MonaVie – Business Review MonaVie by Dallin A. Larsen, found at monavie.com, is a rather unusual phenomenon. A forty dollar fruit juice only sold through the multi level marketing model by their members, average non mlm people, to friends and family. MonaVie claims it has about a million nonsalaried sales people and has been around since 2005. Because it’s a private business, they don’t have to show proof, but very few of them make any substantial earnings worth mentioning. MonaVie …

Youngevity – Business Review Youngevity, by Steve Wallach and found at youngevity.com, is an mlm, or multi level marketing business opportunity that uses nutritional products as its way of avoiding being labeled as a pyramid scheme. Having researched and reported many MLMs, both scam and legit I look at certain factors to determine whether it is a real opportunity or not. One of the factors I look at is how high a markup is placed on the company products. Usually, …

Nutronix – Scam Review Nutronix, by Nutronix International and found at nutronix.com, is a troubled multi-level marketing business that sells health and beauty aids online and through distributors that join the MLM membership. I always tell you that the only ones in multi level marketing that make any money are the guys right at the top, and that those way below, rarely make much if anything at all. In fact, most of the time, operations such as Nutronix get people …

Creative Memories – Business Review Creative Memories by Rhonda Anderson and Cheryl Lightle, found at creativememories.com, is a multi-level marketing company that deals in selling scrapbooking supplies and recruiting people to distribute and recruit others. While it’s true that we don’t recommend getting involved in mlm to anyone, the case is not any different with Creative Memories. We still don’t recommend mlm due to the high failure rate of success. The company does have a solid enough line of products, …

Vemma – Business Review Vemma by BK Boreyko, found at vemma.com, is a nutritional supplement multi-level marketing business that is more interested in you recruiting more people than they are about selling its product. This is because the product gets sold to those you recruit, as well as yourself, to the tune of about $150 to $600 and up. One of several concerns with Vemma is that the products it sells are marked up several times higher than similar items …

Shaklee – Business Entry Shaklee by Roger Barnett, found at shaklee.com, is a health and beauty aids company that uses multi-level marketing as its model for distribution, sales and promotions. As we always say mlm is seldom recommended here, and Shaklee is no different. That being said, Shaklee does have decent products and has been around a very long time. It is a testament to them that they’ve outlasted many others through the decades since 1956. However, just because they’ve …

Melaleuca – Business Review Melaleuca by Frank VanderSloot, found at melaleuca.com, is a multi-level marketing health and beauty aids company that focuses on recruiting downline recruiters more than selling its product. It would just barely brush the border of a pyramid scheme if it wasn’t for the actual product being there. Stating right from the start that I could not throw a cyber rock two virtual feet before finding a multitude of complaints, rip off site reports, and negative reviews …

USANA – Business Review USANA, by Dr. Myron Wentz and found at usana.com, is a multi-level marketing business that is just this side of a pyramid scheme, according to the IRS. There are so many complaints registered online about this business that there are even dedicated watchdog sites just for exposing their unsavory practices. Since Usana does offer nutritionals and health aid products, it is barely not a scam, but I will say that they have been accused of being …

Amway – Scam Review Amway by Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel, found at amway.com, is the mother of all mlm’s – which is one way of putting it. Amway has been around longer than any other multi-level marketing business opportunity both on and offline, and they will most likely outlast them all despite their horrible past and present notorious reputation. All those people who have been stuck with garages full of crumbling Amway products may grudgingly agree with this. …

Mannatech – Business Review Mannatech by Samuel L. Caster and Dr. Robert A. Sinnott, found at mannatech.com, is a multi-level marketing that distributes self proclaimed health cures. This claim has plagued them with legal problems. At one point Mannatech was one of the top small companies among the business press and media. Their downfall began with a class action suit that challenged Mannatech products and their claims of outrageous cures without any scientific proof to back them up. Moreover, an …
