Evaluating Market America? In This Review, Find Out If It’s A Scam Or A Real Business
It’s very hard to find non-biased resources on the web the give you an idea what Market America is all about, and whether it’s a viable business or not. The few articles that ARE out there seem to be unclear and not based on fact.
With all of that going on, how exactly do you get factual answers from an unbiased source about Market America?
Well, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, I’m going to share with you all the research I’ve done on this company, giving you the unbiased TRUTH about this company.
I have to say, first and foremost, that if you’re looking for a “get rich quick” scheme, then you’re looking at the wrong compensation plan. Market America focuses on expanding through business owners who are qualified, instead of people who just jump from one thing to the next.
The products that they carry have point values instead of dollar values, and these point values build to a certain point until the distributor gets paid a commission under the compensation plan.
Actually, the point value and dollar value are nearly the same, so they build up in the distributor’s business pretty fast. Even still, there are a couple of ways that distributors get paid in the compensation plan.
They are also paid retail profits - in other words, an immediate commission each time they sell a Market America product.
Market America does not have any purchase requirements for its distributors, but they do have sales requirements, which are imposed by the US government. This is unlikely for a network marketing business.
In this sense, a distributor can get paid from the compensation plan without ever buying any products themselves. But Market America believes that their products are why they are so successful, and they train that you cannot sell a product that you have no experience with. I tend to agree with this - and frankly I’d be skeptical of any company that does not think it has the best products!
Market America’s product line is very diverse. After checking out their website, they have products in just about every major industry, from health supplements to laundry detergent to websites.
Another way to get paid is by marketing the “Mall Without Walls.” This is the website that is actually very similar to a franchise system.
What is really unique about this internet franchise is that there are thousands of stores on the site, and distributors get paid for those sales like they would as an affiliate of those stores. They also offer cash back rewards to their customers for purchasing products online. This is completely different from most Network Marketing companies.
Anyone will tell you that you need to make sure you evaluate the company’s track record for success. Since Market America made its annual reports public, this is easy to do. And the company has experienced growth ever since it began in 1992.
At this point it’s definitely safe to say that Market America is a real business opportunity. BUT - because this business is so unique, with so many products and a completely different compensation plan, it is VITAL that you get the right marketing training to build your business.
