Is Infinity Downline a Scam ? A Review

Infinity downline is an interesting addition to my reviews as it’s compensation plan is different from what I have seen so far.  In fact I actually think it’s quite good.  Normally I look at how many people one must recruit in order to break even and with this “reverse 2 up” system you break even after your first recruit.

Of course it’s impossible to get any better than this.  I have seen many some forced matrices that allow you to break even with 2 and up until then that’s as low as I thought it would ever get, but this reverse 2 up system has made it possible to break even with 1.

Basically you pay $25 per month to be a member of Infinity downline.  I won’t bother talking about the “products” as nobody really cares.  Just some e-book and how-to videos etc (essentially information).  They just provide that in order to stay legal.

Once you recruit someone their $25/month goes directly to you.  So with just 1 recruit you are breaking even.  Your 2nd and 4th recruits get passed up to your sponsor so you aren’t actually in profit until you have 3 recruits.  Don’t let that put you off, as this passing up of recruits is necessary in order to have the leverage effect that everyone wants with MLM.

Every recruit from your 5th onwards will be yours to keep forever.

So the passing up process also happens in your benefit.  Your 1st, 3rd and 5th onward recrutis will pass up to your THEIR 2nd and 4th recruits.  Those 2 recruits will also in turn do the same thing.  So essentially everyone only needs to get 2 recruits to create a snowball effect.

The only drawback to this system, perhaps, is their is no forced matrix concept.  Which means there is no chance of “spillover” from your upline.  Of course your upline will be motivated to help you get your first 2 recruits as they don’t make any money until you have 2 so there is that possibility.  Therefore the lack of spillover may not be such a problem.

The main thing I don’t like about infinitydownline.com is that it’s a monthly fee program.  I haven’t had any good experiences with monthly payment schemes.  In all my experiments, I found that monthly payment programs don’t last long term which is the main thing preventing me from trying a monthly program again.  However, if I were to try another one I think I would try one that uses this “reverse 2 up” system, as I like being able to break even after only 1 recruit.  That should certainly help retention rates (the biggest problem with these online schemes).

Another thing that makes me suspicious is the fact that the owners of Infinity Downline don’t appear to be making any commissions off the members efforts.  Everyone passes their 2 referrals up to their sponsor but that’s as far as it goes.  The only money the admins are making would be from their own personal recruiting efforts.  That is very puzzling to me.

Perhaps there is a monthly admin fee that isn’t mentioned on the site anywhere.  But if there isn’t and it’s just a straight $25 payment then this is very strange, as no one makes a business where only the sales force make money and the company itself makes nothing from the efforts of the sales force.

All in all this scheme isn’t so bad from a strictly mathematical/compensation point of view.  Like all schemes there isn’t really any product that anyone wants.  This is just a legal way to get people to give each other “cash gifts”.  If some company offered the reverse 2 up system with a product that people actually need and use I would be all over that.   However, that is highly unlikely to ever happen.

Is Narc That Car a Scam ? A Review

This program is surprisingly similar to the D.N.A. Data Network Affiliates program which has a free signup option whereas this requires a $100 joining fee PLUS a $25/month membership fee.

I’m not even going to waste my time going into this program very much as I think it’s ridiculous.  Who pays $100 and then $25 per month to work anywhere ?  The fact that D.N.A. Data Network Affiliates are doing pretty much the exact same thing for free makes me wonder how narcthatcar.com will get anywhere with this.

I also believe that D.N.A. Data Network Affiliates will eventually fail, but if you were considering joining Narc That Car I recommend you at least try D.N.A. Data Network Affiliates instead because at least it’s free.

Overall I wouldn’t waste my time with any of these as they aren’t going to work long term.  I am enjoying success with Adsense and affiliate marketing which is the only free legit work from home program I have tried thus far.  I suggest you look at it yourself.

Is Teamwork Revolution a Scam ? A Review

I was a member of Teamwork Revolution during the first few months of their beginning.  It was basically a spin off of Revolutionary Matrix by a former successful GDI Marketer named James Al-Oboudi.

As far as I can see, initially James Al-Oboudi and some others started Revolutionary Matrix.  For what ever reason James Al-Oboudi decided to part ways with Revolutionary Matrix and start his own little program (teamworkrevolution.com) which is still in business almost 1 year later.

In the beginning there was quite a lot of bad blood and a smear campaign against James Al-Oboudi.  In my opinion he was innocent of all the false accusations and he presented a very strong and convincing case proving this.  He was always professional and didn’t resort to foul language or sabotage or any sort of revenge which gave me more reason to believe he was an innocent victim of the attacks.

All in all it seemed some people were unhappy to see James go, as in reality it meant he took a lot of customers/affiliates with him and thereby a lot of money too.

So back to Teamwork Revolution.  This program was almost identical to it’s counterpart Revolutionary Matrix in that it is a $10 per month forced 5×6 matrix mainly designed to compete head to head with Global Domains International Inc.

In doing so they have done a pretty good job, in my opinion, as both these programs offer a lot of advantages over GDI.  However Teamwork Revolution DO have the advantage over Revolutionary Matrix because Teamwork Revolution offer a commission of $2 per person for the first 5 recruits allowing members to break even at 5, whereas Revolutionary Matrix offer $1 making it necessary to have 10 recruits to break even.

Their products are essentially the same ie  web hosting with standard cPanel interface and MySQL, PHP etc.  However most people know the same product is easily available for half or less the price than what they are offering it for.  In reality, no one joins these schemes because they want the product, only a fool would do so.  I personally have webhosting that is just as good, if not better, for less than half the price.  Further, when I was with Teamwork Revolution they changed servers which interrupted my service and in my experience this seems to be a regular thing with these web hosting matrices.  So anyone who genuinely wants web hosting will probably find it a bit troublesome to use.

Teamwork Revolution always paid me what they owed me so I have no complaints about that.  I wouldn’t say Teamwork Revolution is a scam by any means, however I do take issue with the image that James Al-Oboudi is trying to paint for himself and his company.

When Teamwork Revolution first started it had a very nice feature whereby if someone randomly came to the TWR home page as the result of the owner James’ advertising efforts, those signups would end up randomly going under one of the members in the matrix, regardless if they were at the top or at the bottom, regardless of whether they had just joined minutes ago or joined months ago.  This “lottery” was a nice feature and gave an equal chance to everyone regardless of their position.

However, a month or so later I noticed my signup page hits had significantly decreased.  So I checked the home page and noticed the signups were no longer random but were going to one person specifically until someone had signed up at which point it would move on to the next person.  I noticed the names of these people were the admins and people who were at the top of the matrix, not the “little guys”.  I sent a private message to James about it and he said he didn’t know about that stuff as that was the technical side of things and I should contact the appropriate person.  I ended speaking to someone named Cheryl.  She told me this “new placement” method was better than the old one.  Of course I dis-agreed as it didn’t benefit the “little guy” (a phrase that TWR loved to use – they claim to be all about the “little guy”).  So needless to say I was annoyed when they changed their program in such a way that DIRECTLY did NOT benefit the little guy but benefited the company and the big guys at the top.  When I didn’t agree with Cheryl she got angry and even insulting.  In my experience people who try to hide a lie end up reacting like this.  She was very condescending and patronizing and told me that I have no idea what I am talking about as I don’t have access to the traffic logs and I have no idea how the random sign ups are being allocated.  However she was wrong.  I watched where the random signups went over a 2 week period and those sign ups went to the members of the admin and other people who were at the top of the matrix.  NONE of the little guys were getting those random signups anymore.

The reason for this was that the company makes less money if the signups are placed under people far down the matrix.  It’s more profitable for a company to have a member high up within the first 6 layers.  I won’t spend the time explaining that here, but it’s simple mathematics.

Now this isn’t to say it was impossible for someone to get a random signup.  People were indeed still getting random signups, however only those people at or close to the top of the matrix were getting them.  The “little guys” down at the bottom, under this new scheme, wouldn’t likely see any random signup for years to come.   The old way was better for the little guy and more fair and that is a FACT.  TWR would never admit to this of course as it goes against their “we are there for the little guy” motto, which I no longer buy into.

However, despite all this, when analyzing things from a purely business point of view TWR still have the edge over others.  If I were to join a $10 per month webhosting matrix this would be the one as it has the best commission structure thus far.  I’m sure it won’t be long before someone catches on and starts their own matrix slightly better and the cycle of jumping from one program to another continues.  But until then feel free to try your luck at this.  My prediction is your success will be short lived just as mine was with this and every other monthly payment program.

In defense of TWR they did make another move which did indeed directly benefit the members and as a result cost them money.  Initially they were paying out $2 per member for the 6th level.  After a few months James suggested changing the $2 payout to the 4th level instead.  What this meant was the maximum monthly payout per position would be less, but everyone in this business knows it’s next to impossible to fill a matrix and make it to the 6th level.  Therefore changing the $2 higher payout amount to the 4th level instead is a much more realistic goal but also costs the company more money as most companies put the higher payout at the bottom level knowing fine and well no one will ever reach it.

So in reality TWR confuses me.  I initially bought into the “little guy” promise and even saw the above move as one that supported their motto.  But then they go and directly take something away from the little guy ie the random signup system, and when questioned about it get angry and defensive and in my opinion lie and try to cover it up.  So in the end I have no idea what to think.  Perhaps James Al-Oboudi really is who he says he is and his co-workers/partners pull the wool over his face sometimes.  Perhaps James is genuinely trying his best to do all he can for the little guy but his greedy business partners make adjustments to increase profits while keeping James in the dark.  Who knows and who cares? I don’t.

As for me, I will stick with Work for $3.  It has consistently paid me every month since starting and I am guaranteed to never lose any money ever as it is a one-time payment program.  With Teamwork Revolution I made money in the beginning but then everyone dropped out because they expected instant riches and results.  This is what most people expect and this is why these schemes don’t work.  Recruiting people isn’t that hard, KEEPING them is the challenge.  If you can’t keep them you are doomed to fail.  With Work for $3 this isn’t a problem as it’s only a 1 time payment and therefore no one ever drops out, as there is no need to.

Is Global Domains International Inc a Scam ? A Review

The GDI business opportunity is perhaps one of the most well knows online schemes out there.  In fact it was this very matrix program that got me interested in the working from home online market in the first place.

Global Domains International Inc (also knows simply as “GDI” or “G.D.I.”) is basically a full legal pyramid or multi level marketing scheme.  I am no longer a member so you need not have any fear that I am speaking positively about this opportunity as a ruse to get you to join at the end of this review.

Simple put you pay $10 per month to have some webhosting and a domain ending with “.ws” as apposed to the more common “.com”, “.org” or “.net” domain endings.

The “.ws” actually comes from Samoa believe it or not.  Domain extensions are normally given to each country.  I for example could not request the extenstion “.myname” just for the fun of it (at least I don’t think I could).  The savvy business owners over at Global Domains International ws made a deal with the island of Samoa.  The “.ws” domain extension actually belongs to Samoa and the GDI entrepreneurs wanted to start a business whereby the domain extension would identify with their company.  A smooth business move, however it isn’t so easy to get your own extension.  Hence, they found some small country who wouldn’t likely care very much if they sold or leased their extension to someone else, and Samoa is where they found their answer.

Anyways back to the review.  The GDI business opportunity is no different from the many other online opportunities out there incliuuding the Work for $3 that I recommend here.  You simply join for $10 per month and try to get others to do the same.  Each person that you recruit earns you $1 per month.  So, once you have recruited 10 people you will be breaking even (ie earning $10 per month but also paying $10 per month to be part of the program).

One of the unique things about Global Domains Intl is that they have Paypal as a payment option.  I believe they are the only ones that have paypal, making them perhaps a more trusted program.  Most, if not all, of the other programs only use Alertpay or others as Paypal is very strict about who they let use their system, especially towards MLM and Pyramid schemes.  How G.D.I. were able to get and keep Paypal is beyond me but nevertheless they have them and that is a big plus for them.

As Global Domain International Inc is a multi level program you also earn from your referrals referrals down 5 levels.  There is no limit as to how much money you can make with this and many have become rich from it.  Perhaps why it is so famous and popular.

I joined as an experiment a few months ago but I found it very hard to recruit anyone.  I put this down to a number of factors :

1. GDI has been around for a long time and therefore everyone is already in it or already was at one point in time in the past and therefore the market is quite saturated.  Not to mention you are competing against the 1000s, or perhaps millions of other GDI affiliates out there advertising and trying to get the same people you are and therefore competition is FIERCE.

2. There are many new copycat programs out there that are similar and even better than GDI.  Teamwork Revolution for example are one that are also $10 per month but give a slightly higher commission, and better yet ,offer a forced matrix structure which is much more appealing to a potential recruit.

3. The product GDI offer isn’t very good.  100MB of space or 10 web pages.  Most of the other copycat programs offer full blown webhosting with unlimited space and traffic as well as MySQL, PHP and other highly useful and necessary features.

So for me GDI was a waste of time and I didn’t make any money at it.  I will stick with my Work for $3 as it’s only $3 to join and a one time fee.  It continues to make me a little bit of money every week and is the easiest thing I have tried and earned me the most money so far.

Is MK Hosting a Scam ? – A Review

MK Hosting is another web hosting matrix that has recently sprung up and I am sure this won’t be the last.

When they first started out they were a 3×6 forced matrix costing $17.99 per month allowing you to earn a maximum of $1458/mo per position.  Now, however, they have since changed to a 3×8 forced matrix costing $19.99 per month with a maximum potential income of $10,584/mo per position.

This changing in structure and price is something I have seen quite a lot with these programs.  The reason behind it is they are trying to make the program more appealing and or more profitable.  By adding $2 per month to the price and changing the structure to 3×8 they are able to increase the potential income to over $10,000 per month.

Perhaps a program that has as potential of $10,000+ per month income vs $1458 is much more appealing.  But the fact is that it is extremely unlikely that anyone will ever reach the maximum level.  You should never judge a program based on what the potential for income is.  There are many programs out there that have UNLIMITED potential income i.e. you can make millions of dollars per month.  That doesn’t make them better than this.

MK Hosting are offering web hosting as well as an autoresponder.  They started up soon after Teamwork Revolution Power System (TWRPS) which has a very similar product.  Many web hosting matrices are just web hosting.  These 2 have added more value by throwing in an auto responder service as well, which for some is very useful and valuable as auto responders can cost $30/month on their own.

Fact of the matter is many people don’t use or need any of these services and what we have is just another scheme that people join for the opportunity and not the product.

If you already pay for an auto responder and web hosting then this is a great way to possibly reduce your costs and even earn a profit from recommending the service.  However I would also warn you that in the early days these companies tend to have a  lot of teething problems which can be very troublesome.  For example they may change servers for one reason or another which would require a lot of leg work on your part to redirect your omain names and perhaps need you to re-upload your websites etc.  Some people have many websites, so with each change the company makes you have possibly hours of work to do each time this happens.

Unfortunately my first encounter with MK Hosting was a negative one.  I learned about it via an email “from a friend”.  The email however wasn’t written in the style of my friend and I suspected it was a fraudulent email and it turned out I was correct.  Someone with a bit of computer knowledge was able to send me (and many others) emails which appeared to be from people we knew promoting this program.  This marketing tactic I must admit is a great idea.  People build relationships and reputations in this business.  Many people will join a program just because a certain person recommends it. I’m not sure how successful this dodgy marketer was as I was able to clearly see through the scam.

This teaches us a lesson with respect to these programs.  The companies cannot control what the marketers do.  Yes this way of marketing is completely fraudulent and maybe even illegal.  That however doesn’t make the company MK Hosting responsible for his actions.  It’s like trying to hold gun companies responsible for the murders committed using those weapons.

Apart from that there’s no reason to put you off joining this.  If you want to give it a try and believe in it by all means do so, but in my experience these monthly payment web matrices die out quickly and you spend all this time trying to market something that eventually fails.  It’s like bailing water out of a leaky boat.

This is why I like the little Work for $3 program.  It will never regress.  It may possibly come to a stand still but it will never ever go backwards and end up being a loss.  Once it’s in profit it always is in profit.  Not so with this or any other monthly payment program.  They all run the risk of going from profit into loss.

If you have any experience with MK Hosting or useful, valuable information that others could benefit from please feel free to post it below.  No spam or affiliate links please.

Is Teamwork Revolution Power System TWRPS a Scam ? A Review

Teamwork Revolution Power System TWRPS is a spin off of the original Teamwork Revolution.  It promised to “revolutionize” the online marketing industry.  I’m not quite sure if it has, but it certainly is one of the best programs out there.

Teamwork Revolution (original) was a $10 per month 5×6 forced matrix.  It was doing quite well since its launch in the Spring of 2009.  I joined it at around the launch time but left a few months later after giving it a good go and not succeeding.   You can read more about my Teamwork Revolution experience on this site.  It seems this original Teamwork Revolution has now been closed down, perhaps because the owner James Al-oboudi wanted to focus on this new Teamwork Revolution Power System.

A few months later this new version deemed “Power System” came out.  I wasn’t in the mood for trying out anymore monthly payment matrices but this one looked promising.  It was a 2×8 forced matrix.  I had always dreamed about a matrix that had a width of 2 and how it would perform.  So mainly out of pure curiousity I joined to see how things would go.

Joining was easy as during pre-launch it was free to join.  Those 2 months proved very interesting as my downline grew to about 150 with the most of those being spillover.  I had never seen such huge amounts of spillover and I started to believe that this was finally the online program I was looking for.  I was certain with spillover rates like this that I was in a good position in the matrix and that people would all join this program because of it’s great spillover rate.

But then of course reality hit when it came time to pay.  The price tag was a bit hefty at $29.95 + $3 alertpay fee.  But I decided to give it a go based on how good everything was going up until that point.  I didn’t expect all 150 people to pay their fee and stick around but I was quite shocked when only about 10 (less than 10%) decided to pay and stick around.

Things didn’t get much better from there.  The following month had more people drop out without any new people joining so I decided it was time to cut my losses and bail ship as the future didn’t look promising for me and this program.

The product is web hosting with an auto-responder.  Auto responders can run you about $30/month alone so TWRPS is trying their best to provide value for the $30 per month.  The thing is, most people who join have no idea what an auto responder is never mind how to use it.  People join these things in hopes of making money, preferably from doing nothing and just getting spillover.

I got paid the 2 months I was with the program on time as promised.  So I would by no means label TWRPS as a scam at this point.  Of course no one knows what the future holds, but at least your losses are maxed out at about $33.  So if you are thinking of giving it a go by all means do so.  But keep in mind the original Teamwork Revolution was supposed to “revolutionize” the online marketing industry but it was abandoned for this program.  What about all those people who had a successful $10 per month business in the old TWR ?  They were either abandoned or expected to join this program at 3 times the price.  So it goes to show that despite what they claim about caring about the “little guy” when it comes to increasing their profits, the “little guy” takes 2nd place.  Perhaps in the future TWRPS will also close down for whatever reason.  The fact is there is no stability in any of these online MLMs except perhaps for GDI since it has been around for so long and is a publicly traded company.

Let me talk about some of the claims that TWRPS makes that aren’t true.  Maybe they believe it to be true but unfortunately their math skills leave much to be desired.

First of all their site says and I quote :

You are given a mathematically impossible to beat rate of spillover, a mathematically impossible to beat break-even point, and an industry leading 96.8% payout”

The first part about mathematically impossible to beat rate of spillover is undeniably true, it’s one of the great benefits to this program.   But I doubt it is the ONLY program out there with a matrix width of 2. The second part however is completely false because Infinity Downline allow you to break even with just 1 referral.  Further the $29.95 fee has an alertpay fee of $3 (at least that was what the fee was when I was a member – it could easily change) and 2 recruits are worth $30 per month.  So although the program itself only costs $29.95, the member is still out of pocket $32.95.  With 2 referrals/recruits giving an income of $30, that’s actually a $2.95 loss, not profit, not break even – am I right ?

Finally the 96.8% payout is also ridiculous.  What really annoys me is that I mentioned this once to James Al-oboudi in an email  a while ago when I was with the old Teamwork Revolution (now closed or dissolved or whatever) warning him that he was making a claim (at that time he claimed the original TWR had a 90% payout rate -  again not entirely true) that was mathematically impossible and possibly setting himself up for humiliation and possible reasons for people to call him a scammer (something he takes very personally.  His reputation is very important to him as it should be to anyone) when they figure out the math to be incorrect .  He didn’t believe me and even when I said I could show him how his figures were wrong he didn’t care.  So I guess I will just explain to everyone here why that number is mathematically incorrect and maybe one day James will stumble upon this site and read for himself and correct his mathematical error.  This isn’t intended to be some expose of a scammer, this mathematical mistake is easily made by anybody, and in fact the same mistake is made by lots of programs who use this type of matrix structure and the same method of calculating their payout rate.

First I need to explain to everyone the method they (and pretty much every other MLM program) use to come up with the “96.8%” figure in the first place.  Remember the fee is $29.95 and you get $15 for anyone in your second line, lines 2-6 are worht $1 each and the final 8th line is worth $8.  So $15 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 +8  = $29 payout.  29/29.95 = 96.8%

What he is claiming is that 96.8% of everyone’s fee is used to pay the members of the program, not the owner (i.e. him).  He makes it appear that he only earns $0.95 per person in the program.  His whole sales pitch is about how greedy other programs are in that they only pay out 50% (ie GDI – again that figure not entirely correct).  I will admit that he IS indeed paying out a higher percentage of the revenue to the members compared to most other programs, but he is by NO means using 96.8% of every single persons membership fee to pay commissions with.

This is because he isn’t taking into account the profit he is making with the people who are at the top of the matrix.  The 96.8% phenomenon only occurs with members who are on the 8th level or lower from the very top of the matrix.  Think about the marketers who are at the very very top of the matrix paying their $29.95 fee.  Where does that fee go ?  100% of the $29.95 goes into the company’s pocket.  Not a single penny of that $29.95 is used to pay any of the members.  Now what about the people in the 2nd line of the matrix ?  They are all paying $29.95 per month but $15 of that must be used to pay the person above them leaving $14.95 in profit for the company.  So for the members in the second row, roughly 50% of their fee is used to pay the members and the rest is profit. for the company.  NO WHERE NEAR THE 96.8% claim they are making.

What happens is as the matrix grows the % of total income the company turns over that is used to pay members slowly increases.  However, it can never in a million years reach the 96.8% they claim.  Even if they had millions of members they would be paying out somewhere between 90%-96.7% (im not going to waste any time getting the exact figure) at the most.  It’s mathematically impossible for it to reach 96.8%.  In reality though, as you can see from above, the company is very profitable, as it makes most of it’s money from the members near the top.  They could change their site to say “we pay UP TO 96.8% of your membership fee to other members” – that would be a true statement because depending on where you are in the matrix the % of your fee that is paid back to members changes.  96.8 % of  SOME (ie all the members 8 levels down or lower from the top) of the member’s fee is used for commissions.

Another claim on their site that annoys me is :

You are entering the most advanced and mathematically superior home-based business in history, allowing you to earn 450% more money than the owner of the company.

He is again making another mathematical error here.  I’m not going to say he is doing this on purpose to mislead you and make himself and his program to look better than it actually is, but the nice this about math is that it doesn’t lie.  So I am not giving my opinion here but merely showing you the truth.

His “450%” comes from the fact that in a full matrix you earn $2330 which is a full matrix of 510 people.  That’s an average income of $4.56 per person.  He claims he only makes $0.95 per person in your matrix giving you 450% more profit than him.  Once again this is only true for people who are in the 8th line or lower in the matrix.  If you are close to the top of the matrix this statement is totally false.   The closer you are to the top of the matrix the more money he makes from you.  It’s impossible to know, who or how many people are close to the top of the matrix, but I am pretty sure he has his best hand picked marketers at the top ensuring maximum profits for him.

Hopefully I haven’t lost you in the math there but the simple fact is the 96.8% figure is completely impossible. and the 450% figure only applies to certain members.  In saying that I’m not saying that this program is a scam by any means.  You can certainly make money from it as many people have.  I am just trying to shed some truthful light on the subject where I can so no one who tries this program can call it a scam.  I think it’s unfair to call a program a scam when it isn’t.  TWRPS isn’t a scam, it’s just an online money making  scheme.  It’s one of the many ways to make money online.  There are TONS of these programs out there all trying to out do one another.  This is definitely one of the better ones (comparitively speaking) however keep in mind there is absolutely no stability in these programs.  They can close overnight and there’s nothing you can do about it.  I have seen it so many times before, even with James Al-oboudi himself.  He used to have a $10/month program called Teamwork Revolution (TWR) (http://www.teamworkrevolution.com) but that website has been down for the past few months so I can only assume he closed that program to concentrate on this new one.  However the old TWR was a great rival for Global Domains International which is also $10 per month and hugely successful.  So all those original TWR people who worked their butts off for few months to build  a successful business lost it all because James decided this TWRPS was better.  In some ways TWRPS  is of course better, but the $10/mo original TWR was great for competing with GDI at the same price point.

So, who’s to say James Al-oboudi doesn’t have some other plan in the pipeline and he will close down this TWRPS because he has found something else better again.  There’s absolutely no way you can guarantee all your blood and sweat and hard work won’t just crumble over night because James Al-oboudi becomes sick or bored of this program.  He get’s a lot of flack from people out there in the market who are jealous of his success and maybe one day once he has amassed enough fortune he will just sell TWRPS or walk away or decide to pursue some other opportunity.  Unless it becomes a publicly traded company like GDI you are building your business on quicksand.  This principle applies to all online MLMs, even the 4×1 Fortune program that I recommended below to get your feet wet.

This is the reason I don’t do these programs anymore as they can’t be trusted to stay around for the long haul.  I prefer to build something I know will last for many years to come and I’m not convinced this will, but of course I could be wrong.  But if the past is anything to go by I will be right eventually.

So if you were thinking of giving this ago why not give it a try ?  The worst you can lose is $29.95 + alertpay fee right ?  If you aren’t sure of your ability to be successful why not try something a little easier first like 4×1 Fortune.  It’s a one time payment of $11 unlike the monthly commitment of $29.95 with TWRPS.  Something else to think about is if you recruit 6 people into TWRPS your profit is about $5/mo whereas with 4×1 Fortune 6 recruits will earn you a one time $30 (i.e a $19 profit).  Futher it doesn’t matter how long it takes you to get those 6, your profit will always be $19.  If you don’t get at least 6 in TWRPS in your 1st month you will end up losing money ( and for newbies this is  a highly likely phenomenon).  If you can make a success of this easy program (4×1 Fortune) than you might be successful with TWRPS.  But jumping straight into TWRPS is a pretty big online program to try for the first time.  You may be biting off more than you can chew.  So it might be better to get your feet wet with 4×1 Fortune and prove to yourself (without a monthly fee) that you’ve got what it takes to be successful at this online marketing stuff.

So the choice is yours.  You will make money at any program so long as you promote and get people to join.  No need to be afraid that it is a scam.  But don’t expect the company to last forever, just enjoy the ride while you can if you can.

If you are afraid of risking money, even $11 or $29.95 you need to remember this.  Many of the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures.  You could also so say success is based on the foundation of 1 or many failures.  This has been so true for me.  From this site you can see that I failed at many of these programs, however those failures were stepping stones and part of the journey that got me to my successful online business which you can read about here : Affiliate Niche Marketing – No Fee – No Recruiting – Actual Legit Work From Home for Free Business.

Nothing ventured nothing gained – is the motto for business.

I don’t bother anymore with the online MLMs.  But for a hobby I still like to check them out and see what new scheme someone has dreamed up and how it compares to the others.  It’s fun!
