Nowadays many people are making money working from home via the internet. There are many different ways this can be done but there are also many scams out there so one must be very careful.

First let me start of with a legit no fee work from home business. There aren’t too many of these types of home internet businesses, but this is one of the few. It is called “Niche Marketing” among other similar names. The basic principle is to create a website about a certain topic that has the ability to make it to the first or second page of the Google search results. The main reason being that if you can get to the first or second page of Google then it’s highly unlikely anyone will ever find your site.

This Niche Marketing has no fee whatsoever attached to it. That doesn’t mean however it is without costs. You will need to buy a domain for each site you make (about $10 per year) and also have webhosting. It is by no means a scam but of course it is by no means easy either. You need to have some computing knowledge as you need to buy domains and create websites. Many use WordPress which is fairly easy to use but even for an experienced computer guy setting up your first WordPress website will take some time. Once you have done one, of course, it gets very easy.

Further you will need to do “keyword research”. This is possibly the longest part of the job as you need to find “niches” i.e. keywords where the competition is low so that there is a good chance you will reach the first page of Google, or close to it.

Once you have found your topic then there are a couple of ways you can make money with your new website. The most popular and perhaps easiest is with Google Adsense. This is completely free to join and you basically give Google some space on your website and when people click on the ads you earn money. Very easy!

You can expect to make about $1 per day with Google adsense on a niche site. (Unless you are lucky enough to find a niche with high search traffic – very hard to find). The idea is to have many of these websites so that you can make possible $100s per day depending on how many sites you have. The nice thing is that once the site is set up and running it shouldn’t need any work afterwards. So you spend a lot of time creating the sites but then you just relax forever as the sites earn money.

You can also make money through affiliate programs. So if your site is about Pet Toys then you can find another website that sells pet toys and become an affiliate for that site making a commission off of each sale that is made from the customers you send to that site. Therefore you can have 2 potential forms of income from the same site.

Now perhaps you aren’t very good at creating websites but you are eager to try to make money online. The other very popular way is by joining some sort of MLM or Pyramid scheme. Many people think that these are scams but they aren’t really. Sure there are many that are scams, but just because some are scams doesn’t mean that all of them are.

Things to avoid are anything that sounds like “Google Cash Kit” or “Make Money With Google”, these are very scammy in that they try to sell you a kit for $2-$5 (very low price). They make it out that this is all you pay, a small fee for the shipping but what you don’t realize is that you have just signed up for a subscription service that might cost you $50-$100 per month. The crazy thing about this is that it’s completely legal. The reason being that at the bottom of the page where you provide your credit card details there is some very small writing about the monthly fee. Of course it is never mentioned anywhere else and all the sales pages make you think that it is just a cheap kit you are buying and all you have to do is pay the shipping.

Another scam to avoid is the work from home stuffing envelopes scam. The websites promoting this supposed work from home job make it out to be that many companies are willing to pay people to handle and process their mail for them. This is by no means true. I should know because I used to fix the machines that are used to perform this job. Companies like Francotyp Postalia, Pitney Bowes and Neopost all make machines that automate this process and work infinitely faster than any human can. Further many companies offer this service in bulk (because they have these machines) and it works out to pennies a piece. So what company in their right mind is going to pay anyone $10 or more per hour to do a job that can be done by a machine at 100 times the speed and therefore much cheaper?

If you have seen any sites trying to promote this type of work you will notice that you will need to pay a fee in order to do the work. This is your first alarm signal. They say the fee is to weed out the people who aren’t serious or to purchase the names and contact details of companies who want this work done but it isn’t true. You are just buying into a scheme whereby you try to get others to do the same and earn a commission for doing so. The companies promoting this are not very up front about this so that’s why I would label it as a scam. You can of course make money from promoting this, but you make your money by duping others into falling into the same trap. Not a really nice way to make money.

Other scams should be easy to identify. Any site that has a “guarantee” about the income you can earn is a scam as no one can ever guarantee anything. All success is down to how much work you put in and a little bit of luck. This is something that no one in their right mind can make a guarantee for.

Another very popular way to make money legitimately online is to join a real MLM scheme. One of the most popular and well known schemes is GDI (Global Domains International Inc). You basically pay $10 per month to be a member and that $10 gets you a very basic webhosting service. Illegal MLM schemes don’t give you anything for your money (ie no product), but this is a real product. It just so happens that most people don’t really care about or use the product. Nevertheless it’s real and legal. They have been going for about 10 years now and I even think they are traded publicly on the stock market (I could be wrong).

You earn money by getting others to join, so you advertise on the internet wherever you can. Most people use free advertising like traffic exchanges and so forth. The commission is $1 per month per person. But you also get the same commission if one of your referrals gets a referral. This happens up to 5 levels down. So, simply speaking, if you got 1 person per month, and everyone did the same, you would be earning $1000s per month after your first year. It’s very slow going in the beginning but it picks up as you stick at it and the idea is to get the snowball rolling. Now the goal of 1 person per month seems very easy but in reality it isn’t. Not necessarily for you, but perhaps for others. The numbers all seem very easy in theory, but in practice it just doesn’t happen that way.

However, if you are very skilled in sales and marketing then you will likely be successful with Global Domains International Inc. They also offer a very good bonus scheme. If you get 5 signups within a week you can earn a $100 cash bonus. This is possibly the best bonus scheme available on the internet.

The drawbacks with GDI. is that it’s been around for so long so almost everyone is in it or already has been. The only possible or potential customers are the new people who come to the internet in search of work and haven’t heard of or tried GDI yet (like me a year ago – I am no longer a member now however). These people can be considered “fresh fish” for G.D.I. marketers. The thing is there are thousands of thousands of GDI marketers online. It’s kind of like fishing in a lake where there are thousands of people fishing at the same time. If 1 new fish enters the lake what are the chances that you will catch it ? So in the end I dropped out of GDI as I didn’t see a great future in it. However, that may not be the case for you so by all means give it a try. The most you can lose is $10 per month. Don’t let me put you off if you were considering trying it out. Nothing ventured nothing gained right ?

However before jumping into Global Domains International Inc, you might want to consider some of the new competition that has come on the scene in the last year. One of the best, in my opinion, is Teamwork Revolution. They are very similar to GDI in that they are $10/month and the product is again webhosting. Their webhosting product however is far superior to GDIs. GDI only offer 100MB of web space or 10 pages, whichever comes first. Teamwork Revolution offer full blown cPanel webhosting service with 700MB of space and unlimited pages as well as unlimited traffic and other necessary things like MySQL Databases. Therefore GDI can’t even hold a candle to Teamwork Revolution when it comes to product comparison.

Their compensation plan is also much better. First of all it is a forced matrix program. If you aren’t familiar with what a forced matrix is it basically means you have the possibility of getting spillover. The whole point of these MLMs is to get people to join under you. Well, if you are in a forced matrix it’s possible that you will receive spillover from your upline thereby earning commissions without even doing anything. This isn’t only a great benefit for you, but it is also a huge selling point for future potential recruits. Everyone loves forced matrices, so if you aren’t in one it will likely be much harder to entice people to join as there are so many forced matrices now.

As for compensation, you earn up to 6 levels down, unlike GDIs 5 levels. Further, Teamwork Revolution give you $2 per month per person for the first 5 people which means once you have 5 people on your first line you break even, unlike GDI where you would need double that (ie 10 people) in order to break even. Moreover, Teamwork Revolution give you $2/person per month commission for the recruits on your 4th line as well. All in all, the commission structure is far superior to GDI’s.

The only advantage GDI have over Teamwork Revolution (and pretty much every other competitive company) is their bonus scheme. I already said that GDI pay $100 for every 5 people sponsored within 1 week on top of the $1/person per month residual commissions. Teamwork Revolution don’t offer this so if you think you can sponsor 5 or more people per week into GDI then GDI is definitely for you. However, for most people, 5 people per month is hard enough never mind 5 people per week. So for these reasons I would recommend Teamwork Revolution over GDI any day. I hope I have given you some food for thought if you happen to have been considering GDI as a way to make money online.

Now you may be wondering if I think it’s such a great company and money making opportunity why did I leave? The main reason is that it didn’t quite work for me personally. I tried it out for about 5 months and I was able to personally sponsor about 10 people but the problem was is that’s where it stopped. Those others weren’t able to replicate the process. Possibly because they didn’t bother trying (an unfortunate drawback with forced matrices is that they attract lazy people who think they can get rich purely on spillover – impossible!) or it’s possible they did try but they just didn’t succeed. Whatever the reasons, eventually the people I recruited dropped out after they didn’t see the expected or hoped for success. This is a huge challenge with these monthly payment matrices. You feel like you are constantly bailing water out of a leaking boat. Although you have no boss or anyone telling you what to do and when to do it, you still feel under a lot of pressure to recruit quickly. If you don’t keep the ball rolling then it’s very likely your matrix will implode as people drop out. If you aren’t able to keep recruiting new people and providing spillover then people drop out, which in turn causes others to drop out as they see their own downline dropping out. So for this reason I decided to give up all together on the monthly payment matrices. I don’t like working hard to build a business only to see it collapse. It feels like you are building a house on water. I prefer to build on concrete (so to speak).

Where I have had most of my success and profit is with 1 time payment matrices. These are great and also have excellent potential. You can make just as much money with these MLM programs and possibly even more. What I like about them is you only ever make 1 payment so your risk is limited entirely to that 1 payment as apposed to monthly payment matrices where your risk is dependant upon how long you stay in the program. Further, with 1 time payment matrices if you decide to take a months holiday there is no risk. People don’t drop out of 1 time payment MLMs. If you stop marketing for a while, there’s no leaky boat feeling. Theses MLMs never implode or go backwards, this is like building on top of concrete.

One of the successful programs I tried was 4×1 Fortune. It is only $11 to join and it is a “Cycler Matrix”. What that means is you need to “cycle” before you make any commissions. Once you make 6 sales you will cycle and earn $30. So you nearly triple your money after only 6 sales which is pretty good. If you make 5 sales you earn nothing. The commission doesn’t happen until the 6th person. It is also a forced matrix so you will possibly get spillover or spillunder once in a while but I always stress this should never be relied upon. If you do this you won’t get anywhere. Although it’s possible to get spillovers I recommend just carrying on as if this didn’t happen that way when it does it’s just a nice bonus. The “product” in this case is just some e-books and videos and stuff to help you with online marketing. Most people don’t care about the product, they just want the chance to make some money. So if you are looking for a simple program with low risk and one that actually works and pays, then 4 by 1 fortune is definitely one to consider.

If for some reason you don’t want to risk $11, or you want to try something that is even easier, then I recommend Work for $3 (WF3D). This is only $3 to join as the name implies (well there is a $0.40 alertpay fee). This is basically a mailing list builder. This is a highly useful tool especially for online marketers. As you recruit others to join this list you earn a little bit of money. It is by no means a lot of money but it has the potential to turn into millions. For example, if you recruited just 3 people in your first month and then never recruited again ie retired, and everyone else did the same thing, then in your 11th month you would earn almost $18,000. It seems crazy but it’s a fact. Only 3 people in the first month seems easy, especially considering I recruited about 30 people in my first month. However, I am in my 7th month or so and the reality is that other people are not able to recreate the same success I had. In fact there are many who after 7 months haven’t recruited a single person. Possibly because they haven’t tried or perhaps they have tried and failed, and then there are others who consistently get signups every week which is contributing to the growth of my downline. I have personally now recruited about 100 people, but my downline is about 500 because some of the 100 that I recruited have become successful recruiters themselves. It’s all about what you put into it.

So if you are looking for a really easy program with the potential to turn into decent residual income then give Work for $3 (WF3D) a try. The worse case scenario is that you lose $3.40 right ? But the best case scenario is you will have a residual income for years to come like I am enjoying right now. Even after 7 months I am only seeing about $10/month in residual commissions, but it’s still free money and I’m not really trying hard at it anymore. Further, it definitely has the potential to grow into a lot more than that.

So there you have it. There are many ways to make money online via the internet. Above are just some online opportunities that exist. I hope my experiences and reviews will help you to make your decision as to which online business opportunity you will try out. If you try any of my recommended programs I would love to hear about your experiences good or bad. We can all learn from each other.

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.

Feel free to leave your Teamwork Revolution comments below.

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!
