When I say “Market America” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For most, the phrase following Market America is SCAM, complaints, or sucks. In fact, Google is well aware that Market America is a scam too. If you start typing in the phrase “Market America,” the number 1 suggestion is Market America SCAM. There is a reason why Google suggests Market America Scam. SCAM is suggested because it is the phrase most frequently searched in conjunction with Market America.
That so many people search the exact phrase Market America Scam is a testament to the fact that the Market America UnFranchise business “opportunity” is a scam and sucks compared to other MLM opportunities, which is why there are so many complaints. Instead of Market America Unfranchise, it is has become Market America Scam. In fact, did you know that the exact phrase “Market America Scam” is searched in Goolge 5400 times a month, and “Market America Unfranchise” is searched a mere 720 times per month. That means Market America is branded as a scam 7.5 times more than it is associated with Unfranchise. Market America and Scam are virtually synonymous. I am a website marketer/ SEO writer for hire and have much knowledge and experience optimizing websites for search engines. The reason for my complaints and thinking “Market America scam,” is because Market America Unfranchise pays very poorly for your efforts, and in times of a recession, and even when the economy is good, people do NOT want to pay an arm and a leg for vitamins, antioxidants, and energy supplements they can just as easily buy at the dollar store. Do not waste your time with the Market America cult. Market America is a scam and waste of money. I say Market America scam because you pay for nonsensical training to sell their over priced products for a very poor commission. Sure, some people have made some money with Market America, but they should start asking themselves how much money they would have made in a company that offers far better commission rates and marketable products.
Market America has often been referred to as a scam. There are numerous reasons why many people believe market america is a scam. This article will explore these reasons from a website perspective. Consider that people who join market america do not actually own the website www.MarketAmerica.Com. Rather, market america essentially loans their distributors a replicated portion of their website with a reallllllllyyyyyy long and confusing URL. If people simply go to marketamerica.com, you will earn absolutely nothing from the sales generated. So all the talk and selling and putting the word out about MA is useless and a waste of time if people do not go to your specific URL, for example www.marketamerica.com/Your-Specific-URL-that-Noone-Wants-to-Type-in-because-it-is-a-lot-easier-to-just-go-to-the-corporate-version
When you pay money, oftentimes as much as $1-$5 for pay-per-click advertising to market “your” products, people click the ad, decide if they want to buy, and likely come back at a later time. However, when they return, they are not going to type in your long and unmemorable website portal. Why would they? They don’t care about your commission, and probably do not even know that you earn commission at market america.
So where do they wind up? You guessed it, marketamerica.com corporate site. Based on your ads, your word-of-mouth, and your time, energy and efforts, you earn $0 commission for promoting OPC 3 isotonix, or whatever you decided to market. There are literally 100s of thousands of market america distributors, and they are all selling the same exact products. Why would I spend even an extra second to type in your MA URL? How does that help me?
Here’s the unadulterated, no BS lowdown and one of the reasons why there are so many Market America Complaints:
Out of every 100 people to get into a MLM program:
– 98 will lose money. Some will lose a LOT of money.
– 1 will break even.
– 1 will actually make more than they invested. (But almost always no where near the touted possible returns.)
Once an MLM plan hits the web and starts a campaign blitz, the opportunities to be that 1 person out of a 100 are almost nil.
Are you sure this is the route you truly want to take?
I’ve written for a good number of MLM sites.
The ONLY ones who made any money were the ones who created the MLM offer in the 1st place.
Notwithstanding how great the copy is (and I write exceptionally great copy) the market is so saturated with hopefuls wanting to cash in on the offer, no matter how hard they try, they never meet their goals.
If you are determined to throw your money down it will become a bottomless pit.
Market America Unfranchise in all probability won’t make you a dime – but at least you’ll know you’ve given it the old college try.
The web is a fantastic place to make money for inexperienced entrepreneurs, but only for those who have a under-utilized market niche or those helping others to achieve their financial success. I’m afraid polo shirts really don’t fall into a saleable category. (Check e-Bay to see what others are selling them for. If you can beat their prices, then by all means sell on e-bay. I’ll be an inexpensive way to get your feet wet with online commerce.)
