Liberty League - Scam or Real Work From Home Opportunity

As I looked into Liberty League as a possibility for a work
at home opportunity and did my due diligence, I came across
some things that where worthy of passing on.

With the ever increasing cutbacks in Corporate America and
all the downsizing taking place more and more people are
looking to work from home to break free from the bondage of
trading time for dollars or worse yet, another statistic in
the downsizing whirlpool. Because of this, many have jumped
into some high dollar Companies with no success. Does
Liberty League fall into this category? How do they stack
up in the home business arena?

Here are some important points that should be examined
before jumping in to this company or any other for that
matter.

Who is Running the Company?

LLI is based in Scottsdale Arizona with Co founders Brent
Payne and Shane Krider at the helm.

What do they offer and what is the price tag to join?

The company sells and markets products in the personal
growth and development market for educational and training
purposes. To get started with Liberty, a new person must
first pay $1495 to become a Liberty League business
associate. And that enables that person to start marketing
but but not instantly profiting (will explain that shortly)
in this program. Other products include the Liberty
Conference which is a 3-day personal development seminar
priced at $8000 and the Summit Conference which is a 5-day
personal development seminar price at $13000.

And more costs!

Also keep in mind that in order to run this business, you
need to spend $39.95 a month on the replicated website,
$19.95 a month for an 800 number (expensive as I know of
many 800 services that are less costly), $99 quarterly to
have access to their PROLINK conference system, and at
least $200 a month on leads from their self-owned lead
company, Extreme Leads.

What is the Compensation Plan?

The business opportunity consists of an Australian 2-Up
compensation plan with a payout of $1000 for every sale
made by the qualified affiliate. Here is where the not
instantly profiting part comes in. The affiliate does not
become qualified to receive that $1000 commission till he
has passed up the first two sales to his sponsor. This
means they must give almost $3500 ( $1000 x 2 + $1495 start
up = $3495) before they can earn any money with the
program. Another issue with Liberty League's 2-Up program
is that if you bring in someone who makes a sale or two per
day, you only get their first 2 sales and then you no
longer get paid on their efforts. They then breakaway from
the sponsor and actually end up becoming the competition.
This doesn't give the qualified Liberty League sponsoring
associate much motivation to help the new associate since
they will ultimately become competition.

In Review

For someone that wants to start a home business this is
going to be a rough route to go that has never been in the
sales arena. Most people have a tough time and don't want
to spend time on the phone calling leads. Also it is
discouraging for that newbie to pass up that much money to
their sponsor. I would only recommend this to the
experienced marketer that does not mind passing up sales.
