When you are trying to sniff out a scam there is a general
checklist of things to watch out for in a network marketing
opportunity. Some red flags are of greater concern than
others. Companies that don't offer a real product, have
non-refundable fees to join, and depend on selling an
opportunity rather than a product are potential schemes
that may collapse when there are not enough people left to
recruit. While these traits may be as deceitful as true
scams where owners take your money and run, questionable
practices may point to a lack of integrity in the business
model. Should you join such a company, you will eventually
have to choose whether on not you are willing to perpetuate
the cycle for the sake of money.
Another company that offers those who buy in a chance to
earn big commissions was started in 2007. Chris Campbell,
previously with Easy Daily Cash and Perfect Wealth Formula,
pulled out to found Roadmap to Riches with Brian Grant.
Similar to other programs, Campbell and Grant's company has
a 2-up compensation plan. To join as a distributor with
them, you pay $999 and get a collection of electronic
materials for personal development that you can then sell.
The commission policy was changed so that after splitting
the commission on the first two sales, on the rest of your
sales, a 100% commission is yours to keep. Besides the fee
you pay to join, each month there is a $49.95 fee to
maintain membership.
Once again, like other programs it resembles, questions
abound. Are the electronic products really that valuable?
Will there be many people willing to pay that much for them
and/or the business opportunity? Even if you are successful
and make money in this program, do you believe it is a fair
way to do it? Skeptics would answer "no" to these
questions. Another more practical consideration is how
saturated the market will become. As more people join the
company's sales team, the pool of prospects will grow
smaller. Will the top earners then jump ship as Campbell
did to start their own empires?
In recent years several new companies have sprung up that
make similar promises about the money you can earn through
online home based businesses using software that does
almost everything for you. Roadmap to Riches falls into
this category. So whatever you decide about the other
companies whose success it is designed to replicate and
surpass probably applies to this opportunity as well. Is
it a legitimate way to earn income? You must be the judge
after checking the facts.
