subject: What Is Market America - Market America Scam Review [print this page] A steady buzz has been growing about Market America online so naturally people are asking "What is Market America?" Is it a scam, pyramid scheme or a good business to become involved with. Well, lets look at some of the facts about this growing company.
Market America- A Quick History
Market America was started in 1992 by JR Riddinger, a former rep of Amway. He had a vision to build a company that had a mall without walls where customers could buy anything they wanted. (This was before the internet gained popularity.) Market America has since grown to become that exact vision.
What Is Market Americas Product Line
In the beginning Market America had a few trinkets to offer. But the exclusive lines Market America carries has expanded to include make-up, nutrition lines, jewelry, auto care products, home cleaning products and many more. These are exclusive Market America brands your customers can't find anywhere else so they have to come to you to get them.
On top of the exclusive brands Market America has reached its vision of a mall without walls by partnering up with huge name brand stores like Nike, Disney, Kohls, Apple, walmart and thousands of others. As a rep you receive what is known as a MarketAmerica.com portal. A rep can send customers to their portal where the customer can not only buy Market America products but choose from these thousands of name brand stores also.
When the customer clicks on a store they want to shop (like walmart) they are taken to that companies website. The difference is that anything that customer buys is now giving commission points to the Market America rep who referred the customer to their MarketAmerica.com portal.
The Commission And Business Structure
Market America is a classic MLM structure. While there are great products to offer the real money is made when you grow your organization. This means that you need to recruit other people into the business to earn significant income. As you recruit more reps and they sell more you get a cut of all the sales made in your organization. The MarketAmerica.com portal is a great idea and gives your customer a lot to choose from but the commission points you receive for name brand sales is pretty small. The bigger commission points are on the Market America branded products which you are required to order a specific amount of every month.
Can MarketAmerica.com Work For You?
Market America is definitely NOT a scam. It has quality products for customers to choose from and has name brand stores that would never be involved with a scam and risk their good name.
What you really have to ask yourself is "Can this business work for me?" What I mean by that is ask questions like:
"Do I really want to be asking my family and friends to buy product from me?"
"Do I really want to invite my warm market to hotel meetings and presentations all the time?"
"Do I want to be setting up home product show to invite family and friends to so they can buy my product?"
"Do I have a way of producing new leads who are ACTUALLY interested in my business and products whether it be a traditional method of advertising or an online method?"
Make sure you find a way to produce new leads on a daily basis or your business will never grow to the level you need it to.
