Frutavida

Huhuhu ... maafkan aku sebab aku pun nak tumpang sekali dalam bab MLM ni. Minggu lepas aku baru join MLM dari USA, Frutavida namanya. Productnya adalah supplement tambahan dalam bentuk cecair diperbuat dari 3 bahan tumbuhan dari hutan Amazon.

So akan launch di malaysia pada bulan depan .. sekarang ni tak sampai 100 orang pun ahli dari malaysia yang join. Kira aku ni antara yang terawal lah. Lepas launch kat Malaysia, akan berkembang ke singapore, indonesia, brunei dan seluruh asia pasifik. Kilang nya pun dah ada dibuka di ampang. Aku baru je dapat produk tu hari jumaat lepas. Cuma ambik masa 3 hari je sampai ke rumah.

Pembayaran hanya melalui kad kredit atau debit card. Kalau takde aku boleh uruskan guna credit card aku. Pelan dia memang best sebab perlukan 2 referral je untuk pulang modal balik. Modal dia RM193 + dapat sebotol frutavida tu.

Minat??? .. Kalau minat boleh try klik link kat signature aku tu atau email aku kat usahaone@gmail.com untuk pertanyaan lanjut.

Terima kasih bebanyak sebab baca post aku

Overview
In a typical multi-level marketing or network marketing arrangement, individuals associate with a parent company as an independent contractor or franchisee and are compensated based on their sales of products or service, as well as the sales achieved by those they bring into the business. This is like many franchise companies where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager.

In a legitimate MLM company, commissions are earned only on sales of the company's products or services. No money may be earned from recruiting alone ("sign-up fees"). One must analyze the compensation plan to determine whether participants are paid from actual sales to customers and not from money received from new recruits. If participants are paid primarily from money received from new recruits, then the company is an illegal pyramid or Ponzi scheme.

Some less legitimate companies produce revenues primarily by attracting new participants with the hope of reward and selling them products or services of dubious value at inflated prices, as opposed to selling products or services consumers would purchase at the given price without regard to the opportunity attached. One must evaluate the products or services and determine if a significant percentage of consumers would continue to purchase them if the participants do not make money from the underlying opportunity. If the products or services have dubious value or if the participants must purchase excessive quantities without reasonable intent to use or resell said items, then the company is likely a thinly veiled illegal pyramid scheme.

Multi-level marketing has a recognized image problem due to the fact that it is often difficult to distinguish legitimate MLMs from illegal scams such as pyramid or Ponzi schemes. MLM businesses operate legitimately in the United States in all 50 states and in more than 100 other countries, and new businesses may use terms like "affiliate marketing" or "home-based business franchising". However, many pyramid schemes try to present themselves as legitimate MLM businesses.

Compensation plans
Companies have devised various MLM compensation plans over the decades.

*        Unilevel or Stairstep Breakaway plans are the oldest and most popular. They feature two                 types of distributors -- managers and non-managers -- and three types of pay:

*        Baseshop overrides are overrides of managers from their subordinate non-managers,                 collectively called a baseshop. This is the same as any other sales organisation.
*        Generational overrides are overrides of managers from the baseshop of managers who                 were previously their subordinate. Most plans compensate at least three generations of                 such managers.
*        Executive bonuses are commissions for managers who exceed a sales quota. For ex                ample, 2% of the total company sales revenue may go to a bonus pool that is shared                 monthly pro rata to managers who exceed $10,000 in that month.

*        Matrix Plans limit the width of each level in a distributor's group, forcing strong distribu                tors to pile ("spillover") their recruits over people who did not sponsor them.
*        Binary plans limit the width of each level to two legs. Commissions are based on                         "cycles," where a distributor is paid a fixed amount whenever both legs achieve a certain                 number of sales units each. Commissions are paid incrementally when the sales volume                 in each leg matches.
*        Elevator or Matrix schemes feature a game board or a list on which each distributor pays                 in one or more product units to participate. When a certain number of units have been                 paid in, the structure splits and the earlier participant receives consideration. The Matrix                 scheme article discusses the legality of this plan. You must do your own research as with                 any other investment.

Criticism of MLM
The FTC issued a decision, In re. Amway Corp. in 1979, which indicated that multi-level marketing was not illegal. In this case Amway was however found guilty of price-fixing (by requiring "independent" distributors to sell at the same price) and making exaggerated income claims.

Amway has been a target for critics because some high-level Independent Business Owners (IBOs) have setup separate companies for selling instructional and motivational materials to Amway IBOs. In some cases this generates more revenue for them than their Amway distributorships.

Fraudulent MLM schemes can usually be identified by high entrance fees or requirements to purchase expensive inventories. They often collapse quickly when the merchandise cannot be resold, leaving all but those at the top of the pyramid with financial losses.

The Federal Trade Commission advises that multi-level marketing organizations with greater incentives for recruitment than product sales are to be viewed skeptically. In April 2006, it proposed a Business Opportunity Rule intended to require all sellers of business opportunities梚ncluding MLMs梩o provide enough information to enable prospective buyers to make an informed decision about their probability of earning money. FTC trade regulation rules usually take 1-1/2 to 3 years before a final rule is established.

Stairstep Breakaway Plan

Stairstep breakaway plan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Stairstep Breakaway plan)
Jump to: navigation, search

Stairstep Breakaway refers to Multi-level marketing compensation plans featuring two types of distributors: managers and non-managers. Stairstep Breakaway is the oldest and most common type of compensation plan. plan

No matter what use term the company uses to call their sales managers: 'executive', 'platinum' or 'Regional Vice President', upon achieving a certain performance criteria, a distributor becomes a manager and "breaks away" from his or her original manager. The original manager loses his or her managerial overrides and, instead, receives a percentage override from the sales of the entire breakaway organisation.


To see how a stairstep breakaway plan works, let us examine an actual compensation plan. Forever Living Products (FLP) pays 32% of their SRP (Suggested Retail Price) (or 45.76% of their average wholesale price) to the hierarchy of distributors.

Stairstep Breakaway Plan

According to Alfred White, senior management consultant of Hamilton, La Ronde & Associates, Inc., the chief advantage of stairstep breakaway plans is that it has a good track record, is easy to modify, is accepted by regulatory agencies, and is driven by volume and performance.

*        The oldest and largest companies, like Amway and Tupperware use this compensation                 model.
*        Inserting and removing ranks, such as supervisors, assistant managers or regional manag                ers and national managers, is very easy to do.
*        Changing percentages is very easy to do. Such changes may reward more distributors or                 may reward the fewer higher-level distributors.
        The chief disadvantage of stairstep breakaway plans is the tendency for inventory load                ing. Unless the company aggressively monitors them, distributors will tend to coach their
subordinate distributors to amass inventory to gain rank.

The Binary

The Binary
The Binary plan is an organizational plan used by Multi-level marketing (MLM) organizations wherein new organization members are introduced into a Binary Tree structure, or a left and a right subtree.

A simple example binary tree
Normally, one subtree is referred to as a Power Leg while the second subtree is a Profit Leg.

The Power Leg structure has automatic placement of new members, even by members previously enrolled, or ancestors, to the current member. Since any new members must be placed below their enrolling member, they naturally must fall to the lowest available leaf node of the Binary Tree. Order of placement may be any of Preorder, Inorder or Postorder as determined by either the organization or the enrolling member's nearest ancestor.

The Profit Leg of the Binary Tree normally contains those new members who are personally enrolled by the member.

Some members below any node on the tree are automatically placed by a member's ancestor, while other subordinate members are placed at a specific location in the tree by the member himself.

Compensation in a Binary plan is based upon a formula dependent upon a certain value of sales in the Power Leg matching up with a certain value of sales in the Profit Leg.

A Pyramid Scheme

A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered. Pyramid schemes have existed for at least a century. Matrix schemes use the same fraudulent non-sustainable system as a pyramid; here, the victims pay to join a waiting list for a desirable product which only a fraction of them can ever receive.

There are other commercial models using cross-selling such as multi-level marketing (MLM) or party planning which are legal and sustainable, although there is a significant grey area in many cases. Most pyramid schemes take advantage of confusion between genuine businesses and complicated but convincing moneymaking scams. The essential idea behind each scam is that the individual makes only one payment, but is promised to somehow receive exponential benefits from other people as a reward. A common example might be an offer that, for a fee, allows the victim to sell the same offer to other people. Each sale includes a fee to the original seller.

Clearly, the fundamental flaw is that there is no end benefit; the money simply travels up the chain, and only the originator (or at best a very few) wins in swindling his followers. Of course,
the people in the worst situation are the ones at the bottom of the pyramid: those who subscribed to the plan, but were not able to recruit any followers themselves. To embellish the act, most such scams will have fake referrals, testimonials, and information.

Although pyramid schemes have been declared illegal in many countries, they still persist in various forms, nowadays usually by having a cover business, a product or service.

Identifying features

The distinguishing feature of these schemes is the fact that the product being sold has little to no intrinsic value of its own or is sold at a price out of line with its fair market value. Examples include "products" such as brochures, cassette tapes or systems which merely explain to the purchaser how to enroll new members, or the purchasing of name and address lists of future prospects. The costs for these "products" can range up into the hundreds or thousands of dollars. A common Internet version involves the sale of documents entitled "How to make $1 million on the Internet" and the like. Another example is a product (such as a dial-up modem purportedly
using higher speed and/or using Voice over IP) sold at higher than ordinary retail price for the same or similar products elsewhere. The result is that only a person enrolled in the scheme would buy it and the only way to make money is to recruit more and more people below that person also paying more than they should. This extra amount paid for the product is then used to fund the pyramid scheme. In effect, the scheme ends up paying for new recruits through their overpriced purchases rather than an initial "signup" fee.

The key identifiers of a pyramid scheme are:
*        A highly excited sales pitch (sometimes including props and/or promos).
*        Little to no information offered about the company unless an investor purchases the                 products and becomes a participant.
*        Vaguely phrased promises of limitless income potential.
*        No product, or a product being sold at a price ridiculously in excess of its real market                 value. As with the company, the product is vaguely described.
*        An income stream that chiefly depends on the commissions earned by enrolling new                 members or the purchase by members of products for their own use rather than sales to                 customers who are not participants in the scheme.
*        A tendency for only the early investors/joiners to make any real income.
*        Assurances that it is perfectly legal to participate.


The key distinction between these schemes and legitimate MLM businesses is that in the latter cases a meaningful income can be earned solely from the sales of the associated product or service to customers who are not themselves enrolled in the scheme. While some of these MLM businesses also offer commissions from recruiting new members, this is not essential to successful operation of the business by any individual member. Nor does the absence of payment for recruiting mean that an MLM is not a cover for a pyramid scheme. The distinguishing characteristic is whether the money in the scheme comes primarily from the participants themselves (pyramid scheme) or from sales of products or services to customers who aren't participants in the scheme (legitimate MLM).

The people on the bottom level of the pyramid, no matter how shallow or deep it goes will always lose their money. It is easy to see that the number in the bottom level of the pyramid always exceeds the total of all those in the levels above no matter how many levels there are. If each level must recruit 6 more below them, the ratio of losers to winners is close to 5 to 1 - ~84% of all investors will lose their money. The pyramid in reality would not be perfectly balanced and some members might be able to partially fill their number of recruits, but the same principles apply.

Many pyramids are more sophisticated than the simple model. These recognize that recruiting a large number of others into a scheme can be difficult so a seemingly simpler model is used. In this model each person must recruit two others, but the ease of achieving this is offset because the depth required to recoup any money also increases. The scheme requires a person to recruit two others, who must each recruit two others, who must each recruit two others.

The 8-ball model contains a total of 15 members
Prior instances of this scam have been called the "Plane Game" and the four tiers labeled as "captain", "co-pilot", "crew", and "passenger" to denote a person's level. Another instance was called the "Original Dinner Party" which labeled the tiers as "dessert", "main course", "side salad", and "entree". A person on the "dessert" course is the one at the top of the tree. Another
variant "Treasure Traders" variously used gemology terms such as "polishers", "stone cutters" etc. or gems "rubies", "sapphires" etc.

Such schemes may try to downplay their pyramid nature by referring to themselves as "gifting circles" with money being "gifted". Popular scams such as the "Women Empowering Women" do exactly this. Joiners may even be told that "gifting" is a way to skirt around tax laws.

Whichever euphemism is used, there are 15 total people in four tiers (1 + 2 + 4 + 8) in the scheme - the person at the top of this tree is the "captain", the two below are "co-pilots", the four below are "crew" and the bottom eight joiners are the "passengers".

The eight passengers must each pay (or "gift") a sum (e.g. $1000) to join the scheme. This sum (e.g. $8000) goes to the captain who leaves, with everyone remaining moving up one tier. There are now two new captains so the group splits in two with each group requiring eight new passengers. A person who joins the scheme as a passenger will not see a return until they exit the scheme as a captain. This requires that 14 others have been persuaded to join underneath them.

As such, the bottom 3 tiers of the pyramid always lose their money when the scheme finally collapses. Consider a pyramid consisting of tiers with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 members. The highlighted section corresponds to the previous diagram.

No matter how large the model becomes before collapse, approximately 88% of all people will lose

If the scheme collapses at this point, only those in the 1, 2, 4 and 8 got out with a return. The remainder in the 16, 32, and 64 tier lose everything. 112 out of the total 127 members or 88% lost all of their money.

The figures also hide the fact that the confidence trickster would make the lion's share of the money. They would do this by filling the first 3 tiers (with 1, 2, & 4 people) using phony names ensuring they get the first 7 payouts at 8 times the buy-in sum without paying a single penny themselves. So if the buy-in were $1000, they would receive $56,000, paid for by the first 56 investors. They would continue to buy in underneath the real investors, and promote and prolong the scheme for as long as possible to allow them to skim even more from it before the collapse.

In early 2006 Ireland was hit by a wave of schemes with major activity in Cork and Galway. Participants were asked to contribute

Comparison with Multi-Level Marketing

Comparison with Multi-Level Marketing
Examples of successful MLM businesses are Avon Products, Mannatech, Amway/Quixtar (sellers of health and beauty products), Tupperware, World Financial Group, ACN Inc., Mary Kay Cosmetics, and Herbalife (health and wellness products).

These businesses sell sample cases of their products to newly recruited salespersons, and will offer bonuses to members who recruit new salespersons. (These commissions are based on the sale of products, not from an enrollment fee.) These are similarities to pyramid schemes and may lead to the same negative social effects, but these companies consider themselves legal businesses because the recruited staff may receive income solely from the sale of the products of the company, without ever recruiting new salespersons. In reality they are strongly urged to not sell products but to recruit more people, making them functionally equivalent to a pyramid scheme.
