You’re a Hustler, Not a Real Entrepreneur

With MLM you don’t own a business and you have to be loyal to the company, in fact, they don’t allow you to promote any other product or conduct other businesses. You are a business partner in the sense that you will make money but you have no say in the company.

Where are you in the Game?

Multi Level Marketing is a pyramid scheme with products and the name MLM is used to mask the pyramid fact.

They will make you believe that making money online is very simple with little to no work. Ie refer only 5 people and quit your job.

It is structured that only those on the top of the pyramid make most of the money and you will also be depending on the efforts of the people that join under you to determine how much you’ll make.

Alliance in Motion Global Inc Pros Vs Cons

Pros:

• Good money if you are on top of the pyramid
• The time in business is pretty long
• Hustlers who can chase after family and friend make big money

Cons:

• You are late in the game
• Not really global. Some countries cannot join
• Primarily rely on recruitment to make money
• Depend on your downlines to determine how much you make
• You’ll have to buy the product otherwise, you won’t get compensated when you make a sale.
• There is no business, if parent company closes everything will collapse.
• Only one source of income, no where else you could make your own money.

The question Ni-Vanuatu should ask is what if the company closes? Another AFIC disaster?

How does Alliance in Motion Global Inc operates?

Apart from recruiting, members can also make money by selling their products, but the products have not been approved by Food and Drug Authority (FDA), so we must be careful and experience shows a similar scheme like Vemma was closed in 2016.

The products seem to be magical and unrealistic since they treat diseases that have no cure and a good example is using their product to cure cancer.

Some of the Alliance in motion products can be sourced from the super market but they’ll convince you that it has magical powers.

Alliance in Motion Global Pricing

Alliance in motion is not cheap.

The compensation plan is both complicated and confusing. Unlike some MLM, there are no pass ups.

Alliance in Motion Compensation Plan

The more you recruit the more you make money and it is not as easy to promote an MLM to family and friends as Alliance in Motion and other MLM companies claim.

No need to confuse yourself. Basically the formula is recruit more = make more money.

Is Alliance in Motion a Global Scam?

Alliance in Motion is not a scam and it is a company that has been online since 2005.

You can make money with Alliance in motion but keep in mind it has a success rate of less than 2% there you can fall in the 2% or the remaining 98% who fail miserably.

Alliance in motion and similar MLM companies make you believe that becoming a millionaire is very easy, in reality, you don’t own a business and if alliance in motion closes you will lose everything.

You need to create a solid business and that is where affiliate marketing come in to promote products that you believe in on your site, so .if a company you’re promoting closes, you remain in business no matter what.
