Dear SHMC Members,
I just got another member asking me this question again today, "Is SHMC an illegal pyramid scheme?".
But after she called me on the hotline, I answered her questions and everything is fine.
Ladies & Gentlemen, I must have answered this question 2,000,000 times at least in my almost 10 years doing MLM(Multi-level marketing) with Nuskin Enterprises since year 2000 when Singapore legalized Multi-Level Marketing or Network Marketing or what is commonly referred to as Direct Selling.
However I am not surprised still, when people still ask me this question now after 9 years of legalized MLM/Direct Selling in Singapore.
According to Singapore and International Direct Selling laws, it defines clearly what is a pyramid scheme and the 4 clear characteristics to look out for in an illegal pyramid scheme.
1) There is usually no product. You are just paying money to join a scheme to make more money from recruiting others, like a money game. First appearing in Russia, it's known as a PONZI scheme. Be aware if they say you can make money without working or guarantees you ridiculously high rates of return on your investment without you having to do any work.
2) If there is a product, the product or service is overly marked up. Example, you obviously can prove that the "magic healing" magnetic bedsheet is only worth S$50 to manufacture, but you are paying S$10,000 for it? It's ridiculously marked up 2000%.
3) There is no refund policy or money back guarantee. In the Consumer act in most countries, you must have at least 7 days or more 100% money guarantee to protect the consumer.
4) Usually in a pyramid scheme, the first one who joins on top makes all the money, while the people who join last will never ever be able to make more money than those on top. Example, if a company promises to pay you infinite levels of commissions, you can work out the mathematics to know that the company is paying you more than what they are making, which inevitably means they will go bankrupt and close down some day. It's just a matter of time and how long they can sustain the con.
Ok, so what makes SHMC not an illegal pyramid scheme?
1) We do have a product, which is online learning in the form of digital training videos, an online marketing website system, discussion forums, social networking platform etc. And we teach you how you can make money through blogging, affiliate marketing, Google adsense etc...even without referring anyone to SHMC.
2) Our membership fee is US$29.95 a month, and it gives you the equivalent value of over US$1000+ in online training courses etc. It's not only NOT OVERLY MARKED UP, I think it's too cheap already. I should raise the price, hahaha! Just joking.
3) We give you a 7 days money back no questions asked 100% guarantee. For Singapore, you can ask for a refund up to 60 days but subject to deductions in administrative costs.
4) In our Super Affiliate Bonus Plan, we only pay you maximum up to 9 levels in your matrix. The compression to infinity means that your commission is compressed bottom up on all inactive accounts, so that you can still maximize your 9 level matrix payout. We cannot and WILL NEVER pay you to infinite levels, because we don't want to go broke!
If you do a simple mathematical calculation, we pay out 72% of every US$1 you pay us. We only keep 28% of every US$1 we make. And that is fixed payout, so we will never OVERPAY. Just take out a calculator and count it yourself.
US$20 - 1 time payout on all new members. Company keeps US$9.95.
(US$10/month + US$1 x 9levels + 10% match x US$1 x 9 levels + 5% global pool) divided by 29.95 is around 72%. Company keeps around 28%.
So there, I hope I don't have to answer this question too many times again. This will help you tackle all the SKEPTICS out there who still think all MLM's are pyramid schemes.
But take my word for it, don't try to convince people who simply don't want to be convinced. You're wasting your time, move on to someone else. The world is big enough and full of better people who don't need convincing.
Please keep a copy of this email handy in your email inbox or drafts folder, so that you can forward it to anyone who asks you this question again.
Now, I hope you can focus 100% on sharing our wonderful business opportunity and learning club to as many of your contacts as possible.
Just do it team!
