So you heard about Success University. Lets have a look at the business side of things and what it takes to break even.
You'll need your thinking cap.
Compensation Plan – Since Success University is a network marketing company, you get compensated for referring others to the company. Once you get the ball rolling with Success University, you get paid for every 6 person cycle that forms in your downline. Success University pays you well when you can get pass the initial stage. If you don't get pass the initial stage and personally refer 6 persons, then have those 6 persons stay active and also start working hard, you will not earn any profits from the 7 month on and will be losing money from the 1st month.
Here's a typical example:
Lets say you refer 3 person at the start who join the business at $149.50 + $55.00 each (if no price changes). That earns you a fast start commission (around $19.99 per pax), but you won't qualify to earn that 6 cycle commission because you only have 3 persons in your downline. When in the 4 month you don't refer anyone, then you won't earn a commission. 5th month passes and you won't earn any commissions when someone joins, while you continue to pay the membership (your upline still earns though so long as you form part of their 6 personally enrolled members), then in the 6 month you refer 3 persons, you now qualify to earn the 6 person cycle commission, because you have a total of 6 personally enrolled members which covers the 2 months you did not enroll anyone (1 person for each month until 6 months). Your commission for the 6 person cycle is about $40+, not yet to cover your monthly membership which is about $55+. In other words, for 6 months, you would have spent $149.50 + $55 x 6= $479.50. Your commissions for referring just 3 person in the 1st 3 months then 3 person in the 6th month is $40 + (4×20) = $120 (not counting the commissions you lost when you referred no one for 2 months).
So that means you've lost $359.50. (ie 479.50 – $120)
