Has anyone on Six Pack had any experience with Live Pure? This is a company that sells natural health products, but also provides business opportunities for making money. I've been approached about it, but I am a skeptic at heart where these things are concerned. I would appreciate any info that any of you might have.

Run away as fast as you can from all pyramid schemes. They'll tell you it's not a pyramid scheme. It's a pyramid scheme.

I think you should check out my GK program first...

Why don't you give me a half the money you are going to spend on your initial inventory, I will kick you in the gonads thus making you a market leader gonad kicker. You kick 10 people in the nads and collect $200 apiece from them. Once you get to 10 you bring me half the money and I will make you a senior market leader. You will have made $1000 grand and now have 10 people kicking nads under you that will soon bring you $10 grand... You keep bringing me my half and I will keep promoting you... Hell, with a little testicular fortitude, you can make enough Jack to buy your own GNC franchise if you want supplements.

I just need a few hundred bucks and an opportunity to kick you in the balls.

ETA.. My GK program is not a pyramid scheme.

Let me tell you about Team National.*** General rule of thumb - legitimate business don't beat down your door trying to throw money at you. Hard and fast rule; NEVER pay someone for the opportunity to get in on anything like that. My current Team National offer when approached is that if they pay my entry fee, I'll put every penny I make/save in a separate account and reimburse them when I get that fee covered. You should offer that up to the person trying to seperate you from your money...

Edited to add: thing I hate most about these things is they typically prey on people who really need more income. First thing they do; take money from them!

Nope. That's why I'm asking if anyone here has any experience at all with the company. I have a family member who approached me about it. My gut feeling is to avoid it. I was never involved with Amway, but received the same vibe from this as from Amway.

Here is their Income Disclosure Statement: http://images.livepure.com/web/pdf/Income-Disclosure-Statement-2017.pdf

After staring at their numbers, about 10% of their employees actually earn a decent wage. Like all MLMs, run the hell away.

It's the same thing as Amway.

Rule of thumb: If part of your business is to recruit other people to do the same thing as you, it is a pyramid scheme. Why would you dilute your market with extra people selling the exact same thing unless the people above make money just from having more people?

Pyramid products (supplements in this instance) are just overpriced products that are overpriced because they have to pay all these other people in the pyramid to peddle them, buy Pink cars for the upper level reps, pay upper level reps way to pep rally's in Vegas, etc. The products themselves may not be bad but I guarantee you there's something else out there you can buy on the market that's close to or identical to it that costs a lot less. I've pissed off many by saying Hell NO to their "can't miss" product peddling only to ask them or find out 3 months later they are no longer doing it. The latest one I've been "offered" is some kind of energizing coffee that is the best thing since cold beer and sliced bread. It gives you energy, increases mental alertness, blah blah blah. If this is a family member, politely say no thank you. If not say Hell No, I cherish our friendship and don't want to **** it up by doing this.

They've been going around my new neighborhood and conveniently someone's car was broken into and caught on camera the same week.
Nothing was stolen though. Coincidence ?

Bit of money on these things (not this particular one, but mlm’s). Key is to get in early and have a bunch of folks under you. If your closer to the bottom, won’t make anything. If your a salesman type and like to hustle, you may do ok. Your not gonna sit back, do nothing, and get rich.

That being said, I wouldn’t do it. These things have such a negative reputation, no one wants to do it. Just look at the reply’s in this thread.

Pretty much this. To have any chance of making money with these things, you have to be first in a new market and immediately recruit a lot of people under you. Also, you have to be willing to sacrifice all of your friend's opinions of you, because you only have so many people who will put up with you constantly trying to sell them something.

I think something like 5% of sales people in your average MLM clear $1000/month, and most get significantly less. The rich lifestyle they lure you into only works out for a fraction of a percentage of their people.

These schemes ask you to monetize your friendships.

I'd rather keep my friends than take their money.

That's about what it comes to.

Half the women in my neighborhood sell Rodan and Fields, Younique, Thrive, or Advocare. The all love being "entrepreneurs". My across the street neighbor "owns her third business" since moving in just two years ago.

On the other hand, Barbie Bassett is a six figure earner with Rodan and Fields. So hey... if you have the built in name recognition that a decades long career as a beloved local TV icon brings with it, then go for it.

I got approached by some good friends in a casual conversation a 2 weekends ago about LifeVantage drink packets. "It's changed their lives...better memory, more energy, great non-med substitute for ADHD, blah...blah...blah." I agreed to take a few packets to mix with my water. Results: every flavor tastes like crap and I still feel the same. I never asked about price. I'm hoping their advance just dies before our friendship gets tested. LifeVantage is like an even more horrible version of my wife's crystal light packets.

Speaking of Advocare, a lady in my office has been through at least 5 cleanses this year already and her *** isn't any narrower.

As far as Vivant security goes, we've had it for about a decade. They have a typical door-to-door security sales pitch. That's how I got ADT initially. I have a ton of security and "smart" stuff in my home. It's been a great service and is actually cheaper than competitors that have tried to sway us in their direction.

Their story is always the same.... "Do you know Mr. Fishwater99 down the street? He just bought our deluxe system" "I'm sure you're aware of the recent increase in criminal activity in your neighborhood"

No *******- I don't know my neighbor down the street, don't care what you suckered him into, and haven't heard of any break-ins in our neighborhood in the last 5 years.

Only half selling sounds pretty good to me.

On the other hand, before everybody got in on them, I think if somebody a woman liked was asking them to come to a "show" (or host one), there was some pressure felt to come and support them. Now that everybody is doing it, it makes it easy to just say no to everything because it would be hundreds of dollars a month (or week?) rather than a few hundred dollars a year.

Ha, Invigaron for all those Its Always Sunny fans.

This Live Pure is just a reverse funnel system. Definitely not a MLM Pyramid Scheme.***
