We will examine the opportunity to see if Arbonne is a pyramid scheme, a ponzi scheme or an outright scam.Arbonne International has been creating a lot of buzz lately.
In these recession times, we see more and more people turnign to home based businesses as a means of generating extra income.
The company itself was started in 1980 and now operates in 3 countries, the US, Canada and Australia. They also have a research facility in Switzerland.
Arbonne specializes in personal care products with an emphasis in skin care. They have also recently moved into dietary supplements.
As for the business opportunity, Arbonne is very similar to a to some of established big name MLM companies out there.
As in other MLM's, you will be required to pay a distributor fee upfront and then you build your business by recruiting people underneath you.
To those familiar with MLM companies, you will first be asked to draw upon your friends and family to try and get things up and running.
Next will come the hotel meeting and the product parties that you throw for people to get them interested in your product.
With their number aproaching 1.3 million distributors worldwide, Arbonne is not a scam. They are however a MLM which sees about 90% of their distributors leave within 90 days.
If you are ok with the above marketing methods, then Arbonne may be a good fit for you.
If you do not see yourself in the above structure, I would keep looking for another opportunity. There are a lof of legitimate ways to make money online these days. The best opportunities offer you mentorship and a compensation plan that sets you up to succeed.
Good luck, have fun out there.
