Herbalife Scam, Read Review for The Truth About Herbalife

By Mathew S. Robar

Herbalife is now over a billion dollar company represented in over 65 countries. This review will take a look at the business opportunity available.

Herbalife was founded in 1980 by Mark Hughes who subsequently died several years later at the age of 44. They now have over 1.5 million distributors worldwide.

As far as the business structure is concerned, it is a Multi Level Marketing structure. Once your distributor costs are paid, you can begin recruiting people underneath you and throwing parties, many times for your friends and family.

Not a bad start up cost, but its time to get the facts on the compensation. 85% of Herbalife's wealth comes from 1% of the distributors. That would mean that the other 99% of the 1.5 million distributors are fighting to make up that 15%.

In Herbalife as with many other MLM companies, you will see a mass exodus of distributors with the first 90 days.

Now the products that Herbalife represents are high quality, but they are typically about 30% more expensive than a similar product at the local GNC.

To wrap up, Herbalife is legitimate. That fact aside, the vast majority of people who become distributors do not make money.

It is my contention that you need 3 things to be successful. A compensation plan designed to benefit you right away, a mentor based program and a belief in the product.

Good Luck - 15431
