When is the best time to join?

[duality32]

If you were to find a program that is still in the prelaunch phase with a good product and support would it pay to see it go for awhile or get into it while they are still in the opening phase? This program I got into recently, me being on the 11th level from the top, is doing fairly well.
But I want to know your input about getting into something in the prelaunch phase

[artwebster]

I have never understood this 'prelaunch' business - surely, if you can join - it is launched?

I would imagine that getting into a programme at the 11th level would be good if there were only two people on each level but if the second level had 100 people it might not be quite so impressive.

But now there is over 200 levels and most of them are under me. So wouldnt that be a good place to be? Also, it was a prelaunch. Official launch is in July of this year.

When you say "levels" is this an MLM thing?

I have mixed feelings, but it comes down to this...

You say the program "is doing fairly well", but until it actually launches it's not doing anything but getting people to sign up.

Sounds fishy, perhaps a matrix, or binary-dual-level-get-in-early-to-grab-your-spot-or-lose-out-big-time type of plan.

I may be wrong, but based on the meager mental sketch I have of it, I would run the other way and look at more legitimate means of earning money.

For the sake of argument, let's say it's legitimate. I would wait and give them a few weeks to get over any problems that will come up during launch. If it's on the up and up you won't lose anything by waiting.

All the best,
Michael

Its actually a hybrid binary. And i believe this is a GREAT way to make money. And it's legit. And people love the product.

[artwebster]

Hybrid binary?

This sounds like just the sort of phraseology designed to make the hum-drum sound cool.

I would imagine that while the hybrid binary is in what they want to call the prelaunch phase (which should really be called the lead capture phase since that is what it is doing) there will be hundreds signing up just to find out what it is all about and what the actual cost will be. Until all those people under you decide to join and pay, they are only the matrix owners mailing list.

This sounds like a MLM setup to me. Personally, if this were the case, I'd been inclined to steer clear. If you look at the overall history of MLM, you'll discover that very few members (possibly 5%) actually make any consistent money, even without costing in their time or monetary input.

Hybrid binary is often a coded reference to pyramid scheme. I hope I'm wrong, but...

~Michael

p.s. What is the product? How do you actually make money? Can the person below you pass you up and/or make more?

Well I dont know about your coded reference for the pyramid scheme. Since pyramids are illegal and we have several law enforcement and real estate agents on our team. The product it weight loss and well being. A revolutionary product that part of it you can just sprinkle on your food. It has had alot of success and alot of people return to buy more.
And to answer your question, yes people below me can make more money than me. One of my team members, Tiffany, has made more money than I have. She is really great at this.

Now I am confused.

Obviously Tiffany has joined so this particular offer is no longer in prelaunch - so - if you joined it in prelaunch and you can see the sort of response and earnings people are getting why can't you answer your own question?

Well actual launch is July of this year. But we can sign up and buy and sell stuff now. So it is still prelaunch. I dont know what confusion you have, but i hope this helped you out

[Mr McDonald]

never had any good experiences with MLM typr programs be very wary.

[venomous2000]

Defiantly get into something that is about to prelaunch. This way you get ranked top of Google (you will have to write a lot of articles to keep that spot) and you will earn tons of commission.

If you look at the statistics for startups, you'll find about the same percentage of success - most go belly up within a year. Except for the Ponzi schemes, many MLM's practice good business ethics.

Prelaunch is when you're just building up hype and getting people excited about the first day that the product will be available. What this MLM is doing is normally referred to as a soft launch. It has clearly already launched because people can buy the products. They want to gather some testimonials and a nice proven track record before they shovel all of their money into promoting it properly. Although, I don't really know how that works in this case because this is MLM.

And I agree with artwebster, you should be able to answer your own question given the successes of both your upline and one of your downlines (I read about your upline in another thread you posted a week or so ago). To be honest, it sounds like you're developing a case of analysis paralysis. Don't over analyze the situation. You know that successful people are getting behind this so it seems you're in the right place to do something good for yourself - keyword being "do". You need to start putting the pedal to the metal.
