Although you may be recently learning of Forever Living, this is actually a 30-year-old company with networks in more than 145 countries. While there are a ton of health product MLM opportunities available, this one creates its existence around the aloe vera plant, making it rather unique.
Who They Are
The first thing to learn about Forever Living is that although they do produce a quality product, it is more expensive than what you will find in most health stores selling similar items. That being said, the product list they offer is extensive.
• Drinks – With 13 different types of drinks available, there is bound to be something to catch the eye of even the fussiest person. Still, $42 for an energy drink is a little extreme.
• Nutrition – They offer a ton of vitamins and probiotics.
• Weight Management – Everything from weight loss shakes to bars to supplements is available.
• Cosmetics – Eyes, lips and face are covered in this category.
• Personal Care – Skin care, hair products, laundry detergent, bath salts, soap, hand sanitizers, massage lotion, tooth gel, deodorant and more are available to sell.
• Bee Products – Another thing that makes them unique are the bee products they carry that you won’t find elsewhere.
How it Works
When you first explore this MLM opportunity, you learn that you get free samples as part of your training, which is attractive, since they are great products. While you would assume that these samples are all you need to get started after your training, they’re not. When you dig a little deeper, you learn that it costs $372 to obtain products to become a distributer. Then, you don’t even qualify for commission unless you place a minimum purchase order. This is probably why so many people label Forever Living as a scam. Not to mention, they advertise that there is the potential for a significant amount of growth, but they don’t explain how.
The Verdict
So, can you make money with a Forever Living home business? Quite honestly, if you are in a position where you know a lot of people that will use these products, you can. This is a great line. Everyone is choosing more natural products that are safe for them and the environment. Despite that these items are a little more costly, there are many people who would appreciate the quality and remain faithful.
The problem is having to come up with $372 to get started. That is a lot of money! Plus, you have to deal with the pressure of making sure your order is large enough to even get paid on. For the right person, this could be a great opportunity, but most will certainly struggle to see a return on their investment.
