Can't people who become successful simply runs their businesses honestly, with self respect to the hard working members? I really do not understand. At the end, they lose it all. Too bad.

Why do folks on here believe it is professional to place links in places it is not warranted? This thread isn't about that. That is the kind of thing which gives MLM a bad name to those not in the know.

I have always said Empower Network was a scam, A true pyramid scheme. For the life of me I never understood how the so-called" leaders of this industry got involved with EN. Unless of course they did know that, and wanted to cash in while the gettin was good! I hope decent companies out there will not take them on in any role within the company for the sake of their reputation.

What I didn't like about EN was the way they'd treat you like garbage if you didn't go "all in" with their endless levels.

All I was there for was the blog, and in hindsight, my own self-hosted blog did just as well.

Wood may be off his nut, but he knew how to create cash out of thin air.

Always sad to see other businesses go under, however it happens, and thats business I guess. I did join Empower Network 2 years ago, but didn't really persue it. I wish the Owners, and anyone that lost money all the best in the future.

You don’t own your blog at the Empower Network. You are adding content to their site. Honestly, it’s like renting a house and fixing it up for free and letting the landlord benefit from your hard work.

The guys who own the site, David Wood and David Sharp…they are the “landlords” and are profiting from your work.

But back to your content (what you write)…What if you end your subscription? You lose what you’ve done and Empower profits from it for many years to come. Or the site could go down.

The Company

Empower Network was launched in November 2011 with a suite number and street address in the US state of Florida on the company website. Heading up Empower Network are founders David Wood (CEO) and David Sharpe (President).

In mid 2011 (an affiliate driven MLM lead generation opportunity)

Sharpe was also in MLSP at the time and this is apparently where the two met. In mid 2011 Wood held a $2997 “event” in Costa Rica (where he lives) which Sharpe attended.

Although not officially referred to as such, this appears to be have been somewhat of a founders meeting and laid foundation for Empower Network, with the company launching just months later that same year.

Update 6th December 2013 – In December 2013 Empower Network appointed Jonathan Cronstedt as CEO, with former CEO David Wood being assigned the role of Chairman.


Cronstedt appears to have more of an affiliate marketing background than MLM, having been previously involved in Digital Marketer (2013, e-learning), Kajabi (2012, digital publishing), Affiliate Awesomeness (2012, consulting), the Glazer-Kennedy Insiders Circle (2011, training and coaching), Traffic Geyser (2009, website traffic generation). Prior to that Cronstedt was employed in the finance sector (mortgages).


Inner Circle
Empower Your Life
Costa Rica Mastermind Intensive Video Series Commissions

With no monthly membership fee attached to the Costa Rica video series, this equates to a simple $500 commission paid out per sale of the series.

Commissions on the sale of the video series follow the exact same perpetual 1-up style that the Blogging System and Inner Circle commissions are paid on.

First an affiliate must either buy the series themselves or sell it to a non-affiliate to qualify, and from there their second, fourth, sixth and every fifth sale thereafter it passed to their upline.

Joining Empower Network

Membership to Empower Network as an affiliate is $19 a month.

Conclusion

Out of the three tiers that make up the Empower Network compensation plan, the video series would appear to be the most viable in terms of sales to non-affiliates.

It’s a product that can’t be used to market the income opportunity directly, and relies on those purchasing it to actually feel there’s value in the series itself (assuming of course that affiliate’s aren’t just buying it to qualify themselves to earn $500 commissions by then trying to sell it to others).

According to Empower Network’s Earnings Disclosure statement however, over the last 30 calendar days (14th November to the 14th December 2012), 87% of their members made $499 or less.

With commissions for the video series coming in at $500, this means that by and large the overwhelming majority of commissions being paid out in Empower Network are coming from the Blogging System and Inner Circle tiers.

Both of these tiers can be stacked and they have ongoing monthly payments, which quite obviously, according to the Earnings Disclosure, appears to be a more attractive proposition for Empower Network’s affiliates.

Before we continue, let’s get the obvious out of the way first. It’s entirely possible to join Empower Network, pay your $19 affiliate fee, $25 for blogging commissions and $100 for inner circle commissions – and earn money solely by signing recruited affiliates up to these two tiers.

They pay their monthly fees and you continue to get paid. If they wish to earn anything then they have to recruit new affiliates and sign them on.

Due to the 5th sales being passed up company wide, money then trickles its way up. How fast depends on how wide the base of your downline is. As long as those at the bottom continue to recruit new affiliates and sign them up at the $25 and $100 tiers (or ideally both) though, sales will continue to trickle up.

For those who got in early with downlines in the thousands and the fact that everybody’s paying monthly membership fees, it’s then easy to work out where commissions of thousands of dollars are coming from.
