Market America Pyramid Scheme. Is Market America a Scam?

By Mathew S. Robar

Is Market America a scam or pyramid scheme? We will examine precisely this in the following review.

So by now, you have no doubt heard of the growing company that is Market America. Market America was founded in 1992 by James Ridinger, formerly of Amway. Their Corporate headquarters are located in Greensboro, NC.

Market America has also made famous the ability to own a franchise without all the hassles. They call it the "unfranchise."

What Market America does essentially is act as a broker. They find a niche and then contract manufactures to produce products to fill that niche.

Once the product is ready, Market America will leverage their nationwide sales force to bring the product to market. Pretty cool idea actually.

As for the business structure, it is a network marketing opportunity. Each unfranchise owner running their own independent business and downline.

You would build your business the normal network marketing way, by building a downline of people underneath you. You also have to think about bv in their comission structure.

The BV system works like a point system. Say for every 100 dollars spent, you get 80 BV. Once your BV gets to a certain level, you get paid.

The normal network marketing stigma's still apply. You will most ikely be asked to recruit your family and friends and purchase products.

If this is the type of business structure you see yourself in, then Market America may be a good fit.

So is Market America Legitimate? Yes, they are a legitimate network marketing company.

It is not up to you to decide if you would like to work inside of that structure.

Have fun and good luck!
