MLM Companies

Been approached by an Oolalife rep?

Yes, it’s a network marketing scheme.

It’s becoming all the rage on social media.

This one is going into the pre-launch hype stage.

From long and inspiring lifestyle photos on IG.

To vague talks of a ‘business’ and ‘opportunity’

And sadly…you’re only getting one perspective.

Is there something sinister here? Is it a scam?

In this review of Oolalife, I’ll share the deets.

Let’s begin.

Oolalife Unbiased Review

The typical MLM recruiter is purely positive.

But that isn’t me. I like critical thinking here.

This is totally unbiased. I’m not enrolling you.

Although I do advocate building a real business.

But I aint pitching anything here. Facts only.

Are we good? 🙂 Alright, let’s move on…

So….”What is Oola?” And “What is involved?”

Well, allow me to unpack the whole thing here.

Firstly…it’s an MLM for the self help industry.

The ‘product’ itself is the course & coaching.

All designed to help you change your life.

With their soft launch coming on June 7th

And the full public launch on July the 7th.

It’s based on the book ‘Oola’ about freedom.

And the funniest part of this whole thing…

Oola was named based on the word Oolala.

Dr Troy and Dr Dave

These guys are chiropractors behind Oola

After becoming self-help and freedom authors

Of their epic book, with strong reviews…

They decided to go for something bigger.

By building a global community of peeps.

Enter: Oola Global. Their new MLM gig.

Something that’s going to the moon 🚀

The Oola Platform

The platform seems so very alluring

Especially for those in existing MLMs.

Looking at the pros, it’s very attractive..

Apparently FDA compliance isn’t needed.

Paired with no needing to buy inventory.

And it’s affordable too…at just $700.

So there’s some real upside in here.

You can also become an Oola Coach too.

Being fully certified by Oola themselves. 🙃

These are typically higher-ups in the MLM.

Is This A Pyramid Scheme?

No. Oola has few pyramid scheme elements.

While it’s digital, there are physical products too.

The owners know the FTC has shutdown others.

And didn’t want to raise alarm bells for people.

So they added the physical products inside…

But I think the focus is on the digital side.

Oola Life, it appears, is here for the long haul.

As long as product sales take precedence

Over MLM recruiting tactics on Facebook.

Since that would make Oola a pyramid.

So be real careful on how you promote it. ✅

Why Are So Many People Joining?

Because of the big ticket commissions. 😉

Just kidding. But, actually….kinda not….

You see, there’s some big money to be made.

If you’re an existing life coach or MLM rep.

Oola’s Compensation Plan is very strong.

So a lot of people see the potential here.

Especially as it’s all focused on self help.

Why Is This MLM Different?

Personal development MLMs are rare.

Like many use it as a motivational tool

But so few have it as their core product.

Especially one with coaching also inside.

It’s also mostly digital, saving you a ton.

(‘Cause normal MLMs have pricey wares)

I really love that Oola is only $50/month.

So this is excellent for the self help crew.

Since people naturally want to change lives.

But hate selling pills, potions and lotions.

The ideal opportunity for the right person.

It’s also ground-floor, so timing is perfect.

Is It Worth It?

Joining Oola Life means sharing it around.

So you’ll have to dress up your social media

But like other MLMs, stay a little secretive.

Your job will still require some active selling.

Through creating a big of a ‘lifestyle’ online.

After all, you want those juicy comms… 💰

Long captions as stories on epic photos.

All the while hoping someone inboxes you.

You’ll still have the life of the MLM recruiter

But yet…you’ll focus on personal development.

Now, I don’t think this industry has much left.

Since people realize there are 100+ biz models.

That don’t require pitching to friends and family.

(Many burned friendships out there today…)

Plus the weird/awkward pitching on Facebook.

It always feel a little bit icky for some people.

Some recruits care little about these issues.

Or they simply want to use the product itself.

WIth zero ambition towards enrolling others.

But chances are that you need some moolah…

So if you’re happy to get up on the treadmill.

With that big dream still bursting inside you…

Then Oolalife is the best opportunity in 2024. 🙂

Have you seen a friend of yours posting photos of their ‘freedom’ while discussing the Law of Attraction and other new age topics?

And then you have come to wonder…”What is really going on here?”

Well, allow me to spill the beans on this entire game.

I’ll cut through the noise and share what many inside simply won’t.

What Is Wake Water Co?

The Wake Water Co company teaches millenials on how to become an ‘attraction marketer’ or ‘high ticket affiliate marketer’ on Facebook and Instagram.

To do this, you’ll need to brand yourself as ‘owning a dream business’ paired with the #dreamlife.

They teach students exactly how to do personal branding specifically for Facebook and Instagram.

More accurately, you’ll learn how to create the right stories and take the right photos that will increase your following. From there, you can, maybe…just maybe…start collecting the big bucks.

But how? Well, with the hidden ‘big ticket item’ costing you up to $10,000. 😔

A Gateway to Enagic

Wake Water Co operates as a social media doorway to Enagic, a Japanese company which sells the highly unpopular alkaline water machines.

Enagic is a network marketing company, also called Multi-Level Marketing or MLM for short.

I discuss in this article why MLMs are bad. Members of Wake Water Co will claim it isn’t an MLM, but Enagic’s own documentation states that it is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This company has been operating for 50 years, but their own marketing and technology is prehistoric. It’s for this reason that ‘training’ companies like Wake Water Co exist.

Their intention is to enrol more distributors just like yourself to continue the scheme in the long-term. If enrolments don’t continue then those in the upline will need to return to a proper day job.

Very Secretive Marketing

The approach of Wake Water Co and the numerous other basic training platforms is a very secretive way to introduce individuals to Enagic. Some have described Wake Water Co as a cult and I can see where they’re coming from.

Many of the distributors go out of their way to NOT discuss their main motives. That is – to enrol more distributors into their MLM downline.

Fortunately, in recent times, Wake Water Co have updated their website to represent the previously unclear connection to Enagic.

Yet, many of the distributors remain vague in their job description. They may use terms such as ‘digital marketing’ and ‘entrepreneurship’ but ultimately, they’re sales agents for Enagic.

Commission-Only Sales

This is one opportunity that’s based entirely on recruiting. Would that entail a pyramid scheme? I’ll let the FTC make that call as they have shutdown numerous pyramid schemes in the past such as Vemma.

One of the challenges with the business model is the constant recruiting necessary for success. This causes some distress for distributors who aren’t particularly comfortable with selling to friends and family online.

Much of the demographic within Wake Water Co are spiritual seekers who also aren’t financially secure. Even the $4,980 investment into the Kangen K8 is well out of reach, although going into debt with credit cards and loans is surprisingly encourage by some distributors.

To recover that investment, the individual must begin the same recruitment process through their social media pages. Individuals are paid commission-only from direct and in-direct sales in their downline.

And while distributors talk about owning a business, they never actually own the business.

Ultimately, Is Wake Water Co Worth It?

My advice to all individuals considering Wake Water Co and any of the other Enagic training platforms is to become fully informed. Many distributors haven’t been exposed to both sides of the coin. This is by-design to continue the success of the scheme.

Here is the 2023 US Earnings Disclosure Statement from Enagic:

Rank	# Sellers	% Sellers	Median $ Earned
1A	19,785	59.34%	$285
2A	4,900	14.70%	$580
3A	1,760	5.28%	$1,032
4A	2,262	6.78%	$1,669
5A	1,193	3.58%	$1,970
6A	2,487	7.46%	$6,617
6A2	621	1.86%	$13,866
6A2-2	201	0.60%	$24,598
6A2-3	88	0.26%	$97,544
6A2-4	27	0.08%	$228,304
6A2-5	13	0.04%	$398,539
6A2-6	7	0.02%	$1,365,579

Just… 😐 Damn. You’re going to start at 1A, assuming you even make a sale…

And the bulk of the money is being made by the big dogs up the top.

Keep in mind this does NOT account for your initial upfront or ongoing costs.

So if you were lucky enough to get to 6A which everyone aspires to (it’s only $5,710/year median) you’d first have to hand over $5,000 for the water machine + $$$ for the membership fee. 😬

And going by Enagic’s official statistics, more than half these people invested $4,000 USD to make a measly $285 back…

Kinda crazy.

Wake Water Co will be worth it to you if you can:

1. Really dress up your social media profiles
2. Create inspiring stories about ‘freedom’
3. Pretend to have become quickly successful
4. Talk about your new and exciting ‘business’
5. Putting up thousands of dollars into an alkalizer
6. Deal with friends and family turning their back

These schemes can be toxic to the soul for those who aren’t really prepared.

Do your research. Keep an open mind. Read the numerous reviews of Wake Water Co.

Most importantly, look at the end game in 5 years. Is this the thing you really want to do?

Consider the world we live in today – with 100+ business models available – whether an MLM scheme is really the thing for you.

I’ll see you on a beach somewhere. 🙂

Scrolling through Facebook or Instagram, you’ve no doubt come across one of your friends boasting about the new latest, greatest opportunity.

One that can see you “retire in your 30’s” and “live the laptop lifestyle” while apparently doing good for the planet.

Or – going a step further – perhaps you’ve even experienced *that* strange DM about “you’ll be so great at this!!” despite not having chatted with that individual for years.

Welcome to the strange world of network marketing in 2024, otherwise known as MLM.

Proponents of such schemes would love to have you believe how wonderful their company is with their ‘training’ and ‘support’ for distributors.

Or how you’ll “get to finally own your own business!” and “live the life of your dreams”.

But you, my friend, know better.

You know something isn’t right.

Today I’ll be going through the top reasons why multi-level marketing schemes are bad for 99% of people.

And they’re not just bad for bank accounts. Too often, it’s the lost friendships, time, resources and stress that we can’t as accurately quantify.

Mind you, there is a 1% minority who do legitimately make some money and sing their praises.

But for the other 99% of folks out there, they simply make nothing.

So if you’re doing your due diligence, I’ve certainly got you covered.

I’m someone who got naively caught up in several MLM schemes during his 20’s.

Now older and wiser, this is the advice I wished my 20-year old self knew, and maybe, just maybe, I can save someone from a potentially long-term damaging decision.

Here are the top reasons why such MLM companies are simply bad to join (and why you should avoid them)…

1. MLMs Provide No Formalized Vetting Of Recruits

Unfortunately, any old Tom, Dick or Harry can sign up for an MLM company.

To become a distributor, you simply pay a joining fee to receive their products.

Once they arrive, you too can have the ‘priviledge’ of becoming a distributor.

Yet none of these companies actively vet their representatives for their ability to succeed.

It’s simply a case of “You look like you’re motivated” and thus, another person is enrolled.

I believe the ability to win comes down to background, salesmenship skills and the like.

In a traditional job, you’d come in for an interview and have references thoroughly checked.

In an MLM, your ‘interview’ is a sales pitch as to why you’d make “the perfect candidate…”

2. 99% of MLM Recruits End Up Losing Money

Sadly, most recruits do lose money on the ‘opportunity’ side of the MLM company.

Mind you, they still have a real product which makes the MLM unquestionably legal.

Now, most new recruits join with one motive: To make some additional cashflow.

Yet the work involved is severely unstated, as is the sheer difficulty in recruiting.

With many new distributors simply quitting within their first year out of frustration.

3. Most Companies Have a Cult-Like Feel

Many network marketing companies are accused of being modern-day cults.

After all, there is a cult-leader (often the company founder) with their legion of followers.

Nothing is more evident than the multi-day live events for each large company.

And unlike traditional sales roles, distributors are expected to pay the company.

Also, these distributors are often given a ‘set way of doing things’ to recruit others in.

While often being prohibited towards talking negatively about “the family”.

4. Recruits Are Expected To Do The Hard Sell

Network marketing companies often tout their superior products to their representatives.

However, it’s the representatives themselves who often have to do the hard sell.

This includes awkwardly posting photos on social media spruiking said products.

Or constantly following up through strange messages on Facebook and Instagram

And should they not be able to recruit an individual, they “didn’t work hard enough”.

5. Hiding Some of The Facts Is Routinely Practice

As a network marketing distributor, one must hide some of the facts all of the time.

Can you say that the vast majority of distributors make next to no money? Certainly not.

Can you also say that the compensation plan makes things tricky to figure out? Nope.

Can you also say that you’re making next to no money? Certainly avoid this one.

Should you get involved in one of these schemes, some hiding is certainly necessary.

6. Blocking Out Negative Friends/Family is Encouraged

Coming back to my cult-like feel, these MLM companies actively promote blocking others out.

Should your friends or family discourage you from your MLM, you’ll be asked to block them out.

After all, you “have a big dream” and these “dream stealers” are simply pulling you down right?

In actual fact, these friends and family are often like me. Awaken to the reality of MLM schemes.

This is why such schemes have the reputation of destroying friendships over such trivial pursuits.

7. MLM Reps Falsely Call Themselves ‘Entrepreneurs’

A common mistake by nieve millenials is referencing to themselves as ‘entrepreneurs’ in an MLM.

The term has become sexy in the last 5 or so years, romanticised fully by social media culture.

It’s insulting to real entrepreneurs who work so hard over many years to build real businesses.

Real entrepreneurship is a cruel, hard and tiresome road and with no guarantee of success.

Pretty photos on IG isn’t entrepreneurship. That’s posing. And inboxing friends is sales.

8. Having A Job or Career Is Considered To Be ‘Bad’

Proponents of the ‘entrepreneurial lifestyle’ also consider having a career to be a bad decision.

This is despite themselves often having a career while building their MLM as a side hustle.

Jobs provide many benefits that are overlooked by distributors including a stable income.

Not only that, but can be significantly easier paired with paid company training and travel.

While most won’t stick to their career forever, it’s a fantastic sounding board for millinenials.

9. Network Marketing Products Are Often Low Quality

Many claim “We have the best product(s) in the world!” but a quick Google reveals the opposite.

Often these products are mid-shelf at best. They are designed for a certain demographic.

In many cases, MLM products are produced in China or other lower socio-economic countries.

While at the same time, somehow claiming to have superior qualities and North American values.

This leads nieve distributors to represent products that just aren’t as superior as they claim.

10. Network Marketing Products Are Also Overpriced

Not only are the products often low quality, but they’re also quite expensive in comparison.

Their defence often is “we cut out the middle man”, otherwise known as retail distribution.

Yet the pyramid requires commissions to be paid multiple levels deep to representatives.

A large portion of a product’s ‘retail price’ is made up of active distributor commissions.

Ideally, they do aspire to not have recuits research for superior products which cost less.

11. Fresh Recruits Use ‘Fake It Till You Make It’ Mentality

Coming back to millenials, a consistent issue is the ‘Fake It Till You Make It’ mentality in MLM.

Many proclaim to be successful with regular luxury travel and expensive retail purchases.

You may have seen “My new business gives me the freedom to travel like this” which is unlikely.

Often they have a regular source of income like a job or have extensive cash reserves.

Further more, some of these distributors have…shall we say…quite generous parents?

It’s fair to state that such lifestyles perpetuated on social media often aren’t reality.

12. The #antimlm Hashtag Makes Success Even Harder

Fresh recruits in 2024 are in for a real uphill battle as the world awakens to the MLM industry.

YouTube has provided a platform for #antimlm content to go viral with many shared experiences.

When recruits attempt to recruit, it’s difficult when potential candicates search online.

YouTubers like Anna’s Analysis, Kiki Chanel and The Recovering Hunbot have millions of views

While the /r/antimlm/ discussions on Reddit have racked up 700,000+ followers since 2011.

13. Most People Have Had Success Prior to MLMs

Many successful people in network marketing schemes have been in such schemes prior.

They have brought over existing teams which makes their scalability significantly easier.

Likewise, they likely have joined in the early days when such schemes were easier to start.

In the network marketing industry, this is referred to ‘ground floor opportunity’ to get in early.

And thus, it is significantly harder for younger recruits to find success in any established MLM.

14. It Takes Several Years To Build A Full-Time Income

Many millenials perpetuate the notion of quitting their job within months and travelling the world.

Unfortunately, so few people ever reach a job-replacing income. It’s several years later if they do.

This is much-like many online businesses that require several years of work first as a side hustle.

Sadly, many do fall victim to the dream of being able to “fire the boss” very soon into the journey.

Some might have even written their resignation letter, with some leaving their jobs far too early.

15. Quitters Are Told They ‘Never Worked Hard Enough’

As briefly mentioned in a previous point, the “didn’t work hard enough” is a common catchcry.

While it’s 200% true that success requires relentless hard work, MLM is an uphill battle already.

So much so that distributors have significantly more work to do than other business owners.

Many representives end up quitting early on, and as mentioned, 99% make no money at all.

Sadly, few representatives have the audacity to address fundamental flaws of the MLM model.

16. Any Constructive Criticism Is Quickly Subdued

Should you post anything negative towards an MLM scheme, these are quickly surpressed.

This happens regularly in Facebook groups, and most recently on Google and YouTube too.

As a blogger, I’ve had content surpressed which examined how challenging most MLMs are.

Distributors are often addressed with “stop being negative” or “you need to work harder”

While uplines never address root causes such as poor quality products and high prices.

Let’s not forget distributors playing the victim card when others (like myself) call them out.

17. Distributors Are Routinely Upsold Conferences

To be really successful in any MLM, you’re encouraged to attend regular national conferences.

Proponents say it’s for the successful folks who can learn from “the best in the business”

Conversely, skeptics claim that conferences are modern-day indoctrination techniques.

This is where I see some value in MLM companies given their personal development content.

Unfortunately, distributors pay up for flights, hotels and of course, their own conference ticket.

18. MLMs Destroy Friendships When Recruits Churn

Managing one’s attrition-rate is a challenge for many network marketers, both new and old.

Ideally, you need to recruit in more which overtakes the rate of which people leave the company.

And an often overlooked component is the lost friendships, as friends lose thousands of dollars.

Unfortunately, this creates a divide between friends based on “I didn’t make any money with you”

When in reality, the industry itself doesn’t lend itself to those who are green-faced to sales.

19. Recruits In 2024 Fly Under The Radar

I’ve touched on this point several times lightly in this article. That is – flying under the radar.

Many millenials in network marketing schemes routinely use poor choices of catchphrases.

Lines such as ‘entrepreneurship’ and ‘building my empire’ or ‘travelling makes me money’

These are all designed to engage individuals on social media and eventually create recruitment

While also perpetuating the dream of ‘being your own boss’ and having ‘lifestyle freedom’

20. Most MLMs Falsely Use ‘Direct Selling’

A popular defence is “We’re not MLM, we’re direct selling!” to move away from prejudices.

Direct selling would entain only selling such products and not engaging in any recruiting.

Unfortunately, most network marketing companies only fluorish from recruitng activities.

Otherwise, if the products were actually ‘so great’, you’d find them on shelves nationally.

So network marketing companies are simply that – networking to recruit more distributors.

21. Real Companies Are Called Pyramid Schemes

A common mistake by millenials in MLM schemes is calling real companies ‘pyramid schemes’.

This is because they see the typical corporate heirachy as not rewarding those starting out.

Funnily enough, they fail to see the security that real jobs bring such as income and benefits.

While this comparison is less popular than the other strategies on this list, it does happen.

And the #antimlm movement frowns upon this a lot given the intrinsic benefits of careers.

22. Products Cannot Be Purchased In Stores

With many network marketing companies, their products cannot readily be found in retail stores.

This is very odd as such companies proclaim the sheer quality and demand of their own products.

In some cases, such as Amway, you can purchase their products online without joining as an IBO.

Yet companies such as Amway have been around for many years and are now a household name.

Given that MLM products are often pricier, it’s likely they’ll be slow-movers on the shelves.

23. Representatives Routinely Make False Health Claims

Of everything listed, this one really frustrates me the most. MLM distributors often break the law.

Whether it’s Enagic reps claiming their alkaline water machines can magically cure cancer

Or untrained aDoTerra recruits overestimating the benefits of their essential oils.

These distributors either play in a grey area or outright cross the line.

Sometimes, this brings the attention of the FTC.

Fortunately, today, some companies are defending their reputation by secretly auditing reps.

24. Some Distributors Use Tragic Events to Recruit

Perhaps the worse practice by network marketing reps is the use of emotional moments to sell.

Whether it’s a disaster that caused multiple fatalities, or simply the passing of a family member

These representatives truly place themselves on the firing line for such disrespectful behaviour.

Luckily, this practice is frowned upon by those on the outside and those on the inside too.

It’s these times where the real ethics of network marketing and their distributors is on show.

25. MLMs Target Those Who Love to ‘Manifest’ Success

A recent trend is recruiting folks who believe that success is ‘manifested’ instead of earned.

Many are huge proponents of the Law of Attraction and believe immensely in universal power.

These individuals can be quite vulnerable as they believe a ‘magical genie’ is ready to give.

This may explain the failure rate of MLMs globally as they underestimate the work involved.

Oddly, many of these spiritually awakened folk do feel a sense of awkwardness in MLMs.

26. Distributors Never Actually Own Their Own Business

A popular recruiting tactic is the claim that everyday folks can own their own business.

Unfortunately, this is a completely false claim. Distributors become members of the MLM scheme.

And yet, recruits who started 5 minutes ago tout their new ‘business freedom’ on socials.

While not having business plans, marketing plans or even a basic P&L statement handy.

Worse – their ‘business’ can be taken away at any moment if the MLM company fails.

27. The Real Money In In Owning The Business

Many only find success in a network marketing company by bringing over an existing team.

But yet – the real money is in owning the business while others sell the product and opportunity.

This way you’ll have a biz that grows with few employees, as reps typically are volunteers.

Better yet – they’ll have to pay first to sell the product, then pay for company events and travel.

Essentially, people’s time, motivation and dreams become the commodity many MLM companies.

In Closing

There you have it! The ultimate cheat-sheet as to why MLMs are bad for everyday people.

Should you be chased by someone seeking to recruit you, then these are 27 legit rebuttals.

Why are they still legal? Because they have a product paired with an army of supporters.

Now I believe their future commercial viability is in question, based on 3 main points:

👉 Consumers can research more easily and become fully informed prior to making a purchase.

👉 eCommerce allows anyone to start a business where consumers can access cheaper products.

👉 Today’s digital economy allows most people in developed countries to work 100% online already.

I imagine the roaring ’20s will highlight a sharp decline in MLM recruitment.

In fact, it’s already started.

Then the real entrepreneurs working 80/hour weeks in the dark can have their well-earned titles back.

Have you just come across the Freedom Creators Collective in Canada and are keen to discover what it’s actually about?

Then you’ve come to the right place. 😃 No messing around here. I’ll get straight into it.

Let’s begin.

Freedom Creators Collective Overview

This is a popular FB group created by Samara Rempel, a fellow low-tox homeschooling parent. I resonate with a ton of her content!

Now, she implies that you’ll become a high-ticket affiliate marketer, but unfortunately, that is simply incorrect. She’s a network marketer (aka MLM) but as so many have been burned by that industry (see why MLMs are a bad choice), she and many others are using the affiliate term instead.

I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for 10+ years and recruiting isn’t part of the game with affiliate marketing. Recruiting is necessary for her to grow her team. And so, she’s in multi-level marketing.

And the high-ticket product?

Well…the Freedom Creators Collective ultimately sell Enagic’s Kangen water machines. Your friend could make a huge commission from you if they get you signed up. Did you know that?!

Oh whoops..they forgot to mention that. 🙃

If you’ve been wondering why there’s plenty of love bombing and a bit of pressure to get started, that’s why. 😉 Friends making money off their friends. That’s how this works.

It’s an MLM Training Group / Program

Now, Enagic’s own training materials are super average and hardly anyone wants to join. In fact, according to Google Trends, Kangen water machines have slowly gone down in popularity over the past few years:

And so, Samara and numerous others create these seperate groups to enrol people into Enagic, without much mention of the product. It’s genius! This is why buzz words such as time freedom, legacy income, be your own boss and the rest are often used.

Because deep down inside, so few people want to pay $7,000 to $20,000 for a water machine package. Yes, that’s what they’re hoping you’ll spend to get started in this “opportunity of a lifetime”…but you’ll be the customer, not a business owner or anything like that. 😞

By the way, they’re expensive because of the commissions involved. Not much to do with the technology or quality, or anything like that.

And so, to recoup what you’ve spent, you’ll have do to another mama what’s been done to you. Within the Freedom Creators Collective, you’ll get to discover the tactics that were used on you and many others. It’s ultimately a training front (under the guise of “attraction marketing”) to sell you into the water machines on the back end.

“Hey mama, you want this freedom lifestyle…don’t you? You’ll have to buy a machine to be in with a chance!”

That’s how it works in one sentence.

Is It Worth It?

While many people do think that this is a pyramid scheme, they are legal because they have a product involved. The Freedom Creators Collective just isn’t clear that they’re trying to get these women signed up to become Enagic representatives.

As we can see from this US earnings table, getting involved may not be worth it:

Rank	# Sellers	% Sellers	Median $ Earned
1A	19,785	59.34%	$285
2A	4,900	14.70%	$580
3A	1,760	5.28%	$1,032
4A	2,262	6.78%	$1,669
5A	1,193	3.58%	$1,970
6A	2,487	7.46%	$6,617
6A2	621	1.86%	$13,866
6A2-2	201	0.60%	$24,598
6A2-3	88	0.26%	$97,544
6A2-4	27	0.08%	$228,304
6A2-5	13	0.04%	$398,539
6A2-6	7	0.02%	$1,365,579

Source: https://www.enagic.com/en/distributors-earnings-disclosure-statement
Note: The last row (6A2-6) includes higher ranks. This table isn’t a promise of earnings.

For the 99.5% of people in this scheme, the results are super ordinary. 😑

Oh and…this doesn’t account for the $7k to $20k CAD you’ll have to spend on these water machines! So even if you get to 6A (considered to be high ranking), you might actually break even.

This doesn’t account for travel, accommodation, conferences, hours spent crafting catches stories on social media about your ‘freedom’ and having to keep hustling to get anywhere. If anything, that could be taking freedom away from you.

Ultimately

There are many ways to make a living online. The safest way is a normal job. That’s difficult for some home schoolers but not impossible. And certainly less embarrassing than being involved in these types of schemes.

You can learn a ton from this group about low-tox living, raising capable children and make some great friends along the way. I’m just not sure I’d be lining up to give my friend and their 6 uplines thousands of dollars of my own money.
