Liberty League International is one of many home based business opportunities that you will find while searching the 'net. Is it everything that the top producers and members of the Executive Marketing Council say it is? Or is it perhaps an over-hyped opportunity which has more than run its course? As someone who has been involved with Liberty league for close to a year, I hope to answer some of those questions for you and perhaps save you thousands of dollars in the process.
What is the product? The first level product is called "Beyond Freedom". This is a 90 day personal development course. It includes a workbook, a journal, 3 cd's (which are recordings of Brent Payne and some others reading the material covered in the workbook) a dvd, and some plastic goal setting cards. Oh, I almost forgot, a wristband with the inscription "your life begins now" and two pens. I think that's all. Cost: $495.00 wholesale, $1,495.00 plus $30.00 shipping. Is it worth it? You'll have to be the judge however, think of how many books, courses, even seminars $1,495.00 will purchase. A good quality journal is only about $12.95, so where is the value?
Taking a look at the compensation plan which is touted to be "second to none" in the industry, here are a few items to consider. The business model is an "Australian 2-up" which is known to be one of the most flawed plans in the home business industry. It also means that your first two "training sales" are passed up to your adviser. The pitch is that every person you sponsor will pass -up their first two "training sales to you, and those two will in turn pass-up their first two (which makes four) and so on, and so on. Don't believe it, just Google Australian 2-up and read what other experts are saying.
Also it might be prudent to picture yourself in your adviser's shoes. What I mean is that after you have passed up two sales to your adviser, what interest do they have in helping you. Do you think you and your adviser might be in competition for the same business now? How many new 'Secrets" that your adviser learns do you think they will want to share with you?
One of the first places that your adviser will send you is to a Professional Marketer/Conference Overview call. On that call members of the Executive Marketing Council will stress to you how important it is to "properly capitalize" your business. This means that you should invest another $7,995 for a Liberty Conference (a 3 day business conference) ticket, and an additional $12,995 for a Summit Conference (5 day business conference) ticket. That's so when one of your associates purchases a Liberty or Summit ticket you will be "qualified to receive a profit" of $5,000 or $8,000.
Lets look at how some of these numbers work out. In order for you to be in a "profit position" on any of the three levels you must first pass up two sales to your adviser right? Not always. In the Liberty (3 day) Conference and Summit (5 day) Conference tickets, there is one more catch. Check this out. Your adviser has a register for each conference. If you are in the first position on the register, four more tickets must be sold after you for you to be "released" and in a "profit" position. If your adviser isn't actively marketing, you might pass-up each of those four ticket sales at each level in order to qualify yourself. Looking at the numbers, $5,000.00 profit on each Liberty Conference ticket, plus $8,000.00 profit on each Summit Conference ticket, means that including you own purchases of these tickets plus four more of each, your adviser has the potential of earning $65,000.00 "profit" before you are even qualified to earn a DIME. Does this seem fair to you?
Before making your final decision you'll want to do some due diligence. A good place to start is online with Google. If you check out Liberty League you'll find some pretty unhappy folks out there, more than with most programs. Also check out Australian pass up programs. Many experts are now finding the same flaws which have been discussed here.
