I am no fan of multi-level marketing (MLM) or networking marketing so when I heard that iLearning Global is structured on network marketing ideas, I was very suspicious.
I am used to affiliate marketing.
I introduce you to something you want and buy, then I receive an introduction fee and some can be very generous.
But network marketing is all about the different tiers and who sells what and how many.
The money comes from the chain of customers who also want to sell and it comes with various conditions and percentages. It is confusing.
To be fair to iLearning Global, they do explain it in the Opportunity page on the commercial iLearning Global website.
How The Multi Levels Build Exponentially
The power of multi-level marketing is when the people you have sold to all market the product and their efforts bring you rewards.
So if you sell to three people and they sell to three who sell to three people...
3
9
27
81
243
729
you finish up getting a small amount from a lot of people.
Multi-level marketing is built around a pyramid scheme. Great if you are at the top but not so remunerative if you join very late when most of the opportunity has gone.
But I Am A Fan Of iLearning Global
I have believed in the need for an Internet portal which brings the best advice from the best contributors together in one place.
I love the Internet but you can waste so much time looking for something and then wading through the chaff to find the little gold nuggets.
So I want access to the iLearning Global training materials for myself and believe that there is a huge latent demand for this service.
iLearning Global Gives You A Choice
When you subscribe, you have the choice to become a customer or a marketer - and the price different is small.
If you don't want to go around touting iLearning Global to your friends, then you don't have to. You just buy access to some of the best training from the biggest names around delivered in an extremely convenient way.
But if you are looking for a way to earn passive income, then iLearning Global provides that opportunity too.
Since you have to pay the membership fee, I wouldn't buy it if I didn't want the business and personal development information so I see the MLM structure as a way that may defer my costs and give me the chance to get the information for free, if people down the chain promote it.
if the iLearning Global networking marketing opportunity appeals, then take a look at the commercial iLearning Global website. You can only get into the program through a sponsor and this link should default to me - paulsimister - as the sponsor.
If the iLearning Global training appeals, and you hate the idea of the networking marketing, then just buy as a customer.
Alternative Training to iLearning Global
I withdrew from iLearning Global but I have been a member of Simpleology for about three years. There is some excellent training.
The website undersells the benefits. Joining Simpleology is strongly recommended for anyone with a business. Start with the Simpleology 101 course and the excellent best selling marketing book The Irresistible Offer now available FREE.









MLM or network marketing I think is a really good, fast and legal way to earn a living - both offline and online. Too bad there are scams out there that smudge the good face of the industry. On the other hand, there are also those that are legit, some of which I'm a part of.
