The Empower Network | Why I Said No

the empower network

If you are researching the Empower Network you cannot fail to see the stories of success littered all over the internet, but if you look closer you will also see a few less complimentary versions of how people followed the 90 day blog plan and got no results at all.

So what I want to share with you in this empower network review is a bit about the company, the compensation plan and why I made the decision NOT to join when it launched last year.

So firstly a little bit about this rather extraordinary company The Empower Network.

Well it certainly created a few shockwaves in the industry when it launched in the Autumn of 2011.

As a marketer, I am always interested when someone “breaks the mould” a bit and so I took time to investigate it as it didn’t seem like any MLM model but it wasn’t quite a one off affiliate programme either.   It was different and new.

It would appear that the “product” was a ready made, optimized (for the search engines) blog that you could just start blogging on straight away.

The blog had highly converting opt-ins and capture pages attached so that anyone visiting your blog and liking your content could opt in and be taken to a sales video and follow up.

It ‘branded’ Dave Woods and David Sharpe as the creators of the system.

But the biggest selling point about the Empower Network system was that as an affiliate of the company you were then able to promote the system and earn 100% commissions.

100% commissions I thought??   NOT possible!!  How would the Empower Network make any money?

So I investigated further and found that there is a $19 “back office merchant” fee so that you don’t have to process the financial transactions yourself.  This fee also pays for the capture pages, hosting, customer service and all the transactions.

Hmmm – I still couldn’t quite believe it.

The blog would cost $25 a month to get going and then as soon as you wanted to promote it to earn the 100 % commissions you would pay the $19 monthly admin fee.

There are then the upgrades of course……….

To get inside the “Inner Circle” you had to pay an additional $100 a month (on top of the $25 and the $19) to get access to the training.

Well as I was already a member of a top MLM Marketing system that covers just about everything you ever need to know about marketing your business online, I knew then that I was not going to pay out $144 for a blog that I didn’t need and some training that I could probably find in my back office marketing system.

1)   I had my own blog already that branded me and not a half naked David Wood!

2)    In the early days there did not seem to be any way of changing the picture or tailoring the blog in any way

3)   There didn’t appear to be any training for new people

4)   Their claim of 100% commissions didn’t sound quite right when you realize that you get to keep the 1st, 3rd and 5th people that you first sponsor and your upline gets to keep the 2nd, 4th and 6th plus every 5th after that.

I didn’t like the sound of it.

So I decided to make my own marketing decision ……. And ignore it.

I then stood  and watched in amazement as every single facebook advert on my profile and pages were filled up with people promoting the heck out of it.  Masses of people on my friends list then proceeded to “tell” me all about the Empower Network by messaging me at all times of the day about it.

I could see very well then that it was only the BIG marketers who were making the real money and the ones that had bought in at the beginning.  The people that hadn’t joined the Empower Network with one of the top marketers just didn’t stand a chance of advertising like the big guys were.

I felt I had made the right decision and waited for all the hype to die down!

Then followed the chaos as the servers were crashing, the payments didn’t go through and I just stood back and got on with my own business.

So why did I change my mind and jump on board with the Empower Network just a month ago?

Okay here’s why.

In my business I have a considerable web presence and one of the first things we are taught if we want to promote an MLM or our own business is that we must bring it online and start to brand ourselves.

But some of the less technical members of my team were really struggling with that and even ‘though it is fully laid out for them exactly how to set up a blog from start to finish in MLSP (my marketing system) – they just didn’t want to do it.

So I found myself building blogs when this is really NOT best use of my time.  (I like to leverage the internet to work for me, rather than get paid once for my time – which is a whole other topic for another blog post ! J )

And then a couple of them said that they had heard of the Empower Network and wanted to join.

I realized there and then that I was leaving “money on the table” by not offering this as a service or a tool to some of my team.

So I signed up just to be able to give this to my team as an option.  (But  hey I’m not daft – I decided to join a millionaire in the UK who went from starting up just 5 months ago, to being one of the top 10 affiliates in the whole of  the Empower Network.)

I wanted to see what he was doing.

And then something strange happened.

I listened to Dave Woods and David Sharpe (and WOW these guys talk a LOT) but I already knew Dave Woods as one of the top earners in two companies as well as the marketing system I am using.  So I knew he knew his stuff.

Within a week of showing it to a couple of people who had approached me for advice on how to build their MLM (but they had lost the passion for it) they decided to join the Empower Network because they had heard so much about the 100% commissions!

So I upgraded to the $100 package because my costs were already covered.

And the training inside the inner circle of the Empower Network blew me away!  This was stuff that just isn’t being taught out there ANYWHERE!

Trust me! – I know!

And more people joined.

Then I realized something else.   Dave and Dave are a product of their own business.  They are only making their money by building their business by being the top distributors in their own company – so they are ‘on the ground’ doing exactly what I am doing.

I loved that.

So recognizing that my new team members are all at different stages of  marketing knowledge – I partnered up with a good friend of mine to build my own Empower Network training website to show you exactly how you can start to get leads and cashflow right out of the gate.

Step-by-step

This really IS duplicatable and this really does give 100% commissions because of course if you plug your team into my training site, my webinars and my millionaire coach’s trainings and webinars, then you will find your team grows and then your commissions come from YOUR passups.

Make sense?

Now I make multiple steams of income on the internet and have been doing so for over a year now.  But guess what?

The Empower Network has fast become my favourite.
