Find Profitable Niches

I have lots of experience with multilevel marketing programs, but if you do not have that experience a MLM compensation plan can be a bit confusing, and the Ardyss compensation plan is no different. There is tons of jargon involved in a compensation plan, and while they all have similar ideas each plan will change the specific terms they use, hence the confusion for novices.

Obviously the first portion of the Ardyss compensation plan, or any MLM compensation plan, is the profits that come from retail sales. Like any MLM, Ardyss distributors purchase their products from the parent company, in this case Ardyss, at wholesale price.

The suggested retail mark up for Ardyss products is 40 percent, and that is no small slice. While it might be tempting to try cutting your profit margin in an attempt to boost volume, undercutting is not necessary for boosting sales in multilevel marketing.

With effective marketing you should have no problem moving your product at the suggested retail price. Not only will you not have to worry about upsetting other distributors, you will be increasing your own earnings by boosting your volume without cutting into your profit margin.

Like any other MLM program available, there are plenty of people out there willing to yell from the highest mountains at anyone who will listen about the potential dangers of the Ardyss scam. I always take accusations of scams very seriously, but have found that all too often in the MLM business people cry foul when there is nothing wrong. Either way I think it is important to look at any claims seriously and I use a basic standard approach any time I research one.

Essentially I mostly focus on two things when looking at a multilevel marketing program that has been called a scam. The actual product, and the business, typical complaints about a scam are focused on either of these key elements and the Ardyss scam is no different from any other MLM program in this regard.

So let take a look at the Ardyss product line and see if there is a scam to be found. Ardyss has a diverse line of products which includes health supplements and skin care products, and their core line of body reshaping garments. Honestly, I find myself questioning how well some Ardyss products work, such as if their memory improving health supplement actually work. That being said, body reshaping clothing has been around for a while.

While some products may in fact be more placebo than power packed, I feel confident that the primary product, their body reshaping products can effectively change the shape of a person’s body through prolonged and regular use, even if it is only by conditioning the body to perpetually try to suck in the tummy or sit up straight. In short, proclaiming the catalog is the Ardyss scam seems heavy handed and inaccurate to me.
