Herbalife MLM Home Business - Real Opportunity or Scam?

By Gordon Garza

Herbalife is a health based company. It has its headquarters in California and Los Angeles. Mark Hughes with the support of Dr. Richard Marconi, a PhD and nutritional expert, established Herbalife International.

Wishing to build and market weight loss products successfully Mark Hughes developed the industry of Herbalife. Before using the MLM system to market their product; however, Herbalife International marketed through infomercials and word of mouth, buttons and even bumper stickers.

The Herbalife Product Line:

The products offered by Herbalife International include health and wellness products, fitness products, herbs and dietary supplements and even skin care products. The products are produced to be of a healthier nature than similar products available over the counter.

Helping you to lose weight and live a healthier life the Herbalife products are made to not result in adverse reactions. Herbalife MLM works with three main products: Formula #1, Formula #2 and Formula #3.

Formula #1 consists of a meal replacement high protein drink. Formula #2 is a tablet made up of herbals and Formula #3 is a multivitamin and mineral tablet.

When Herbalife began they marketed their products as the Slim and Trim Program; today this same program is called Herbalife's Cellular Nutrition Health and Weight Management Program. The programs are pretty much the same and include a Thermogenic system that aids in weight control.

There are some testimonials of the customers who have taken Herbalife products. The consumers who have taken Herbalife products state that, there is an increase in stamina and energy level. The products are very effective in weight loss and provide relief form arthritis, headaches, acidity and other inflammation ailments

The Compensation Plan:

Admittedly, Herbalife compensation plan is a bit difficult to explain; it is a stair step breakaway plan. Basically, the distributors have to break from their original sponsor when they hit a specific point.

Once this takes place the original sponsor receives a percentage of the total volume of the distributor's collection. Although difficult to understand, Herbalife' compensation plan proves to be better than most compensation plans within the market.

The best laid compensation plan is worthless without recruiting people though. If you are able to build a team of 100 to 200 members your opportunities for money is good with about $1000 a month in residual income.

Herbalife is a great fit for every one. It has a good product line and fair compensation plan according to the internet marketing industry standards.
