Free Store Club
The Free Store Club calls their marketing method Exact Method Marketing (EMM). How this differs from MLM, I really could not tell you. They claim that their method is strictly duplication. During the training they compare it to McDonald's. With the Free Store Club program you get an actual internet based storefront with marketable merchandise. The merchandise ranges from clothes to cookware to knives. They provide you with this store, the only problem is you have one of those crazy domain names like www.freestoreclub.com/ref=1234567. If you are going to have your own store you need your own domain name. A domain name like the one above does not have as much credibility as your own unique name. Additionally, the stores are already stocked with their merchandise so you do not have the freedom of selling your own unique products.
The Free Store Club says you have two ways to make money. The first is to sell the merchandise in your not so unique store. You buy at wholesale prices and sell at retail to make your profit, all shipping and handling is included and taken care of by FSC. The second way to profit is to get other people to open their own Free Store Club. These people are placed in a two-legged matrix. To sign up for all of this is free by the way. You know what is coming next, don't you? Of course you do, to make the real money you just need to upgrade. In this case either to the silver level or the gold level. The sliver level is $10.00 per month and this gives you the write to earn up to $4000.00 per month from your down line or matrix. The gold level just raises the amount of money you can earn and gives you some other perks related to your store. Of course, to earn that kind of money you must have several hundred people under you. The problem with the Free Store Club matrix is that you must have both legs working well in order to receive payment. You may have 550 people in one leg of your matrix that have upgraded to either silver of gold for the month. This would be a pretty good paycheck for the month by the way. On your other leg by the way you only have 1 person that has upgraded. Since, you must have a minimum amount of points on each leg to receive a commission you would not receive one in this example. So it makes it harder than they want you to believe to get paid.
I am sure there are people doing very well with this program. If you want your own store I would recommend that you develop your own website with your own domain name and your own products. There are people that will help you with a site for a nominal fee if you do not have the expertise to build your own internet storefront.
The Free Store Club calls their marketing strategy EMM(exact method marketing) I call MLM. Call it what your want either way I can't recommend it.
STOP!!!!I have been a full-time internet marketer for three years. During that time I have tried, tested, and failed at hundreds of Internet business opportunities. Then I finally found an Internet marketing business model that has provided me with a full time income. Take a look at the products that provided me the business model that I use to make a living online. I'm sure these mentors will help you the same way they did me. Take a look at Mark Recommends!!
