$10 a month pyramid scheme


EmpowerLife fails to offer possession or govt data on its web site.

EmpowerLife’s web site area (“empowerlife.membership”), was privately registered on July fifth, 2023.

Additional analysis reveals Empower Life’s advertising movies are hosted by a CEO going by Alex Thomas.

Alex Thomas is definitely Alexis Thomas, believed to be from Cyprus.

BehindMLM got here throughout Thomas in 2020 as CEO of TwentyXPro.

TwentyXPro was a easy MLM matrix-based Ponzi cycler.

TwentyXPro’s web site remains to be up immediately. SimilarWeb tracks negligible visitors to its web site nonetheless, confirming TwentyXPro has collapsed.

Along with TwentyXPro, Thomas additionally runs Digital Membership United.

As tracked by SimilarWeb, Digital Membership United noticed an uptick in web site visitors for Could 2023. In June 2023 nonetheless visitors collapsed once more, dropping 71% month on month.

As at all times, if an MLM firm is just not overtly upfront about who’s operating or owns it, suppose lengthy and laborious about becoming a member of and/or handing over any cash.

EmpowerLife’s Compensation Plan

For each free and paid EmpowerLife associates, commissions are paid on recruitment of paid associates.

Referral Commissions

Paid EmpowerLife associates earn $10 per paid affiliate recruited.

Free EmpowerLife associates earn $5 per paid affiliate recruited.

Residual Commissions

EmpowerLife pays residual commissions through a 2×12 matrix.

A 2×12 matrix locations an affiliate on the prime of a matrix, with two positions instantly underneath them.

These two positions type the primary degree of the matrix. The second degree of the matrix is generated by splitting these first two positions into one other two positions every.

Ranges three to 12 of the matrix are generated in the identical method, with every new degree housing twice as many positions because the earlier degree.

Positions within the matrix are stuffed through direct and oblique recruitment of paid EmpowerLife associates.

Commissions are paid as 5% of the $10 payment every recruited paid EmpowerLife affiliate pays every month (50 cents).

Infinity Commissions

EmpowerLife’s Infinity Commissions is a 2-up recruitment fee, tracked through a unilevel compensation construction.

A unilevel compensation construction locations an affiliate on the prime of a unilevel crew, with each personally recruited affiliate positioned instantly underneath them (degree 1):

If any degree 1 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on degree 2 of the unique affiliate’s unilevel crew.

The two-up caveat sees every EmpowerLife affiliate move up the $1 a month fee from the primary two associates they recruit.

So in impact, EmpowerLife associates don’t earn Infinity Commissions till they’ve recruited three associates. From the third affiliate, $1 a month per affiliate recruited is paid out.

Word that pass-up commissions are in flip acquired from downline associates. Bear in mind, each EmpowerLife affiliate has to move up the $1 a month fee from their first two recruited associates.

As such, it’s doable for an EmpowerLife affiliate to gather pass-up $1 a month commissions from their downline.

Relying on how recruitment performs out throughout an affiliate’s unilevel crew, theoretically it’s doable to obtain pass-ups from an infinite depth.

EmpowerLife Conclusion

The final submit on TwentyXPro’s official FaceBook web page is dated March seventeenth, 2023:

A month later, Alexis Thomas additionally gave up on Digital Membership United:

Whereas it’s not a straight reboot of both scheme, EmpowerLife is clearly Thomas launching a brand new scheme within the wake of two collapses.

On the regulatory entrance EmpowerLife operates as a pyramid scheme. All commissions are tied to recruitment and nothing is marketed or offered to retail clients.

I did see entry to “resell rights” digital merchandise as a part of EmpowerLife’s advertising:

Whereas it’s doable to resell nugatory digital merchandise to suckers, this doesn’t have something to do with EmpowerLife’s MLM alternative.

As with all MLM pyramid schemes, as soon as recruitment dries up so too will month-to-month commissions.

This may see associates larger within the matrix finally additionally cease paying their month-to-month payment. As soon as sufficient EmpowerLife associates cease paying, an irreversible collapse is triggered.

For sure the vast majority of cash earned in a matrix-based pyramid scheme like EmpowerLife is paid to the proprietor, Alexis Thomas, and early prime recruiters.

Math ensures the vast majority of individuals in pyramid schemes lose cash.
