Is Beachbody’s Coaching home business opportunity a pyramid scam?

For some reason, many people associate network marketing and multi-level marketing companies with pyramid scams. I think it is because of the fact that to become a Beachbody Coach, you have to sign up under somebody, and that somebody benefits from everything that you do. Ok, sound I guess I could see how that could kind of bother someone, but how is it different from any other job where you work for an hourly rate?

Let’s use a sandwich maker at Subway as an example. A worker at Subway has to make subs and no matter what he gets paid the same hourly rate. If customers come pouring in and the worker has to bust his butt to keep up, he still gets the same pay as if the place was empty and he was just standing around. However, if you are the owner of the business, the busier you are, the more money you make. It seems kind of unfair that the busy Subway maker makes the same amount while the owner, who is generally not even there, makes more money. It is hard to stay motivated as an hourly worker.

Here is how the Beachbody business works in short; It costs $40 to become a Beachbody Coach, $0 of that $40 goes to the person you sign up under. If you sell something, you get a 25% commission, and everyone above you gets what is called Team Volume and they are able to earn small bonuses on that volume if they qualify for it. The only way the Coach you signed up under is successful is if you are successful. So they want to help and do everything they can to make sure you’ll be successful, everybody wins. It is a great concept.

The point is, at most  jobs, there is someone above you reaping the rewards of your hard work. You have 2 options, to be leveraged, or to leverage others. Joining a network marketing company and becoming the owner of your own business, such as Beachbody allows you to start “leveraging” others.

The famous billionaire oil baron John Paul Getty once said;

“I’d rather have one percent of the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent of my own efforts.”

And that is what network marketing is all about, all it takes is everyone doing just a little bit to be successful. Here is great video of my buddy Cedrick Harris talking about pyramid scams.
