Arbonne Information. Is Arbonne a Scam or Is Arbonne a Pyramid?

By Mathew S. Robar

We will examine the opportunity to see if Arbonne is a pyramid scheme, a ponzi scheme or an outright scam.Arbonne International has been creating a lot of buzz lately.

In these recession times, we see more and more people turnign to home based businesses as a means of generating extra income.

Arbonne has a research facility in Switzerland and is currently sold in 3 countries. Arbonne is distributed in the US, Canada and Australia.

Arbonne specializes in personal care products with an emphasis in skin care. They have also recently moved into dietary supplements.

Their business structure is similar to that of the major players. It is a MLM (multi-level-marketing) structure.

As in other MLM's, you will be required to pay a distributor fee upfront and then you build your business by recruiting people underneath you.

To those familiar with MLM companies, you will first be asked to draw upon your friends and family to try and get things up and running.

The next steps will include inviting people over to your home for a product party and attending hotel meetings.

With their number aproaching 1.3 million distributors worldwide, Arbonne is not a scam. They are however a MLM which sees about 90% of their distributors leave within 90 days.

If you are ok with the above marketing methods, then Arbonne may be a good fit for you.

If you do not see yourself in the above structure, I would keep looking for another opportunity. There are a lof of legitimate ways to make money online these days. The best opportunities offer you mentorship and a compensation plan that sets you up to succeed.

Good luck, have fun out there. - 16928
