Before looking at the Usana network marketing company and the business model employed you need to be aware of one of the current internet marketing tactics being used by article writers and network marketers in an attempt to increase their own profits.
There is no doubt that the network marketing industry is hugely profitable and continues to grow at an exponential rate. This may partly be due to the current economic crisis worldwide and the need for people to find a residual income.
The outcome is that competition online is also growing at an exponential rate with literally millions of MLM website pages competing against each other. Competition comes in three ways – competing MLM companies competing distributors within the same network marketing company or both competing for a larger share of their chosen niche market such as health and fitness.
So the tactic is to write an article or a website review implying that the MLM company such as Usana is a scam highlighting things that may limit or be detrimental to the success of the individual distributor or questioning the quality of the products being promoted. And, of course, the article or review always includes a link to a “much better alternative”.
Okay back to Usana. Is the Usana business opportunity really a scam?
No it is not.
Usana is a highly successful business which operates out of Utah. Usana Health Sciences Incorporated was founded by Dr. Myron Wentz in 1992. It has experienced a phenomenal rate of growth worldwide which in itself may have led to the speculation that the company wasn’t quite legitimate. The products offered within the Usana business are mainly personal care, nutritional, and energy products. Their compensation plan seems to be well thought out offering up to 6 different ways to get paid.
As you would expect with any typical network marketing company, Usana place an extremely strong emphasis on recruiting independent distributors. Product sales have also been important for the longevity of the company but without doubt all network marketing or MLM companies make more money through increased membership and the recruitment of independent distributors.
Usana products are of a high quality (although also being targeted in the tactical scam reviews). Their efficacy cannot be doubted but within this health and fitness niche there are less expensive alternatives which may make it difficult for the distributors to compete.
So, Usana is a real business opportunity within the network marketing industry. If you believe you have the necessary aptitude and skills remember that in order to succeed you will need to sell their products (buying at wholesale and selling on for a profit at retail) and put a great deal of effort in building your down lines to match the binary compensation plan.
One reality check that should be considered is that regardless of the MLM Company you check out, those members who got in at the beginning and through their own endeavors got to the top are the ones that MLM is really structured for. That doesn’t mean that if you were to join a company such as Usana that you wouldn’t make serious money.
The way to do that is by adopting modern marketing methods. If you don’t know how, you won’t succeed unless you get the right training and coaching before investing a great deal of time and hard earned cash.
Traditional MLM down line building methods of working what is called your “warm market” of family members, friends, and people you know is no longer enough to build a sustainable and profitable business (if your warm market ever was enough to build a real business).
There is nothing wrong with this approach but the return you actually achieve is going to be extremely limited. You need to think about what it takes to run a modern business in today’s competitive marketplace. In the context of joining Usana or any other MLM company, that means such things as learning how to market yourself and your company on the internet as well as investing in a quality lead generation system.
