In a follow up post I specifically said that I had no doubt the training is solid- David is a fantastic trainer.

Respectfully, you have completely missed my main point with respect to the comp plan.
I don’t care how “lucrative” the comp plan is… the 100 % commission angle is deceptive. Period.

The average person (which is the standard the Federal Trade uses in evaluating product claims) who sees an ad for 100% commission thinks that they will make 100% of every sale. That is not the case. Bottom line- I didnt recommend it then, and I don’t recommend it now as a blog platform.

I’m glad that you are enjoying your experience with the EN. I wish you the best of luck!

Most of your comments here date back to only a month or two after the Empower Network launched.

The reason you only see David’s picture (twice) on the front page is because many of the people who sign up haven’t taken the time to post their own picture in the box. If you look at my site you’ll see my big ugly mug.

In the first month or so there was very little available outside of the blog (which by the way now has an Alexa ranking worldwide of 1,008 and 294 in the US.

Now there are interviews available on a weekly basis and additional training products available. The interviews are with industry leaders who are coming on board using this as a training and marketing tool for their primary business to great success.

To your example of you passing up sales, as Peter mentioned you also get passups, so using your numbers of 80/20 and a $100 total sale, this would be the possible scenario.

You make 10 sales and pass up 4, you’ve made $600 on 10 sales. From the next two levels down you get 8 passups for $800. This by the way is residual products. You are now making $1,400 a month for as long as those people keep their subscription.

Using these same numbers, you are spending 100 a month and earning 1400.

Tell me that’s not a lucrative comp plan, and pioneering. Also every comp plan known to man sells based upon what is possible not what is probable.

In a traditional comp plan you would have to have 1,000-1,400 people in your group to achieve those results.

Does everyone achieve it? Absolutely not along with the fact that most people never succeed at anything they try to do, in part due to the lack of training or desire.

Here you have access to a powerful blogging platform and incredible training.

Like anything else in life, not for everyone. I think however it’s a disservice to give such a pointed opinion when are not totally knowledgeable about the subject.

Just my two cents, or maybe 3.
