Let me guess; you’re looking at this report because you want to learn more about Forever Living and you’re just doing your due diligence, and that’s fantastic. Today I’ve put together this article to answer the question ‘Is Forever Living a scam or not’…and whether you can begin to create an income by sponsoring distributors to this company.
Product
Forever Living is a nutritional MLM company. They provide several different products such as Aloe Vera Gel, Bee Honey,Royal Jelly and a whole variety of beneficial liquid based supplements. You can make money with them by selling the products, you don’t actually have to pay any monthly autoship fees, though you’ll also get discounts on Forever Living’s products and you won’t be able to build a business if you join for free as a distributor.
It will cost you $372 to purchase the business-in-a-box package as an Assistant Supervisor, and you will be able to reach Supervisor then move onto Manager based on your organisation’s sales volume.
Compensation Plan
You can begin to earn 35-43% profit from retail customers and starting at 5% from your downline (this will increase based on your level). Therefore it would be more favourable to sell products traditionally, however you can always recruit reps and get them to promote Forever Living’s products for you using the power of leveraging an entire team. You could start to market the products first, then gradually move on up to build your own team.
So, Is Forever Living Really a Scam? Can You Make Money With This Opportunity?
Overall, this company actually isn’t a scam and it is a fantastic business opportunity, whether you’re looking to retail or recruit. I actually work with a few people in this particular business and I teach them how to generate as many leads and reps as they want to their organisation.
You can absolutely create wealth with Forever Living if you have the correct marketing training, systems in place and a real mentor that can help you to get the success that you want in your enterprise.
Whether you’re currently a distributor with this company right now or if you’re looking to get started, you can definitely make this work when you apply some simple concepts I’m gonna show you later.

what is your overall thoughts behind comparing Forever living with Usana Health Sciences?
…pros? …cons?
what is your thoughts or research, if any, about comparing usana health sciences with forever living?
Seb,
The reasoning behind your headline is suspect! What “secrets” have you actually revealed in your article above that are not already in the public domain? As far as I can tell, NONE.
Why do you want to introduced “sensational journalism” in an area where it is NOT required at all? I will be interested in getting your feedback on this and particularly on your comment which states “Overall, this company actually isn’t a scam”. What do you mean by inserting the word “overall”? Are you insinuating that in other ways it could be?

Tom I’m just sharing information about the company…also I edited out the link from your negative comment – having said that I respect you taking time out of your day to defend your company 🙂 no Forever Living isn’t a scam haha.
Hi.. there..
Could you please show me more of this techniques how to market online with efficiency…
Thanks in advance, – Let us catch up each with each other at Skype: mujaser
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas…
I’d be happy to – just added you to Skype 🙂 thanks for commenting!
Anything with uplines, downlines, levels, unrealistic profit margins and recruitment-based rewards is a scam. Since you are not associated in any way with Forever Living, how could you absolve the scheme so quickly based on what they claim to offer?
After laughing my a$$ off at your stupid opinion, I’ve decided to answer your question since you truly made my day by saying that 🙂 I almost thought you were being serious there! 😉
I’m good friends with a few Forever Living associates and asked for some information about the company so I could review it.
Nice post. I be taught one thing more challenging on totally different blogs everyday.
It should all the time be stimulating to learn content from other writers
and practice a bit something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content material
on my weblog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll offer you a hyperlink in your web blog.
Thanks for sharing.
Great post Seb! I’m not so sure how much that diagram actually helped me understand anything lol. I like the way you handled the idiot in the comments
Hey Brian
Think that was just for the bonuses specifically, I had a better one but it somehow got deleted off my blog haha
Hello! Nice to read something positive and not from bitter people who have maybe tried it and failed – this is not FL fault! You get out what you put in – like anything in life! Its not a get rich quick scheme or a pyramid scheme that will pay you to sit on your backside – its about lots of people doing a little bit (or a lot if they want to really make it into their only job!). I have come into this with my eyes wide open and so far (I only joined in January!) really enjoying the journey!! Negative Outcome: I laid out £199.75 for a box with approx £250 of products in it and a wholesale account for life with 35% off everything I purchase!! and a Positive Outcome is that I could zoom up the marketing plan to uncapped earnings…….. hmmmm no brainer me thinks!!

Hey Vanessa! Appreciate the comment…glad it is working for you. Anything I can do to help you generate more leads, sales and business builders in FLP please let me know. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
you re a scam ! you should be ashamed of yourself. I’m talking from a personal experince. I had someone really close who startedwith the Forelever living thing and i could really see how it works.
Sooo, you re selling these wonderful opportunities (making money, being independant, blablabla) but actually if you really want to succeed in it (i agree it could be possible, but..), you have to Sharky the sharkest… Beside there are many deep economical incoherences in this scheme:
– First, let’s be clear, you don’t have Scientific evidences (I’m note talking about what my or your grandma is thinking) that the Aloe vera range of products have any of nice effects that you ‘re promoting.
– Secondly, there is a huge/scary brainwash organized before you start as a distributor. It tells you for instance that even if everybody around you is telling you that you ‘re making a mistake working for that company you should not listen them (wife, husband, parents, friends) but you should listen to the guy on the video comparing your experience with Scharwzenerg’s …who became the governor of california despite nobody believed in him at the fist time !!!!!
– Then, this is a highly competitive market (beauty, health and sport related products). So how can you dare telling people that by becoming independant distributor, with a limited margin on sales and overpriced products (we ll be back on this), that they could compete with so many existing brands already dominating they market… Come on !!
– Plus, these products are soooooooo expansive. 28 euros for a heating cream ??? You have the same quantity from a notorious and legit brand in pharmacy for 7 euros… WTF !! this is Aloe Vera or Gold that you put inside ?
– you should explain (but honesty doesn’t seem to be part of the brand ethic) that considering a margin on sales of 35% (if ever u managed to reach level 2, meaning you sold or bought at least 500 euros of this sh.t at level 1), you will need to sale 1 000 euros of Forever living (I wish it would be “leaving”) products a month if you want to make 350 euros… .
– But yeah yeah I know, the Company is helping independant distributors to develop their network so they could reach these goals, right ? So guess what: Actually the few people who would buy these products would be your own famlily and/or good friends, to help you cause you ‘re starting your business. One shot sale, but after that ….So basicly, they’re making money (just a bit) on their own people… Not really nice, don’t you think.
– And after a little while, your friends will start excluding you, cause you ‘re this guy trying to sell his sh.t and worst… to recruit them. YEAH !!! so they will be part of the scam…sorry the forever family.
– Indeed, even if many countries try to ban this, as an independant distributor, your mission will soon to recruit someonelse, so you can take a stake on the (few) sales he makes.
Conclusion: I have absolutely no doubt that from Forver Living point of view, this scheme is really great. They ‘re selling products with no cost of distribution, no employees (beside few logistic people in the warhouse) just by recruiting distributor by lying to them promoting they will make easy money and become independant … . And this distributors will for sure buy and/or sell at least 300 euros of products, just to constitue their demo package (cause u need samples to sell to other people, of course).
From the distributor point of view, he will start with lot of hopes and will really believe what the company is promoting through their videos, training, the example of their aces (like super saler of the year). And he will be told that he really needs to reach level 2 cause at level 1, his margin sucks (15%) and he can’t really make money. So be it, he will sell to everyone, most likely himself and/or his close family that wants to help him. But really soon, he will consider that it’s not because you have 1 000 friends on facebook that you have 1 000 customers, and he will end the experience, loosing between 200 to 500 euros (possibly more, depending how intense you get) and maybe more important loosing self confidence (“I didn’t succeed” or “I’m stupid I got trapped”) and probably few friends.
I conceed that few people, as distributors, can actually make money from this, but you have to get the necessary qualities:
– Being a salesman is a real work and ask experience and social skills. Doesn’t fit to everyone (I couldn’t !!)
– Having a strong motivation to wake up everymorning and say: “Ok let’s go to work and let’s sell some Aloe”.
– Having a real network of potential buyers for your products. But you HAVE to figure that before you start…
– Having some time, cause it has to be a real work if you want to make money from it.
So even if the products are real and the company’s actvity is legal I think this is a scam because of the way it recruits its distributors. Most likely by choosing them vulnerable and/or bored and/or with a will to make money for their family and promising easy money. The only one making money from it is the Company itself, despite few exceptions. It’s not forbidden but in y opinion, there are some ways to do it. And for me, scaming people is not one of them.
Hey Seb! First of all your name is fantastic 😉 secondly I do agree with some of your points. Distributors aren’t always trained properly so may be promoting the company incorrectly…your best bet is to leverage affiliate marketing to cover your costs in FLP while you build up a residual, and most important brand YOU first not any company! Appreciate the comment.
I was a bit rude, sorry. My close one is just going through all of this and I don’t want it to happen to others… Nothing personal
All good brother…more than happy for you to express your opinion, I may not agree but will fight till the death your right to have one! 🙂 also bear in mind I am not an FLP rep however having several good friends in the business, that’s what I’ve based my review on.
2 words for this shit….home wrecker and failure.there wil come a time when the market wil become saturated and u have no investment other than this brainwashing story….
Do not alienate ur family because when u fail..they wil be there for you and not that mormon rex maughan
