iLearningGlobal – A Brief Review of The Company and Products

• Audio

• Motivation
• Personal Development

iLearningGlobal As A Business Opportunity

iLearningGlobal offers a business opportunity and compensation plan that is quite similar to that offered in other network marketing companies such as Amway, Melaleuca, and Herbalife. The compensation plan is based around the purchase of a monthly access membership to the educational content provided on the company website. Distributors, known as “Mastermind Marketers”, make money by recruiting others to join the company in order to have access to the same educational content and services.

The iLearningGlobal compensation plan pays from 3% to 7% commissions seven levels deep, so long as the distributor meets the business volume qualifications for payment at each particular level. The entire payment plan is based around the “monthly autoship” premise, which is no different from similar plans being offered by more traditional companies that sell skincare or nutritional products.

iLearningGlobal Pros and Cons

There are some definite positives regarding the iLearningGlobal opportunity.

iLearningGlobal Business Opportunity Pros

1. iLearningGlobal Is A Completely Digital Company. As such, all products are delivered with a minimal amount of overhead, which allows the company to pay out more in its compensation plan to its distributors. In addition, since there is no physical product to deliver, the only distribution concerns the company will have are with regards to signal bandwidth on their website servers. Companies such as YouTube and Google have clearly demonstrated that delivering millions of video views per day online is possible with today’s high-speed internet technology and servers. So, this should not be an issue for the company.

2. iLearningGlobal Sells An “In Demand” Product, in the sense that self-help, business, and motivation topics have been and will continue to be popular products in the consumer market.

3. iLearningGlobal Is Offering Quality Content From “Name” Authors and Speakers. Some notable names in their lineup include Brian Tracy, Mark Victor Hansen, and John Gray, just to name a few.

Cons and Drawbacks to the iLearningGlobal Business Opportunity

4. iLearningGlobal’s Content Delivery is Based On Streaming Content. While in the long-term, streaming content will be readily accessible using mobile broadband technology, it remains to be seen how quickly that technology will be widely available to the masses. Currently, with high cost of mobile broadband devices and access, such technologies remain out of reach and impractical for the average consumer. This in turn limits access to the content iLearningGlobal provides to the user’s home or office computer.

It is a fact that in today’s busy world, most consumers prefer to take their entertainment with them, listening to MP3s in their car or while working out. It is doubtful that iLearningGlobal will offer downloads of their content to their users, since allowing downloadable content would cut into the retail sales their authors and contributors rely on for the majority of their income. Thus, this limits the access users will have to their content, which could result in high attrition and poor retention. With retention being a necessity for autoship based compensation plans, it could make it difficult for distributors to build strong and solid downlines in their organizations.

5. iLearningGlobal Requires You To Build A Large Downline To Make A Significant Income. In order to make any sort of significant income with iLearningGlobal, a distributor would have to build an organization of many first level distributors, who then in turn build their organizations many levels deep.

Past history with companies such as Amway and Herbalife has proven that this is possible, but not probable, for the average distributor. Generally speaking, it takes many years to build such an organization, if the distributor is in fact ever able to do so.

The Truth About iLearningGlobal

While iLearningGlobal does look to become a player in the network marketing industry, it still follows an outdated business model that makes success extremely unlikely for the average distributor. Considering the fact that there are much better alternatives, such as the G.P.T. model, it would be advisable for all but the most experienced and skilled network marketers to steer clear of this opportunity.
