Yes I do explain there are multiple ways to reach the 90 volume within the review. Yes people who dedicate more time will see better results, but when there’s a jump from averaging pennies by selling the products to 5-6 figures by selling the opportunity, I think it’s pretty clear where the money is (no matter how hard you’re working). I’m glad that you are happy with the way it’s working out for you and which you the best of luck.

You obviously did not read the article. I fully understand how people make money with WUN, and that is why I believe it’s a pyramid scheme.

Stating that the “correct” answer is that one way to become a IBO is to sell products, but that most people choose to purchase the package because it’s faster isn’t any different than the “cope out” answer I gave. I’m really not quite sure what you’re accusing me of here.

Wake Up Now sucks people into paying for a monthly package bundle of savings and software packages that you can either:

A.) Find for 100% free (like on Google), or
B.) Purhase elsewhere without buying into a monthly subscription

How are these reasons senseless? It makes sense to me that I would want to avoid paying for something I can get for free.

The point of me stating that “saving money is not making money” was that for a business opportunity that claims such high profit potential, there certainly doesn’t seem to be anybody using/selling the products that is making money. The sales pitch makes it seem like saving money is the secret to success and ONLY possible through their hub… but simply having access to their savings hub and selling the products to others isn’t making anybody money… it’s selling the opportunity that is the profit maker and therefore the reason why this is a type of pyramid program.

I hope the FTC does come after them, but unfortunately the system isn’t perfect. Take a look at Amway… they’ve been around for 50+ years and have had multiple investigations with the federal trade commission. These resulted in regulations and huge fines, but ultimately they remain in business.

Wendy, you cannot say one thing then try and justify it with a lame reasoning. You were told that all you have to do is sell the products and you can become a IBO if you wish to. you then say, well yeah but the easiest way is just to purchase the package. That’s a cop out answer. . the correct answer is Yes, that is one way but most folks are just purchasing the package cause it faster that way or they chose to build the business. If you chose to build the business then yes, you are going to seek customers and others who will like to have a home base business also. wake up now does not say, saving money is making money. who started that. It was not wake up now. wake up now goal is to Save you money. period. help people manage their money, period and then make you money, money. its not written anywhere on their corporate material saving money is making money. if so please leave a link. There is a difference in the two statements. If they are operating like a PS then the FTC will be at them soon also. please provide intelligent reasons for the reason one may not need the products, yours were elementary or senseless. No i’m not in wUN. I dont like to read things that are not 100% correct either.

This person that wrote this article has no clue what so ever how to make money with this product. Do your own research. Go on youtube. Learn how you PROFIT off of this. The savings is just a FEATURE on the HUB. Its Not how you Make money.

You can pick and choose how you teach your 90 volume. You can also line up people who sign up under you, either as an ibo or preferred customer. I had 12 preferred customers that bought a variety of service and products to reach my personal volume. I am a director 3 making 600$ a month with the company.
If you look closely at the income disclosure there is a line that sys the amount of time dedicated to the company. Most of the people not making any money aren’t putting in the time to promote the products and services.

Yeah well you have to reach a volume of 90 in order to become an IBO and the easiest way is to just purchase the platinum package. Yes you can sell it to others to reach the 90 volume… but like you said finding others to sell to is difficult. If you’re trying to sell something you’re not even willing to purchase yourself, you’ll probably have a really hard time convincing others to buy it, don’t you think?

Thank you for this!
I have several friends who have been suckered into this nonsense and now I have this lovely page to validate my look of disdain when the subject inevitably comes up.
Well done.

You do realize that WakeUpNow is also FREE to join, right?! And, on top of that, the website even tells you that you don’t have to pay a penny to become an IBO. Not a lot of people will tell you this, but I like to do my research and I do it well!!! If nobody buys or purchases a product, you won’t get anywhere with WakeUpNow, but if someone buys a $65 product and someone purchased the $25 product, you’re already approaching that $99 or $100 mark with just those two. Although, finding those people seem to be the most difficult part, but there are people who are joining teams everyday! I see it all the time on Facebook LOL

I don’t know and am not a WUN IBO, but I just like for people to know EVERYTHING about a company like MCA and WUN, not just the cons. Oh, and, nice article by the way.
