My Power Mall Business Review
Ok I am sure this My Power Mall Review post is going to get me a load of hate mail, however I can not stand to sit back and watch all of these people waste their time any longer.
AS with any business, you have the people who work the business very hard and fail and you have the people who are brainwashed into thinking they are going to make a 6 figure income. The ones who truly believe all of the garbage the CEO of a company puts out are generally the ones who get very defensive and angry when the truth or ones opinion is stated.
So with that sai, here is my opinion and review of the My Power Mall opportunity.
People ask me all of the time if I think My Power Mall is a scam. To be honest it is not what I would call a scam, but I would say it is not a straight up opportunity, simply because My Power Mall wants you to think that you join this business for free and make this great income, that no one really will ever see.
Claims are made that people can make $4000 a month easily, and that is as far from the truth as telling you I am sitting in my million dollar mansion typing this email on a $200,000 PC.
The presentation given to people who seek info on the My Power Mall business is deceptive and leads people into thinking they can start their own business from home and make a great income.
What is My Power Mall?
In a simple answer… My Power Mall claims to be an opportunity that will allow people to share My Power mall is nothing more than a website that is full of affiliate links. That website is replicated for all My Power Mall associates. When people order from those websites My Power Mall makes a commission and then My Power mall claims to give associates a % of what they profited.
The company claims they are not a MLM business, yet associates are paid on tiers, just like the MLM system. Now, I do not think that is a bad thing becuase you can make a great income in MLM if you are involved with an Ethical company with a good comp plan. I am only stating that to show you how the deception begins.
So how do My Power Mall associates make money? Well they are encouraged to share their mall website with family and friends and also encouraged to recruit new associates. When people make purchases from their websites they are offered a TINY commission.
Associates who spend $150 a month on their My Power Mall websites will earn….. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? I NEED A DRUM ROLL HERE, THESE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF.
$.69. No that is not $69, it is $.69. Yes I mean CENTS.
If that excited you, I am sorry but you apparently do not realize that you will never make any real money with this business.
That does not even equal 1% commissions.
The only way associated can make more than that is to recruit.
Since the business is set up on tiers you will need to fill many levels to see any exciting income here.
On Tier 2 if you have 10 people each spending $150 that will generate $1.41for a total of $14.10. That would equal $1500.00. Again, that total of $14.10 profit does not even equal 1% commissions.
On Tier 3 you need to have 100 people generating spending $150 that will generate $2.85 each for a total of $285 a month. That would equal $15,000 a month needed in sales to make $285.
Now, your average person who starts a home based business will never even have 100 customers. Ok, so some heavy hitters will so, lets look at the next set for income.
On Tier 4 you need 1000 people spending $150 to generate $3.56 for a total of $3560.00.
Now, if you are not family with ,multi levels so far, in order to make the income I just stated, you need to have 10 people on tier 2, 100 people on tier 3, and 1000 people on tier 4. That would mean you need a total of 1110 people in your downline to make any where near $4000 a month.
Point blank people are not going to be able to get 100 people spending $150 a month much less over 1000. No marketer in their right mind would bust their ass to make barely nothing.
In order to fill the tiers, you will need money. YEP, becuase you will need to be able to advertise. Good advertising cost money and in my opinion anyone would be crazy to spend their hard earned money advertising an opportunity to make nickels and dimes.
Most home businesses with products offer $20-50% commissions! My Power Mall is no where near that.
So, to close this up, if you want shop online, you would profit more from ordering off rebate websites than to order via a my power mall site. I would rather shop online and save money right then instead of having to waste my time talking other people into doing the business just to make a few cents.
You may get a rebate, once you are owed more than $25. Go back up and look at the numbers. You need 10 people each spending $150 on your 2nd tier to make $14.10. So, you would not even get a check for those sales, you would be required to repeat the same thing again next month.
I personally know several people who have extensive background in network marketing who took a look at the business and laughed. I also know several stay at home moms who were sucked into the My Power Mall business opportunity who have spent many hours on the business and never made a dime.
I have NEVER found anyone that is an associate who has even made $100!
I would tell anyone looking into My Power Mall as a serious business to not even waste their time. There is not enough revenue for the time it will take to promote. You would be better off joining a bunch of affiliate programs and just having your friends order from your affiliate links and you would make more money because you would be 100% of the profit instead of the tiny % My Power Mall offers associates.

You mean you DON’T have a $200,000 PC?
Sites like the above have been around ever since people have wanted to learn how to make money on the Internet, alas. “Selling the dream” has to be one of the most profitable (and dishonest) means that certain online sectors concentrate!!
I’ve been making a living online now since 1998 and firmly believe the ONLY way you can really be successful is to sing your own song, carve out your own niche, take ownership of all your actions (ie, tools, etc.) and really *learn* the skills necessary. Buying into malls or other virtual real estates doesn’t cut it at all, because you’re the secondary concern in that equation.
Super review,
Barbara

Babara;
No, I do not have a 200,000 PC, but it sure sounded good!
Your right, those types of companies sell a dream. It kills me to see so many people out there really trying to make something of the business, and it just is not going to happen. The only thing they will do is waste allot of time.

Hmmm. Very Interesting.
I’ve noticed adverts for power mall cropping up like weeds. And frankly was curious. Not curious as in wanting to sign up. But curious as in what was the con. Having been online for a decade, I could see it was probably not good.
The motivation for people to give this a shot is not the dream. What makes people sign up is it looks EASY! People who are not knowledgeable, and a wee bit gullible, see an opportunity to make what looks like easy money.
Veteran police who run the bunko squad (con game busters), will tell you that the only people who can be taken advantage of are those people looking for something for nothing. There’s no free lunch.
Now, I’m curious. How did you gain your insight into power mall?

C.W. Wyatt,
Your right it does look easy. But it looks so easy that everyone who has a dream of working from home, hop on it because it looks easy and free. For some reason people still believe that something free is always something good. A free business sounds good, and that is why My Power Mall has thousands of people who join, thousands who do nothing and thousands who will never make a dime of money.
I learned allot about My Power Mall a few different ways. I know a few people who joined the company several months ago to see how the business was and I admit…..I joined myself so I could get the real facts about the company, the comp plan and find out exactly what the truth was behind the hype of My Power Mall.

My Power Mall is a joke, and I never received the $60 rebate commission I earned by buying a year’s web hosting through My Power Mall. So many people have fallen for this but have wasted hours, days, weeks, and have nothing to show for it.
