Success University is primarily an online business opportunity. The product is ‘personal development’ training via an online training center. This program is a mixture of mlm (you have a direct sponsor; you will need to recruit large numbers of downline members, and create two balanced legs) and affiliate marketing (you will do the bulk of your recruitment on the internet, using your affiliate links).
Members can access over 200 courses from top speakers and trainers. These industry experts come from many different sectors, such as real estate, network marketing, internet marketing and wellness. The learning center has been designed to assist you in becoming more successful in your relationships, your health & fitness, your spiritual life, your financial life and your career. According to a report by Marketdata published in February 2004, the U.S. Market For Self-Improvement Products is worth $8.5 billion. (I could not locate data for 2007, but my guess is that the numbers are even larger)
Speakers and coaches in Success University include:
Cost for membership is $49.95/month. A fourteen-day trial period is available for $2.00.
Pros:
Low cost of entry. No physical product to buy or stock. Capitalizes on the multi-billion dollar personal development industry.
Cons:
Large downlines will have to be created in order to create substantial income. This is the normal challenge of any mlm opportunity. The member is required to maintain their monthly membership of $49.95, in order to receive commissions. Does require some internet marketing skills; also additional funds will be needed monthly to advertise online and offline.
