Free Store Club

Pros and Cons -   This company has been around for several years selling a wide range of discounted goods both wholesale and retail. The great advantage of FSC is the free to join tag. Members at any time can upgrade to Silver, Gold or Platinum status. In order to receive income they must either sell goods from their stores and/or recruit paying members towards their downlines. Pros - Upon joining, a program titled FSC Boss can be downloaded which has sections such as back office, membership, messages, marketing and so forth. In Boss, members receive a comprehensive free 7 day online training course that describes how Exact Method Marketing (EMM) is better than the tradition MLM�s. While surfing online you will see this come up many times � �Why do 95% of people in MLM companies fail�. Most people are not good salespeople or dread the thought of cold calling potential members. EMM is duplicatable, where everybody is doing the same thing. You do not need to be salespeople in the traditional sense. Members receive 3 duplicatable websites such as retail, wholesale and The Trading post where secondhand goods are traded. Everything to start a business and sell products is setup for you to go. Members just need to spend the time with marketing FSC stores and/or the store products themselves. Cons - EMM seems good in principal, but the downside is in the member downline system. After a member joins, any overflows from above them will start to fill out one leg of that member�s downline. The problem is being able to fill out both right and left legs of the matrix with members. This seems to continue the public image of MLM, in that those at the top receive most of the money, where upon those lower down miss most of the dollars.

Recommended?   My few weeks� personal experience with FSC indicates many website visitors, but poor potential member interest. Reports of selling individual store products are more favorable. www.programcritique.com does not give confidence to the EMM system.
