Is myEcon a Pyramid Scheme or Scam?
This company is not a scam and not a pyramid scheme. In every multi-level marketing review that I do, I have to remind folks what a real pyramid scheme is and myEcon is not one of them.
A pyramid scheme is a business model that recruits members with the promise of payments or services only when they sign up other members into the scheme. There is no real product or service to stand behind and the sole purpose is to separate members from their money.
With myEcon you have solid products and services. They might not be one of the top ranked mlm companies by revenue or one of the fastest growing mlm companies in the industry.
But the fact of the matter is, you have some members who have no desire to recruit other members as part of the business opportunity. And are happy with using one of their myEcon’s products such as myCredit System to boost their credit only.
Better Business Bureau
The company has been accredited with the BBB since 2018 and has an A+ rating. They claim to have over 50,000 independent marketing associates at the time of this review.
As far as revenues, according to Business for Home the company has been stagnant for the past 3 years. Here’s a quick look at the revenue numbers from their site.
Revenue
2018: $5 million
2017: $5 million
2016: $5 million
Pros and Cons of myEcon
Pros
- Weekly commissions and the company pays really well at $100 per personal sale and 4 other ways to earn in their updated comp plan at the time of this review.
- Low cost to get started. Under $100 to start a business is insanely cheap.
- A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau.
- Most of the reviews are mostly positive with only a few negatives.
- It’s multi-level marketing so you have a lot of people who blame everything on the company. But their business model and product portfolio is solid.
- Great market they’re in with the financial education market.
Cons
- Their web tools aren’t very good. So you’d need to bring your own marketing skillset to the table.
- Training depends a lot on your upline. So it’s important to join with the right person.
- Their products are expensive as with most mlms where the products and services are marked up significantly.
- Their products are solid, but not sure if they are differentiated from the rest of the market.
- This opportunity is only in the US and not in other markets.
- Their products don’t relate to each other. From coffee and health and wellness to financial advice to travel. They don’t compliment each other.
Conclusion
After reviewing myEcon, I think they have a solid opportunity. With so many people struggling financially, their business model makes sense. Get more cashflow and learn through better financial strategies how to improve your financial future. I like their mission.
Most people despise mlm companies. So if they joined under the notion that the company was just a credit solution company for example and then heard about recruiting, they’d probably freak out.
In the end, I recommend giving it a try for yourself and seeing what it’s all about. It doesn’t sound like a pyramid scheme or scam to me. And I’d only work with people who are a fan of multi-level marketing and not waste time with the rest.
