The Pros And Cons Of Advocare

by Lance Thorington(9)


Advocare was first established in 1993 as a weight loss and nutrition company which does base itself on network marketing which is otherwise known as multi level marketing. The name itself comes from their desire to advocate and care for their marketers and help them to end up with not only better health but a well run, successful business.

The main product associated with it is called their Slimpact bundle which is a nutritional and weight loss pack which does retail at over one hundred dollars. They follow this up with a wide range of other products designed to help improve the health of your body and of course if you sell the products you do get them for a slightly better price.

One of the advantages of using a company such as Advocare is that they are very well established and do have a track record that you can easily check up on. This should therefore make you feel more confident in potentially running your own business as others are more likely to have also heard about them and it does increase your chances of them buying the products.

This particular market is valued in the billions of dollars so there is always new business out there as long as you are willing to put in the work. You do get good support from the parent company but it is up to you to do the rest in order to make any money from this kind of venture.

One downside is the lack of information from the company themselves about the profit margins that you can make so it is therefore difficult to predict in advance how much you may end up earning. It is normal in this kind of industry for you to earn on the initial order and then if they continue to order the same product every month then you earn residual income.

The real downside is that often to really make a good income you do need to build your downline which is of course the main aim of multi level marketing. This increases your chances of getting additional sales and it is quite common for someone you have sold a product to initially to then start selling themselves.

You therefore need to have a clear plan as to what you intend to do before you see about signing up with them and if you do not already know too much about nutrition you are best to try and learn a few things. Look at becoming the absolute authority amongst your group or area within this field as this should really help to boost your potential sales.

So if you are looking at becoming involved in the weight loss and nutrition business then you could do a lot worse than going with Advocare. They are certainly not a scam and have a good track record so you really have nothing to worry about but just remember that there is no guarantee of making money at any point unless you put in the hours.
