2-up programs have been around for a few years, which might make you think they are OK. Think again. Most people need to run as far away as they can, as fast as they can.
Here is how they work.
There will be some kind of ad - TV, print, internet, phone, whatever. The pressure to join is relentless - they are skilled in making you think you are really blowing the opportunity of a lifetime if you don't sign up RIGHT NOW! That ought to be a big red warning flag right there. If the offer isn't as good tomorrow or next week as it is right now, it isn't any good at all.
Anyway, if your resistance folds and you sign up, you are frequently if not always into the program for $1000-$2000 up front. You get your money back by selling the opportunity to others. There is a product of some sort so they skate barely on the legal side of the Ponzi issue, but you make your money selling the opportunity to others.
Unfortunately there are just enough people who are able to make it work that the desperate wannabes are drawn like moths to a flame in the hopes of escaping their intolerable lives and living a better one.
The catch ~ and why the offers are called 2-ups ~ is that the commissions from your first 2 sales go to your upline sponsor! Most people who get involved in this type of thing are not natural-born sales people, have few if any sales skills, and have no chance whatsoever of convincing a total stranger that parting with $2000 hard-earned dollars is a good idea.
Therefore they turn to their "warm market" aka friends and family. Or should I say former friends and family. Before this comes to a pitiful end, the poor hopeful soul will have totally alienated everyone he or she knows, probably without making a sale. Not only that, but the upline sponsor is all over their case because they haven't produced any commissions and "what the heck is the matter with you anyway can't you try a little harder?"
In the end the once hopeful person is out $1000-$2000 and the laughing stock of the family - circle of friends.
Here is a list of just a few of these programs in alphabetical order:
