Misinformation is circulating about Crowd1, and the information is often inaccurate and misleading. Crowd1 is portrayed and accused of being a scam, pyramid scheme, and bluff and has recently been scrutinized by several media outlets and authorities. Authorities in certain countries have even prevented Crowd1 from offering services and membership registration in their country. The following article is intended to oppose, challenge, and to clarify the accusations imposed on Crowd1.
The definition of a pyramid scheme is a fraudulent system where the financial capital only comes from the affiliation and recruitment of an ever-increasing amount of members. In a pyramid scheme, the recruiter of the new members is monetarily compensated as the new affiliate invests in the business and affiliates more members or when it purchases products or inventory from the business. The model is called a pyramid scheme since all the accumulated financial capital ascends towards the assemblage of people that entered the business in the beginning. With Crowd1crow, it does not cost anything to become a member and members do not make money by involving others into the Crowd1 community nor does members sell products to each other. The financial capital is accumulated when your Crowd1 network sells or markets the products or services of the Crowd1 partners.
During Crowd1 pre-launch, Crowd1 had a limited number of products, but at least it was always about the products, the main intention of the Crowd1 business was never strictly on the money. The affiliation process and inclusion of new members to the Crowd1 sales network was, therefore, never the central aspect of the Crowd1 legit business model. On July 4, Crowd1 launched several new products for the Crowd1 sales network, including SAfer and LifeTRNDS, and throughout 2020 Crowd1 will be launching even more products that the members can build companies around, sell, recommend, or consume.
The MLM industry is heavily criticized and there is an underlying suspicion towards almost all companies that operate within the industry. This is primarily caused by the fact that there, unfortunately, have been several unserious parties with malicious intent that have been attracted to the industry which makes it difficult for serious companies to create long-term and sustainable businesses. The MLM industry is complicated and intricate, which is a prominent factor in why Crowd1 is sometimes defined and portrayed as a pyramid scheme. The incompetence and unwillingness to learn about the industry are factors as to why media outlets and authorities are drawing incorrect conclusions and parallels to other companies with a dark past. This generally makes the narration of the Crowd1 exposed reviews one-sided, not including factors that could potentially refute the opposing arguments to Crowd1 scam.
Most multinational companies today have some form of incentive for existing customers to recommend and to affiliate new customers to them, by for instance offering them discounts and other types of beneficial rewards. However, since Crowd1 is operating within the MLM industry, the affiliation process of Crowd1 is directly portrayed as a pyramid scheme. Crowd1 will eventually be able to get the software to developing countries that they otherwise would have waited 10-15 years for, however, such beneficial factors are rarely considered by media outlets or authorities. We have a strong community and passionate employees in the company who are as enthusiastic about this vision.
