So How Much Money Can I make with American Gold Reserve?
Well, this is the big question. And truthfully, only time will tell. Traditionally bullion MLM’s have run into a very basic problem. Mark up your product to much and you have priced yourself out of the market, maintain competitive pricing and there is very little money to compensate your reps. Ultimately volume will be the determining factor as to whether or not American Gold Reserve affiliates can generate some sizeable paychecks. There is very little forced volume as an affiliate is only required to purchase…or sell around $80 of AGR product in order to be eligible for compensation in there 3×9 matrix. So the question remains will a great deal of people be buying from American Gold Reserve, and furthermore will they be buying quantities that considerably exceed the monthly requirements.
My Take On American Gold Reserve
After listening in to some of AGR’s conference calls and speaking with some of their affiliates I have carefully formed my own opinion on American Gold Reserve. Here is the deal, if you are looking for a life changing income only time will tell whether that American Gold Reserve can be your vehicle to achieving it. There is very little money to go around, so major volume is going to be necessary. That being said, the demand for gold and silver has never been higher, so American Gold Reserve’s timing is certainly ideal. I don’t see American Gold Reserve as the home for those looking to make a massive income in MLM. I look at American Gold Reserve as a vehicle for people to help themselves and help each other get the best pricing possible on gold and silver. Look at it this way, if you were buying $200 of competitively priced gold or silver and receiving any size commission check whether it be $5 or $100 you are now offsetting the price you paid for the gold or silver, and in turn getting gold and silver cheaper than anywhere else. Likewise, you can save money on your taxes by having a home business. Consider that another discount on your gold and silver. Plain and simple, if you were already buying gold and silver then AGR makes sense, if you are thinking about buying gold and silver then AGR makes sense, if you are looking for a full time income and beyond in Network Marketing then AGR does not have my vote, but time may prove me wrong.
