What Is the IBO of ACN?
If you join and find just five friends, you might get these services for free! The ACN opportunity doesn’t end with free services; you can earn residual income with ‘your own online ACN business. You’ll get a commission every time your referrals pay a bill. It doesn’t end there; you can also earn from their referrals. So like any MLM business, the more you recruit, the more money you make.
How Do I become a member of ACN?
To become an independent business owner ( IBO ) with ACN, and become a member of ACN, you first need to fill out the ACN individual business owner agreement form. https://acn.com/us-en/opportunity
An “application fee” of $499 must be paid on submission of your application form.
On becoming an IBO, you will have access to your website, where you can sell your services to potential customers.
However, you will not be a team member of ACN but an independent business owner.
You can make your schedule as this will be your own business
How Does ACN Compensation Plan Work
There are essentially three ways to earn income with ACN.
Personal Residuals:
Personal residual compensation includes the percentage of income you receive based on the five customers you acquire through their service plans with ACN. You will be paid between 2%-8% of your customer’s total monthly bills.+ you may also get your service free.
For example, if your customers use $1,000 a month in ACN services, you’ll get paid 2% or $20 of that $1,000.per month through that one customer.
Team Residuals:
The ACN team residual compensation includes the percentage of income you receive based on your recruits recruiting their recruits.
This is a 7-level uni plan, meaning that typically your recruits stay on your 1st level, their recruits go on your 2nd level, and so on, all the way down to 7 levels. You earn 0.25% on levels 2-5, 1% on level 6, and 6% on level 7.Customer Acquisition Bonuses:
Customer acquisition bonuses are a one-time, up-front bonus you are paid for recruiting new customers to ACN.
When you help a personal sponsor become a team trainer, you will receive a bonus of $90-$275, depending on your leadership rank.
For you to become a team trainer, your sponsor must enroll for $499 and then recruit their first 6-8 customers within an allotted time frame.
I have left a video address of the ACN compensation plan in greater detail.
Is ACN Business opportunity A Scam?
ACN appears to be a legitimate company that has been around for 27 years. The company has legit services and products that people buy.
Yes, you can make money with ACN, provided that you are an outstanding salesperson and comfortable convincing people to buy into ACN plans. You should also be able to recruit people to you so that you can earn residual income.
With a large amount of competition from other service providers, the chances of making an impact and potential income remain highly questionable.
What are The Pros
- ACN is a well-established company and has been around since 1993, it operates worldwide and has over 1,500 employees
- They are also the most prominent digital sales telecommunications company in the world and they do business in 20 countries across the globe.
- ACN is based on services and products that people are already using, e.g. Internet, television, phone services, etc.
- ACN also has an A+ rating a the BBB, which is the standard mostly used by some to establish the legitimacy of a company.
What Are the Cons
It seems like just another MLM in that you make money by recruiting others to join up with ACN and become an IBO, even though you can make money by selling ACN services. You have to be an excellent salesperson and be willing to try and get people to join ACN aggressively.
My Thoughts
There are other ways to make money from home. If you are not a salesperson or do not like the thought of recruiting, you could try affiliate marketing.
I think affiliate marketing is the best way to make money from anywhere you are; all you need is a computer and a wifi connection, no person-to-person sales are involved, and no inventory to keep
According to Wikipedia, Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate marketing efforts.
