Joy To Live
There are dozens of multilevel marketing companies out there and Joy To Live just so happens to be one of them. There are more reviews talking about the owners and their relationship rather than the products and whether or not Joy To Live is a scam so I thought I’d do a review myself
I would like to give my two cents so I did my own Joy To Live review and I hope you can get the best understanding about this program that you couldn’t get from anyone else who was doing nothing but trying to promote their business without telling you the cold hard facts.
Don’t get me wrong, I love how they want to make money and I have nothing against them trying to make sales but I think you can get a better understanding from someone who is not affiliated with Joy To Live. Here are my thoughts on exactly what this business is all about
Product Overview
Joy To Live is nothing more than another multilevel marketing business and what most people consider a lotions and potions business or some type of pyramid scheme.
Just like any other MLM you’ve come across, Joy To Live has their own product line as well as a compensation plan that you can use if you do decide to get involved with the business side of things.
It is almost impossible for anyone not to believe that every single one of these are a scam, but that’s just how it goes. Personally I think that there are companies like Amway that have been around for decades and should be shutdown by now if they were a scam.
The Products
I don’t want to leave you here with a bunch of useless nonsense so let’s get right into things. First things first, we have the Joy To Live products. Usually with any lotions and potions business, the products are a little less than mediocre but let’s see what these products are really worth.
These guys have come up with a couple of products in the health and wellness industry that of course have the most controversy especially with the whole “is it safe” side of things.
Joy to live only has a couple of products that might interest you although I can’t tell you how effective or not each are because I really can’t use most of the products here and I don’t trust most.
Just like most MLM’s they have their little line of daily vitamins and nutritional products that will do nothing more than provide your body with the nutrients it needs to get you through the day.
Of course you are going to have the questions about if it works or not but with my experiences, most of them are not as good as they claim to be.
♦ Nutritional
- Elixir Blast – Nutritional supplement (vitamins)
- Aerobia – Oxygen drink but has a very controversial supplement
- Inner Joy – Helps with digestive related issues and helps reduce allergies
- LeJoyva Coffee – Instant coffee
♦ Detoxify
- Neurtra Cleanse – Detox capsules
- Optimum – Appetite suppressant and fat burner
- Ionic Silver – Helps with immunity
- Pure Green – Antioxidant, appetite suppressor, energy booster
♦ Anti-Aging
- Affinity – Boosts immune system
- Fulvia – Improve strength and immune system
- Lissome – Anti-aging skin cream
* Teeth Whitening system – Along with the coffee, this is one of the other things that I was most interested.
If you didn’t notice, most of these products all help with the immune system and some type of energy boosting type outcome. To me, it’s like they just made more products so that they can extend their lineup and have more to offer for it’s reps to promote.
Unlike companies like Nerium that focus only on anti-aging cream and Vidacup that promote nothing but coffee, JTL has decided to add both and then some.
The Business Side of things
Just like any other multilevel marketing business you’ve seen, these guys have their nice little comp plan from which you can earn money as a partner with the company.
You can just purchase products through their retail store which of course is going to cost you more than if you were a brand promotor. If you join to promote and use the products then that would be your best bet.
I remember when I used to enjoy comp plans until I got involved with online marketing and that’s when I kicked the whole “get 3 and your free” type nonsense that comes with this business.
One thing about the pay with JTL is that you are paid instantly. Usually you would have to wait until the end of the month or something, but these guys pay on the spot.
If you have ever done any type of business like this, you will know that it doesn’t matter if you get paid today, tomorrow or at the end of the month it is not easy to make money with them. I’m not going to sit here and tell you how much you can make if you signup Joe, Sarah, and Mark because I’m not here to recruit you.
How Much Does Joy To Live Cost to Get Started?
Most of you are probably wondering how much these nutritional supplements and what not would cost you because it is not expected to be cheap.
With Joy To Live they have their “Why 22” factor, which will show you more on their motto and why they do it.
Other than that, you can start off with products for as low as $33. The business kits start at $99, which is very decent compared to most MLMs.
Being that you only need to spend $22 means a lot of savings but don’t expect to be making a killing if you signup 5 people. At least you know you won’t be overstocked with products!
To hit the ground running with this business it will cost you $38.55. I am no fan of MLM but that is one of the cheapest startup costs I’ve ever seen.
Who Wants Drama?
If you haven’t come across other reviews of JTL some of them talk about the problems that the owners had and how so and so owes so and so and everything went to court.
To me, that has nothing to do with the business and the products so that’s why I didn’t mention anything about that.
Another thing that too many people get wrapped around is the whole partnership with Elite Marketing Alliance. EMA is associated with JTL even if they are not on the same IP address or don’t feature the owner (Gerald Ricks) on their site they are together. What does that have to do with the price of eggs?
I wouldn’t worry too much about stuff like this but it is very well expected with any MLM business and I think too many people worry about nonsense rather than trying to make money. If you want drama then you might want to keep up with the Kardashians.
Pros & Cons
With every business whether it’s online or offline, they all come with an upside and a downside to things and Joy To Live is no different. Here are what I think are good and bad about this company.
Pros:
- Comes with products
- Can make you money
- Earnings are paid INSTANTLY
- Low monthly cost ($22 to remain “commission qualified”)
- Won’t be overstocked with products
Cons:
- Is MLM
- Is not easy
- Requires recruiting
- Some products are very unnecessary
- Is apart of the pyramid style business
Final Verdict
In my opinion, Joy To Live is nothing more than another MLM business and actually gives regular people a chance to make a little more money. It is not a scam, but it does work in a pyramid style business.
The problem I have with companies like this is the fact that it is not easy. Everyone and their mothers are all trying to push out their products and tell you why it’s better than most but the cycle will never end.
I couldn’t find an income disclaimer for Joy To Live but it is very important that you understand one. Whether you want to believe it or not, every single one of these companies have almost identical statistics, which a big fat 1% will be making most of the money.
Then where does that leave you? With nothing but false hope and shattered dreams because your up-line didn’t want to tell you everything you should know because they just want to make a couple more off of you by getting you in their downline.
What I think
Unless you are very good (and I mean VERY good) at the whole recruiting thing, then you should stay away from programs like this. Trust me guys, there aren’t many people making full-time incomes with this and most aren’t even making $1,000 a year!
If you do feel that you can make this work and you actually think that these products can help you create a successful work from home business then that’s awesome!
Personally I do affiliate marketing and it is probably the best way for anyone to make money from home. There’s no recruiting and losing of friends and family all because they’re tired of your nonsense. See what program I recommend here if you would like to see more on how you can get started for free.
Most people think businesses like this are nothing but a pyramid scheme but I think it’s a great way for people to try and make something of themselves especially with most people that don’t have the right mindset to becoming successful. If you do decide to take on this multilevel marketing business or just purchase the products I wish you nothing but success.
I hope you enjoyed my review of Joy To Live and hopefully I have helped you get a better understanding of this program and how it works. Please leave your thoughts below and let me know what you think.
