About Marketer Matt

Hey, I’m Matt. I’ve spent the better part of two decades inside the network marketing industry. By my count, I’ve been a distributor or top affiliate in 8+ different MLM companies — everything from supplements to travel, from precious metals to wellness tech.

I’ve seen the good. I’ve seen the bad. And I’ve seen plenty of “I can’t believe I just signed up for that” moments along the way.

This site exists because I got tired of two extremes in the network marketing space.

On one side, you have promotional sites that read like recruiting brochures — every company is amazing, every comp plan is “the best,” and nobody ever talks about who is actually making money (or not). On the other side, you have aggressive critics who treat every MLM as a pyramid scheme by default and never give credit where it’s due.

The truth is in the middle. Some companies are solid businesses with legitimate products. Some are cash grabs. Some are great for consumers but terrible for builders. Some are the opposite. And the only way you find out is by getting an honest look from someone who has actually been in the trenches.

That’s what I try to do here.

What you’ll find on this site

Every company review I publish follows the same structure: hook, what the company actually is, who is behind it, the products, the compensation plan, the pros, the concerns, my honest verdict, and — when relevant — alternatives if the product is what you actually want.

I address the hard questions directly. Pyramid scheme allegations. Income disclosure realities. Lawsuits and regulatory actions. I don’t dodge them and I don’t pretend they don’t exist.

I also try to be useful beyond the review itself. If you love a company’s products but don’t want to join the business, I’ll tell you where to get comparable products. If a company is solid but the upline you’d be joining has reputation issues, I’ll mention that too.

How I make money

Transparency matters in this space, so here it is: I make money two ways. First, through affiliate commissions when readers click through to companies or training programs I recommend (you can read the full affiliate disclosure for details). Second, through my own network marketing distributorships when readers decide a company is right for them and want to join under someone honest.

I don’t get paid for positive reviews. I won’t write a positive review of a company I think is a bad fit for most people, even if they offer me money to do it. The trust this site builds is worth more than any single payout.

The Sponsoring System

The bigger thing I teach — separate from any individual company — is what I call The Sponsoring System. It’s the digital marketing approach I use to build any network marketing business without hitting up friends and family, posting hype on social media, or doing the things that make most people quit MLM within their first 90 days.

It’s not a course I’m selling you on this page. It’s a free email series. If you want it, the signup is in the sidebar of every post.

Reach out

If you have a company you’d like me to review, a correction to a review I’ve published, or a question about anything in this space, I read every email. The site is small enough that you’ll get a response from me personally.

Thanks for being here.

— Matt
