The majority of holistic websites for pets are now promoting Transfer Factor Plus for dogs, and Life's Abundance dog food. Both of these products are owned by the big boys of MLM, 4life.com (healthypetnet.com) and Trilogy International. I realized this the other day, while reading a well known holistic website for dogs. The sales copy was so good, and so sincere, it had me convinced that there was no way I could possibly live without transfer factor plus any longer. As I clicked the link to purchase all the transfer factor plus I could possibly get my paws on, I came to a very MLMish looking site (4life.com).
These sites just have that MLMish "look", hard to explain. On the top of the page, there was an "opportunity" button. I clicked to learn more, and found out that if I wanted to be a distributor, I would make up to 64% commission! The transfer factor plus wasn't looking as good at that point. If the distributor could get 64%, you know 4life.com is getting their cut, people have to get paid that actually make it, and what about the cost of packaging? What is transfer factor plus really worth? I am also familiar with how MLM works, the first rule is to be unbelievably thrilled and excited about the product. It makes people want to buy, buy, buy. I was surprised to learn Life's Abundance dog food is MLM as well.
I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, it is all the buzz on the internet. If you Google Life's Abundance dog food, you will come up with 54,200 results all to websites that pretty much say the same thing, and most lead back to Trilogy International. I'm not trying to say Life's Abundance dog food isn't good, I don't really know, but MLM dog food? I'm worried about the long term effects of this on your dog. What if your dog starts calling long distance for phone conferences and giving out pamphlets to complete strangers?
