Conclusion
A go to to YEP Tribe’s web site reveals retail gross sales are clearly not a spotlight.
The primary button a customer see is “grow to be a member”, which results in affiliate recruitment.
YEP Tribe’s web site does have a “manufacturers” web page, which splits off to separate web sites.
I clicked by means of Axiom8 and located a sanitizer being offered for $59.91 for a pack of three 1 oz. bottles (30 ml).
I believe everyone seems to be considerably extra conscious of sanitizer pricing since COVID-19 surfaced in late 2019.
Axiom 8 is 99% efficient towards human coronavirus.*
*Human coronavirus just isn’t COVID19 and is a surrogate.
Evidently $59.91 for 3 oz. of sanitizer is ridiculous.
This prompted me to go try the opposite linked model web page, Flux.
Clicking Flux takes you a “store” part of YEP Tribe’s web site, which so far as I can inform is solely accessible by way of the model web page hyperlink.
Flux is dietary dietary supplements plus a water bottle. Three of those water bottles will set you again $89.
The dietary tablets are $47 further for a thirty-day provide.
You may advertising buzzword it up all you need, $89 for 3 water bottles is a tough promote.
In abstract, now we have merchandise that in my view are on no account retail viable – which explains why they’re shoved off to the facet.
YEP Tribe is about recruiting associates, having them pay for a month-to-month subscription and incomes commissions on these charges.
No details about YEP Tribe’s “retail” subscriptions are supplied on the corporate’s web site. I solely got here throughout them within the firm’s compensation documentation.
There’s a part on YEP Tribe’s web site for “memberships”, this boots you to a different web site and assumes you’re prepared to enroll.
The pseudo-compliance service is TripValet, an organization Jimmy Ezzell based again in 2017.
TripValet is the standard low cost journey companies fare, which evidently no one has been eager about for the previous yr and a half.
Even with out COVID-19 restrictions, $897 yearly only for entry to journey reductions is once more a tough promote at retail.
Cementing the core focus of YEP Tribe is associates having to have a subscription to qualify for commissions:
Your YEP Unbiased Enterprise Membership Begin-Up Charge covers the price related to establishing and servicing your small business and allows you to conduct enterprise in any nation wherein YEP operates.
It’s essential to preserve an energetic subscription with the intention to have entry to your YEP again workplace and to obtain commissionable disbursements.
That is pay to play, additional emphasised by how a lot an affiliate spends on membership dictating how a lot they’ll earn:
You may solely make as a lot as your bundle percentages permits you to make.
Regardless of the rest, pay to play in MLM is the inspiration of a pyramid scheme.
You join as a YEP Tribe affiliate, take out a subscription (pay extra, earn extra), after which receives a commission to recruit others who do the identical.
Retail might be ignored, as there are not any retail qualifiers wherever in YEP Tribe’s compensation plan. The enterprise alternative is entrance and middle, with merchandise pushed off to inactive facet web sites.
As I write this YEP Tribe’s main web site has an Alexa rating of 728,750. The standalone Axiom8 web site has a rating of 1.7 million.
This isn’t stunning. Outdoors of the buried away model graphic hyperlink, Axiom8 isn’t talked about wherever on YEP Tribe’s web site or of their compensation plan.
As a possible YEP Tribe affiliate, it is best to have the ability to confirm the shortage of retail focus your self.
Merely ask your potential upline what their retail subscription/product quantity is vs. what they’re incomes on unilevel workforce affiliate subscription quantity.
This isn’t an advanced query, so take a non-answer or hesitation as affirmation they aren’t centered on retail.
Which in flip would imply that affiliate is working their YEP Tribe enterprise as a pyramid scheme.
YEP Tribe themselves ought to be specializing in retail gross sales over recruitment, however as we’ve mentioned above that isn’t the case.
