Because of my extensive experience in both business and marketing, I am often asked my opinion of many companies and whether or not they are worth pursuing. One company that I have recently been asked about is the health and wellness company, Herbalife, and whether or not it is a scam. So I decided to conduct some research and provide an unbiased review.

Company:- Herbalife was founded in 1980 by Mark Hughes who started selling his products from the trunk of his car. Just two years later his company became international with annual sales reaching $1 billion. The company now employs over 3500 people, with over 240,000 distributors around the world.

Products:-The herbalife product line consists of a variety of nutritional and weight loss products.

Business:- This is where people start to become wary of the Herbalife Scam and whether or not that is the case. Herbalife is in fact a network marketing company and distributors sell the products and recruit people to join their team and build their business. Being a network marketing company in no way makes a company a scam but because many people in the company choose to market the business opportunity first and then the products, some people see that as a red flag to a scam. The other problem is that their business system relies heavily upon recruiting new people in order to make money so a person’s entire success in the company comes down to how large they are able to grow their downline.

Conclusion:- From what I can observe, Herbalife is not a scam, however there does appear to be much about it which would make making money with their system quite difficult. They do have great products, but if you are looking for a business which does not rely heavily on the constant recruiting of new team members to make money, I would suggest looking online for a marketing company which will teach you how to drive traffic to you and your website instead of vice versa; a much more effective way of building a business and making significant money online!
