I have lots of experience with multilevel marketing programs, but if you do not have that experience a MLM compensation plan can be a bit confusing, and the Ardyss compensation plan is no different. There is tons of jargon involved in a compensation plan, and while they all have similar ideas each plan will change the specific terms they use, hence the confusion for novices.

The first part of the Ardyss compensation plan, or any MLM compensation package, is the retail profits. When you become an MLM distributor you essentially purchase product at wholesale, then sell it for retail, pocketing the difference.

The suggested retail mark up for Ardyss products is 40 percent, and that is no small slice. While it might be tempting to try cutting your profit margin in an attempt to boost volume, undercutting is not necessary for boosting sales in multilevel marketing.

With effective marketing you should have no problem moving your product at the suggested retail price. Not only will you not have to worry about upsetting other distributors, you will be increasing your own earnings by boosting your volume without cutting into your profit margin.

The Ardyss compensation plan awards promotions they same way that any MLM plan does, which is based on monthly wholesale orders for you and your network. Getting promoted will allow you to increase the number of people in your downline network that you can get commissions for, and that is obviously a good thing.

Since recruiter’s commissions are based on the whole sale orders of their recruits, the more recruits, and the more active they are, the more money you make. As you build your network and climb the promotion ladder you begin to receive commissions from network members farther and farther from you, and that is where you can start making big money.

On top of these relatively normal provisions, the Ardyss compensation plan also includes a number of bonuses. You are eligible for bonuses for recruiting new distributors, for the orders made by your recruits, and meeting certain sales goals on the group and personal level.

If you want to reach the top of the Ardyss compensation plan, or any MLM Business, you will need to understand how to market well. A solid grasp of marketing principles will not only improve your results, it will help you guide your recruits to better results, too, which means more commissions for you.

I always look at the same three things when evaluating a multilevel marketing business, the product, the company and the marketing materials. By using the same system consistently I find it easier to make objective assessments about a given program or product.

I want to be focusing on the Ardyss brochures that distributors can use in this article, so I’ll be moving quickly through my discussion of the product and company. Away we go.

First off there is not one Ardyss product there are many. They not only have their line of body reshaping garments they also have their health supplement and skin care product lines as well.

A program with the number of options that Ardyss has is certainly good, but both health supplement and skin care are fiercely competitive industries. Unique is always best when looking at a product.

The company Ardyss has been operating for over 20 years if you go back to the small business that would eventually become the Ardyss Corporation. They started with their body reshaping garments, which means they have got tons of experience in that field under the belt, a definite “plus.”

Now for the important stuff, as far as this article is concerned, the marketing materials. There are a number of Ardyss brochures available to distributors. Distributors can use the brochures to both print hard copies and to make available on their websites in a digital format like the .pdf file. These can definitely be handy, and I am inclined to think they are better than most testimonials actually.

Testimonials are pretty popular because good ones can be so moving, but I do not like them. I have seen too many testimonials that were reused or obviously fabricated, and I am sure I am not the only one. This is why I prefer more informative materials like the Ardyss brochures. When I see a testimonial my inner cynic starts to scream.

In the end, success with a MLM Business depends on the marketing skills of the business owner. The Ardyss brochures are helpful, sure, but the only way to achieve real success is with a solid understanding of effective marketing. Knowing how to market well will give you the ability to turn any MLM product or program into a financial success.

Today multilevel marketing businesses are being taken more seriously than ever before. This in no small part due to the impact the internet has had on the MLM industry as a whole. If you are looking for information how to succeed as an Ardyss distributor there is a good chance you will be looking for Ardyss training, but what should you expect to get out of a good training program?

First off, the best Ardyss training programs will not be specific just to Ardyss. Instead they will focus primarily on general marketing strategies that can be applied not only to Ardyss, but any product in the future. You may see a specific example of how a certain principle was applied to the Ardyss line, but the emphasis should be on the marketing principles being applied and not on the specific execution of that principle.

Think about it, the first sign of a quality Ardyss training program is it teaching you marketing strategies that can be applied universally to any product, or are its teachings tailored specifically for only one product, if you are not learning how to market anything and everything, you should consider finding a new program.

The internet has become an increasingly powerful weapon in the successful multilevel marketer’s arsenal. The old multilevel marketing methods such as compiling name lists, going to hotel meetings, or holding seminars just cannot be as effective as the internet.

Effective use of the internet as a marketing tool is essential for a quality Ardyss training program. I am not talking about offering materials that members can use to create a slap dash website on their coffee break, with the level of skepticism in today’s consumer you have to be able to create a distinctive and unique marketing strategy to succeed.

By effective internet marketing I am of course talking about ways to generate traffic to your website, as well as how to create a website that is appealing to visitors and successfully converts prospects into both sales and network recruits.

While an excellent marketing plan should be a part of any Ardyss training program you participate in, it shouldn’t be only focus of the course. Instead you should be learning all the valuable marketing concepts that have been used for years, as well as the new and improved methods that take advantage of modern day technology.

In the end it is not Ardyss training that is needed to succeed in Ardyss International, it is marketing training. Once you know how to effectively market, you can turn any MLM product into a potential gold mine, and that is real earning power.

With the huge influx of interest in the multilevel marketing industry it is absolutely important that people considering an MLM program, including Ardys, make sure they know what they are getting in to. I have spent years working with MLM programs and have developed a system I use to analyze any MLM opportunity I hear about.

I review MLM opportunities like Ardys because I think it is imperative that people have a full understanding of what they are getting into when they join an MLM program. To this end I will go ahead and review Ardys using my standard three point evaluation.

The product, the company, and the currently established marketing system are the easiest ways to compare MLM opportunities because they are both universally applicable and relatively straight forward.

That being said, how solid is the Ardys product? Well, that’s going to depend on which of their many products you are talking about. With years of experience manufacturing body reshaping garments, Ardys’ has a fairly solid product in the form of garments like the Body Magic. While there are competitors in this field I am hard pressed to think of a recognizable one.

These days Ardys offers more than just their reshaping garments. The Ardys product line now also consists of health supplements and skin care products. While a diverse product line opens up a new customer base for their distributors, the level of competition in both the health supplement and the skin care industry cannot be ignored.

Then there is Ardys the company. Depending on which date you want to choose, their incorporation date in the US, or the date which the family owned business that turned into the Ardys Corporation, Ardys has been in the business of making body reshaping garments for basically twenty years. The expertise that they bring to this aspect of their product line is definitely a good thing.

Lastly there is the marketing system that is in place. While I always look at this, I’ve come to learn that the business’s marketing strategy is far less important than that of an individual distributor. To their credit, Ardys does have systems in place to streamline the process of recruiting prospects through the internet, which is definitely useful in today’s MLM industry.

In the end Ardys is similar to basically every other MLM product I have ever reviewed. It has its strengths, it has its weaknesses, but success in the program requires understanding of basic marketing principles. I strongly recommend that anybody involved in Ardys or any other MLM program take the time to educate themselves on effective marketing.

I have worked with various MLM programs throughout the years and I have taken a look at more than a few of them. While I truly believe that success can be attained in any MLM program, it would be foolish to say that one is just as good as another.

In the course of all this, I developed a system I like to use when I am reviewing MLM products. By always looking at the same 3 factors I manage to create a certain level of objectivity that I find incredibly useful when looking at a potential MLM business.

The elements I use to evaluate an MLM opportunity like Ardyss are simple, but effective. I look at the product itself, the company behind it, and the preexisting marketing strategy that is already being employed. These three things are important aspects of any MLM program, and they are also universally applicable, which is why I use them.

That being said, how does Ardyss score in the product category? Well, that depends largely on which of their products you are talking about. They are leaders in the body reshaping garment business and that means that their wide line of reshaping garments for men and women is going to be solid quality. On the other hand, the health supplement and skin care product lines have plenty of well established competitors in fierce market that not only has product against product, but distribution channel, direct sales and retail, fighting fiercely for the consumer dollar.

While they are a leader in the garments, both the skin care and health supplement products have been highly competitive industries for some time, and that level of competition is not something to be taken lightly.

Then of course there is Ardyss as a company. They have been making their body reshaping garments for almost 20 years. Incorporated in 1991 in Las Vegas, Ardyss has demonstrated that at least one of their product lines was strong enough to not only keep the doors open, but to grow and expand the company itself in time.

In order to succeed with Ardyss or any MLM business a thorough understanding of how to effectively market is necessary. It is a lack of marketing knowledge that so often leads people to frustration with MLM programs.

If you want to avoid that frustration and see your MLM Business, whether you are an Ardyss distributor or a member of some other program, you need to take the time to educate yourself on marketing. That is the only way your business will have the success you are hoping for.
