It's a "Multilevel Marketing Company" (also known as 'Pyramid Selling'). That means that the only people who are likely to be millionaires from it are the three owners.

@maggie88 No. Because the way it works is that you have to 'invest in' (that is, *pay for*) products which you either have to sell or use. All of these products are more expensive than they should be because part of what you pay for them has to go to your upline (the person who referred you). In turn, you, in order to make any money, will have to persuade others to join the scheme and that is VERY hard work and almost never produces the results promised because a pyramid like that very quickly becomes saturated (= there are no more people willing to pay for the initial quantity of product either because they can't afford it or because they have already joined).
MLM is a mug's game, in fact. A few people are pushy enough and have a wide enough circle of aquaintances - you will hardly ever sell it to friends - to sell some positions below them (but most people are not). Unless those people go on to keep buying more product, you will not - repeat NOT - make any money. And I can guarantee that they will NOT buy more product because (a) the market is already saturated and (b) the product is basically rubbish sold at far too high a price.

I have a colleague who was a member of that before. I am just not sure if he is still in MLM now. He even asked all of us to listen to his talk about MLM. It is a networking I think. I don't have the patience recruiting people so whenever someone invites me on something like that, I just said No.

@maggie88 Yes, patience is a virtue. But I am not really a sociable creature in person.

I have never heard of "Alliance in Motion".
