In another installment in my series of business opportunity reviews, to determine which network marketing businesses should be considered 10 best home based business opportunities, I would like to provide you with some solid information regarding the Trump Network. I have no affiliation whatsoever with Trump Network so my Trump Network Review can be considered completely unbiased.

In my opinion, the key points to be considered when determining if a network marketing opportunity should be considered a 10 best home based business opportunity are Ownership, Longevity or Long-Term Vision, Product, and Compensation Plan. Let’s take a look at what the Trump Network has to offer.

OWNERSHIP: The name Donald Trump is obviously synonymous with big business. “The Donald” is a leader of industry and one of the most successful business men of our generation. Why in the world would he lend his name to a multi-level marketing business? Simple…there is big money in MLM. And, his name provides Trump Network with immediately credibility (nobody will think it’s a scam) and network marketers will want to join a program with the Trump name..many without even caring about the products.

LONGEVITY or LONG-TERM VISION: This is the Mission Statement taken directly from the Trump Network website:

“The Trump Network’s mission is to encourage its Independent Marketers to achieve personal financial independence.

By promoting and coordinating the networking activities of marketers through a structured program of education, sales of cutting-edge nutritional and wellness products, rewards and incentive plans, the goal of The Trump Network is to assist millions of people to succeed with creating their financial dream.

The Trump Network products include highly-advanced, scientifically-proven health and wellness products, including customized testing and metabolic analysis, effective weight-management solutions and vitamin and mineral supplements.

We encourage all of our members and potential members to take charge of their future. There’s a big difference between opportunity and success. Invite your friends and family, and everyone you know to join our team.”

PRODUCTS: The MLM industry is seemingly one filled with companies pitching potions, lotions, vitamins and the like. The Trump Network does not disappoint. The product mix falls directly in the health and wellness niche, offering vitamin supplements as their product. But, with a twist! They offer something I think is revolutionary…their revolutionary PrivaTest. The PrivaTest is a home test you take that will then be analyzed by scientists to determine exactly what vitamins, minerals, and vital nutrients YOUR BODY needs every day. The vitamin supplements are not one-size fits all but rather each is tailored directly to the individual based on their PrivaTest results. Time will tell whether or not this is a gimmick but it’s a pretty cool idea nonetheless.

COMPENSATION: The website recommends joining the Trump Network business opportunity The FastStart Way. This is a one-time product and marketing DVD/CD purchase of $500 for a 3 month supply. You will earn $100 for every direct referral you bring into the business that also purchases the FastStart package. You must also enroll in the monthly product autoship for $129.20 per month. So, as you can see, this is not an inexpensive business. The compensation plan seems pretty standard for this type of MLM business, and can be downloaded in its entirety at www.trumpnetwork.com.

CONCLUSION: The Trump Network is a very new network business opportunity. It’s really too early to tell whether or not it already is a “10 Best Home Based Business” but it definitely has the potential to be one. I defintely do not think Trump Network is a scam. By just having the Trump name and financial muscle behind the marketing efforts, the business has a good chance of long-term success. Many people will join just for the Trump name and no other factors so recruiting might be a little easier than for other MLMs. The more people who join creates more competition for the marketers too.

To build yourself a sizeable downline — of 100s or 1000s of distributors — which you will need to make serious money with the Trump Network, you will need to know how to market. You will need to know how to separate yourself from your competition to become a leader so that people want to join YOU. If you do this, you can immediately separate yourself  from 95% of your competition who will never learn this key marketing strategy. Remember…a business that is not constantly growing is a dying business! Good luck!
