If you have found this article, I'm assuming that you are looking for answers after seeing the ACN business overview at a friend's place or a hotel meeting. You heard them talk up their video phone and tell you how much money is going to be made with it, and that a simple investment of $499 can get you in on the action. Well, chances are that a majority of what they talked about went over your head. So to help you further understand the business I'd like to briefly review their products and their compensation plan and give you an unbiased opinion of ACN.

Let's start at the beginning. ACN is a telecommunications company that is based out of Detroit, Michigan. The products they offer are home telephone service, cell phone service, Direct TV, VOIP telephone service, and their bread and butter: the VIDEO PHONE.

Representatives earn money in three different ways: personal residual income, overriding residual income, and bonuses. Personal residual income is earned when representatives receive a percentage of their customer's billing. But they must be customers that were personally referred by the representative. ACN says that you can earn "up to 10%"of the total customer base, but they neglect to inform you that you only earn that amount if your customer's are spending a minimum of $10,000. Essentially, the personal residual income typically amounts to less than $50 a month so it is hardly worth mentioning.

Overriding residual income is much more substantial than personal residual income. It comes from the customer base of individuals who have joined ACN and are on your team. When you refer friends or family to ACN and they join, a percentage of the customer billing they create is considered your "overriding residual income." However, the amount of money that you receive is dependent on a number of factors. For details on the percentages and specifics visit https://myacn.acninc.com/MyACN/ShowDoc?DocName=docs/us/en/301.pdf.

Lastly, the mother of all commissions with ACN: team customer acquisition bonuses, otherwise known as TCAB's. These are earned when new representatives join your organization. How much these bonuses amount to is dependent on a number of things. Essentially, whenever someone signs up with ACN either through your own efforts or the efforts of another representative in your organization, you get paid. ACN tallies up the total number of new recruits for a given month, and a certain amount is paid to you. So basically, you get paid when you recruit new individuals into ACN and when you acquire new customers.

But the question that most people want answered is if this works? Is it legal? What' the catch? And so on and so on. ACN has been in business for 15 years now and they conduct their operations in 20 different countries. There is no question that they are not operating legally and that they are not a scam, especially with a Donald Trump endorsement. Not only that, but even thought you aren't guaranteed to make lots of money, there certainly individuals who have. Individual results will vary, but you need to remember that in an industry like direct marketing, with ACN or any other company there is a 97% failure rate. That's just how things are with these types of opportunities.

So the question isn't whether ACN works, but rather if it is the BEST way to invest $499 and become financially free. Not necessarily. ACN's model for building a business is VERY old school. You only have so many friends and acquaintances and I can GUARANTEE that the top earners in the company go far and beyond their circle of friends to recruit people into the business. Some representatives do advertisement in classifieds, signs on the road, ads in the internet, and more. You'll even find some of them go out into highly public areas and just talk to strangers. More than likely, you are NOT going to make your millions by simply talking to your friends. Eventually you will HAVE to branch out and for most people that is an uncomfortable thought.

If you know how to harness the power of the internet, building a business like ACN can be VERY simple, provided you have the right information. I'd like to bring your attention to a different opportunity called the Wealth Funnel System. Like ACN, it's about building a business for yourself but doesn't require you to bother your friends or family. The creator, Derrick Harper, has made millions online and has been working on the internet since the early 90's, before most of us were even using the internet. He has worked with big companies like MTV, CMT, Pfizer, Weber Grills, Johnson and Johnson, and more. Nobody can argue that he is VERY experienced. He has put together the Wealth Funnel System to provide people with a business that can be equally as rewarding as it is educational. It teaches the skills necessary to be successful with any internet business venture, and is one of the only businesses you will find that has a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

It may or may not be as good as ACN but that's honestly for you to decide. Either way, I hope this information has been helpful.

Wishing you the best success, Joe Marquez
