      Skinny Body Care Review

      Skinny Body Care is a fairly new MLM, founded in January 2011. There seems to be a lot of buzz about this company, so I decided to do some of my own research for this Skinny Body Care review.

      The first thing that raises a red flag for me is when I go to the corporate website and there's no information. If you go to skinnybodycare.com, you have to either enter a distributor's number or your own email address to even get past the home page. You can click on the "Contact Us" tab, but it only lists addresses for product returns, one in Utah and two out of the country. That doesn't sit well with me. Why the secrecy? They should want to tell anyone who goes to their website all the information possible about their company, including the address and phone number of the company headquarters. (They are headquartered in Texas, as I found by doing some more searching on the Internet).

      The website also does not list any information about the company's founder or management team. I was eventually able to find out that Skinny Body Care was founded by Ben Glinsky, who has been associated with several other MLMs and appears to have left quite a few disgruntled people in his wake.

      As its name implies, Skinny Body Care's product line is in the health and nutrition niche, more specifically weight loss. There are already many MLMs specializing in this type of product, so this is a crowded and competitive niche in the industry.  Skinny Body Care seems to be banking on two things:  1) there will always be people want to lose weight fast without exercise or diet and 2) there are always people who want to make money without really working for it.

      Skinny Body Care's flagship product is called Skinny Fiber.  They call it "the ultimate weight loss solution".  The company promises this product will flush toxins from your system, melt away fat, reduce your appetite, and boost your metabolism.  The ingredients are Glucomannan, a natural fiber, Caralluma, an appetite suppressant, and Chá de Bugre, their "Brazilian secret" which is supposed to melt away the fat by increasing your metabolism.

      If you are familiar with multi-level marketing, I don't have to tell you that this "ultimate" weight loss product is absolutely nothing new to the industry.  I'm sure you'll hear people swear that Skinny Fiber works, but you could find just as many people who would say the same thing about other MLM weight loss products, not to mention weight loss products one can buy for a lot less money from GNC or Walmart.

      Skinny Body Care has a 3 X 8 matrix compensation plan with a Powerline system.  In a matrix comp plan people fall under you from the top to bottom and left to right.  So, in theory, as people above you sponsor people, they fall under you and as you sponsor they fall under the people below you and so on. This is called "spillover".  The problem with spillover, however, is that as the matrix gets wider people have very little chance of ever getting spillover.  It sounds very enticing to people to be able to join a company where all they have to do is sign up and do nothing and they'll be rich, which is completely impossible.

      Over and over, this phrase showed up when I researched the Skinny Body Care comp plan online:  "...a new distributor can earn income up to $1618.50 per month, without sponsoring a single distributor as long as they are on autoship..." That is utter nonsense. If someone tells you that if you simply join the company under them and hang in there, you'll get spillover and make $1618 a month by doing nothing, you should run in the other direction.  As more and more people realize that banking on spillover is a mistake, they'll cancel their auto-ship and drop out of the business.

      The only people who have any chance of making the kind of money Skinny Body Care is claiming you can make without doing anything are the company founders and distributors who signed up at the very beginning of the company. The problem with presenting the compensation plan this way is that they are eventually going to end up with an organization of people who never recruit anyone new and simply sit and wait for their check. Guess what happens then? Bye-bye, Skinny Body Care!

      Bottom line:  If you didn't get in at the beginning of this company, you have to actually work to earn a check. If you like the product and like to sell and recruit others to sell, go for it. But don't expect to get rich quick, and don't expect this company to be around for very long unless they radically change their compensation plan and the way they present their business opportunity .

      WOW!!!!! Interesting perspective.

      The site page you went to is only 1 of 7 available to Distributors and all have a varying level of information available and are slanted towards what the prospective member or customer is searching for. There are pages specifically aimed at Customers others for Distributors.  There are also pages in 5 additional languages besides English.

      Whilst it is possible to earn an income from spill-over we do not recommend just sitting for 12 - 18 months or more and waiting for the company to build around and below you. Especially when introducing just 3 others, Customers or Distributors in any combination will open up several additions income streams for you including Leadership Bonus Pools, Matching Bonuses and Generational Bonuses.

      Yes, Skinny Fiber works for weight loss but also for so much more. I have many medical issues myself and several of them have prevented me from losing weight, I have tried diets, exercise, over the counter and other online preparations without success. I initially began using Skinny Fiber May 5th 2011 fully expecting that I would not lose weight on it either as even medically prescribed preparations had failed to shift my excess weight because I have a Thyroid Disorder included in my complex medical history.

      The sole reason I began using Skinny Fiber was because of the reported reduction in Cholesterol that it was capable of producing and a recommendation from a friend that it had helped lower hers. After 3 arterial bypasses on my left arm due to my extreme cholesterol levels causing arterial blockages and the medication I was on only having a limited effect in controlling the overproduction of cholesterol my body was causing I was desperate to find something that would help prevent me from needing further surgery. So were my medical team so with my Doctors approval I ceased all Cholesterol medications and began taking Skinny Fiber.

      Within 3 weeks my cholesterol had began dropping, my triglycerides had too, my blood sugar levels had stabilised as had my blood pressure and both were under close observation with the intention of adding medications to control these if they had not stabilised within 3 months and I had commenced losing weight. 8 weeks after beginning my Cholesteroal and Tryglicerides were under control for the first time in 11 years without the aid of dangerous medications and more weight had come off. My medical team at this point began taking serious notice.

      I am not the only person reporting great results with Skinny Fiber, there are many and most are simply Customers not Distributors. Facebook is positively littered with testimonials on Skinny Fiber.

      As with any company you get out of it what you put into it, yes spill-over can assist you to build an income but do not expect to become rich overnight from it, be prepared to wait patiently for at least a year or 2 to see anything worth writing home about, if you want to earn an income in any company you need to produce some effort be that a traditional company or a Network Marketing one.

      There are also "quite a few disgruntled people" in the wake of the owners of many companies, it comes with the territory, people are all too happy to blame others for lack of success in any company or occupation.

      Bottom Line: If you want to earn an income you do just that, the statement says it all EARN not be GIFTED anything, all the tools, training and support you could ever need come complete with your $10 once only Distributor registration fee. Ben Glinsky is a successful multi-millionaire businessman he has several companies and ALL are still trading, he does not open one and sacrifice another, he expands his portfolio. Skinny Body Care is here and here to stay. Skinny Fiber comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, it will cost you between $30 and $59.95 per month (depending on the package you order) so if you have health or weight issues and have failed at everything else it is worth your while to give this a trial just as I did. If you want to learn how to work from home with honesty, integrity and ethics then join a team and company that truly cares about it's members Skinny Body Care is it.

      Very interesting take on Skinny Body Care. It does seem like it has potential to make someone a little bit of money, but I feel that it would be utterly impossible to make any sort of living from Skinny Body Care, especially with the trend of other similar companies being that they burn up and fail pretty quickly. If you're willing to go out and market the product, I'm sure that its possible to make some decent cash from this. 

      It also sounds that some people really have seen results from the product, and that's great. But the way that Skinny Body Care is strutured, it doesn't seem to be very sound.

      I am sure those making over $250,000 in their first year with Skinny Body Care would view the assessment that "it would be utterly impossible to make any sort of living from Skinny Body Care" as being way off beam. I am sure my own husband would also find this an interesting perception since he retired from the workforce in August 2011 to join me full time at Skinny Body Care instead as have many of the spouses of members.

      I joined Skinny Body Care in April 2011 by November I was able to travel to the US for the first time in my life even with my husband being so called unemployed since he was now Networking instead with absolutely no experience in the industry. I had never previously been able to travel Internationally because we simply could never afford it, yet without either of us in a so called real job I finally could.

      I have been a Networker for over 30 years, from Tupperware to Amway to various online companies and would not call myself an expert by any means. I have always earned a little extra to help out with the family finances and pay for those little extra touches we all enjoy but never done anything worth taking great note of income wise, a few hundred dollars a month does make a difference to most families and it did for ours.

      I did not join SBC expecting to earn a great income, like most in this industry I had learned from experience that only the lucky few do extremely well the rest of us make a little more than grocery money from it but it keeps us busy and entertained usually. I joined to help improve my health out of desperation since the medical profession were unable to assist me and I was totally sick of repetitive surgery and had tried everything they threw at me without results.

      Over 12 months later I am still here and my husband and son have both joined me, this is the sole source of income for our entire household, not bad for a company whose "structure doesn't seem very sound". 

      This is what I have learned from my personal experience with Skinny Body Care. "Somebody Cares!!!" For the first time I am with a company where everyone from the CEO to the newest member actually cares for and about each other, they celebrate the successes of everyone be it weight loss, health improvements or reaching financial goals.

      Rank advancement is easy and lucrative and the company lives up to every one of it's promises.

      Coming in as a member requires a one time $10 fee plus your choice of product package, for as little as $75 you are in business.

      Simply order your own product for around $65 each month and in time you will earn something in return but you are relying on the work efforts of others to do this so patience is required because they work at their own pace so enjoy using one of our 2 products Skinny Fiber or Ageless or both and check in every few months and see what is happening. Your income is capped at $1618.50 per month which is fine for some people but if you want to have the potential to earn more start doing a little work. Your current boss does not pay you to sit and do nothing neither do we you are doing something you are using the product so in time will be rewarded for it, by sharing with others you will earn more, it is as simple as that. For each bottle you sell to your first 3 customers you will earn an additional $25.

      The first rank is Bronze  this is where the changes begin. Simply introduce 3 others to the product or the company and your goal is achieved, these can be customers or other distributors. This opens up several other ways you can earn income here. The first being and additional $1 per bottle for your sales efforts, then you also earn a share in the company Bonus Pools which is a Bonus system set up to recognise those doing something, most companies start bonus pools for high ranking members SBC recognises it's members for achieving any rank. You also earn a 50% matching bonus on the matrix income of anyone you introduced to the company with no breakage so if you introduce someone who out ranks you it does not matter because you will still earn this, a lot of companies make you stay ahead of your team members in rank to earn, here because you did the introduction you reap the reward for it. 

      Help 3 personally sponsored members reach Bronze too and you are promoted to Silver, bring in 3 members who just want to use the product and not build you end up stuck here with most companies however with SBC you are in control of your own business, if you are just bringing in others who are not wanting to build you can reach Silver by introducing a total of 10 others instead. All ranks have a self directed method of reaching them so that you do not need to rely on the efforts of others to advance and a higher matching bonus % to reward you for your continued efforts. The pay plan is explained in full on our website so I will not go into too much detail here.

      Company rank advancement bonuses start at Platinum and range form $1000 - $300,000 you can take these as cash payments or houses or cars in lieu of cash a total of $431,000 in bonuses along the road to Royal Crown Diamond and that is on top of your income from working the business. Who cares if it takes you 5 years to reach it or 10 years for that matter, how much in cash bonuses do you earn for doing your job with your current employer???

      We have 2 products Skinny Fiber, a weight loss, weight management, health improvement product and Ageless which is a skin care product. Both are fuss free and effective and both come with an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee so they work fast enough for people to see results in their first month of usage.

      I would suggest that anyone searching for a better way to earn a living take a look at Skinny Body Care. Network Marketing has come of age and is gaining respectability. Yes it is possible to do business with honesty, integrity and ethics and the company is called Skinny Body Care! Whether you want to earn a seriously living or just add a little pocket money to the family budget it caters for all!!!!

      Thanks a lot for the info Cheryl-Ann, you mentioned a lot about Skinny Body Care that I couldn't find anywhere else. It's good to know that the product works, and that the company, as you said, actually cares. Those facts definitely give more credit to Skinny Body Care. I guess I spoke too soon about the company. Thank you for the insider info.
