For those interested, here’s some more troublesome facts & figures about Droobli:

I know Droobli in Denmark went Bankrupt.

Is there any way I can recoup my $900 AUD that I invested in Droobli?

You may not have heard of “straw man arguments” but your entire post is filled with them:

The “fluff” you wrote above isn’t even worth responding to. Bashing network marketing and the “social business model” is just plain ignorance.

I’m not bashing the social business model.

Eagle scout, if you are so smart, let’s see some proof of your success.

I don’t claim to be “so smart”; and success in business isn’t the best way to measure intelligence.

The entire Internet has become social. Sites like Facebook and MySpace have become some of the most popular sites online. The social model just makes sense.

That’s great. No one is saying otherwise.

There are plenty of millionaires and high-caliber successful business people getting on board with GroobLi. These are people that understand business and money.

Whom, for example? Santi Fuentes? Corrupt princes from the UAE?

Thieves understand business and money. That doesn’t mean everyone should emulate them.

You make a lot of claims. Please back them up.

This “eagle scout” obviously has an agenda here. To say that network marketing is not legitimate is plain foolishness. The “social” business model is the way of the future.

The entire Internet has become social. Sites like Facebook and MySpace have become some of the most popular sites online. The social model just makes sense.

Eagle scout, if you are so smart, let’s see some proof of your success. This blog? I don’t think so. Let’s see something that shows you have the business acumen that you claim to have.

There are plenty of millionaires and high-caliber successful business people getting on board with GroobLi. These are people that understand business and money. How about you. What have you accomplished that is so great?

Do you even own any websites that can show you understand Internet business? I have sites in the number one spot on Google in highly competitive markets and can prove my expertise. I get paid a lot of money to give multi-million dollar companies advice on their business models. How about you? What makes you an expert on Internet businesses and their business structures?

I am willing to go head to head with you any time. The “fluff” you wrote above isn’t even worth responding to. Bashing network marketing and the “social business model” is just plain ignorance.

What I will say is that MANY inferior companies use the MLM model to gain traction. Droobli is an absolute joke of a company and a horrible concept. Droobli is a ponzi scheme in my opinion. The commissions being paid are not based on the sale of the product, they are based on signing people up. Whenever there is compensation without a product exchanging hands, then there is high risk the company will be investigated by the gov’t. I would be shocked if Droobli isn’t looked at closely because of this, and we’ll all have to wait to see the outcome.

Back to MLM companies. Of course Amway and some of the old school companies are solid and have created a lot of wealth. But even newer companies like Univera are more than legitimate players. Univera/ECONET controls more then 30% of the worlds aloe vera, they employ 60 full time scientists, they have over 160 patents, etc. I’ve even heard Proctor and Gamble tried reverse engineering their patent for joint relief and had to pay them $25 million in penalties. I use Univera as an example because I personally find that company the most impressive in the MLM biz. I personally don’t consider Droobli mlm, I consider it a ponzi scheme.

The problem with the MLM biz model is when companies sell the product as a opportunity for wealth. I am personally always cautious if the MLM company doesn’t offer both Customer orders and Associate orders. If someone can just be a customer without any sign up fees or commitments, then theres a good chance the company is legit. But if you have to pay a sign up fee to order products, then you should probably run the other way.

However, there are MLM companies that are solid companies, and have been around for ages and are going to be around for ages to come. For example, Melaleuca. They are obsessed with tea tree oil, and are kind of obnoxious about it – but their business is solid and is not an entire scam. Possibly the marketing they do is bordering scam, but this is similar to how cheap labor in China is a scam and people could then call Wal-Mart a scam since we are supporting a scam operation in China. Dollar stores, similar.

Despite what you say about honesty and ethics, many solid brick and morter hard good businesses, are unethical in some respects. Leather coats are produced by cheap labor too (legitimate drop shipper company) – call this a scam if you want, similar to how I could call melaleuca members scam artists for calling people up on the phone and yapping. Walmart, electronics companies, are all unethical in some respects and they are well known so called “honest companies” to the typical person.

They are simply mathmatical schemes concocted to move money around, and all they do in the end is move money to the ones who concoct the schemes. There are new schemes like this popping up every week, and none is any better than the other.

I’ve spent decades in business, both online and off, and have made millions of dollars. It’s never been quick, easy, or been done for me. I work closely with executives at real internet companies like eBay, Amazon and many more, and I can tell you for a fact that none of these fantasies will ever replace those companies, or even come close to it. As a real live self-made internet multi-millionaire, I can tell you for a fact that if you want to own a business that actually provides a real, stable income, own a business that produces something, educates someone, or makes a real physical difference in the world in some way.

These MLM and Network Marketing schemes never last more than two or three years, and never make any real money for anybody but those who invent them.
