Ex-Member Contribution
Recently I have been contacted by another former member of Liberty League International. This persons story is similar to a lot of others who have gone as far as to join but quickly found out it’s not what it was all cranked up to be in the interview phone call, you know the one you must take to even find out what the opportunity is.
This person found themselves out on their own with no support from their advisor. They were promised that by purchasing the Beyond Freedom they would be making money fast. After spending $1595 on the course, the member was made to feel like any failures were of their own doing and from lack of following the program completely. They made an effort to sell the products and did so on their own without any help or guidance. It didn’t take long before they gave it up as they had made no progress.
This is another story that once again completely contradicts what the “hard core” Liberty League Members talk of. If you get involved with LLI, then you should expect advisors to make you feel like you have to make sizable investments to be successful. Tony says you only have to spend $49.95 to start out but do your research and you find out that only gets you a “partial” membership and you still have to become qualified before making any money. There is additional cost associated with trying to run this opportunity. From my research, one should expect to pay a minimum of $2200 a year to even have a ghost of a chance of making any money.
Don’t expect to gain the lavish lifestyle portrayed on the websites, it seems most never even recoup their initial investment.
Thank you to the member who contacted me and providing me with the inside prospective from this company. These are the ones that give the best look into what one can expect after joining LLI
Firstly, I would like to congratulate LLI#1 for his/her success with their business.
However, if Liberty League International is a company about personal development , positive energy and positive actions then the comments made by LLI#1 leave plenty to be desired. Reading word’s like “retarded” and “Duh” from a student of personal development is concerning. If Liberty League International is so great then why don’t you use your real name?
Most people know that spending “$5 bucks” will not make you a millionaire but this does not change the fact that people are still being mislead by associates of Liberty League International.
I too am an ex member of Liberty League International and I soon realised that it doesn’t just cost $1495.00 for Beyond Freedom and a “one off” registration fee of $49.95. There is so much more to spend to keep your business running, which is all good, but none of it is explained on the Business Presentation Calls.
For example you pay the $49.95 registration fee after that it costs $39.95 per month to keep your Liberty League International website running which is used for signing up other associates.
All associates then usually pay for another website which I’ve discovered are mostly created with the Home Business People. This is the website you do your advertising with - the one that portrays the associates living a life of luxury that even Donald Trump couldn’t afford. This costs about $20.00 per month. Unless, you have your photo taken in front of a landmark e.g the Statue of LIberty or the Collesium then there really is no way to truly know if the associate is a frequent flyer. The photo’s could’ve been taken in a backyard pool - it doesn’t matter though just look happy and rich!
In all fairness The Home Business people are very proffesional and friendly. So I would highly recommend them if you need a website.
So, so far, you would have spent $1495.00 on Beyond Freedom, 49.95 for registration and you would continue to pay $39.95 per month for you Liberty League International website and if you chose to go with the Home Business People $20.00 per month.
Then there is your marketing to consider for example flyers, newspaper ads, internet ads, Google Adwords(which is used by many of the associates) and YES people this all costs money and needs to be done if you want to produce leads. It’s not as simple as it’s made out to be.
If your not in the United States then you must also pay the currency conversion fee that is charged by financial institutions on every monthly debit that is made to your account by Liberty League International.
As you can see it’s not just “$40.00 a month for a website” as stated by LLI#1. Big or small it all adds up!
Within 48 hours of joining up as an associate my advisor was attempting to sell me both the Liberty and Summit Conference tickets. When I said ‘no I’ve just signed up” I was told that most associates make all their “big sales” from the Liberty and Summit Conference tickets not from Beyond Freedom program sales. This vital bit of information was left out of the Business Presentation Call.
Yes, they do discuss the profits you may make if you purchase the Liberty and Summit Conference tickets on the presentation calls but they don’t tell you that this is where most the money is made.
I didn’t see any support from my colleagues either. I had to figure it out on my own. I tried to contact a couple of my colleagues asking for guidance and got the standard “make it happen” and the other hung up the telephone. Speaking for myself I was left on my own.
There are business set up and maintenance costs in EVERY business but most of the time you are informed of them BEFORE you proceed.
I too would exercise extreme caution when dealing with a business of this nature especially if it’s current members are accusing people of being “retarded” and are not willing to reveal their names.
As an ex member I WILL NOT allow any current members to make me feel as if it was due to my errors that I was not successful. I was not successful because I am an honest person who saw a missing link in the chain. Unfortunately for me I saw the missing link after paying for it.
Thank you Rusty for all your hard work in warning and saving innocent people and their families. I just wish I saw this site BEFORE I wasted thousands of dollars.
I forgot to add that in order to access the training calls and provide your leads with a PIN to listen to the Business Presentation Calls you need to pay $99.95 every three months for the Liberty League International Conferencing System. You must have access to the Conferencing System otherwise you don’t have anywhere to send your leads.
Deborah, you took the words write out of my mouth! This is pretty consistent with a lot of the “hard core” Liberty League members. They make the claims of being to positive and good to waste the time of day being negative, but then they make a post, or in this case a series of post, bitching, rambling and putting down things. This newest person, LLI#1, inflicts much damage to Liberty Leagues credibility as if it needed anymore damage.
