ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation, a leading direct marketing company and provider of health-centered products, announced that recognized industry leaders and top earners Andrew and Nancy Burling are among the newest members of the fast-growing international network that is ForeverGreen.
With more than 40 years of combined experience in the industry, they were not actively looking for a new opportunity. However, the Burlings were drawn to ForeverGreen by the category-creating FGXpress model that has been driving the company’s growth. Mr. Burling said, “We believe ForeverGreen with FGXpress is destined to become a dominant brand in the network marketing industry. Shipping a physical product and paying commissions in more than 175 countries during a pre-launch phase was eye-opening and astonishing. We knew something big was going on, and we immediately wanted more information. When the timing was right, we made the call, flew in, and shifted our total focus to ForeverGreen.”
On October 8, 2014, the Burlings’ Global Win Team arrived in Utah with more than 100 prospective members to take a look at ForeverGreen. “The culture of ForeverGreen is very warm and welcoming. The response was astounding. The timing was perfect, and the experience has created a frenzy of continued activity,” Mr. Burling said.

SEC On Lookout for Web-Based Pyramid Schemes
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The Wall Street Journal released the following article:
Illustrated by a sack full of dollar bills, the online pitch was simple: an “amazing and irresistible” opportunity to join a global direct-sales travel company, recruit others and enjoy a share of the profits.
The company, GoFunPlaces Inc., was going to go viral via Facebook and YouTube, making it easy for “Joe Average [and] Suzy Average” to earn money.
“You can win here! You can win!” a 2012 video said. “The longevity is going to be here.”
Within a year, GoFunPlaces closed its U.S. operations and faced scrutiny from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Securities and Exchange Commission over whether the company was a pyramid scheme or involved in other fraud, according to people close to the probes.
The SEC this fall shut down a company that owned half of GoFunPlaces, alleging it was a fraudulent $129 million pyramid scheme.
A lawyer representing GoFunPlaces didn’t respond to requests for comment and the company itself couldn’t be reached. GoFunPlaces hasn’t been accused of any wrongdoing by the government.
Direct-sales is more popular than ever: A record 16.8 million Americans—representing about one in every seven U.S. households—worked in the industry last year, most for companies that employ networks of

Avon’s Carrol Bradford Reaches Over $1 Million / Year In Sales, Convinces Husband To Become An ‘Avon Lady’
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
One of Australia’s most successful businesswomen says she fell into her dream job by complete accident.
Carrol Bradford was offering childcare services from her Brisbane home, when her sister begged her to ‘step in’ to look after her three Avon clients while she went on holiday.
Eight years on, Carrol boasts a team of 500 staff across the country. A team who helped her turn over $1.5 million in makeup and skincare sales this year alone.
‘I thought I’d try it myself as I needed the extra money and it just grew by word of mouth,’ she told Daily Mail Australia. ‘At first all I wanted was to get a hundred dollars of orders filled, I never dreamed it would become this big.’
Mrs Bradford, who had never travelled overseas before starting Avon, has since represented the Australian and New Zealand arms of the company at leadership events in Bangkok and Singapore.
‘For me, that was a real highlight I think, I’d not been anywhere before,’ she said.
She says a lot of her work has come through referrals and her online store – and through a lot of hard work.
‘We still do get-togethers at people’s homes but its really not just the little lady coming
