What is Crush Global?

Crush Global is a nutritional supplement company founded in 2015. They offer a variety of products from hemp extract (oil),  CBD lotions, CBD for pets, energy drinks, nutritious shakes, and many others.

The Crush Global is based in Louisville Kentucky and its size is 501 – 1,000 employees and that number includes part-time roles as well. The CG says they want to provide their customers with savings and rewards on essential products and at the same time they provide a business opportunity for today’s entrepreneurs.

They have one office (Crush Global LTD) in Liverpool as well.

The founder of the company is John Henderson who is a serial entrepreneur. He has helped to create millions in revenue in direct selling.

Is Crush Global an MLM or Pyramide Scheme?

The Crush Global is not a pyramid scheme.

These types of “businesses” are illegal in most countries.
Here is a short video to show you what the pyramid scheme is.

There are many companies out there acting as an MLM businesses but in fact, they are pyramid schemes. The basic difference is that pyramid schemes do not have a product to sell.

The CG offers a variety of products, so this as long as I say it is just an MLM business. We will break down the products later on.
Also if someone wants to join Crush Global, he or she does not have to invest any money.  I mean it is essential to buy some products, but if it were a pyramid scheme you would have to pay solely for a membership.

Members of the CG need to sell the products in order to make commissions.

What is the Price to Join?

As already mentioned above, it is free to join, but you have to purchase a certain package in order to be an agent.

You can sign up directly at their webpage where you enter your personal information and also who referred you to the CG.

Then you enter your address and contact information.

Please note that via their official website (www.crushglobal.com) it is possible to become a member only if your shipping address is in the USA.

As you go through your application, you have to select the enrollment pack.
The price of these packs is from $89 to $599. Once you select your specific pack, you can choose also add products to buy but this is optional.

Choose your website

As a part of your business, you are going to need a website. The CG offers you a replicated website (also called a mirror website).

How Can You Make Money with Crush Global?

So if you want to become a CG promoter you are welcome to do that. Later we are going to show how and also we will reveal whether it is worth it or not.

There are basically 2 ways how to promote their products online and offline.

1. Online – You can get a mirror website where you can add the products and it is up to you how you are going to promote them. You can create a blog where you will highlight the advantages of these products. That is basically affiliate marketing where you need to drive traffic to your website (organic and/or paid)
2. Offline – It is also possible to offer the products to your friends or family members, just like other MLM companies f.e. 4Life.

Let’s break down the CG Rewards plan.

Retail Profit

You purchase whatever products as a Crush promoter for a wholesale price add a margin on them and just sell them. As we covered it above you can choose either one way using your mirror website or in person as well. You can, of course, choose both.

You are paid weekly up to $35 on one-time customer purchases.

2 & Free

You need to have 2 personal customers as a part of the “Autoship Program” and then you can receive a free bottle of Lyfe CBD oil every month as long as both customers continue their auto-ship.

Fast Start Bonus

This is about recruiting already.
So when you invite others to join you, you can earn a commission. When a new promoter purchases the enrollment pack, you can earn up to $100 on each pack.
Bonuses are paid weekly.

Unilevel Team Commissions

Here is a general structure of how the Unilevel commission works.

This the Crush global, you can earn a percentage of all sales through 8 enroller tree levels with compression. The higher the rank you achieve, the more levels from which you can earn.

Unilevel Matching Bonus

You can earn 10% of the Unilevel bonuses of your team members. For those who rank C5K and above, they can earn a 10% up to 4 additional levels.

Generational Leadership Bonus

You can get paid for as many as 5 generations of leaders. The commission is 2%, and it is paid weekly.

Global Bonus Pool

This is for C25K partners and above. You can get 3% of the global Unilevel volume.

To me, the rewards plan should be straightforward. It seems that each MLM company has made the reward system too complicated. At least at first sight.
The bottom line is though, your income depends on the number of people you get into your team – your downline.

Crush Global Pros and Cons

• Everyone can join the CG for free. No need to pay for membership.
• You don’t have to bother your family and friend since you can promote the products as an affiliate marketer online

• The drawback of joining the CG is that you have to purchase a package that is not that cheap comparing the prices of similar products on Amazon. That being said it may be difficult to sell the CG products
• You still need to figure out how to get traffic to your website. You can either learn how to get organic traffic, or you can pay for the ads. In both cases, there is a learning curve. You can do it on your own, or look around for courses (one I recommend offers a free starter membership for 7 days)

Some Thoughts at the End

If you have experience and “special marketing'” skills, you are able to sell whatever you want – even expensive bottles of CBD oil. By special skills I mean, tricks that you can make the prospector buy the stuff which he or she doesn’t really need.

I am not saying that these kinds of products are bad. But did you check similar products as well?
Have you noticed that comparable oil on Amazon is less expensive than the CG product?

That being said, it will take a lot of marketing skills (and most likely those tricks) to sell CG products. People do research these days before they decide to buy something, so it is easy to find the cheaper option.

Most of us do not have such experience to sell overpriced products or in other words, do not feel good to sell something we don’t believe in.

Is there a way how to make money online without using such tricks?

Yes – and you don’t have to be a member of Crush Global to promote the nutritional supplement products.

The good news is you can even sell without being salesy.

If you are interested in these kinds of products, go to Amazon and cross-check them. I am sure you will find many other products at a better price. Not mentioning that a wider range of articles.

Create your own website and do product reviews. Learn how to drive free traffic to your website and you can become an independent affiliate marketer.

I think it is much better to be independent, so you don’t have to force people to join. To me being part of the MLM company is just forced online business.
If you prefer freedom, check for free on how to build your website and within a year you can have a full income online.

This Might Be a Better Alternative How To Generate Income

What is the point of selling the product of one company only?
Let me rephrase.

Why sell products at all?

How about just promoting – as an independent affiliate marketer?

Promoting a product using the website is no a big deal and you can promote any product you want and get a commission out of it. That is called affiliate marketing.

Just check Amazon – there is tons of product. One piece of advice – you don’t want to promote them all.

It would be great to have a website with thousands of products and make a commission out of all of them. (There are websites like that but they started this business 10 years ago).

Here is the key in case you are just about to start:
– you need to get traffic – people who are interested specifically in one subject.

How to technically do that, is a matter of proper keyword research. For that purpose, we use keyword tools.

Just think about how a McDonald’s started out.
At the beginning, they use to sell only burgers and fries. Only later they widened their menu.

Use the same principle with the business online.

Actually, there is a great course where all the above is explained in a simple manner and in detail. It goes deep and wide.
So you will understand the SEO:

• How to drive free traffic.
• How to promote on social media.
• What are internal links and external links
• etc

Once you get through  65-70% of the course you will know more about making money online than any other “gurus” out there.

Let me know if you have more questions in the comment section below. I know that we have not covered the alternative more deeply, therefore ask your questions below.
I will be more than happy to answer you.
