There is someone online whose formula for success consists of two parts. First, learn more. Second, apply what you learn. He claims that this formula, which is mainly absorbing all the knowledge that you can and applying this learned knowledge, has helped him gain success. Knowledge plus action is equal to success, he says.

This person is Joel Broughton of payitforward4profits.com, who puts multi-level marketing and Internet marketing expert under his credentials. He also states that he is the number one personal recruiter and number one in organization recruiting.

Joel Broughton promises that he can help you shatter the so-called 4 barriers to success and how to get more than 600 prospects to your website daily, among many other things and secrets he wants to reveal to you.

I do not like getting into things without doing a whole lot of research, and mind you, I do my research very, very well. I have found out, much to my disappointment, that this certain Joel Broughton has ripped many people off their money. Broughton claims that he is a wealth-building tycoon, but many more people claim that he has scammed them. Also, they are said to send spam e-mails constantly.

However, many are defending Joel Broughton as well, saying that he is not a scammer, saying that they have found success after joining his projects. They also say that just because one has not been successful with Broughton’s formula does not mean that he is a scammer.

Joel and his partner with payitforward4profits.com have since broken up, but Joel has founded a new system called New Rich Report. As of this writing, it currently has 60,000 members and is growing rapidly.

So to all those who are interested in multi-level marketing, I would strongly suggest that you turn your caution and critical thinking buttons on before committing to anything. Do some research, too, and then you can make your decision.
