Level 9 App launched in February 2013, offering a free mobile application with "extended content" subscriptions for $7.95 monthly. The company also charged affiliates extra for compensation plan benefits. It began to decline shortly after its debut, failing to attract sufficient paying users.
Level 9 Marketing was purchased from its founders in mid-August 2013 by two original Brand Partners. The company now seeks to rebrand itself as "IQ Life."
The original app is being abandoned for a social network. Level 9 Marketing states it is shifting to IQ Life to align with a new social sharing platform. This move aims to position participants to profit from the social sharing market.
No details on who manages IQ Life are available, a concern given the company's sale less than a year prior. IQ Life does not yet have its own website. However, its planned social network, "IQ Konnect," maintains a placeholder site.
The IQ Konnect domain registration identifies Marty Johnson of Level 9 Marketing as the owner. Johnson's specific role within Level 9 Marketing, or his relationship with IQ Life or IQ Konnect, remains undisclosed.
IQ Konnect stands as the only publicly announced service from IQ Life. The company claims this social network "will start a movement by rewarding you for bringing all your life experiences to this platform."
Marty Johnson also registered several other domains, including iqdefender.com, iqdefence.com, iqshop.net, qlifefounders.info, iqlifelibrary.info, iqmarket.us, iqshop.us, and iqlife.info. These domains are active but currently display blank pages. It is unclear if IQ Life plans to use them for future products or services.
The IQ Life compensation plan requires affiliates to pay a monthly fee. The company then pays recruitment commissions through a 3x9 matrix structure. An affiliate sits at the top of this matrix, with three positions directly under them on level one.
