I last
reviewed Skinny Body Care
late last year. One of the key-concerns identified was ‘
the pushing of products onto affiliates as a commission qualifier.
‘

After signing up, a Skinny Body Care affiliate are strongly encouraged to purchase products to qualify for commissions.

While there is nothing inherently problematic about affiliates purchasing products, to do so to qualify for commissions encourages chain-recruitment.

That is you sign up as a new Skinny Body Care affiliate, purchase products to qualify for commissions and get paid when you recruit new affiliates who do the same.

In this scenario the products become irrelevant and the income opportunity itself becomes what is actually being marketed and sold.

One Skinny Body Care affiliate even went so far as to claim most affiliates are on autoship to “
protect their income
“.

In light of the recent
Vemma
and
Herbalife
busts, which identified affiliate purchases as a primary source of revenue
indicative of pyramid fraud
, one would think MLM companies across the board would be doing everything they can to encourage retail sales.

Not Skinny Body Care. They’ve doubled down on their affiliate autoship recruitment model and introduced a “Legacy Matrix”.

Labelled “optional” to take part in, an official marketing video claims it’s “one of the most powerful parts” of the Skinny Body Care compensation plan.

To qualify for the Legacy Matrix, a Skinny Body Care affiliate must generate and maintain 100 PV a month.

This PV can come from affiliate purchase of product (including autoship) or retail sales volume.

Designed to reward people who are committed to making Skinny Body Care the LAST company they ever have to be involved with, the Legacy Matrix is a once-a-year Bonus exclusively for Distributors who maintain 100bv in Personal Volume each month.

The Legacy Matrix utilizes a 3×7 matrix compensation structure.

A 3×7 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix, with three positions directly under them:

These three positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting the first three positions into another three positions each.

Levels three to seven of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with each new level housing three times as many positions as the previous level.

Positions are filled by Skinny Body Care affiliates who generate and maintain 100 BV a month.

Commissions are generated monthly as 1% of the 100 PV qualifying volume ($1).

The Legacy Matrix pays annually, with a full matrix (3279 positions) paying $39,348 annually.

The problem lies in the majority of Skinny Body Care affiliates qualifying with 100 PV a month via autoship or manual self-purchase sales.

This reduces the Legacy Matrix to a 100 PV a month, $39,348 chain-recruitment commission.

You sign up as a Skinny Body Care affiliate with a 100 PV a month autoship. Recruit others who do the same and start earning thousands of dollars a year for doin

🤖 Quick Answer

Does Skinny Body Care's affiliate structure incentivize product purchases as commission qualifiers?
Yes, Skinny Body Care affiliates are strongly encouraged to purchase products to qualify for commissions. This requirement creates a commission-based qualification system where affiliates must buy inventory, potentially prioritizing recruitment over genuine product sales to consumers.

How does product-based commission qualification relate to chain-recruitment concerns?
When affiliates must purchase products to earn commissions, the focus shifts from retail sales to recruiting new affiliates who repeat the same purchasing cycle. This structure emphasizes income opportunity over product value, creating potential pyramid scheme characteristics.

What is the primary concern regarding Skinny Body Care's affiliate compensation model?
The primary concern is that mandatory product purchases for commission qualification encourage affiliates to prioritize recruiting new members rather than selling products to external consumers, making products secondary to the recruitment-based income opportunity.
