ACN Review: Scam Or Not?
If you are reading this article, I’m betting that you are researching ACN after seeing their business presentation at a hotel meeting or a friend’s house. You probably heard them promote their video phone and show off their products then proceed to tell you how a onetime investment of $499 can start you off to earning some serious income. I wouldn’t be surprised if after the presentation you were more confused than ever but you liked what you heard. So to help put it all together and help you understand exactly what ACN is, I’d like to give you an unbiased review of ACN and help you understand their products and their pay structure.
Let’s start at the beginning. ACN is a telecommunications company that is based out of Detroit, Michigan. The products they offer are home telephone service, cell phone service, Direct TV, VOIP telephone service, and their bread and butter: the VIDEO PHONE.
They pay out commissions in three different ways: personal residual income, overriding residual income, and bonuses. The personal residual comes from customers that you acquire yourself whether they are family, friends, or even strangers. They claim that you can receive up to 10% of the total billing of your customer base, but to reach that tier your total billing has to be upwards of $10,000. So basically, personal residual income equals pennies on the dollar and is ALWAYS insignificant to the new representative.
Overriding residual income is much more substantial than personal residual income. It comes from the customer base of individuals who have joined ACN and are on your team. When you refer friends or family to ACN and they join, a percentage of the customer billing they create is considered your “overriding residual income.” However, the amount of money that you receive is dependent on a number of factors.

Lastly, the mother of all commissions with ACN: team customer acquisition bonuses, otherwise known as TCAB’s. These are earned when new representatives join your organization. How much these bonuses amount to is dependent on a number of things. Essentially, whenever someone signs up with ACN either through your own efforts or the efforts of another representative in your organization, you get paid. ACN tallies up the total number of new recruits for a given month, and a certain amount is paid to you. So basically, you get paid when you recruit new individuals into ACN and when you acquire new customers.
What most people want to know is if it works, if its legal, if it is real, and so on and so on. Considering that ACN has been around for 15 years and that they do business in 20 countries and counting, it is pretty obvious that they’re a legitimate opportunity and far from illegal. Though you aren’t guaranteed to make the millions, there are definitely individuals who have. Individual results will vary. In an industry like ACN’s, there is a 97% failure rate. Only the few make it past that hump. Though this may discourage some people, that’s just how things are. Nobody said it was going to be easy.
So it isn’t a question of whether ACN is real or legal, it’s whether ACN is the best opportunity for the price they charge: $499. Not necessarily. ACN adopts a very old school method of building a business. Talk to friends, family, and acquaintances and make a list of people who you think would like to make more money. This is what they tell you. But what happens when you run out of friends and family to talk to? Either you quit, or like the top earners in the company you get creative. I know for a fact that some of the million dollar earners use advertisements on the internet, classifieds, stores, you name it. Some of them will just walk around a public area and talk to strangers. This is what it takes to make the big bucks. Sooner or later that is what it comes down to. That may scare some people, but it’s the truth.
With the power of the internet, you can build an equally profitable business SIMILAR to ACN but do it in a MUCH faster time span. I’d like to talk to you about an opportunity known as the Wealth Funnel System. Its creator, Derrick Harper, has been making money on the internet for over 13 years. He has worked with very popular companies like MTV, CMT, Pfizer, Weber Grills, Johnson and Johnson, and more. There is no doubt that he knows what he is doing. He has made millions online and he has put together the Wealth Funnel System to teach individuals the fundamentals and basics of making money on the internet. Not only that, but it is one of the very FEW online opportunities that guarantees your success with a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
It may or may not be as good as ACN but that’s honestly for you to decide. Either way, I hope this information has been helpful.
Wishing you the best success, Joe Marquez
