Today, we are going to be talking about our product called Rippln, which is kind of a
"mystery grab bag" at this stage because nobody is signing up at this point and really knows
what they are going to end up promoting.
So what is Rippln? Well, first let's talk about what the product creators claim Rippln
is. They claim that it is a mobile app that is going to go viral. They are actually claiming
that it is going to be the biggest thing since email. They used in their sales videos and
they site some unknown source that I think most of us have never heard of. Actually,
claiming through the next biggest thing since email is a pretty hefty claim, but I mean
that is a whole amount of ratio entirely. So what they are claiming is that this mobile
app is going to go viral and you giving in early just like people that got in early during
Facebook or early during Twitter and spread the news to their friends, it went viral and
it rippled like if you throw a stone into a lake and it ripples across the entire lake.
That's their claim and that's what Rippln comes from. But what's more important is what
the creators of Rippln aren't telling you, and what they aren't telling you is right
now Rippln is free to sign up.
You can go to their website and all you need is an invite code and you can sign up and
gain access to the member's area. But at some point, they even mentioned this once you are
in the member's area they are going to start charging a premium fee and that's because
Rippln is based on the MLM, The Multi-level Marketing Model and that's what they are talking
about when they talk about ripples, is you are going to have multiple levels and that's
multi-level marketing. And although there a lot of legitimate multi-level marketing
companies out there, I am not going to knock, that's what Rippln is. It is a multi-level
marketing company. And whenever you are talking MLM there's always a base fee and frequently
it recurring in our monthly to be a member that is capable and you unlock the ability
to earn commissions from other members. Okay, so that's what's going to happen. At some
point they are going to start charging and nobody knows for sure except for the creators,
but you will probably have to be paying that fee to get the commissions and I will talk
a little bit more about whether I think that's a little bit dangerous in a bit later in this
review. But the point I want to make right now is right now, you have no idea of what
you are signing up to promote.
They say it is a mobile app that they are going to use to promote and you are going
to be able to make money out of all the commissions and all the people that you have referred,
but you don't know what you are signing up to promote right now. You don't know if you
are going to be promoting affiliate marketing products or if you are going to be promoting
self-help products or if you are going to be peddling *** on the internet. I don't
think that's the route they are going to end up taking, but my point is you have no idea
what you are going to end up promoting right now if you are signing up for Rippln. So after
you get through the NDA which by the way the non-disclosure agreement on that cage is a
joke, you don't have to fill out your name at all. You can just type the next __3:06__
like I did with all the question marks filled out. Legally I did not agree to any non-disclosure
because it is a joke and it is not set up properly. You just click next and go on to
the member's area and once you are in the member's area you just basically have a kind
of a preview of your down line and you have a whole bunch of videos to promote Rippln.
And I already talked about the fact that you have no idea what you are promoting, you have
no idea what you are signing other people up to promote down the road, but you have
those videos to start promoting Rippln so that you can start to spread the word and
start building your down line before you even know what you are going to be marketing. You
are just gaining access to a bunch of videos so that you can help people sign up and they
are going to sign up not really knowing what they are promoting just like you did.
So since I pretty thoroughly established at this point that none of us know exactly what
is going to happen with Rippln all we can really do is speculate and so what is my prediction?
What is my educated guess? After being in the internet marketing for many years and
also seeing a lot of MLM companies come and go in the night what is my prediction for
Rippln? Well, I can tell you without a doubt, they are going to start charging a premium
fee to be a member. The creators of Rippln in the member's area have said that they are
going to do that. Okay, so that's it, given, but my prediction is that you are going to
have to be a premium member. You are going to have paying. It is probably going to be
a monthly fee and you are going to have to be paying that to be collecting commissions
or at least full commissions for whoever you have already invited, and this is earlier
I mentioned that I feel like this is kind of dangerous mentality, kind of a dangerous
approach they are taking and that will explain why now? Because so many people have gotten
in and they feel like they are getting in a ground level because it is in pre-release,
but it has been in pre-release for weeks and they will be in pre-release for a few more
weeks and so everybody is going to feel like they got in their ground level, and you hear
that with MLM companies all the time. Get in the ground level and those are the people
that may get rich, they strike it rich. But with the Rippln, I am not exactly sure that's
going to be the case because so many people are joining and you can't all be at ground
level, okay? So that's my first prediction. I have three.
My first prediction is that you are going to have to start paying to collect full commissions,
okay? So what's my second prediction? My second prediction with Rippln is that because of
the creators behind the product that you know kind of had hit or miss internet marketing
histories it also just kind of the whole business model I don't think you are going to end up
promoting a lot of really reputable products. You are not going to have really well known
brand names. I don't think you are going to be promoting best buy in the places like that.
You are probably going to end up promoting semi-shady products -- maybe not shady, but
not the best known products. You are not going to be pushing the best brand names out there
because that's what it would be, the easiest to make commissions out of that I feel like
a lot of people going into this by kind of hoping for that. But just based on the business
model alone you aren't going to be able to get all of that, okay? You are not going to
be able to get the best of the best. My third prediction with Rippln applies to any multi-level
marketing company which I guess what Rippln is. Some people, the people at the very top,
the product creators are going to get very, very, very wealthy. They are going to make
a lot of money off of Rippln. There are going to be a handful of people that worked at the
very, very top that got in pretty early and probably already had established multi-level
marketing histories and experience. Some of those people are going to make a lot of money
too. They are going to make a pretty handsome amount of money.
Now it's just a handful of people considering all of them. I mean, we were talking between
the very top and that level we are probably talking somewhere around 2% to 3% max. That's
the way it is with every multi-level marketing company. And then I guess about 95% to 97%
of people are going to have nothing to show for their efforts in Rippln except for holes
in their pockets and a whole bunch of wasted time because there are going to be a ton of
people that joined that start paying that premium fee and they start wanting to get
commissions, but it is just not going to connect. It is not going to line up for them and that's
what happens again in any multi-level marketing company. So what is my conclusion? Now what
is my conclusion about Rippln? I think it is pretty clear at this point that I would
not recommend Rippln. Of course if you want to, you can sign up, pre-register, get in
and just kind of stay posted. There's no harm in that. It is not going to hurt you. You
are just going to get some emails down the line. But as you proceed past that, once they
start charging their premium fee and you start looking at it as a valid business model what
causing you to really look at it with a skeptical eye and be careful going forward.
