Has anyone looked into this, other than me? If so, what did you like/dislike about the program?

I see your point in this, but it is a great front end to your own personal website or your own biz opp. If you get people in profit right away, they are going to be much more inclined to follow you into your primary. 1 off and they are ready to be in profit basically forever.

And, EN is basically teaching them to create their own content, write copy and market. You can mentor in that role, and get affiliate commission off the autoresponder, domain name, etc as they progress.

I got interested in it because I see so many new people just overwhelmed at starting out (I know I was)-EN solves a lot of that problem right away.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones as I realize not all business opportunities turn out like this for everyone. I respect that people need to try new things.

I think we are saying much the same thing, just coming at it from different vantage points. In the end, you do have to brand yourself and become an expert. Money is made by leading and not following (eventually).

Many of my leads come from my online classes-I teach 75 new adults every month. Many of them are hungry to start their own businesses. That is my 'lead funnel'. I don't want to approach them directly, because of the potential for conflict of interest. But if they are interested in starting there own business and I see how they perform over a 5 week period, I can feel good refering them to someone I can be confident in.

I come here and to other forums to prospect for my leaders-my 3-5 people to take these prospects in and coach them. They are willing-sometimes TOO willing, but they need to be shown the ropes. I need someone with some online business experience to help them succeed!

Hi John,

I went to the main site and I couldn't get past the founder's picture. I thought the guy was naked! Why does he have this particular picture on his website? I must admit, it will probably get some attention.

It's like any other tool out there, used correctly it can be a boon. I use it to leverage my own site and brand. You don't have to make it your one and only.

I use it as a supplemental. I lead with my primary first and if they say no, then I pitch them on EN. If they are really new and starting with nothing, I pitch them EN because in reality, it is a very good starting point, but I agree. Always brand yourself first.

I think it fits with the whole Gen-X-Y-Z mindset that business is casual and you can do it from anywhere with a laptop and wifi.

The message converts, I know that. If you can get people to look at the video and they get the value, they are in.

This is my experience as well as a few other network marketers I speak to on a daily basis: Sometimes, they pay, and sometimes they don't. When I signed 3 people up who clearly told me they paid and joined under me, I only received $25 from 1 person. A friend of mine signed over 10 people and he only got paid for 2 people. You decide...

I am a good judge of character, I wouldn't join these guys in anything. People are going to find as the "flavor of the month" opportunity called Empower Network loses steam, payments not being sent out will be more and more frequent.

I prefer a company that has been in business for years not months, and has no non-payment complaints.

I feel bad for all the people whom are a bad judge of character and just jump into one scam after another.

Very interesting comments on here. I heard of EN but never took an interest, But it seems like it's really blowing up. More power to those involved.

I know many that are taking part in this.

I've head pros and cons as for me I'll pass.

Hope everyone involved much success.
