Is Buzzirk Mobile A Scam?
As I write this, Buzzirk Mobile is in “pre-launch” – recruiting distributors (which they call E-Associates) but not yet allowing them to sell phones to the general market. This is a common practice for new network marketing companies. However, it can cause some people to be skeptical.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s a very good thing, and there’s nothing wrong with “counting the cost” before you jump into a new business venture. Network Marketing can be a great way to make a lot of money – if you’re good at sales and marketing. If you’re not, you may just get a nice discount on a product you were going to use anyway, or you might catch “get rich quick” fever and think you’re going to get stinking rich without lifting a finger. That won’t happen.
If you’re willing to bust your tail for 40 hours per week (minimum) you can invest a little bit of money and hope that Buzzirk Mobile goes as viral as it appears it is going to. (More on that later).
However, none of us will know for sure until people start using the phones. There are some promising signs that Buzzirk is the “real deal”. Namely, it’s won some awards at some trade shows. Clark Howard has mentioned Buzzirk/ZER01…. and Global Verge has been around for a while. I suggest you do your research, count the cost, and decide if you’re willing to lose a couple of hundred dollars. Because anytime you launch a new business, you always run the risk of losing your money. To ignore that risk is to proceed at your own peril.
As for me, I’m wading in slowly… watching the news feeds, reading the blogs, and hoping the traffic on my site begins to spike. Once I see people signing up and happily using their Buzzirk Cell Phone Of The Future, I’ll consider signing up. But not before. I will always make sure this blog remains honest and transparent.
