Is CorVive Safe or a Good Ol’ Pyramid Scheme? [Review]

CorVive Review Featured Image

Polls and surveys show that more than 80% of Americans take vitamins or supplements and CorVive is one of the thousands of companies that are there to fulfill this demand…

CorVive is operating in the health and wellness supplements industry and has an MLM compensation plan in place meaning that it offers people the opportunity to build an income by distributing its supplements to retail customers as “Endorsers” as well as for recruiting and building a team of other Endorsers who will distribute the company’s supplements themselves…

However, not every MLM is legit… There are a lot of scams out there; a lot of pyramid schemes posing as legit money-making opportunities that care about nothing but putting their hands deep in your pockets in order to pay out their senior participants without giving you anything in return.

So, let’s start talking money, shall we?

CorVive's Compensation Plan

The majority of MLM companies have so overly complicated compensation plans that it feels like you need to have a rocket scientist doctorate to understand just their first paragraph.

CorVive’s compensation plan is rather simpler than most and it compensates you for your sales and recruits in 7 different ways.

  2. Timed Bonuses – Xcelerator 500 & 1000

You earn commissions from the retail sales of your team through a uni-level structure down to 3 levels deep.

In a uni-level structure, all your personally enrolled Endorsers are placed right below you (level 1).

All the enrolled Endorsers of your personally enrolled Endorsers are placed right below them (level 2), and so on (see image below).

Unilevel Compensation Plan

As an Endorser, you earn 12% of all the retail sales of your personally enrolled Endorsers (level 1) and 4% of all the retail sales of the Endorsers on your level 2 and level 3.

For example, Bob and Sarah are both your personally enrolled customers who are on auto-ship.

Bob’s auto-ship order is for $100 worth of products.

Sarah’s auto-ship order is for $200 worth of products.

You earn 150 credits that you can redeem to purchase a product yourself and you only pay the shipping plus any applicable tax.

You can earn a maximum of 200 credits per month.

Please note that CorVive’s compensation plan might undergo changes from time to time so by the time you read this review, some of the info, the commission rates, the rank qualifications, etc that are displayed in the videos I shared with you right above might not be that accurate.

If you still have questions about CorVive’s compensation plan, you could contact its support team through email support@corvive.com

Or you could contact me at harry@dearboss-iquit.com and I will do my best to help you out.

How Much Does It Cost to Join CorVive as an Endorser?

You can sign up as CorVive’s Endorser completely for free.

After your first year as an Endorser, you’ll have to pay an annual fee of $14.95 for each year that you want to remain an Endorser.

Also, be aware that in order to keep yourself qualified and active for commissions you’ll have to maintain $100PV during a 30-day period.

This $100PV can come either from retail customer sales or from personal purchases.

If your customers purchase $70 worth of products during a month, in order to keep yourself active and qualified to earn those commissions, you’ll have to get your PV up to $100 by purchasing $30 worth of products yourself.

Is CorVive a Pyramid Scheme?

Most of the time it’s very hard to distinguish between a legit MLM company and a pyramid scheme.

The video below will help you understand how to spot and avoid pyramid schemes in general.

The main difference between an MLM and a pyramid scheme is that MLMs give you the opportunity to earn commissions by selling actual products or services to other people in retail without having to recruit them while with a pyramid scheme the only way to earn money is by recruiting other people into the scheme.

Not all MLMs are legitimate. If the money you make through an MLM is based on your sales to the public, it may be a legitimate one. If the money you make is based on the number of people you recruit and your sales to them, it’s not legit. It’s a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal, and the vast majority of their participants lose money. – Federal Trade Commission

Since CorVive offers you the option to earn commissions by selling its products to retail customers, I have to conclude that CorVive is NOT a pyramid scheme!

CorVive Pros

  • Free Replicated Website
  • Free to Join
  • Money-back Guarantee
  • Extra Fast Support
  • Success Stories & Testimonials

1 • Free Replicated Website

Once you join CorVive, you have the option to set up a replicated website through which visitors will be able to purchase CorVive’s products online.

When someone who visits your replicated website purchases one or more CorVive products through it, 20% of the total amount of money paid by that customer goes into your pocket.

In addition, if someone signs up as a CorVive Endorser through your website you automatically become their sponsor and they become part of your downline.

If marketed the right way, this website could help you maximize your customers and your recruits, and subsequently your income.

If your business is not on the internet, then your business will be out of business – Bill Gates

2 • Free to Join

I am very fond of money-making opportunities that don’t require an initial monetary investment.

Unfortunately, the money-making scams that exist are much more than the legit opportunities so I prefer trying something out before investing any of my money in it just to be safe…

If I hadn’t been given the opportunity to get my first online business up and running for free by Wealthy Affiliate 3 years ago, this very website would probably not exist and I probably wouldn’t be where I am today!

As a free CorVive member, you have access to everything you need to start earning money with the company such as

  • Training documents and videos
  • Your cloud-based dashboard
  • Replicated website
  • Monitoring tools
  • Marketing tools
  • Management tools
  • and more

However, always be aware that in order to keep yourself active and qualified for commissions you’ll have to maintain a $100PV per month which means that sometimes you might have to purchase CorVive’s products yourself.

Lastly, after your first year as an Endorser, you’ll have to keep paying $14.95 for every additional year that you want to remain an Endorser.

3 • Money-back Guarantee

All CorVive’s products come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Products with money-back guarantees are much easier to sell than those who don’t have any.

People just seem to feel more comfortable spending money on something for which they are able to get a refund anytime they want if they needed to.

In addition, research shows that money-back guarantees increase customers’ feelings of satisfaction with their purchases, making them more likely to make another purchase from the same seller.

All this translates to easier sales which translate to more sales which in turn translate to more money for you!

4 • Extra Fast Support

Inside your Endorser’s dashboard, there’s a live chat that you can use to directly contact CorVive’s support team.

When I joined the platform to test it out, I had a few questions.

I opened up the live chat, I typed my first question, and before I finished typing my second question, the live chat operator had already answered the first one.

That’s what I call extra fast support!

5 • Success Stories & Testimonials

While conducting research about CorVive to gather information to put this review together, I came across a ton of success stories and positive testimonials of people who had been using CorVive’s products. 

If you incorporate all those success stories and testimonials in your marketing attempts you’ll be able to dramatically increase your retail sales and recruitments.

You can find a lot of those success stories and testimonials right here, as well as on YouTube!

CorVive Cons

  • MLM Business Model
  • No Retail Pricing on Website
  • Limited Training

1 • MLM Business Model

As mentioned earlier, I am not fond of the MLM business model in general for many reasons…

First of all, the success rates of MLM participants are awfully low (74% – 99%)

Secondly, I hate selling…

And thirdly, I’ve heard so many stories of people losing all their friends, family, and money due to the pushy and sleazy practices they were being taught by their “mentors” that I have become repulsed by the MLM business model in general.

Being involved in an MLM is just not worth the trouble in my mind…

Especially when there exist other much more legit ways of earning a lot more money with the exact or even less effort.

2 • No Retail Pricing on Website

Another thing I don’t like about CorVive is that retail pricing of the company’s products is not available on their official website or your replicated website for visitors unless they first create a customer’s account.

A customer should be able to find out about the prices of a company’s products without having to create an account and I believe that many customers might be turned off by that and leave CorVive’s website without even bothering.

I know I definitely would!

3 • Limited Training

One of the most common reasons that so many people fail to make a good profit in their MLM venture is the lack of proper training. 

Unfortunately, CorVive’s training also lacks in quality as well as quantity.

Within your personal dashboard, you’ll find only 5 training videos that mostly focus on using CorVive’s tools… Nothing about sales, recruiting, tips, strategies, etc.

This is simply not enough to help you build a full-time income especially if you are inexperienced about direct selling, network marketing, nutritional supplements, etc.

Hell, it’s not even enough to help you navigate through your dashboard…

Is CorVive Suggested?

I would suggest for someone to join CorVive as an Endorser only if they have experienced great success and awesome results by personally using the company’s products for a while.

Truth is, there are tons of MLM companies that manufacture and distribute health and wellness supplements and if you do your research you’ll probably be able to find one which is more established and not in its infancy like CorVive is, has a better compensation plan in place, and higher-quality products.

On the other hand, to tell you the truth, I am not at all fond of the MLM business model in general…

  • The success rate of MLM representatives is awfully low
  • They are way too volatile and unstable
  • You need to invest a ton of money, time, and energy until you manage to make a profit (if you ever actually make a profit)
  • And most of them focus on recruiting people instead of actually providing an actual valuable and beneficial product/service

Plus, in order to make money with the MLM business model, you’ll have to turn into a sleazy salesperson and I really hate selling as much as I hate being sold to.

  1. A rather interesting review you have here on CorVive. It seems to me like a well-justified business with legitimate easy-to-sell products. 

    However, I found it hard to comprehend the reason why a legit company like this will favor MLM over affiliate marketing. 

    I would have joyfully joined it if it wasn’t an MLM.

    1. Well, I guess they believed that the MLM business model would be more profitable both to the company as well as to its representatives…

      Since you mentioned affiliate marketing, I would like to point out that I would give the company a try if I was running an online business in the health and wellness niche.

      I would create a relevant blog or YouTube channel and then link back to my replicated CorVive website. It would be almost identical to affiliate marketing but I would probably have a higher income potential since I would be able to earn money not just by my own retail sales but through my downline’s sales as well.

  2. Thank you for clearing up the difference between an MLM company and a pyramid scheme. 

    I was not aware of these pyramid schemes at all. I have never tried to earn money on the internet before though so I had no reason to encounter this. 

    I think this is a very important bit of information. There are people looking to make money online every day. Those like me who have never done this type of thing before, are wide open to these schemes.

    It sounds very good as they describe it. When you break it down I realize just what is going on and how it is all just a trap and you can and most likely will lose money rather than make.  

    1. CorVive is not a “trap” or pyramid scheme itself… It’s a legit MLM company (at least until now).

      And the fact that the majority of MLM reps don’t make that much money doesn’t mean that you won’t make money either…

      P.S. I am not promoting or endorsing neither the company nor MLMs in general… I just want to be as objective as possible.

      Harry

  3. Although CorVive is selling legitimate products, most people probably wouldn’t make any money with it. 

    15 dollars per year is a lot cheaper than it costs to get started in most MLMs, but the $100 a month of sales comes up to $1200 per year. 

    And the products would be hard to sell. For starters, similar products can be bought elsewhere for much less. 

    Also, the replicated website probably wouldn’t get much traffic if other members are also trying to get visitors to a website with duplicate content. 

    Selling to friends and family normally wouldn’t last for long, and especially at the required volume. It looks like CorVive is one of the many MLM programs that it’s best to stay away from.   

    1. The $100 per month qualification requirement can be omitted if you get retail customers to purchase CorVive’s products themselves…

      The replicated websites are not supposed to get organic traffic but rather be marketed through social media, YouTube, forums, or maybe linked to from other blogs (you could create your own blog and then link to your replicated website).

      I agree with everything else you mentioned especially with the part that you can probably find similar supplements much cheaper…

      Thanks for sharing!

      Harry

  4. Thank you for this great article. 

    I don’t like selling or being sold to either. 

    CorVive getting 2.5 stars rating surprised me as I didn’t expect it to be legit.

    Affiliate marketing is more my style so I might go for one of your recommendations. 

    Like you said the people who join CorVive should be the people who actually use the products from this brand and actually like them. 

    Do you think that major league trading is a legit way to make money online?

    1. Well, not every MLM company is a scam. And there are still people who are earning good money with them or else every MLM in the face of the Earth would have already closed down.

      I don’t have the slightest idea about what major league trading really is. 

      But, my recommendations, Wealthy Affiliate and Project 24, teach you how to identify profitable markets as well as how to refine them in order to ensure that you will not get trampled down by your competition.

      If you play your cards right, every market can be profitable. If you play your cards wrong, even the most profitable markets could bring you no money whatsoever.

      Harry

  5. I am in the health and nutrition field and am always looking for good money-making opportunities. 

    However, I really don’t want to deal with any MLM as apparently it is very difficult to make any money with them. 

    Your review of CorVive was very helpful as it answered a lot of my questions about the company.

    I think I will need to pass on this one though… 

    Thanks!
