When looking for a great opportunity to make money online, the odds are that you mostly find great ways to lose time and money.

Why? Because you’re in a weak position due to the frustrating urgency to escape poverty, which also limits your freedom and makes you feel like shit in front of others.

So, you want to believe that what you’re seeing is true.

That’s why you risk being an easy victim of the typical internet sharks each time disguised in the “new best business opportunity ever invented,” “the opportunity of your life,” where you need to act quickly to be among the first ones because soon it will be all over the world, offices everywhere, blah bl bla and so on to to use always same precise technique to manipulate people.

In 99% of the cases, you stumble into the biggest scam of the moment.

Being in business since the beginning of the ’90s, I’ve seen it all and, as part of my work, is to see what competitors offer; I’ve even been a victim of these sharks multiple times.

The pattern is always the same: a few weeks or even months of a storm, where loads of naive and inexperienced people combined with the usual sharks, squawk like geese left and right, desperately searching for other gullible people like lore.

If you’ve been in business long enough, I’m sure you’ve seen this ridiculous scenario repeatedly. And, if you go and search now for any of those “never seen before opportunities,” you won’t find them anymore.

This doesn’t mean that 100% of what you stumble into are scams.

There are also good-looking projects even created by someone with goodwill.

But, in most cases, they don’t make sense on the market. In this case, at least you don’t risk going to jail. But in the best-case scenario, as they last a few months or even a couple of years, they just waste your time, energy, and money.

A few tens of dollars to create all kinds of disguised rubbish.

Usually, disguised under some well-presented package, you find all kinds of rubbish: HYIP/Ponzi/Pyramid, crypto stuff, etc, etc.

It’s easy for them to do it because everybody can buy a ready-to-go script for a few tens of dollars. With a few bucks, they pay an excellent designer and a copywriter, and the scam is ready and empowered by all those poor people in need who are initially unaware of how the online scam industry works.

When you’re in front of a typical junk opportunity, they often tell you things like, “Act fast, the business just started, and you have to take the best position because then it will be huge; we will open offices in every country, you’ll be cut off, bla bla bla.”

The Reality is that if you have to do with a real, legitimate Network Marketing business, you could even join ten or more years after (because they will still exist) and earn more than those who joined it the first day.

The same story has been repeated millions of times since the internet existed. And, incredibly, loads of people keep falling into it.

I love Network Marketing, not junky “opportunities.”

I love Network marketing; those who know my story know that I fell in love with it about 25 years ago because it literally saved me and my family from a terrible situation.

Since then, I understood it was my call. It was about helping desperate families like mine lift their heads and regain their self-esteem and dignity. Because yes, they may go under your shoes when you’re broke.

In 1997 I started to learn everything I could about this new (for me) world, and soon it became my profession. My full-time business.

Nevertheless, I rapidly understood “traditional” Network Marketing has some big limits.

One for all? I already mentioned that the products are often nonsense stuff created just to cover and justify the scheme.

Here at Clubshop, if we wanted to, in just a couple of weeks, we could create all those junky white-label products and much more in a couple of days. And with much better quality and prices. Guaranteed.

But let’s forget about that and talk only about the sort of companies that actually tried to offer good quality products in Network Marketing and disappeared.

In fact, even if certain companies start by selling some excellent and unique products (which they usually are not) and they initially succeed with them, soon these products lose their appeal, and if you work with them, you instantly realize that nobody apart from your mother and sister who loves you, want them.

Why? Because If they are good, they are rapidly copied by countless companies who can sell them at a much lower price, and everybody can find the same product at every corner store for much less.

Of course, this doesn’t mean 100% of (genuine) Network Marketing companies fail. In fact, some giant companies are still on the market after decades. Everybody knows them. And despite better and worse moments, they’re worth billions.

You can see some of them in the image below.

But, sincerely, would you work today with any of them? I wouldn’t, for reasons that I won’t explain here.

But at least these ones are real.

Instead, in this article, I’m talking about all that plethora of pseudo “business opportunities” that show up every day somewhere in the world, stealing a few bucks from countless naive people just to disappear after a while.

How is Clubshop Different?

Clubshop was founded in Englewood, Florida, by Dick Burke, an experienced and highly successful Amway distributor, with the aim of overcoming the typical limits Dick understood network marketing had.

In June 1997 Dick invented a brand new business model that, at that time, in the internet prehistory, didn’t exist and that, throughout the decades, countless “companies” tried to copy.

It was a revolutionary concept: instead of selling a small line of overpriced products created to remunerate multiple levels of distributors, he came out with a completely different approach:

To build a vast self-sufficient community of retailers and consumers to create never seen before synergies among them to increase people buying power and retailers’ turnover simultaneously.

WOW! It was a great concept, indeed. I fell in love with it and started working with Clubshop (then named “The DHS Club, Inc.) on January 31st, 2001. Four years after the day when Dick Founded the company!

The Clubshop Mission.

• To join individual consumers together to form a vast buyer’s cooperative, thereby gaining tremendous consolidated buying power so that our Members may purchase products and services at the lowest possible cost.
• To extend the advantages of the Free Enterprise System to anyone who seeks to increase their monthly income.
• To promote the principles of FREEDOM and democracy that are embraced within the U.S. Constitution.
• To encourage the development of a vast, self-sufficient, economic community of “people helping people” and the individual development of the whole person.

In a few words, we’re helping ordinary people to build extraordinary lives.

The entire Clubshop mission that Dick wrote in 1997 was strong traction for me.

At that time, I was already working in Network Marketing with a Startup that we rapidly brought public in the Italian stock exchange.

I brought my experience into Clubshop in January 2001. Since starting, I have been enthusiastic, 100% devoted to the mission, and committed to doing whatever I could to help the company pursue it. That MISSION was something much bigger and more important than my personal interest.

Making money was the natural consequence.

The Last Arrived Became A Top Leader!

In 2001 Clubshop had already millions of Members and tens of thousands of V.I.P. (Vested Income Partners), what today we simply call Partners.

After a few months, I became one of the World’s top leaders and number 1 in Europe, even though I joined the company four years after its launch. How could it be possible? Firstly, because Clubshop is a genuine and legitimate business, not a pyramid that rewards the first more than the last or where the last ones lose their money.

But do you wanna know the real secret? My attitude!

From the very beginning, even before earning any money, I was filled with joy, passion, enthusiasm, and complete dedication. I made the bold decision to burn the ships in the harbor, fully committing myself to my goals by helping others with kindness and integrity and teaching others to do the same.

That’s how I attracted people like me, to help me pursue the same mission.

One for all? Giuseppe Francavilla!

If it was not for my attitude, instead of Giuseppe, I would have probably met only negative, skeptical, frustrated, and disruptive people.

The most copied business ever existed.

in 1997, Dick invented not only a fantastic new business model.

He also invented some extraordinary techniques and tools that really had se Clubshop apart from whatever existed until then.

The Taproot Networking Technique (TNT) has been revisited and optimized throughout the decades and is one of the most Clubshop copied aspects.

Many have tried to imitate our TNT, disguising it under other weird names.

Even today, perhaps more than ever, this phenomenon keeps happening.

But we find it cute; it makes us proud of being The Clubshop. The source of everything. And not one of those millions of temporary “opportunities” that, unfortunately, only damage the entire industry’s credibility.

The Clubshop’s second life.

Proprofit Worldwide Limited is a UK-based company that Giuseppe and I founded in 2013.

In 2018, we decided to acquire the Clubshop from Dick to continue pursuing its mission and expanding Clubshop to achieve dimensions never seen before.

We understand the importance of improving the lives of people all over the world, and we’re fully committed to that goal.

Our plans are designed to achieve this noble objective, and we’re dedicated to making it happen in any way we can. That’s why we have such big projects to complete in the very next future.

Your well-being is our top priority, and we won’t stop until we’ve accomplished our mission.

Deo Juvante!
