Finish Line Network Review – A New MLM Company Exposed!

Finish Line Network Review – A New MLM Company Exposed!

Welcome to my Finish Line Network review!

When I first came across this review back in 2018, there was nothing but a launch page, so there was practically nothing to review. 

But when I visited them a week ago, I found that they had already launched and I gathered enough information to get a decent review. 

This is Finish Line Network. 

First of all, I must Congratulate you for taking your time to do your own research before buying into any "seemingly good" product.

That's the way to avoid scams and find the legitimate way to make money online!

Let me be completely transparent with you, I'm not associated with Finish Line Network in any form.

So, rest assured that I'm not here to pitch or sell anything to you.

Instead, I'm here to reveal what makes this new MLM company unique and what they bring to the table in terms of business opportunities. 

Is Finish Line Network a scam? 

Find out in my review.

Finish Line Network Review Image Summary

Summary:  Finish Line Network is a new MLM company that was launched in the later half of 2018, and it appears to be a reboot of another MLM program that was developed by one of the founders.  While it's ideal to join any MLM program when it's just starting, something's not right with FLN, and I can't put my finger around it. I'm probably not confident enough to recommend this to anyone because they work similarly like a pyramid scheme and they remind me of two other programs that got flagged by the FTC (See what I'm talking about in this article). Second, I don't think you could ever get your money back even if you did get in early.  At this point in time, it's still too early to tell if they're going to be successful or not but even then, I don't want anyone to join this program.

What is Finish Line Network?

Finish Line Network (FLN) is a MLM or multi-level marketing system that sells Internet marketing-related products.

The company launched sometime later in 2018, and from what I could gather, these appear to be the founders:

Finish Line Network Founders
  1. Joel & Kitty Kellman (Part owners of the lead generation tool Online Sales Pro)
  2. Paul Counts
  3. Doug Wellens
  4. Greg Chambers
  5. Todd McCart
  6. Chad Stalvey

Greg Chambers and Doug Wellens are also founders of another MLM business called Traffic Authority, which appeared to sell traffic generating products. 

Now, this review needs to be taken with a grain of salt since this is a relatively new MLM company and it’s too early to tell if it’s a scam or not.

Finish Line Network Product Line

Finish Line Network combines three different systems: network marketing, Internet marketing, and online marketing.

That’s according to their introductory video, by the way.

Through their system, they assure members that they’re breaking through a billion-plus dollar market.

The Finish Line Network product line consists of FOUR main products:

Finish Line Network Products

1. Silver Package - $47 per month

This package is a lead management platform that also comes with an app.

Basically, it allows you to run your business from your phone by helping you drive leads and sales to various “business opportunities”, including FLN.

2. Gold Package - $130 per month or $2,997 for a 3-year subscription

The Gold Package includes virtual live events and training that’re supposedly run by the top marketers and influencers.

Again, the purpose of this package is to help you make money promoting your business, FLN, and other offers.

3. Email Profits On Demand (ePOD) - $1,997 for the entire package

ePOD is an email marketing training program designed to take you from newbie to digital marketing expert by using proven mail marketing strategies.

While email marketing is an important aspect of doing business online, I can’t help but think that there needs to be some serious value for this training package to justify the price.

4. High Ticket Live Events - $997 onwards

Just like ePOD, High Ticket Live Events contains a series of digital marketing events where marketers share their secrets to success.

Their first event will be taking place on January 19 in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Does The Product Work?

Now, it’s possible that there’s some great value contained within their 4 products.

But learning how to attract people, generate and manage leads, and close sales are some of the important things that every marketer needs.

With that said, it’s difficult to gauge if their products work or not, let alone provide value.

Because their company is so new, no one has come forward yet to provide testimony about their program.

However, you’re going to be spending thousands of dollars on their program just to guarantee that you’re going to earn some income.

If you’re going to do that, you want to be at least sure that there’s a tangible benefit to the products themselves.

How To Make Money With Finish Line Network?

Just because they’re a new MLM company doesn’t mean they have something new to bring to the money-making side of things.

Like any other MLM company, Finish Line Network allows you to earn via two means:

  1. Commissions on sales
  2. Residual income and bonuses

And of course, they’re reliant mostly on email marketing and Internet marketing to get the word out to their customers.

That’s how I heard of them in the first place.

How To Get Started With Finish Line Network?

You’d think that purchasing any of their products would automatically turn you into a member.

That’s not the case though.

You need to pay $20 a month to get into the program, but if you want to get product-based commissions, here’s what you’re paying:

  1. $3171 and then $177 a month separately (monthly Gold subscription)
  2. $6038, $47 a month and $2997 every three years (three-year Gold subscription)

There’s also something about an “ALL-IN” Membership, but I couldn’t find any other detail for that package.

Finish Line Network Compensation Plan

Finish Line Network’s compensation plan allows you to earn via commissions and bonuses.

I won’t go much into the details, so I’ll just briefly note what’s important.

  1. Direct Commissions – You earn a 50% commission when someone you recruit buys one of the four main products. This increases to 80% once you go past your 7th sale.
  2. Residual Commissions – Any sales activity on your downline allows you to earn a commission following a unilevel downline system.
  3. The Bonus Pool – FLN takes 20% of the whole commissionable amount and allocates it to a bonus pool where affiliates can share in the company profits.

This video should cover more ground and explain more about their other aspects like their ranking system:

Finish Line Network Ugly Truths Revealed!

#1 – It Has The Makings Of A Pyramid Scheme

Note that I am not concluding that it’s a pyramid scheme, but it has the makings of one.

First and foremost, it’s reliant mostly on recruiting to bring in most of your income, and that’s based on FTC or Federal Trade Commission Guidelines.

Granted, there are products that you can sell to bring in income (direct commissions), the other bonuses appear to rely heavily on recruiting more people.

Secondly, the program is similar to two other programs that were shutdown by the FTC, namely MOBE (My Own Business Education) and Digital Altitude.

Home Income System MOBE Really

Yes, really!

Their business models were considered illegal by the FTC, and somehow, it’s similar to FLN’s as well.

Now, I am not saying that FLN is an outright pyramid scheme. I don’t have enough proof of that, and I would leave that classification to the FTC.

I am merely pointing out that it works like a pyramid scheme, so that’s something to be wary of.

#2 – It’s Difficult To Get Your Money Back

The odds are stacked against you, financially.

Even if they’re not a pyramid scheme, you’re still going to have a hard time getting your money back if you’re at the bottom of the system.

The way I see it, systems like these put beginners in a hard place because there’s little to no chance of getting their money back.

That, and I also happened to read their Income Section of their legal document, which is somewhat similar to an income disclosure statement.

Finish Line Network Income Disclosure Statement

Highlighting the important part, they are projecting that affiliates can earn an average annual income of at least $300 and could go as high as $1800.

That’s roughly $25 a month in a year on passive income. I think survey and GPT (Get Paid To) sites have a higher rate of income than FLN.

Supposing I do earn $25 a month on their system, you want to know how long it takes to get my investment back?

 If I signed up for the $3171 Gold Package, that’s going to take me 126 months at a rate of $25 per month.

That’s 10 and a half years!

#3 – A Rehashed Version Of Two Other MLM’s

When I looked at their list of founders and FLN’s system, it appears that this is nothing more than an improved version of Traffic Authority.

Now, I skimmed through the reviews of Traffic Authority (it probably deserves its own review in this site), but I could tell that there was nothing good about the site. 

And I don't mean that they're doing something illegal by the way. 

It's just that their program is completely underwhelming despite the fact that the members are paying a huge price tag for the products.

You’re basically just paying your way to win into their program, and the more money you shell out, you’re also going to earn more.  

What I Like About Finish Line Network?

At this time of writing, I don’t think that I have anything positive worth mentioning about Finish Line Network.

First, they’re a new company and there’s not enough for me to go on except for what I’ve got from their official homepage.

Is Finish Line Network A Scam?

Finish Line Network appears to be a legitimate MLM company that provides a somewhat okay business opportunity.

I am saying this because it’s too early to tell whether or not you can actually make a lot of money in the long run.

But right now, I can tell you that your money is better off elsewhere.

I don’t like how they’re operating like a pyramid scheme because of their intense focus on rewarding recruitment over products sold.

I don’t like how you can’t get your money back within a reasonable time frame. 10 years for a $3000 investment is a long time!

And on top of that, the products are quite expensive as well.

With that said, nothing’s proven yet that they are in fact a pyramid scheme and I would leave that to the governing bodies like the FTC to decide.

How I Make A Living Online? 

I'm not a fan of MLM, not because it's illegal or not profitable, but because of all the restrictions and the expensive costs involved.

Instead, Affiliate Marketing is my top recommended business model for anyone to make money online.

The reason is simple...

  • You don't have to recruit anyone to make money
  • You have the freedom to promote any products you want and not being restricted to only promote the products from one MLM company
  • It's Free to get started

In fact, with affiliate marketing...

I've personally created a 4-Figure Monthly Passive Income Stream and become financially independent at just 21 years old without any College degree or working experience!

Through my own hard work, I went from a broke restaurant waiter to living my dream laptop lifestyle in less than a year's time...
