5LINX Review

In Business Since: 2001

Comments: Whether you are interested in working at home and making a living or you are just looking to make a few hundred dollars in supplemental income, one of the opportunities that you are sure to come across is the one that is offered by the 5LINX company. The 5LINX approach to business and communication is one that appeals to many small entrepreneurs who are just getting started, but what does it really offer? There are many different points of view on the 5LINX opportunities and with a little bit more information you can figure out.

One thing in 5LINX's favor is that is up front about the fact that there are no returns guaranteed. They openly admit that the money making potential is dependent on a individual representative's initiative and efforts. While the numbers they offer are not terribly promising, the fact that they offer them up at all definitely is. Their annual earnings statement is fairly down to earth.

Advantages: 5LINX is known for fairly good tool use; signing on with 5LINX does connote a certain level of support which is hard to find in other, similar opportunities, and there are several testimonials that speak highly of the company.

Disadvantages: Lots of general competition along with others in this industry like ACN.In many ways, 5LINX is more than something of a dark horse when it comes to internet businesses. It's history can not be easily discerned and it lacks the years of experience offered by similar companies. While 5LINX may make the grade and be one of the organizations that lasts indefinitely, there is still too little information about the company now to make a good decision either for or against it.
