Hey there sea changers, and welcome back to my series of MLM reviews. Today we are going to a ‘get your metabolism moving' with my Amare Global MLM Review. This is another network marketing company that is focused on the extremely popular health and wellness market with a massive range of supplements for every need. So, what is Amare Global all about? Let's have a look and see…
What is MLM?
Multi-level marketing (MLM) programs are the traditional mainstay of the ‘party plan' world of products such as Tupperware, Mary Kay and Amway etc. and, of course, within the supplements market. As above, this is an extremely popular and lucrative niche within MLM that has grown rapidly in recent times – mainly due to the fact that much of the sales and marketing is now being managed online.

You too can start your very own online business here that can make you money from anywhere in the world!!
The ‘multi level' aspects of MLM come from its hierarchical nature in which you make commissions based not only on those that you sell to, but also the sales of those whom you ‘sign' into membership arrangements as well.
In short, the process works as follows:
- You join the program, either via referral from another person (known as your up line) or directly through their website.
- You promote the products of the company via parties, workshops or online.
- As you make sales, you offer incentives to your customers to sign up as a member of the program (there are different names for this but they all mean the same thing).
- That new member is then placed ‘underneath' you in a hierarchical arrangement (known as your down line).
- You, and a number of levels of your up line, then gain extra commissions for everything they sell as well.
- If they manage to refer their customers into memberships, they also become a member of your down line allowing you to make up line commissions as well.
The number of levels of your up and down lines will vary depending on the program you have joined. Commission rates will also change as your down line grows or contracts and many will also offer other incentives such as total company sales percentages and/or access to membership prizes as your own business grows.

MLM program outline
The Amare Global MLM program calls their members ‘Wellness Partners' who are part of what appears to be a simple program with a common retail and downline commission structure with a few extra bonus options thrown in. Their compensation plan is available on their website so here are the basics as I have found them…
Base Commission rate: 5% to 35%
Down line commission rates: 4 – 5% to 7 levels (level 1 down line is 5% – rank 1 heart and above)
Minimum monthly spend to qualify for commissions
To qualify for downline commissions, Wellness Partners (WPs) are required to meet monthly PV targets of at least 100 per month to remain ‘Active'. This can be made of personal or customer sales. This includes base sales commissions.
Payment terms: Monthly.
Application required?: Yes, Application form on website.
Purchase requirements to join: Yes
New WPs are required to pay an enrollment fee of $69.95 with the option for a Launch pack @ $749.95 which includes:
- $69.95 Membership Fee Waived
- 20 FREE Samples ($79.90 Value)
- 25% SSR Earning Rate
- 187 SSR Points
- 150 Trip Points
Marketing materials provided: As per starter kit above.
Within most MLM programs, rankings and commissions are determined by the total personal volume (PV) generated by the WP and their down line (measured in OV) within a calendar month with points assigned to each product. These point allocations can range from 50 to 100% of the retail price of each product (before tax and shipping) and vary from item to item and currency of sale.
In the case of the Amare Global MLM program, I was unable to locate any information as to how PV is calculated directly within their compensation plan however from some research, PV points look to be assigned at around 80% of the retail price.

How can I get paid?
Ok, so from what I can garner from the compensation plan and other Amare Global reviews, there are 6 ways in which WPs can make money when they promote and sell Amare Global items. These are fairly straight forward and there are a few of the extra bonuses found in many other MLM arrangements. The 6 payment options for the Amare Global MLM program are outlined as follows:
1. Personal Customer Volume Bonus
These are the base commissions earned by the general day to day retail sales that WPs can generate via parties, popups, social media or online via their personalized website. The base Personal Customer Volume Bonus is paid as follows:
However, new WPs to the program are designated as being within their Heart Start Period for their first 60 days of enrollment. Within this period, the Personal Customer Volume Bonus is adjusted as below:
2. Heart Start Bonus
Designed to entice sponsors to assist their new WPs to earn income quickly, the Heart Start Bonus provides them with extra commissions based on the sales of their new downline members. Upline bonuses are paid to 3 levels on all sales made by new WPs within their Heart Start Period as follows:
3. Me And Three Bonus
The Me And Three Bonus is built around recruitment with payments in two tiers as follows:
- Sponsoring WPs earn a $135 Bonus when they personally enroll three people who purchase on Subscribe & Save with at least 100 PV that month.
- They can then earn an additional $250 bonus when they have three people on their team that earn their own Me and Three Bonus.
5. Unilevel Bonus
The Unilevel Bonus is Amare Global's version of the traditional unilevel commission structures prevalent within many MLM programs. Within the Amare Global MLM program, commissions are paid to 7 levels based on the rank of the WP as follows:
6. Revenue Bonus Pools
The Revenue Bonus Pools are earned and paid each month to Silver Heart Mentor ranks and above. They collectively represent seven percent of the Company Commissionable Volume as follows:
- The Mentor Pool (2%)
- The Leader Pool (2%)
- The Servant Leader Pools (3 separate pools at 1% each)
A WP qualifies to earn one or more shares from these pools, paid pro rata, each month that they meet the rank requirements.
Ranking Structure
Amare Global, as with most MLM programs, uses ranking structures on which to base commission payments and other bonuses upon. Rankings for the Amare Global MLM program are as follows (note personal and team sales qualification targets as well):
Again, as is common with almost all MLM programs, rank progression is determined by both the number of members within the WP's downline, and the total sales made by those members per month. Ranks can rise and fall based on the ability (or dis-ability) to reach the required member and sales targets.
What is good about it?
So, after a good look around the site and looking at all the options I could find, I do like the following:
- Program is simple and easy to follow.
- Base level commissions are good for higher ranking levels.
What is no so good about it?
There are also some things to be aware of including:
- There are some joining costs.
- Sales targets are required for all commissions.
- Base commission rates for lower ranks are low.
How much can you make?
Amare Global does not provide an income disclosure statement on its website however as with most MLM programs, it has to be assumed from the compensation plan that the percentage of members making the upper rank levels – and hence earning a living – is very low (usually less than 1%).
My final thoughts
Look, MLM is not an easy platform to make money in and there is not much that I have seen here to put this program above the many others I have seen. However, the program is pretty straight forward with common commission arrangements and the ability to make sales online or via the party plan model. This program definitely looks to favour those at the higher ranks so if you are passionate about these products with a large customer list at your disposal and willing to work to climb the ranking chart, then the base commission rates might just appeal here.
Once you have joined, there are not the usual financial pressures of needing to make minimum personal purchases in order to qualify for commissions as long as you can make them within your down line. The downside here however is that you cannot earn base commissions without meeting sales targets meaning you may also need to bump up your personal purchase quota if customer sales alone are not enough for you to remain ‘Active'.
I was unable to locate any negative reviews in terms of non-payment etc. although there were some negative comments about the quality of customer service and the MLM program itself – although it was not really anything that is uncommon in regards to MLM programs or products within this niche.
