Crowd1 Negative Challenges.

Does Crowd1 have real customers?

‍‍

‍

What does Crowd1 sell?

Currently, Crowd1 sells education and training packages. However, through our affiliate partners we offer various apps, software and services. During Q2 of 2020, ICT will provide Crowd1 with additional products and services that the member network can re-sell and make extra income from.

Members purchase an education and training package when they become members of Crowd1. Choosing to upgrade an education package or attend any of our member events (some events require a ticket purchase) is voluntary.‍

‍

Do people in Crowd1 focus more on recruiting than selling products?

ICT’s primary objective will be to supply Crowd1's members with a library of products, apps, software and services to recommend and sell. For each sale, Crowd1 members will receive a commission. Hence, commissions paid will primarily be as a result of the sale of products/services (provided by ICT). For this reason, ICT is currently recruiting a Product Team whose main objective will be to find suitable products for Crowd1's membership base.

‍‍

No. Crowd1’s portfolio of products consists of software and apps.

‍‍

Is Crowd1 a cult?  

No, Crowd1 is not a cult. But we are fortunate to have enthusiastic members.

‍‍

Is Crowd1 a pyramid scheme?  

No. A lack of understanding – especially on social media – has resulted in scores of reputable crowd marketing and online networking companies being labelled this way.

‍‍

Does a member who has joined early make all the money?  

No, this is a common misconception. There is not a direct link between when a member joins Crowd1 and how much money he/she can make. However, earnings depend on each member's ability to grow their network of customers and the sales of apps, software(s) and services.

‍‍

Some of your shareholders seem to have been involved in controversy.  

As with all entrepreneurship, failure is common. According to Forbes, up to 90% of all start-ups fold. It’s hard to succeed”. Failure is simply part of a long learning curve that (hopefully) leads to fewer mistakes in future.
