Founded in 2001, 5linx is a multi-level marketing company based in Rochester, New York. They offer a wide variety of things ranging from utilities and telecommunications, health insurance, nutritional supplements, and business services.

Additionally, they offer a business or income opportunity for those who are interested in earning an income stream from home by marketing their business or products. To answer if you can make money with 5Linx, you have to understand the company and that is exactly my goal in doing this review.

The thing:

By The Thing, I mean your products or services offered. As mentioned above, 5Linx offers telecommunication and utility services, health insurance, nutritional supplements, and business services. We will examine a few and I will also give a brief explanation of the few that I list.

They offer 3 main categories with several subcategories in each. The 3 main categories are Home, Wellness and Business.

1. Home/Platinum Discount Network – This service is all about saving money! The current average savings for a member is $1,500 per year. You can use this service to save money on just about everything you probably already buy on a daily basis. They also offer the ability to save up to 50% on America’s best brands.
2. Wellness/Nutrition/Hi5 Challenge – They offer shakes and supplements of their Hi5, which is designed to provide your body with more energy, a higher metabolism, and promote muscle growth.
3. Business/Security System – This is a security system for your business designed to provide 24 hour monitoring, alarm systems and state of the art security equipment.

The opportunity:

The question still remains; Can you really make money with 5Linx? Well, to find the answer we must first investigate their Compensation Plan. The compensation plan is the way companies pay their members, distributors, affiliates, consultants, or whatever you want to call them.

5Linx has 6 different payouts including Monthly Residuals & Overrides, Weekly Customer Acquisition Bonus, Customer Bonus Pool, Income Pool, SVP Incentive Bonuses, and Platinum Pool. I’ll briefly discuss a few below!

1. Monthly residuals and cancellations – This payment occurs in three ways: personal, open line and generational. Línea Abierta Commissions are paid to your organization’s Residual Customers based on their rank and number of customers. For example, if you have 30 Recurring Customers, you will earn a 15% Commission on their purchases.
2. Customer Bonus Pool – Depending on the number of customers you have generated in your business, you will receive a monthly payment. For example, if you have 50 Customers, you will earn $250 each month. If you have 100 Customers, you will earn $500 each month in residual income.
3. Platinum Group – Upon reaching the rank of Platinum, you can earn 1% of all product sales!

To conclude, yes, you can make money with 5Linx!

The cost:

For some people, this is the most important question that needs to be answered before even considering joining a business like this. Understand that you are opening your own type of business by joining. All businesses require some sort of startup cost. However, in the multi-level marketing industry, it is generally much cheaper than starting a traditional type of business. With that being said, let’s move on!

If you want to get started and start making money trading the 5Linx company or products, there are 3 purchase options for you to choose from!

1. Independent Marketing Representative – $199.00. If you decide that this is the option you would like to choose, you will simply be able to earn residual commissions by marketing your company or products.
2. Leader Starter Pack – $499.00. If you decide this option is more appealing to you, you’ll get an Energy Certification, a Smart Builder to help grow your business, a Box of Hi5 Edge, a Box of Hi5 Boost, a Box of Hi5 Lean, a Pack of 12 Boxes of Hi5 Fuel, holds 12 oz. One MontaVida bag, one box of MontaVida ct coffee mugs, 40 $10 gift cards, and your $199 sign-up fee will be paid for to become an Independent Marketing Representative.
3. VIP starter pack – $999.00. If this option is for you, it includes your $199 registration fee to become an Independent Marketing Representative, Smart Builder, 3 boxes of Hi5 Edge, 3 boxes of Hi5 Boost, 3 boxes of Hi5 Lean, 3 boxes of twelve packs of Hi5 fuel, 3 twelve ounce bags of MontaVida, 3 cases of MontaVida 30ct beer mugs, a ticket to an international event hosted by 5Linx and 100 $10 gift cards. This is their most expensive starter package on offer and is for the most serious home-based business entrepreneur.

Final thoughts:

5Linx offers a ton of products and services for everyday needs. It’s not hard to see the value in the company’s product lines. Your opportunity is vast and lucrative too! However, in order to maximize your earnings with your compensation plan, you must understand how to effectively network market. Fortunately, network marketing can be very easily taught and learned in a matter of months! The cost is incredible and flexible, due to the fact that they offer 3 options in total. Also, with the Leader and the VIP Starter Pack, they offer a very good amount of products.
