Divvee Review
Divvee is a social buying app that claims is gives people the ability to make money for buying many of the products that they purchase on a regular basis. When explained, Divvee resembles a multi-level marketing firm that wishes to find affiliates to join a network and then share the Divvee app with others.
The Company
The Divvee website offers little information about the company. The site looks legitimate but has little substance, only referring to itself as a marketing system that provides a source of income. Learning anything about the company or its leadership requires watching the video on the website or doing outside research.
In addition to the video on the website, there are a slew of promotional videos that can be found online that discuss the company and the opportunity, although they are designed more to create excitement than provide credible information.
From research, one can find that Divvee is owned by Allen Davis and has offices in Utah. From his LinkedIn profile, we can learn that Davis has experience in the multi-level marketing industry, but in a legal capacity.
He has worked as General Counsel for MLM firms, run his own law firm, and also acted as an executive for an MLM company called Qnique, although that company has been shut down.
We can also gather that Divvee is a relatively young company, as the website domain was not registered until December 2015, making the company barely six months old. Divvee also has a Facebook page with over 1,000 likes and a few dozen positive reviews, adding legitimacy to the company despite a website that lacks concrete information.
Divvee Product
Divvee does not have a product line that it sells. It is simply an app that allows users to earn points and make money for buying products through third parties. The company does not sell products other than its app. Many of the videos that discuss the company are not specific about what products a person has to buy in order to make money from Divvee.
The Opportunity
Joining Divvee requires an Affiliate Enrollment Fee of $25, which is actually a yearly fee, as well as a monthly membership fee of $9.95. This gives affiliates access to the Divvee app, which claims to provide deals on certain products and the ability to partake in the Divvee Rewards Program.
Some of the company’s promotional videos try to make it sound as simple as downloading the app, imploring 10 others to download the app, and then simply buying products as usual as a way to earn discounts and make money. However, it’s not quite that simple. Like other MLM firms, Divvee has a complex compensation plan that one will want to study carefully before signing up as an affiliate.
After signing up, affiliates will earn money for each customer and new affiliate they sign up for Divvee. This becomes a monthly income for as that person keeps up with monthly requirements. There are also matrix and uni-level commission plans that encourage affiliates to continue signing up others with Divvee and build a network of customers and affiliates, as is the case with any other multi-level marketing company.
The Verdict
Despite having a website that provides little information about the company, Divvee appears to be a legitimate firm. There’s enough web videos available providing basic information about the company, as well as a Facebook page that adds a level of credibility.
The way that Divvee sets up its compensation plan, there’s a chance to make money, at least in theory. But there are more than a few things to be concerned about with Divvee. Davis’ past, specifically his failed venture with a previous MLM company, is cause for concern. With Divvee being such a young company, Davis hasn’t had enough time to prove that this venture will be any different from his last.
There should also be some concern when it comes to how important it is to recruit affiliates and customers. Without recruitment, it will be difficult to make a significant amount of money with Divvee, especially considering the monthly fee of $9.95 on top of the $25 yearly fee. There is also uncertainty about the products you can buy and what products you need others to buy in order to make a commission.
Taking all of this in mind, one would be wise to take a wait-and-see approach with Divvee to see how the company fares over time and before jumping on board with a young company that has such obvious drawbacks and concerns.
