Three Silver Coin Investment Programs Compared

With more people waking up to the importance of protecting one’s wealth from the evils of inflation with silver and gold, there have been numerous silver coin programs appearing online almost overnight. The price of silver has risen from about $3.50 an ounce in 2000 to almost $19.00 an ounce today. Most experts agree that the price of silver is poised for exponential growth in the next several years. Combine that with the devaluation of the U.S. Dollar and you can clearly see what has fueled a growing trend of people becoming more interested in Silver coins.

In this article I will explore some of the pros and cons of several of the more popular silver coin investment programs to help you choose which might be best for you. As with any business opportunity, you should do your due diligence and carefully evaluate the program you’re interested in before joining any of them.

One of the oldest programs is called Silver Snowball created by Ed Freeman. It is a simple “Coin of the Month” program combined with a single-tier affiliate program that allows its members to get real .999 silver bullion American Eagle coins every month in the mail. Since the first day American Eagle Silver Dollars were released in 1986, they’ve been the most highly prized and most popular Silver Bullion Coins in the world! The company also provides its members with a replicated website to promote the “coin of the month” program to others and you earn 1 silver coin for every two your customers order from the website.

Silver Snowball is a great silver accumulation program ideally suited for most people. Its affiliate program is amongst the simplest, yet it doesn’t seem to appeal to MLMers who like growing an organization and earn from the efforts of others. Unlike the traditional MLM approach, there is no recruiting, sponsoring, or matrix building with Silver Snowball; only commissions earned from direct sales to customers of its silver/gold accumulation program.

Numis Network burst onto the network marketing scene with an exciting MLM compensation plan that attracted mostly MLM heavy hitters with flashy websites and a hyped advertising pitch. Numis Network focuses on graded silver and gold collectible numismatic coins rather than Silver Bullion coins. These coins are best suited for knowledgeable collectors who understand the value of rare coins. Numismatic coins carry a higher premium to purchase compared to standard bullion coins and when you try to resell them; you need to find the right buyer willing to pay the price you want.

For the experienced MLMer who can grow large dowlines and teach them to do the same, Numis might be the right choice. For the average person, on the other hand, without the specialized knowledge of numismatic coins and a large following willing to pay the high cost of entry and purchase pricey collectible numismatic coins; Numis Network is beyond their reach.

XAG Network is one of the newer precious metal investment programs that has exploded on the MLM landscape.

XAG is the currency symbol for Silver. Their product is standard uncirculated .9999 pure Silver bullion coins from various government mints that can be purchased at a very reasonable cost. The Silver Bullion coins most in demand are the America Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, Australian Kookaburra, Austrian Philharmonic, Chinese Panda and Mexican Liberated. XAG network features the Canadian Maple Leaf, the purest silver bullion coin minted by any government.

What has excited most network marketers is the XAG Network 5×8 forced matrix; allowing a great opportunity for the silver enthusiast that believes in the network marketing model to earn both retail sales commissions and residual commissions from their entire team. This is the most popular way to earn in the Network Marketing industry and is a very affordable alternative to the more expensive programs. With a 5×8 forced matrix, there are only five people on the first level with others spilling over below those 5 members down eight levels. XAG Network has three membership levels to choose from making it easy for the beginner or experienced network marketer to launch their own silver coin business.

There is no doubt a serious amount of money to be made in the silver bullion market as more and more people are flocking to the safety of silver and gold. Fiat currencies are being devalued around the world and people are losing most of their purchasing power.

If you want something that is a true store of value, want to protect your wealth, and have a flair for Internet marketing or network marketing, then a silver investment program deserves your immediate attention.
