The graph is completely misleading as it used exponential scale instead of linear, and they cut off the super earners to second graph to "even out" the bars.

But does it contain funny math?

So folks, can you, based on this income disclosure, calculate how much Vemma paid out in commission TOTAL in 2013? I thought you can, and I got a number that made no sense. So, please, do it your way, or tell me that "you dummy! You can't do that!"

Then I'll explain why I said the number made no sense.

Each affiliate averages a whopping 2.34 customers. That explains why the vast majority of suckers at the bottom can't make any money. The lack of retail sales is so readily apparent.

What's really interesting is how did they get EXACTLY 70% customers vs. 30% affiliates?

But Soapboxmom... Care to do the math and tell me how much you think Vemma paid the affiliates in 2013? TOTAL?
