Market America, Inc.

This form of self-employment is a hybrid between franchising, internet marketing, and traditional businesses.  We take the best of each one to create a business concept called the 'UnFranchise.'  It can become a 'Self-Employment Trap' if you don't use it to build an organization that can run independently from you.  If you do build one - then an UnFranchise® is an ideal business system for people like us - who want more income but don't want another job.  

UnFranchise® is a registered trade name of Market America, Inc.  Market America is a privately held retail giant with a global reach and a data-driven affiliate program.  You can get paid for purchases made by your own 'preferred customers' who shop at Market America's 'partner stores' and up to 50% on Market America's own proprietary branded products and services.

Market America | Shop.com serves millions of preferred customers world wide and provides Independent UnFranchise® Owners with an affiliate (partner store) relationship to approximately 3,000 businesses like Hilton Hotels, Saks Fifth Avenue, Cabela's & Bass Pro Shops, Home Depot, Target, Dillards, Jet,  AutoZone, WalMart & Sam's Club, Callaway Golf, Wayfair, Fabletics, SeaWorld Parks and many other names you know in just about every category.  

We are Independent UnFranchise® Owners with Market America, Inc. | Shop.com who provide digital marketing services.

In order to scale, one requires recruiting people while the other does not.

An UnFranchise® is a system that smartly leverages people into a marketing and sales organization that can run independently from you.  However, it can become what's called a 'Self-Employment Trap' if you don't actually build an organization that runs independently from you.  That's why the UnFranchise® parent company, Market America Inc. requires every Independent UnFranchise® Owner to recruit others and participate as a leader in order to qualify for the Management Performance Compensation Plan (MPCP) if you want to get paid group commissions via their system.  Organizing people into teams to get more work done is perhaps the oldest form of leverage.  It requires varying amounts of your personal time, effort, resources, and money.  While it gives the average person a way to earn an above average income with only a part-time effort - I've found what I consider an even better way to scale any business.  Employ Agentic AI.  

You can buy back your time with Agentic AI.  Use it to help run your own Independent UnFranchise® Business.

The CompanyAxis Network empowers members with Agentic AI.  That means a solopreneur can now have a powerful Ai digital assistant today in 2026, one that reasons, makes independent decisions [within defined parameters], and emulates a human using a telephone, keyboard, and mouse.  The result is that you can now scale any micro-business without hiring by having your own cost effective tireless virtual team members performing repetitive digital work 24/7.  

Others will want to duplicate your system and that's how you'll succeed!

It's not a business you can sell - so in my book - it's NOT a business.  It's a job you own and always will be.  You can leave it (pass it down) to your heirs via an appropriate estate plan but neither you nor your heirs can ever sell it.  Nothing is impossible so an extremely rare exception could be made but only with the permission of Market America Inc. so don't let yourself be misled - a real business usually doesn't require permission from a third party to be sold.  

Look, Market America Inc. is a Network Marketing Company.  If you're going to be one of their distributors then you should know that every individual you recruit to be an 'Independent UnFranchise® Owner' will have a direct relationship with Market America Inc.  That's what I like about it but - that means the sales organization you lead, the one you built or helped to build, the one you may be earning group commissions on - isn't yours.

Market America Inc. is a privately-held corporation with owners who have publicly stated that they intend to keep it private.  That means you'll likely never own any part of it and won't participate in its overall success.  No Capital Gains, only Cash Flow which is limited to what's generated by your own down-line sales organization - the one that's not really yours.  In addition, the company can and will terminate your role as an Independent UnFranchise® Owner (UFO is a Market America Distributor) for a variety of reasons you may or may not agree with.  While most UFOs have likely never read their Market America 'Career Manual' - I have and you should too.  

For generating supplemental income, an UnFranchise® is not for everyone, but for many - it's a great life changing choice!

A Business that runs itself.  NOT a job that you own! A Business is a PRODUCT to ultimately be sold.  Look, selling 25 copies each of just 4 products every day for an average of $28.00 each - means you'll own a million dollar marketing machine.  A real business, a going concern that you can sell!
