Frequently Asked Questions About WakeUpNow

Why did WakeUpNow fail?
WakeUpNow collapsed in 2015 because its business model depended on continuous recruitment rather than genuine product sales. When recruitment slowed, the company couldn't sustain operations and shut down suddenly, leaving distributors with losses.
Why did WakeUpNow target college students?
WakeUpNow aggressively recruited college students because they had large social networks, were eager for income opportunities, and were often less experienced at recognizing predatory business models. This targeting drew significant criticism.
