      MLM are more or less the same.


      Look carefully at how you are introduced into this biz and you should get an idea. Do they talk about biz opportunities/lobangs/interesting talk/seminars etc… or directly tell you that they are bringing you to MLM talk? The key point is, did they mislead you in one way or another? Only when you are there then you realise it is MLM that kind of thing.

      For a biz model that rely heavily on painting a misleading picture… what good can come out of it?

      You go to the talk, they show you the millionaires who "made it" etc… and tell you all their success stories. But… did they even mention a word about the 99.9999999999% of members who never made it?

      Ask yourself, do you have what it takes to be the 0.0000000000001%? If you are confident, go for it… if not… then re-consider…

        From a business perspective, I think network marketing can work due to the low capital investment, low / zero fixed costs, the efficiency of distribution of products to consumer and getting products at a reasonable & affordable prices. Some MLMs do have excellent products to be fair.

        Warren Buffet, Donald Trump & Robert T. Kiyosaki also owns a MLM company as they see the potential of the business.

        However, to be successful in the business, selling products itself cannot work on long term basis. It will drain the business owners out.

        Without a business process, education and a strong team members supporting and helping the business owners, the business will failure for sure. The question is how many MLM companies out there are committed to help the business owners and provide such education platform to help them to be successful?

        It is like joining a company of any industry. If the company that does not spent time to train the employee, no systems and documented processes in place, the employee will feel lost and not motivated. The employee will probably work for the sake of working and always looking out for opportunities to move to another company hoping that the new company will provide the training opportunities and values the employees’s effort and give recognition. But at the end of the day, we are still working for the company for good pay but less time for family.

        I am still an employee for 15 years and looking for opportunities to end my employee life and move on to doing my own business because job security is no longer there and I wish for more time to be with my family. I have worked with established MNC which eventually fall into filing chapter 11. I have tried money investment, but the economic crisis stress is too hard to withstand.

        I believe there are good MLMs out there and it is just a matter of time that the right one comes along. I have tried 3 MLMs and they did not really worked out. But my mind is still open to the possibilities to finding a true MLM to help me to fulfill my dream to end my employee career life.

        Just my little sharing.

            My wife likes Tupperware. The containers are indestructible one. I believe they have some sort of an mlm marketing channel to push their products out into the market. I do believe that they advertise on the main traditional media as well.


            I think a lot of vitamins and supplements companies have some sort of mlm marketing channel because there is a recurrence of the consumption of the core product.

                  Yes much more expensive because they must have a margin to pay those who promote their products through their "direct marketing" channel

                    Anyone heard of this company called Aikyousha Pte Ltd? It’s set up a shop front at Havelock Rd and has been giving out free dish-washing liquid, detergent and crockery to attract old folks. My friend and I went to check it out and we saw that the shop was open for biz and salesmen were outside, but door was kept closed and there were many chairs inside. The signboard is also a non-permanent banner… The sign on the door said, "For Members". They have been telling the customers that they are a Japanese company and are giving away freebies as they don’t want to spend money on ads. To get the freebies, the customers have to listen to their talks. Sounds fishy. Are MLM companies allowed to open shops in HDB estates?

                        Why only old folks?

                        It does sound fishy to me.
