nice to see that there are a lot of people who are open to mlm. We should all get involved in opening the minds of the Filipinos. Up to this time a lot of people do not understand the meaning of recruiting, in a traditional business the owner also recruits people to work for him, that is what you call leverage or multiplying yourself through others. That is not illegal. If recruiting in mlm was illegal then all of the big companies are also doing the same thing because of recruitment. Even in direct selling companies like avon also involve recruiting, there was never an avon millionaire who sold so much products by themselves, they had to create a team, and how? By recruiting! what we all should have is respect, if you think that mlm is not for you then fine. Nobody should put anyone’s source of income in a bad light. We just want to prosper financially like everybody else.

Early this year, I got interested in multilevel marketing, since my home-based job cannot suffice or even meet our daily spendings, including the bills. So, I began searching the internet for an MLM company. I did not find any company that suit my lifestyle till now, but, instead, I became more aware on what to look for before joining an MLM. As the Direct Selling Association of the Philippines said, an MLM company should have a legitimate product that has a real world value. One should also investigate on the marketing plan of the company. Any commission that a distributor gets should come from the sales of the products and not from recruiting. I got interested in Vmobile since I am a prepaid subscriber myself. But, upon researching on the company, I became more skeptic about how the commission is earned by a Vmobile dealer. There’s nothing wrong with getting rich, but, to achieve wealth by just recruiting people to the network the way a pyramid scheme works is a no-no to me.

many claimers that their company is Number One but before believing them make sure that they are totally legal, and check these also

1.)COMPANY BACKGROUND
-maraming COMPANIES na nalulugi dahil sa ang mga may-ari mismo mga BUSINESSMAN at hindi NETWORKERS! walang alam sa pagpapatakbo o ang pasikosikot sa negosyo! kailangan check nyo rin kung ilan na pinayaman para maging kapanipaniwala ang isang companya na sasalihan

2.)PRODUCTS
-make sure na ang products ay sulit na sulit, at UNIQUE at SUBRANG EFFECTIVE compare sa iba na makikita na lng at maaavail sa MARKET!

3.)MARKETING PLAN
-kailangan icheck nyo rin kung gaano kaeffective ang kitaan at gaano kalaki ang possible na kikitain bago sumalang sa isang companya!

This is a very wise and very good blog.

In this way all people not just the Filipino but in the entire International community will be aware and well have knowledge what really is a Multilevel Marketing or Network Marketing Business. No matter what kind of business industry or business network flat form you belong, either an employer, employee, student, running a small family store, and other more.. -You should and must always work hard for it to achieve your goal. Achieving goals and dreams in life is not as easy as 123.. but instead is to work hard for it.

The only thing that differ when working on a company as an employee is that you have a boss that always check for your work and time, while when you engage in MLM (Multilevel Marketing) or Network Marketing Business you are your own boss (you don’t have any boss) whatever success you achieve in these business is your own success not your boss or the owner of the company. Whatever you earn in this business is yours.

I am a distributor of Alliance in Motion Global, Inc (AIM Global Inc).
When you want to engage in Network Marketing business before you do sign-up for any, please chose wisely by verifying if it is a registered member of DSAP and MLMIA. If it is debt free and a duly tax payer company.

Nice blog! Keep on opening the minds of Filipinos for business.

You’re right about saying one should work hard upon entering the business. Nothing’s an easy money scheme – even your job requires you to work hard. The difference here is that you have no boss nor deadlines, nor an 8hour-a-day labor, nor OTs or OTYs or late. All you have to do is spend as much time as you can in doing the business, know it well and attend trainings.

I’m a Usana distributor. Good products keep the business moving.
So in choosing which MLM you’re gonna join, CHOOSE WELL.

Haayyy!!!! Nakakatamad nang magtrabaho bilang isang empleyado. Kahit anong pagsisikap at pagsisipag ang ginagawa ko ay parang hindi nasusuklian ng tamang kabayaran. Pakiramdam ko tuloy ay nagagamit lang ng iba ang aking pag-iisip, lakas, talento, kakayahan, abilidad at ang buo kong pagkatao. Naiisip ko rin ang mga taong ito: (1) Henry Sy, (2) Lucio Tan at (3) John L. Gokongwei Jr. – sila ay ilan lamang sa mga dayuhan sa bansang Pilipinas na ngayon ay nagmamay-ari na ng mga pinakamalalaking kompanya at nagtataglay ng napakaraming mga pag-aari. Sinu-sino ba sila? At ano ba ang kanilang pinanggalingan? Si (1) Henry Sy ay isang Chinese Filipino na negosyante na nagtatag ng SM Group, chairman ng SM Prime Holdings, at tinaguriang “Retail King”. Noong 1946 ay namamahala lamang siya ng isang hamak na tindahan ng sapatos sa Quiapo, Manila. Si (2) Lucio Tan naman ay isa ring Chinese Filipino na negosyante na nagmamay-ari ng Asia Brewery, Tanduay Holdings, Fortune Tobacco, at Philippine Airlines – ilan lamang ito. Si Tan ay huminto sa kaniyang pag-aaral noon sa Far Eastern University (FEU) at namasukan sa isang pabrika ng tabako. Noong 1966 ay sinimulan niya ang pagnenegosyo ng tabako sa isang maliit na kubo sa Marikina, ito ang Fortune Tobacco. Si (3) John L. Gokongwei Jr. ay katulad rin ng dalawa na nabanggit, isang Chinese Filipino businessman na nagmamay-ari ng telecommunications, financial services, petrochemicals, power generation, aviation at livestock farming. Chairman ng JG Summit Holdings, may-ari ng Cebu Pacific Air, Digital Telecommunications Philippines, Sun Cellular, Universal Robina Corporation, at namamahala ng Robinsons Land. Nagsimula rin bilang isang hamak na negosyante na namimili at nagtitinda lamang ng bigas, RTW at scrap metals noong World War II. Nakakainggit ano po? Tatlo lamang sila sa napakalaking bilang ng mga mauunlad na dayuhan sa Pilipinas. Naalala ko tuloy ang sabi ng aking guro noon na ang mga Pilipino raw ay dayuhan at alipin sa sariling bayan. Ang sakit at ang hirap tanggapin pero ito ang katotohanan. Bakit ba naghihirap ang mga Pilipino? Ito ay dahil sa kanilang mentalidad na kontento na sa pagiging alila, utusan, o sa pinagandang tawag na “EMPLEYADO”. Ang sabi ng iba, “Manager naman ako ng malaking kompanya!” Hindi man lamang niya naisip na utusan pa rin siya ng may-ari ng kompanyang pinagtatrabahuan niya na patuloy na yumayaman dahil sa galing niya. Heto pa! Nagsusumikap na mangibambansa o mag-abroad para mamasukan bilang domestic helper, factory worker, salesman o saleslady, service crew at kung anu-ano pa. Alila pa rin! Nakakatawa ito! Ang mga Arabo pagpunta sa Pilipinas nagiging negosyante, ganoon din ang mga intsik, Taiwanese at iba pang dayuhan. Haayyy! Ang mga Pilipino nga naman.
