Hey forumers, i am a newbie here been approached by many many MLMers to join their company would just like find out from people here which one is really worthwhile to try out.

Just to list a few that i heard the company from friends and this forum but never been to the company

Malaluka
Amway
Nuskin
Elken
DW
Lamp Berger
WBG
Enyouth
Venture Era
LFI

All more or less similar i guess, but anyone got better introductions but not scam type like swisscash and sunshine empire like headcount and money involved.

Sorry if i am being too stupid to ask questions like that.

Thanks. I read some of your posts, do you mind if you can introduced the person who conned you to meet up because i really want to see what they have up their sleeves. Some say that MLM is a good learning ground and i would like to see if i can learn anything out of it, that can make me at least a little higher chance of being successful like they always quote.

Sorry if i offended anyone in anyway.

If alls being cheated...whos left?

Think...

to be successful in MLM, you have to be ruthless to rip off other people in order to enrich yourself.. and to begin, you will lose all your friends and your family members will hate you as you rip them off in order to fill your quota...

then you start doing what they did to you.. recruit more hapless greedy people who will then fill your coffers for you as they rip other people off for you..

Can you elaborate further so that i can learn more? I don't quite get you because i seen some that made it here locally, they use underhand methods?

Please share more with me.

Very intriguiting on what you just said. Sorry again, but what do you mean by that.

Thanks

read up "Pyramid Scams"

most MLMs work like that....

then go google "multi-level marketing scams" and see a few thousand hits..

again, go do your research about MLMs.. they were devised to help people to sell to those who do not have access to products.. sort of like rural areas in big countries...

you see a need for that in Singapore?

I see your point. But then how come some of them still make it? Sorry for being ignorance, so what you saying is i should not even waste time on it? Well, i thought that that could be a jump for me in my life as my friends claims that those made it are young although i have yet to see it for myself.
This forum is quite a read for a noob like me, thanks for your piece of advise.
Any other contributors can make me see the light? Thanks in advance.

I am really, i don't deny.
Apart form reading up which i am lazy, anyone else can enlighten me how to see through such scams or what ever those people achieved are fake?

I dont know if there are hard and fast rule to this

Some companies sell cheap stuff at exorbitant price, and made it compulsory that new members buy

They dont break the law because they 'sell' products

but uplines earn when new members join, which sound like pyramid schemes

so how to distinguish or put your finger to it?

Hmm, very interesting. I have a friend who says that MLM is just a business with a different concept, i wonder how true and how acceptable it is here in Singapore, apparently i suppose the feedbacks are negative.
Laurence, you said some companies, to your knowledge who are those people selling cheapo stuffs at exorbitant price so that i can avoid those.
In your statement that i quoted i also realise that there might be some good ones also, you surely seem like a old timer in this industry from the post i read from you. Care to share those "good" (maybe) companies?
What to look out for just in case i become prey to them.

In MLM, the desperation can drive one to do all sorts of desperate things, like mass msging people on friendster, myspace, etc. Or to give them false hopes to ‘retire early’, etc. It’s like saying…. I buy toto, i strike $1000 first time. I see people striking 10K, or better yet $15M, and I become a professional Toto buyer? The notion is that the probability of success is low, given the current image and reputation of MLM. Money? At the cost of ethics, friends (trust me, you’re going to make tons of people hate u), and ‘face’?

Hm. Good point and thanks i learned something. But the rate of 4D or TOTO is beyond control logically. As for what i heard in MLM is the probability of success depends on you, and being pioneer is important. But how many are pioneer company? Some will still claim they are pioneer after 5 yrs. So thats where i am puzzled. I heard that World Direct Congress Group or what crap is coming to Singapore to elevate the mentality of people here about MLM. Will there be an impact because if it does i would want to be on the train, i heard its going to be as big as IMF in 2006.
Any comments? Don't mind me asking rubbish as i really want to learn something from the old timers here.

So you guys really hate MLM and don't believe it works at all not even for 1 company that does MLM? Can someone please enlighten me?
