BEWARE OF PYRAMID SCHEMES posing as a legitimate MLM

[ate_debz]

i never said that we have a complete line.
but you must agree that we have products that you use most of the time.

what you see now is nowhere compared to what iGEN had before.
grabeh ka gamay ra sa produkto. i have seen the improvement.

i am hoping to see more products there and hopefully a bigger store in a few months.
ana lang gud. basta, wala gihapoy makapagan sa ako gibati!
aw kung ma sirado man gani, sige lang naka bawi na bitaw ko.
plus naa pa ko discount card. sige ra ko upsize ani MCdo, sud ko ratsky and bigbys naa man discount.

and by the way unsa may naka misleading nga musulti meh nga partner me sa San miguel? dili di ay true?
gibaligya man sad jud sa store ang products nila.
most of the iGEN members are from san miguel pa man gani.
keever!

There are some "MLM" companies who do have "products", but only as a front.
The ultimate question is: Where do you earn the most money? Is it in recruitment? or really in the movement of real products?

opinion lang po. Cheers

i strongly agree. although we earn big time through duplication or bringing in downlines, we have to remember that networking/MLM is still a business. so product movement is still the and must be the top priority..

funny. nibali dayon. sa discount lng, makuha na, kasayon sad.

btw, partner ang coca cola and nokia. unsa man na products exactly? kay pag tan.aw nko sa brochure murag wala man.

ow ow and also...gamay ra kaayo ang points na makuha sa products...a 500 shoe is only 3 points! so of course, mang recruit na lng ka. and they still push it na dili pyramiding. cge gud.

[ate_debz]

tinuod bitaw sa discount lang nadala nadayon ko...
in all honesty mao na ang reason nga nagpa member ko
ikaduha na nang networking part

so what? basta naa koy discount
kamo kay basin dili ninyo kinahanglan...
kamo kay dato man mo!

3 points ra bitaw ang 500 nga shoe
ang SM pila imo points madawat kada palit nimo?
ang National?
ambot wala ko kibaw hehehe...
alangan dako ang ihatag nga points
500 points pud diay? for every 500?
dili nalang ta mag negosyo ani?
manghatag nalang ta..


ka jogits gud sa igen kung mangangkon sila kung dili tinuod
dili kaha sila ikiha sa nokia ug sanmiguel?
paka uwaw lang...

bahala namo unsa inyo tan-aw sa iGEN oi
basta ako nituo ko, as in super tuo jud ko
asa man ko mutuo? adto jud ko tuo sa nadato na!

ug kung manginvite ko, wala man ko nangilad, pure man ako intention (charing!)
ako ra gi share unsa ako gituhuan
diba?

walay pugsanay!
wala say magbuot!
aron way gubot!




(dah! nanlabsik gyud ang laway sa kayawyaw)

[LORD_VAMPIRE]

i'm not as talented as you are in this biz. pero kanang blowout ha "when" ur rich na, ok..

[misfit]

u sound like u don't know how to defend igen.

now mas motuo ko na it's not worth it, kay ang member man gani murag wa kahibaw what the real perks are. sa discount lng daw. not reason enough dba.

pero anyway, i was expecting a litany of "igen offers this and that", pero wala. na defensive nuon.

I thought this would be a great article to post and to help existing networkers and potential netwotrkers to understand the difference between a pyramid scheme
and a true network marketing opportunity.

Is MLM Just a Scam?

There's a huge difference between network marketing and pyramid schemes. Learn the truth here.

Q: Some friends continue to try to recruit me into network marketing deals that seem like some type of money game or pyramid. Other friends tell me they're illegal and I'll get into trouble. How do I know what's legal and legitimate?

A: To help you understand what network marketing is, I must first explain what it isn't. First, network marketing isn't a pyramid scheme. Pyramids are programs similar to chain letters where people just invest money based on the promise that other people will put in money that will filtrate back to them and somehow, they'll get rich. A pyramid is strictly a money game and has no basis in real commerce. Normally, there's no product involved at all, just money changing hands. Modern-day pyramids may have a product, but it's clearly there just to disguise the money game.

Network marketing is a legitimate business. First, it's based on providing people with real, legitimate products they need and want at a fair price. While some people do make a lot of money through network marketing, their financial benefit is always the result of their own dedicated efforts in building an organization that sells real products and services.

Pyramids are illegal and are based on taking advantage of people. For a person to actually make money in a pyramid scheme, someone else has to lose money. But in network marketing, each person can multiply his or her efforts, skills and talents by helping others be successful. Network marketing has proved itself as part of the new economy and a preferred way to do business here and around the world.

Network marketing isn't about taking advantage of your friends and relatives. Only a few years ago, network marketing meant retailing to, and sponsoring people from, your "warm list" of prospects. Although sharing the products or services and the opportunity with people you know is still the basic foundation of the business, today we see more people using sophisticated marketing techniques such as the Internet, conference calling and other long-distance sponsoring techniques to extend their network across the country.

Network marketing isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. Of course some people do make large amounts of money very quickly. Many would say those people are lucky. But success in networking isn't based on luck. (Unfortunately, money won't sprout wings and fly into your bank account no matter what someone has promised you.) Success in network marketing is based on following some very basic yet dynamic principles.

Now let's discuss what network marketing is. Network marketing is a serious business for serious people. It's a proven system where the design, creation and expense the corporate team has gone through becomes a road map for your own success. Just follow the simple, proven and duplicable system that the good companies provide.

The real key is this: Network marketing is all about leverage. You can leverage your time and increase the number of hours of work effort on which you can be paid by sponsoring other people and earning a small income on their efforts. J. Paul Getty, who created one of the world's greatest fortunes, said "I would rather make 1 percent on the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent on my own efforts." This very basic concept is the cornerstone of network marketing.

For example, most successful people building a network marketing business do so in an organized method. They work a few dedicated hours each week, with each hour of effort serving as a building block for their long-term business growth. Then they sponsor other people and teach those people how to sell the company product and sponsor others who duplicate the process.

By helping the people you personally sponsor to sponsor others, you duplicate yourself. As this process continues, you create compound growth that can lead to hundreds or even thousands of people coming into your business. You leverage your time by helping others be successful and earn an income from all their efforts.

With network marketing, there are no big capital requirements, no geographical limitations, no minimum quotas required and no special education or skills needed. Network marketing is a low-overhead, homebased business that can actually offer many of the tax advantages associated with owning your own business. Network marketing is a people-to-people business that can significantly expand your circle of friends. It's a business that enables you to travel and have fun as well as enjoy the lifestyle that extra income can provide.
