What's wrong with a networking business?

I don't get the point, really.

What's wrong with a networking business?

In america, a leverage business (another word for networking) is considered an income-earning way that has produced millionaires million times over. Here in the Philippines it has helped a lot of people to earn more.

Just because a certain networking company hogged the headline for being a hoax not so long ago that we have to dismiss the whole business as hoax too? i say bollocks! This is really the problem of people we judge without knowing first the business.

We are known to clamor about the low-paying job that we have, and here comes the oppurtunity... we just ignores it. What's wrong with us?

the wrong thing is we are narrow-minded. we used to believe that the way to earning a greater income is through studying hard, get a job, and earn. Come on!

I am not saying this because I am in a networking company. but truth is, I dont give a flying hoot when somebody does not like the business. But just, you know, inviting someone and that someone hits you with this words "networking na sab!" gives you diffrent colors on the walls actually. hehe. As if I am forcing him/her to join me. I am just introducing him/her the business, for pete's sake!

So my intent actually is to ask people, what's wrong with a networking business? Can u enlighten my little mind?

Actually, there is nothing wrong with "networking". In business, networking is commonly called as "multi-level marketing" (MLM). MLM is part of marketing mix where the products or services channeled through distributors. This distributor can be a person, a group of person, an organization or another form of business organization. This MLM here in the Phlippines is not widely recognize but this is commonly known as "networking". Then what's wrong with this business? As what I said earlier, there's nothing wrong with this type of business. Nowadays, some companies or business organizations shift into this kind of channel of distribution for easily introducing of new products.S ome companies used MLM as diversification of their organization and products as well. This is a sad fact, that this kind of business will never long last because of some economic and organizational reasons.

MLM basically a system for creating wealth through your people and other people's effort

please don't confuse the people here that leverage companies are the same with networking......

A good example of a leverage company is KKR. Look it up with google.. With leverage companies wealth that is gained is shared equally. Leverage companies have share holders too.

Networking is like a pyramid... People on top gets more money than people below... So what is its difference with wage earners

?

if you equate networking with leverage companies make sure everyone who enters the network is a shareholder with a stock certificate.... That way profits are shared not just by the ones on top of the pyramid...

People on top gets more money than people below. Perhaps, but is not always the case. It still depends on what networking company you are in. And it still depends on the effort of the individual. Know what, I try to picture that businesses are always like that. The one who is first has the advantage. but that does not mean you have the victory. Simple tenet why there is few Lucio Tan's and Gokongwei's. I think it's preposterous when you try to compare it with wage earners and you know why. Wage earners have theoritically fixed incomes while in the business you can maximize them thru effort, lots of guts and luck. So, there really is a BIG difference.

In the end, networking is just basically like a traditional business, the one who is ahead has all the advantage. But the positive side is that you don't really need a big amount of money to invest in such business. So there.

networking is just basically like a traditional business, the one who is ahead has all the advantage.------> Ahead is distorting the people's mind.... Then put up another company again.... This looks like a fly by night operation.....

In networking you work hard for the people on top of you same with wage earners.... Don't try and mislead people... Unless there is profit sharing and shares of stock are distributed... Networking is a Pyramid

Excuse me? How would you define a pyramid then? So i wouldÂ* have a better understanding of what you are trying to imply...

In networking you work hard for the people on top of you same with wage earners... I already have answered this... I think it's preposterous when you try to compare it with wage earners and you know why. Wage earners have theoritically fixed incomes while in the business you can maximize them thru effort, lots of guts and luck. So, there really is a BIG difference

And as what I have understood with your post you are trying to suggest another business with this tenet on mind (I am quoting you) Unless there is profit sharing and shares of stock are distributed

Thank you for that. Unless you are suggesting that all business schemes and ways are to be like that, I do not know what are you espousing about or railing against.

So, for the benefit of anyone, stick to the topic and give me to it straight: What's wrong with a networking business?

Guess that question's just too abstract for the majority, why not be a bit specific - like have members here cite some networking businesses in cebu and give testimonials? i.e. what's wrong with forever living? what's wrong with legacy?

Talk about being narrow minded, we are trained at the earliest age to be slaves. Being students, we have to go to school everyday. As workers, we have to go to work everyday. It's the same pattern that we're being brainwashed as the norm - the only way of living life - the RAT RACE. Only the more intelligent people has gotten away with this though - and they are the BUSINESSMEN. They make money without ever going to work everyday. They have real states and other people generating the money for them. This is the very concept of networking also - being able to generate money while sleeping - in the long run.

Now is someone out there kind enough to let us out of the rat race?
