Multi Level Marketing Scam

Recently I have a few Encounter with a few Multi Level Marketing Companies through my Relatives and Friends, after attending a few of their Seminar I had come to a Conclusion that it is really a Scam.

They told you that people are split into Four Categories: Employed, Self Employed, Business Owner and Investor. Employed and Self Employed People took up 90% of the Population but only control 10% of the Money while Business Owner and Investor took up 10% of the Population and control 90% of the Money. The Rich are able to control large percentage of the Money is because they started a System and get people to keep the System Running. That is what They call Passive Income, if you work hard enough to build a Business and get Talents to run the Business for you, you can Sit Back and Enjoy your Life without any Worry for Money.

They continue by telling you They are selling a very good Health Care Products which through what they call Direct Marketing had eliminate the need for Raw Material, Manufacturing Plant, Storage Facility, Transportation Network, Distribution Network, Retailer Network and Advertising Media to Start a Business. So this had help them Lower the Cost of their Products and enable People like you to Generate Additional Profits through the Sales and Marketing of their Products. They try to convince you that the Products they sell are Daily Necessities and by Building a Network of Consumers under you it will help the Whole Group benefits from the Passive Income which were Generated.

So, all those above are Beautiful Lies to convince People who are not Happy with their Present Job and Life and Hope that Things will Change for the Better. They give you a False Dream which not many People can Achieve and try to make you Convince those who are around you to Believe in that too. The Truth is that only a very Small Percentage of the People at the Top of the Pyramid can really Achieve that Dream, and in order to Maintain that Dream they have to Convince more people to Believe the Same. That is what we call Pyramid Scheme or Multi Level Marketing, they would rather prefer the Term to be call Direct Marketing or Network Marketing.

First Thing to Ponder is that can you really Enjoy your Life without any Worry for Money? Business will not Run by itself without Proper Management, so you have to Spend most of your Time and Effort to Manage it whether you like it or not. A Business is not Secure if you doesn't own any of the Asserts, you are just a Cheap Labour for their Transportation Network, Distribution Network, Retailer Network and Advertising Media while they own the Raw Material, Manufacturing Plant and Storage Facility for the Products. They have already make most of the Profit by Monopolizing the Market and Selling the Products to you at a Price Higher than the Usual Competitor in the Market and their Products are not as good as they claim if they are unable to put it in the Open Market to compete with Other Similar Products which are selling at a Lower Price.

The Next Thing to Ponder is that will the System still Work if it came to a Point where no more people are willing to join the Network? You have to follow their System in Order for the System to Work, you have to convince more people to Share the same Dream and join the Network for it to Expand. You cannot Achieve unless you Work very Hard to Fulfill that and you will be Classified by them as Unsuitable if you are unable to Prove to them that you can bring in more People to join the Network. So it had become a Vicious Cycle of Never Ending Pursuit of a False Dream which only a Small Percentage of People at the Top of the System can Achieve.

The Last Thing to Ponder is how much Time, Effort and Money you are going to Invest in this Happy Life or Dream Project? You are Working very Hard to Fulfill Their Dream, you are still the 90% of the Population who only Control 10% of the Money. They had Succeed because They had Manage to Convince you to Work for them, but the Rewards they Offer you are way much Lower than what you should Normally get. You have Sacrificed your Quality Time with your Family and instead of Aiming for Work Life Balance they had Manage to Convince you that Working for them is Your Ultimate Dream and they had Given you a Happy Life and a Greater Purpose in the Society.

Happiness is a Journey, not a Destination.
