Internet Marketers Thread (Hala diri ta mga networkers)

Nya bro a must jud na mag invest kag certain amount? naa man ko kaila networking cya tapos naay membership fee sa ila company
Sa ako ok rman mo invest bsta naay assurance ma bawi ang amount..

Ang network marketing bro is a business model wherein members are given a fair chance to earn well...also in doing a traditional business you need to invest huge amount in order to start a company or service in NM you are only required to invest a reasonable amount in order for you to do the business without the expense of inventory, warehousing, accounting, sales and marketing support, automated system maintenance and etc. That's the beauty of it murag nagbayad lng ka 5 pesos sa jeep then nikuyog ka to serve as konduktor then at the end hatagan ka share sa driver depending sa inyo kita. There are several set up in different NM companies how they want there members to be compensated...others have monthly fees to maximize earnings and this will serve also as residual income once you have establish your matrix you will receive your earnings monthly doing nothing.

In doing business bro it always involves risk - the assurance will only depend on your contribution. In doing NM you also need to take part of the process.

In reference to guidelines pls. refer to my post dated 11-07-2012, 02:26 AM

That's the notion of people who doesn't know the industry actually but I agree there are some junk companies out there who suck the life out of their members thru recruitments.

You can actually spot a bad NM companies:

1. No/Poor Management Support
2. Focus on Recruitment not on Products.
3. Not so unique products.
4. Delayed Commission Payouts.
5. No/Poor Training Modules.

These are only few indicators...

Like I said in my earlier post NM/MLM was a legit business model but watch out as well for the bad ones who just claims to be legal.


Just a general tip to all:

-Find — and study — the company’s track record
-Learn about the product
-Ask questions
-Understand any restrictions
-Talk to other distributors (beware of shills)
-Consider using a friend or adviser as a neutral sounding board or for a gut check
-Take your time
-Think about whether this plan suits your talents and goals

Good luck!

Also my view on the said industry...

Mag comment sad ko ani ha...opinion ra bitaw ni.

First and Foremost Network Marketing is a legit business model (source: Better Business Bureau) and a successful industry. As a matter of fact we all do networking in our daily lives wa lng ta ka realize ani. The reputation of the industry was stained due to some unscrupuous companies and greedy individuals who took advantage of the said opportunity. I agree that many were victimized and suffered greatly but many lives were changed as well because they attained financial security.

NM or MLM is not that bad after all it's like you are choosing a company to work for - there's good and bad companies out there right and that's the truth. We can't generalize all things...like I will say that all men are born polygamous of course there will be gentlemen here that will contradict to that statement - it's the same logic.

For those who are already into NM be humble with your words and responsible in every aspect, after all the essence of NM is to help others - help the industry. Also for those who plan to join any NM companies do your part first investigate the management capacity, the product if it's unique - it should be! if not better not join that company will not last for 5 years and the compensation plan should reward the members by moving the product not focus on referrals only. For those who are negative and ever skeptical I can't blame all of you because we all have different experiences, upbringings and mentality - Most of our parents instill to us the employee mindsetting and we can't either blame them since there's no opportunity yet like NM during that time.

All their lives they run the "Marathon of Life" which they worked for 40 years and they pass along that mentality to their offsprings. It's still happening nowadays worked for 40 years and some die broke.

Before I put a closure to this long post of mine I want to end this with a question.

What is your life status 5 years ago? - If it's still the same then you need to re-evaluate yourself because there must be something wrong on how you drive your wheel of life.

Happy Halloween to all!

Sorry for the delayed post but anyway as promised I will lay out some pointers how to easily determine a scam from a legit companies.

Guidelines of a good NM company:

1. PEOPLE / MANAGEMENT: first and foremost you need to know the person behind the company because their track records will speak for itself. These people will be your gauge if the company will last more than five years or not. They must be active within the company and always keep in touch with the members or better if they can visit your area / place. Since we don't have an institution who regulate the Network Marketing industry, DSAP (DSAP | Direct Selling Association of the Philippines - DSAP | Direct Selling of the Philippines) is the one monitoring the activities of such companies but to me Direct Selling is totally different from Network Marketing so it wil lbe ok if the company is not a member of DSAP so long it has Code of Ethics and do pays out.


2. PRODUCT: again the product should be "UNIQUE" because this will be the driving factor to increase your sales and membership. It should also be a business trend or trending for example during GOLD RUSH who became rich that time? gold diggers or those fellow who sell the tools? Another key factor on these one would be the baby boomers (A baby boomer is a person who was born during the demographic post-World War II baby boom between the years 1946 and 1964) they are the industry movers. They dictate what would be the next trend but right now since most baby movers are in their 50's - 60's if you noticed the latest fad are health products from supplements to yoga and etc, It's all on health industry. With the help of internet we can now tap larger market share GLOBAL business potential but some NM companies are still doing the traditional way of Sales and Marketing.

3. PAYPLAN: now this aspect is quite tricky for some because different companies are using different compensation packages which could be label as Unilevel, Binary, Powerline, Force Matrices, Spillover and etc. You will basically know how many ways you can earn and how you can maximize your profit as well. There must be no "FLUSH OUT" meaning that company will not limit their monthly or yearly pay out or the company cannot take away your earning for the certain period. Payplan should be balance between the members and the company there must be a safety net for longevity and survival.

4. SUPPORT: The conviction and sincerity of the company can be seen here. After joining what kind of support does a new member will get? - that's must be the common question. Trainings, Marketing Materials, Perks, Money back guarantee and etc will fall under this category and not only that team participation is also beneficial for new members. The company must be all out supportive from management down to NM leaders.

5. YOU The most important aspect will be yourself. You must do your due diligence before indulgence. The decision is now yours to take and your action will determine the end result.

Cheers!
