Networking Company

Networking company or what they call MLM (Multi-Level Market) is getting popular nowadays. They claim that they are different from the famous Pyramid scams. They offer a variety of health and beauty products which claims to be very effective and even shows in their seminars some unbelievable product demos. So, what’s with the hype? Earning a lot of money in a short period of time. Interesting? Yeah. The method is actually very simple. You offer products to clients and make those clients join you in the company, and that client will be doing the same with her friends. You earn money in the products that you sell, you earn money from the clients that you recruited in the company (they are now your downline), you earn money from the products that your downlines sell, you earn money from the clients that your downlines recruited in the company, and so on. Gets? It means that even you’re at home, watching wowowee or sleeping, you’re actually earning money! That’s easy, right? But hard to believe.
I’ve been involve in this about 2 weeks ago, when our very friendy ‘kapitbahay’ invites us into a seminar along Ortigas. It lasted for about 3 hours and so, on our way home, we were actually very interested and eager to join. On the bus, a friend texted me, asking me to join a networking company also. I actually guessed the name of their company ( a classmate offered me some products of that company a tear ago), but I’ve got no interest at all since my mind is in the seminar that we just had. When we’ve got home, another friend called, and we went a little chat, I then told him about the company that me and my mom were planning to join. Surprisingly, he just got home too from a networking company, also in Ortigas, where he was a 2-months old member. And of course, he’s asking me to join them din. My mind went crazy that night, that I didn’t slept well. After 2 weeks…
Later this evening, I was surprised when my friend who’s asking me to join 2 weeks ago, went to our house with a bunch of other whom I didn’t know. They talked to my mom, explained the products, do some demos, and let us watched a cd. The cd shows people wit their checks, happily announcing how much money they’ve earn in just a span of 1 week. They earned from 10k to 600k in just 1 week! So amazing, yet so unbelievable. I began asking myself, if this is true why there are a lot of people still going abroad with the same amount of salary but with less hardwork? If this is true, it should be the talk of the town, right? It should be so popular, that it can be reported on tv, showing the changing lives of ordinary people. And if their products are so effective, why is that I’ve never heard of those before? Like the majority, I’m wondering if it’s really true. But then, I’ve thought, I will never know if I’ll never try.
