MLM in the Philippines
MLM stands for Multi-Level Marketing. In the Philippines, this is also called Networking or Network Marketing. This is a business model that allows you to earn commissions from people who join your business network. There are various styles of it. One popular type of MLM is the Binary System. In a Binary MLM system, a person can get commissions on each pair of people that has joined his/her network. There is a left and right group. Each left-right combination is one pair. One pair gets you commissions.
Say whay you want to say about MLM but it is really a PROVEN business model. Someone once told me that MLM is being studied in the various Manila
Business Schools. I once met a lady who actually made a thesis about
it. They analyzed how it actually provides REAL opportunities for ordinary people to become wealthy. We really can’t deny the fact that people HAVE BECOME RICH through MLM. Their testimonials, cheques, and toys (like new cars) provide enough evidence of the effectiveness of MLM.
People, however, are still afraid that this is like a Pyramiding Scheme, where people at the very top of the Pyramid earn the most money. Those into it will vehemently deny it. They explain that some MLMs are designed in such a way that people below the network can earn more than those at the top. Give them your ear and they would provide more info on the intricacies of MLM.
I do believe, however, that there is still some hint of truth that those at the top of the MLM registrations generally get wealthier.
There are some really annoying things about MLM. One of the basic teachings when you become a member is to invite people, but don’t tell them details of the invitation. This has gone to a point where some MLM members LIE outright to other people, just to get them to come to an orientation/presentation. A friend tells me how some of his buddies were told to go to a wedding, only to discover it was a MLM orientation instead.
If you are aware of such methods, you already know when people invite you to an MLM orientation. When somebody tells you, "Hey, I’ve got a business opportunity you might be interested in…" but don’t tell you any details, that’s definitely a MLM invite. Be prepared to say NO if you really don’t want to go.
The ‘deceptive’ way some members approach their potential clients has given Multi Level Marketing a very bad rap. Why couldn’t they just tell you honestly, "Hey this is MLM but still, hear me out.." I still think honesty works. The old ‘secretive’ style doesn’t really work for Pinoys anymore.
Talking about this, there is a another NEW MLM in town. They are currently based in Ortigas, Pasig City. They just launched this March.. As of last tuesday, April 25, I was informed that there were less than 500 members registered.
Talk about opportunities! For the MLM enthusiasts out there. You might want to get into this boat. Watch out for it.
I was researching network marketing in Philippines and I stumbled on this site.
Interesting views on network marketing.
My personal story is… I was involved in network marketing 6 months ago and never looked back! I quit my job as a registered nurse here in Canada and doing this business part time/ full time now— time freedom, remember! This is what this business is all about.
I now have over 200 distributors in my team in just 6 months!!!! Why???? 2 words— right COMPANY and right PRODUCT.
In short… This business works if you WORK! and it will reward you beyond your wildest dream!!!
Good luck everyone! I’ll probably meet some of you when we officially launch in Philippines in September. Mabuhay!
all about.
Please tell me what MLM business this is.
I am very interested!

Hi Jozzua,
First of all, I’m amazed by your SEO skills buddy. Topping google with your keyword is impressive. I’m also learning online strategies like SEO to grow my business online, MLM and Internet Marketing.
Anyhow, I agree with your views about MLM in the Philippines. MLM itself, is indeed a legitimate business or marketing scheme and history proves this. Though, anyone should be pre-cautious in joining an MLM opportunity for there are some who aren’t doing it the right way, which affects the MLM Industry.
I’ve been in MLM for a year now and currently growing my business online using attraction marketing principles.
Nice content bro! Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

@Michelle & Gerard: I’m glad to see you guys taking journey in our Industry. I’d love to connect and share ideas with you both.
let’s be honest.mlm is not a bad thing ,what makes it worst though is the people engaged on it. certainly, in mlm there’s no certain quote as ”easy money” instead you gain by having enthusiasm and persitence. i am 16 yrs old and i am generating income as for now! it’s not that big but it’s sustainable. i guess, you have to engage in a company where genuinity is present and honesty is their policy. business must be a mixture of good character and ethical values.
Hello Mr. Jozzua!
This is very true.
People just seem to be skeptic even though they havent seen such opportunities.
I suggest they must study over it and reflect for a while.

Even dont know how to make a resume :p

I reside here in San Francisco California and got involved with Direct Selling for 3.5 years now after retiring from a 20-year Real Estate Brokerage 8 years ago. I did enjoy my retirement for the 1st 5 years and got bored. I stumbled upon one direct selling GREEN company and since then started to explore the Direct Selling and MLM. I got excited and started to be fruitful and productive without any stress. I would like to get in touch with Professional MLM’ers in the Philippines because I want to expand my market in the MLM arena. Since retirement and enjoying the 2nd half of my life, I always want to give back most especially in our own country. I reside here in the US for 30 years, raised 7 children and now having so much fun with being a Grandma and spending most of my productive hours in the internet.
Hope I can meet professional MLM’ers and partner with them in my first MLM stint.

Hello! Can you cite the name of the lady or the title of the thesis she made? We are also doing a thesis about MLM. Thank you :)
Great post! I stumble upon this article when I search the term “mlm” and wow you showed up to number 5 in google search result. You did the SEO a good job.
I really love this network marketing industry. I’ve quit my job just February of this year because I see and get good results in MLM.
According to Guy Kawasaki, Network marketing or MLM is not a job it is an asset.
So I enroll myself to study more about MLM for only $10 in in two weeks and made my life change.
Then I started buying these assets to build my MLM business on autopilot. And I’m happily reaping the results ;-)
Hey guy’s out there!
If you wer’s Looping for a unique Opportunity at your country, i can offer a abdolutely new model of mlm to you! Be One of the First?

I’ve been with MLM since mid/late 1990′s until mid 2000′s.
From the days of “high dessert bee polen supplements” to “forever living products”, “DXN 3and1 coffee” and tons of others who were once popular during those times and so I have a long history with regards to MLM.
And based on my personal experience, I can say its very difficult to make a decent income in this field because the market gets easily saturated.
especially if you are not a “sweet talker”… you will have problems recruiting people to join under you.
Because the key to MLM is people.
The more active downlines you have, the better for you.
But what if you don’t have one??? and even if you do have a downline BUT they are useless.
They dont put into action what is needed to succeed in MLM so YOU as their upline suffers.
bottomline is – you will make money if people work for you.
Your earning depends on the people and that’s not cool!
MLM concept is good from the advertisers point of view but as a means to earn money, its not that great!
Fortunately, things changed now that we have the internet!
There are far better alternatives to MLM today and I am happily earning a stable income WITHOUT even recruiting people.
cheers!
