Multi level marketing (MLM) or network marketing has long fascinated many Filipinos due to the promise of easy money and "residual income" (if you haven't heard of residual income, this refers to money earned even when you aren't working. The easiest example is the interest you earn from your savings account).

However, those with experience in MLM will tell you that their story isn't like the one they were promised. A lot of them end up in debt, stocking up more products than they could use, and their friends and family are avoiding them.

Ann Sieg's The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing will explain why 97% of MLM networkers fail in their business and offers a solution to these problems.

I'm not a networker but i'm starting my own Direct Selling business after years of developing application systems for MLM companies. MLM is a very powerful marketing approach (in fact in the US it's already a college course!), but it's not meant for everyone! Those who fail in network marketing, and claim that they didn't get what they've been promised, are in fact due to their own performance -- maybe it's just not within their capabilities to do this kind of work.

However, one would-be MLMer needs to be careful in choosing also the company he or she wants to join. In my years of meeting MLM company owners (as IT consultant), I could say most of these companies fail also and shut down due to management problems (greediness, misunderstanding between the directors, etc), then the distributors end up losing their investments not because they didn't do their jobs, but because the company owners part ways and the company closes.

But there's still light at the end of the tunnel, some of my clients now are very successful MLM company, still making good profits, and they have made lots of of millionaire members because the company management is honest, their products are excellent, and the distributors are happy.

In fact, you may not know it, but most traditional and successful companies are doing the MLM concept but masking their approach with beautiful and non-mlm terminologies. I'm sure you have heard of "Member Get Member" program of credit card companies (man that's already referral/network marketing). The difference? They removed all the income opportunity hype presented by regular MLM companies.

So my advise to would be networkers, before you jump in the bandwagon or turn-down immediately an offer presented to you by someone else, look into yourself first if you have the capacity to market the business and the products/services, then look at the company you are to join if they are indeed have the capacity to exist forever, or at least for years. If you think you like the mlm concept and wants to join, then someone says to you it's all a scam or pyramiding, etc.... THOUGH SHALT NOT BELIEVE right away, that person may have just been scammed before or doesn't understand the mlm concept at all.
