Is Network or Multi-level Marketing a scam?
Let me start off with the first question, “is network marketing a scam”? Ready – NO!
Why? Well, ask yourself what Network Marketing is exactly. Is it a Multi-Level System? YES! But so is a religious institution like the church, the higher official office goes from deacon to the pope, in a corporation (Coca-cola, Audi, Tesla...) you have facilities personnel up to the CEO, in politics or governments like in the USA, the hierarchy is local, state and government and the military the chain is enlisted private to general. The world society is a Multi-Level-Structure!
Look at the permanent members of the UN Security Council.
Ok back to scamming, are there SCAMMERS in Network Marketing? I can answer with a BiiiG YES! But you have scammers in a lot of well-known companies (BP, Volkswagen, Foxxconn, Wells Fargo, Coca-Cola, etc.) And many banks and big Pharma companies like Pfizer. Yes, the Pfizer that produced the most Covid Vaccines.
Have a look at this link from the United States Justice Department (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-largest-health-care-fraud-settlement-its-history)
Also here is a Bloomberg clip.
The post is from 2009, Pfizer had to pay 2.3 Billion for fraudulent marketing. So much for trusting in a big name. There are many others. Just because you got a beautiful message or some manipulative advertisement (that’s what it is) through some type of marketing or sales channel (emotional selling), doesn’t make the source of the product or idea (politics, religion) any more truthful, reliable than Network Marketing.
Many channels to promote a product.
There are over 100 ways to market a product, such as Direct, Email,
Tele, Affiliate, Multi-level, Guerilla,
TV, Radio, Internet, etc.
Ok, so what is Network Marketing?
It is a philosophy of marketing; it is Marketing a product to the persons or companies Network or contact base – Simple!
Multi-level Marketing is very closely connected to Network Marketing. Your contact in your network sells a product to people in their network, whom you do not know. Your contact receives the first level of commission, and you also receive, as the next higher level also a piece of the action. In this model, scamming is when your mission is just to sign up people and there's no tangible product, just air, and that's a scam - got it?
THE PYRAMID SCAMS ARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR!
Here is a clip about a Pyramid Scam.
Now, before moving on, I do want to tell you that yes, I made bad experiences with 3 Network Marketing companies offering products in wellness and golf sport. I was inexperienced and the so-called mentor, showed only interest in me, as long as I brought in fresh prospects.
The wellness products were ok, no scam, only the golf concept was a big scam. Oh yeah, for about six years, I was also in a sort of multi-level financial consulting company that optimized people’s taxes with real estate investments. I made good money and the clients received quality real estate, in a top location, a safe financing plan, and further support after signing. The only problem with that company was at the end, the Sales GM got greedy and took the commissions from at least 60 reps, my loss was close to 90 K, it hurt a lot.
Why choose Network-Multi-level Marketing?
Why do many large companies choose Network Marketing as a channel? First of all, because of the costs. Compared to TV ads of over 200 k, network marketing costs a fraction and is more effective because it is personal.
Are there negatives with Network/ MLM Marketing? Yes, like with misrepresentation of a product, saying it can do what it can’t, or when the one trying to enlist you puts the compensation over the product, or when words like “get rich fast”, “earn over 15 k in just weeks” etc. Just walk away. Not to say you can not earn a great sum of money, because you can, but it takes time, maybe even 3 years.
Companies like Amway (134 years on the market), Tupperware ($0.89B), and Herbalife (5.8 Billion Net 2021) all use Network / MLM Marketing, they are some of the strongest companies on the market. Herbalife wouldn’t be able to sponsor teams or sports figures like Ronaldo if they didn't offer value and were just a scam. The first important factor when choosing a Network company or starting any business is the Product. What benefits does it offer? Are there negative side effects? Does this have the potential to be on the market for the next 30 years? What type of mentoring is available, can I relate to the group and its philosophy?
When I was in finance I was lucky to get information from Business Gurus, on being a good entrepreneur. One of my favorites is Robert Kiyosaki, you may not agree with all that he offers, but believe me, he knows what he's talking about. Hear what he says about Network Marketing...
Making a logical choice.
Now if you are already in business, unemployed, or employed and looking for a change, and are open to a challenge, stay with me for the next few minutes and I will tell you one of the things our company is doing with network marketing.
With anything in life, you have to use not only your heart but also logic. When starting a business your highest priority should not be, how much profit you can make, but how your product can help people and how far across the globe your product can reach. Also, as I stated above, will there be a need for your product for the next 30 years into the future?
The best-selling products of all time were the iPhone, play station and Lipitor from Pfizer. Which of the 3 served the population the most? Lipitor because it was a product, that made an effect on people's health. iPhone served in 2nd place in that it gave the public the means to carry an all-in-one pocket pc and communicate with the world. If you have a product that can better a person's health, you not only have the right to feel proud but you can feel very comfortable with no regrets when you've made it into a profitable business.
Did you know, according to Verified Market Research, the Global Regenerative Medicine Market size was valued at USD 27.7 Billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 149.80 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 23.54% from 2021 to 2028? Over the last decade, stem cell biology has experienced a breakthrough in scientific and technological
developments that will together have a foremost and continuing influence on regenerative medicine. These entail the capability to produce pluripotent stem cells from adult body cells and to cultivate mini-organs from these or from adult stem cells in well-defined culture conditions. Both methodologies offer ways to develop functional cells of human tissue that could be used for transplantation and tissue repair.
Wellness for the cells
We are not only in the wellness business, we are offering stem cell wellness, with a patented wearable technology. We are bettering people's well-being in health and we are focused on mentoring people toward financial independence.
Our company is not interested in the typical stage shows and cheap motivation associated with Network-Multi-level Marketing. our focus is informing the public and helping people be successful. Do we celebrate success, yes but not on stage!
Here is a clip about our partner and product developer Lifewave, from California.
Lifewave is not only helping humans, but animals as well, they also have stem cells.
The power and benefits of the product have been proven and people are giving their positive feedback. Does this product have a chance to exist in the next 30 years? As long as humans and animals age unhealthily yes. Lifewave is not only focused on stem cells, and is certainly not banking on the world population, remaining in an unhealthy state, just to make a buck with their technology.
They plan to put their patented technology to use for better farming and environmentally friendly uses.
So like I said if you have a product that serves the people, and you want to serve the people, you are open for mentoring, are willing to invest time, not I repeat NOT, looking to get rich overnight and you are honest, then not only is Network-Multi-level Marketing for you, but also Lifewave - a logical wise choice!
