MERCILESS LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) Nicholas Tan

MLM does not stand for Merciless Level Marketing and NM does not
stand for Network Mercilessly, or does it? How many times, have
your friends, relatives or people that you know approach you or
your family members and literally force you to join them or else?
(Okay, maybe not or else, but come on so strongly, they behave like
pests and literally put you off) How many times? (For those who
have tried before) have you joined a MLM or NM company that hypes
you so much that you just got to join, only to be left to your own
defenses, you versus the world at the end of the day?
Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the industry or NM
as a marketing structure, personally I think its a wonderful idea,
being paid for recommending a product or a lifestyle, (How many
times have Hollywood producers and directors paid you for
recommending a movie to your friends?
None, how many restaurants
have even given you a free meal for recommending them to your
friends?
Thats right again, none. On the same note, no author or
publishing house has paid you for recommending their books to
anyone either.)
MLM is by no means a horrible industry to be in, but sometimes your
journey with the wrong people or wrong group can be your worse
nightmare. Ive even come across companies, which put you down if
you dont even have a few hundred dollars to maintain. Dont these
people understand, I am joining the industry because I need some
extra money and hopefully a better lifestyle in future. I did not
join this industry to sign an additional few hundred to thousand
dollars to my credit card to be in debt again.
MLM is a get rich quick scheme. For those of you who think that it
is, or have been told that it is, THINK AGAIN. It is very much a
job as any other job; the only difference is that more often than
not, you end up firing yourselves. You end up putting yourself back
in a hamster wheel. You end up going back to making money for
someone else (namely your Boss). If you had your own business, I
bet you would put at least a 100% effort to not see your dreams
flush down the toilet bowl.
I am just looking to re-educate the people about MLM or NM as a
marketing structure.
There is already enough anti-sentiments about MLM, caused basically
by force selling, lies told etc etc. Sad to say, because of the
Singaporean culture of Kiasuism. They say that it is a worldwide
business, but honestly, USD$100 equates to SGD $185 equates to
RM$370 and on and on. A fraction of a low income earners pay
equates to almost half of one from Malaysia. People get into the
MLM industry to make some extra money to stay out of debt, not get
deeper into it.
Do you know how many people in the industry drop out within 3 6
months? 90% thats a scary thought, and you want to know why? Find

you, to learn about the hidden truths and exploited myths of a much
misunderstood industry. MASSIVE SUCCESS!
