Without trying to sound like I understand MLM, I think the range of products sold are in direct conflict with the more commonly available supermarket stuffs. For example some will tell you that their shampoo/toothpaste/soap do not contain certain chemicals commonly found in regular products that are suppose to be harmful to the human body, cause cancer, or other terminal diseases. Others will sell health products and claim that the more commonly available products are bad for you. Don't want to go to details here. Too much to write and after than kena flamed by supporters of MLM.

All in all, claims remain just claims. As much as some of these claims carry testimonies from various "medical authorities", they do not sit well with the government recognised authorities. You may wish to do a search here in SGforums for MLM or Multi-Level Marketing and see the amount of emotions put in by people who support MLM.

On common argument put up on such products are that there is a conspiracy theory by government health authorities and drug companies, and together, they place harmful products in the market.

Then there is the ridiculous claim that you can make quick money. Don't fall for this.

Glad you are planning a second child. You do not need lots of money to have children if you are frugal enough. Most importantly, do not compare yourself against those who have.

PM me if you want to chat about family. Take care.

Hi guys, I am new here just wanna say HI! and also share my experience with the people of MLM. Around February this year, I received a call from this girl who conducted a survery a week ago asking me to meet. Never did it occur to me that she was doing MLM. That time I also blur and stupid, went to agree to meet her in the evening at Eunos.

That evening after dinner, she said got friend wanna join us here, then I was like okie lor, the more the merrier. I asked her when would she come, she mentioned in 5 minutes time from her office. Then when her friend came down, everything was alright at first, then suddenly her friend asked me whether wanna go up to her office hang out.

I just tot WTF do we do in the office (at that time supposingly all kinds of tots filled my brain). I just agreed since I was there already, but when I got up, I felt like the biggest sucker... they just started to intro to me about their magnetic bed, stating that it really helps people who have breathing problems, back pains and all sorts of diseases.

They even asked this [email protected] up guy to talk me into signing up with them. They mention I have two option to join, one is to buy a bed from them and pay $1400 to be a corporate member or just sign up for free to be a normal member.

I just said I am not interested, even if I am I wont choose the first option. you know what, That fcuking guy insisted I buy the bed as a corporate member, I say I no money lah, the next thing that turned me off straight away was that he asked me to borrow money from all my friends first to buy the bed, and then when I am a member liao I can pay them back with the money I earned.
I just asked him what if I dont earn any money, he said will one dont worry.

Needless to say, I just told him I am not interested and before going off I just told them that they are very much contradicting themselves: one moment the stressed the importance of health to a person, can live long and all that crap, the next, they light a cigarette in front of you!!!

The original concept of MLM is actually a good thing.
The business model is that it takes away advertising cost(which incidentally makes up a huge part of the cost of product you buy, be it the shampoo you buy from the supermarket, or the watch from some jewellers), and depends on word of mouth by satisfied customers, which is by far a more convincing way of selling. The aim is to take the money intended for the super-rich advertising firms, media tycoons and spread it amongst the consumers. However, perhaps due to the high infrastrutural cost of doing business in SG, the most successful product from MLM tends to be higher end/cost froducts, where there can be enough profit margin to spread to its members. Its simple mathematics, a product which costs $10 each can perhaps earn the seller maybe $3, its simply impossible to entice ppl to wanto sell for the company.
Similarly as more and more MLM company sprung up, there are a dearth of products available to sell, and ppl start competing another for the same dwindling group of customers. Gradually the only way to differentiate their product is by the business or 'taxation' models, and soon the business model is actually the product they are selling, some MLMs even dun even bother to try and sell the product itself, just its business model. The method of selling has also been altered, to one bordering on deceit, given the notoriety of the original MLM companies, which has often been likened to pyramid selling(Which is different and illegal).
To summarise, MLM can be likened to Marxism or Communism, with is a wonderful model but due to the practical application had fallen short of the ideals.
