Pyramiding or Networking, a scam or fraud?

Pyramiding and networking, huh. I don't know anything much about that, since I don't have any experience related to it. At first, it got me a little tempted, strangely fortunate, I did not have enough capital to start any investment. From my friends, I learned a few things about pyramiding and networking. They said it's a difficult way to earn money, you have to focus on it 24/7. The more active you are, the more money. If you are the lazy type, you wouldn't earn much... unless if you are extremely lucky and have lots of rich friends whom you sell your products to. Pyramiding and networking only works well for someone who knows many people. It also helps if you have the charisma and know-hows of the job. My boyfriend told me that to be on the top and to earn the big amount of money, you have to step and fool many people to achieve it. However... I can say this type of business is double-edged. One can earn from this system through taking advantage of others(now that is a scam!) and one can also earn from this by helping one another by taking advantage of the system(not the people) Those who are scammed are those who are ignorant or have limited knowledge about the system. They can only blame themselves for being fooled. they should have investigated further, not put their trust easily on some stranger. Besides, business has always been about gambles, so they should learn to deal with the worst outcomes possible. What they can do is learn from these experiences, apply their knowledge on their next attempt at money making, they can't let it stop them from trying any business in the future. Quitting might save us from scams, but it won't bring us success either. I would like to share a very important lesson to everyone. This was from a review instructor who taught us a few things about life. Shi-t(evil things you do) might get you to the top fast, but it won't keep you there for long. So be good people, everyone Don't deceive others for the sake of your own success.

I feel the same way in taking risks. When a networking would ask for money, i know that it would someday turn into scam. Besides, i would always ask first what will be the things to sell. If i see that the products are hard to sell, i back off.

Almost have to consider such programs a scam, unless you can work first hand with someone who can show you why it is a success, but you must know all details.

Well... I have come across many companies like this through friends and relatives of mine and joined some like AMWAY. But some companies are who has nice products range of FMCG. If a person is there just to earn then they should have good social contact and those person whom he introduce should use products of the company otherwise it's just a wastage. Recently I joined a company which deals in aloe vera and joining was free of cost and there is earning oppurtunity too if I build a pyramid under me but there would be no use of that if they don't use the product. I joined because I really liked that product and I have to use that for some time being. There are many fraud too which return money to introducer as they don't go for long time and people has been cheated by such company various time. so if any body wants to join then should think thrice before taking a decision and should ask some question to them self like why they want to join ? Thanks

8-in-1 coffee and Prime Juice are some of the products of UNO Unlimited Network of Opportunities International Corporation. Recruiting but not speaking the name of the company is the strategy of some network marketers. Not all network marketers are like that. Investing some money is really part of business. No capital means no profit. It's safe it your friend or relative recruited you. It is very dangerous if you don't know the recruiter at all. Being a car sales is great way to earn money because cars are expensive. you can get commissions from car sales. I do network marketing part-time but I have other activities that can keep me occupied. I do understand that those on top earn huge money but it's fine with me as long as I also earn and they help me do it the right and friendly way. Correct me I'm wrong. Network marketing companies have a culture that some people do not exactly understand. Some CEO in non-MLM companies are greedy to their employees. And the salary of the employees is taxed too which means there will deductions to your income

My cousin told me that he try to join pyramid and netwoking. He said when he join this kind of job he also quit after 2 weeks. It's hard to earn money from it and the only one who become rich is the person who recruit you.

yes, you are right. we have to be careful especially if we are investing hard cash. there are many opportunities out there which try to woo our cash and efforts. it is up to us where we invest them. for me, nothing beats the time-tested and secure investments in banks. most banks now offer mutual funds and bonds in which you can put your money. if one wants to work, better hone and develop skills that will put you in a better position. wishing you the best.

It depends on the company itself. Not all Pyramiding or Networking is a scam or fraud. We all know AVON, right? This company is a direct selling company wherein there is also a Networking involve. The more you have a recruit the better. To sum up things, Not all are scam or fraud.

In this time of global crisis we must be an open minded person, always think positive. We have to understand that the reality of certain things can only be proved if we have to try for it. Networking or MLM is a system that most of the companies used today to seek an opportunity for all. It's really hard on our part if there is an involve of money investment to join with this systems. NOw, the wise decision we could make in our part to find out which will give us a good result is to try it for free. There are some systems out there who could provide a free joining and letting us to experience their marketing strategy before to invest money. If you need to know some of these free systems just contact me and I'll be happy to share it with you. Cheers, James
