Multi-level marketing

Multi-level marketing or better known as MLM is a marketing strategy that makes use of two revenue streams from direct sales of the products they are selling and from the commission that is derived from the sales of recruited team members. This recruited team members is referred to as the participant's "downline", and can provide multiple levels of compensation. Most of the time to become a member the recruits would need to shell out huge about of money as membership fee and initial products to sell.

MLM is also referred as pyramid selling, network marketing, and referral marketing.

Pyramid scheme - is an illegal business model that recruits members who would need to pay a FEE to join with a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, it does not offer any investments or sale of products or services. As recruiting multiplies, recruiting becomes saturated and it would be impossible to recruit more, and most members are unable to profit; as such, pyramid schemes are unsustainable and often illegal.

Pyramid scheme or pyramid scam is a quick rich scheme it cannot continue very long.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) is not a Pyramid scheme - if you are engage in MLM make sure that most of the money that you make is based on your sales to the public, if it is it may be a legitimate multilevel marketing plan. If the money you make is based on the number of people you recruit and your sales to them, it is not legitimate and it is a "pyramid scheme" (Pyramid SCAM). Pyramid schemes are illegal, and the vast majority of participants lose money.

Network marketing is a type of business opportunity that is very popular with people looking for part-time, flexible businesses. Some of the best-known companies in the US that engage in network marketing includes Avon, Mary Kay Cosmetics and Tupperware.

Alifelong Pyramid Scam, Pluggle Clone


Alifelong pyramid scam, Alifelong Scam, scamming, Pluggle


What is Alifelong Marketing and Services Inc? According to them they are an Advertising Company who have foreign clients who buy Ads, yup sounds like Pluggle to me. I would not be surprise if Alifelong is owned by the same people who own Pluggle. 

How do you make money on Alifelong?

1. Once you register in their program you will get $6. Not bad eh!
2. When someone sign up under you, you will get $2 everytime.
3. Click 2,000 Ads you get $2, click 5,000 Ads you get $10 (natuto na si Pluggle gumaya na sa mga PTC Ads na libre so pag tinanong kung may produkto may tuturo siya! lol)
4. You can also earn $0.2 cents on your sales group left and right up to 10th level
5. There's also Leveling Bonus like Pluggle you get $8 on every pairs left and right up to 12th level.
6. Minimum withdrawal is Php2,000

So what is the catch?

Just like Pluggle you need to pay Php1,500 activation fee, level up to from Php1,000 only in Pluggle and you need to also recruit other people who will pay the Php1,500 activation fee.

Copy paste na copy paste from Pluggle, lol.


Silimarities with Pluggle

1. The scheme is very identical, they just added the Paid to click Ads. A lot of reputable websites like Neobux and others offer this kind of opportunity for free.

2.They even use the same cartoon character sa Pluggle, it seems they are too lazy to change it.

How can you tell that this is a scam?

1. The owners or owner don't want to be identified. If you check out alifelong.asia on Whois, you won't get anything from it. Check out the name of the registrant, it's "alife long" from mexico, pampanga. It's not very credible, I would never trust your money with them.

If you click their About page the Senior Executives are Elmer Tinambacan and Venjamin Martinez? really? They don't even use believable people's name.

Check out their team JM Suba, Maki Borabon, Bob Peters, John Stevens (with a woman's picture), Billy Richards, and Jane Doe.
