Pay to work or work to pay...

One of my principles when it comes to working is that i very much "pantang" or taboo that i have to pay to work. Recently, a friend of mine were talking to me about how an MLM talked to him about getting rich without having to work so much. The deal? You have to pay a certain amount of hundreds of dollars to be a member. After paying, you will have recruit members and sell things. Whether the returns will be great, the results is unknown.

First, if i am going to work i will make sure that i won't pay anything. Instead, i offer you my service and you pay me. That is why i hate MLM so much. Have you ever consider that when you either buy their products or becoming a member the chances of striking rick works?

Second, i don't like begging or persuading people to join something or buy something. Hell, if your product are damn good i don't think you need people to walk around and ask people to buy. Instead people will come to you and buy it themselves.

Third, you may argue that MLM method is just one way of introducing to the people. So? Plus what happens if the company close down or they don't want MLM anymore while you still earn nothing? Its not stable. Period.

Fourth, you may even argue that you can take your own time and recruit members (what the hell happen to HR department?) or sell products. WTF? If i don't go find members or sell your products my points will remain low and wouldn't get much. No way, i am going to waste my money on MLM thingies and sweat off my time go look for some Ah Bengs and Uncles to get their money.

Fifth, don't come and talk to me about MLM. You want me to pay you for membership? Why not i pay you and you go look for members for me and i earn your points. Go fly kite!

In conclusion, i worked 8 hours a day and is enough. Seeing customer another extra hours and for sure have to see customer faces and farts for MLM is not my cup of tea. I rather use my extra hours to do something beneficial like still getting money and not paying anything large amount of money for membership fees.


Tell me why do i need to pay RM300 to work (recruiting members is still a work) and be a member and still have to go find members for you? Absolutely it is out of the question.



is sky the limit... i get paid for working not paying to work. Go fly Kite!
