A collection of unbiased independent MLM/ Networking and direct selling programs review from the people. The aim is to provide honest and fair platform for everyone to share and receive quality information.
Again another fantastic opportunity given by the admin (miss teddybear69) to write a review on her blog. Today I am going to review adgoggle. A mobile app that will be launching this 31st of December 2012. Adgoggle focuses on mobile advertising as their niche. They predicted that this will be the next big thing since the internet is becoming more and more handy with the advent of smart phones. Even the giant social media websites like twitter and facebook have mobile apps that is becoming more and more popular among the users.
Why do you want to be a part of this?
1.You want to make money Yes, you will make money, adgoggle shares its advertising revenue to its audience, (you). Grow your network and give more viewers to adgoggles advertisers and you will be rewarded handsomely
2.This has a huge potential.
Who doesn't want to be part of something big? Furthermore, who doesn't want to be the pioneers of something big? The time to join is now. Be the first among your friends. In adgoggle, you are only allowed to have one account and every individual can only have one referral. If your friend already has an account that was referred by others then there is nothing you can do about it. The perfect time is now, if you wait for this to grow big then you might find it hard to build your network and lose the chance to earn big.
3. Totally free to join
Yes, Just like the promise of facebook. "this is free and always will be", so what have you got to loose?
Adgoggle is the real deal, there are lots websites out there claiming to be advertising companies sharing their profits to their members but in reality they ask you for a fee to join, and requires you to recruit more to continue earning. Building a pyramid scheme to grow the members in which they exploit, get money from, advertise and they get paid by the advertisers. The admin warned me of those companies, in fact you can see them in her other posts. I am proud to say the adgoggle is not like those programs, It is completely free to join, and free to earn, that is because the money truly comes from advertisers.
Text2Cash Corporation is said to be the first in the Philippines to use text messaging for advertising. This company is still in pre launch state as of now ( 12/16/2012). Official website: www.mytext2cash.com
The corporation behind this is called Newgen Marketing.
Pay Plan
To join you have to pay 988 Php
Upon joining you are to receive 10 advertisement in your cellphone via text message. Nobody likes to be advertised but you are paid 20 Php so that is not so bad. Until you realize that is all you get, 200 Php return for 1k investment. And in order to be advertised more and get paid you need to recruit! This is where it begins to stink! First 5 recruits you get 5 Valued ad text, 6th-10th you get 7 Valued ad and only after 11th onwards that they will give you 10 Valued ad text.
When you subscribed to them you agree to receive 5-15 ad text (text advertising), The problem is there are two kinds of ad text, first is valued ad text which is worth 20 Php, but you need to reply with the script provided. and the second kind is free ad text which is worthless. This again for me is another abuse of an innocent subscriber not knowing what they are getting into. What if it did took you a long time to recruit someone? Or you are a weak recruiter? Or you decided to quit? They probably will flood your cellphone inbox with annoying worthless advertisement just because you agreed with the terms and condition. Furthermore, even with the Valued text ad you still need to reply the script provided and I doubt if they will shoulder the cost for the reply message. For me its a TRAP!! Don't fall for it!
These kind of systems are making a fool of people which I highly go against. They basically are building a pyramid scheme to grow a member base that ridiculously pays them to be advertised, and they keep 100% of the advertisers money! Poor ignorant people thought that the money is coming from advertisers as what text2cash wants them to believe. But wise individuals will know that the money they will be paying you comes from your own registration fee and from those you recruit. Take note, you will only get 200Php ROI from 1k investment. And there is no way for you to earn but bring them another 1k by recruiting idiots like you.
In my opinion this is the greediest system Ive ever known. Just like adszense and todayadz only in the form of text advertising but the systems are the same. I must admit I made some sucky post but self reviews on companies with these systems are the most self fulfilling on my cause to save people from this pyramid schemes.
They always argue they are not pyramiding and will tell me I do not know what I am talking about or do not even know what pyramiding is.
So why do I consider it a Pyramid scheme?
1. You can only earn if you recruit, If you can not recruit you do not make money.
2.The money they will pay you comes from your own registration fees and from those you recruit still with a lot left that goes to text2cash pocket.
If you don't agree with my definition of a pyramid scheme you can always do your due diligence and research before you decide whom to believe.
Another worst thing is they keep 100% of advertisers money! They make it look like they pay you to be advertised which is a complete deception. The money you will get is from you and your downlines investment with a lot left that will also be going into their pocket!
Disclaimer
The article above is purely my opinion and not an accusation. If you wish to add a point, agree or disagree with me, your comments are welcome below.
I was not aware of this company/companies if not for the people contacting me complaining about this companies deceitful ways of recruiting. I researched a bit about this company but unfortunately did not find the owners identity, only a bunch of teams and team leaders.
I also found their office address:
2nd Flr. Intrawest Centre, #33 Annapolis Street, Greenhills,
San Juan City, Philippines
They have a wide range of products from health and wellness, dish washing soap and food cart franchise. Entry levels also range from 4k to 75k and they have the usual binary compensation plan.
The complaints
Most of the people that emailed me are job seekers that end up in this recruitment seminar of The Filipino Dream networking company or TFD.
These are what they told me:
>I was looking for job in sales and found one of their ads, there was no sign that it was networking, It really looked like a real job. Except you only are required to bring a pen and a paper. Not even a resume. I contacted the advertiser and he scheduled me on a Wednesday afternoon. When I got there, Damn!! It was networking! Wasted my time big time!
Below are some of the Emails I recieved
These statements are not coming form me and I can not guarantee their truthfulness and accurateness. But if this were true, then in my opinion, The Filipino Dream or TFD and Filtrepreneur has a big responsibility to this people and the public. This is clearly a bad business practice to their part. Deceiving people for me is a sign of a desperate measure to recruit new members to continue the pyramid chain structure. It could be that they are going down that is why they resort to deceiving people.
The suspected ads
Majority of these victims (6 out of 8) found the ad post on sulit.com.ph classified ads in jobs category. I believe it will be a good idea to list those links of allegedly deceiving job post. This is for you to get to know them and be warned.
Firstly, I want to thank the admin (teddybear69) for this opportunity
to write and publish an article in this site.
Today I am going to do a review about ads2freedom. This is a
very fresh online business opportunity that is less than a month old at the
time of this writing. Mr. Edwin Ramos owns it, Official site www.ads2freedom.com.
Products
The main product of ads2freedom is mainly advertising credits
but also has digital eBooks library as a bonus.
In our chat with the admin, she stressed out that the value
of products is a very important consideration for her. She asked me to
expound more on that advertising credits, how does it work? she made mention
of adzense and todayadz which she describes as a “dodgy” PTC advertising
companies. I proudly answered back; we are nothing like those companies. They
advertise TO their members while we advertise OUR members businesses. Just like
google and facebook, you pay them to advertise and give exposure to your business,
get traffic to your blog or website, There is no doubt this has a value. After
I made that little explanation, there was brief moment of waiting for her to
reply, maybe she was analyzing and thinking over what I just said, but I feel
confident I did well. Then she replied, "well, I am happy to hear that, I
believe it does have a value, it is straightforward advertising. Now let us
discuss about that eBooks. Are you familiar with these companies? Gold club
50, supreme wealth alliance and todaysnet? In my opinion, they all are
exploiting this new eBook technology and create a pyramiding scheme out of it. Private
label rights is just nonsense for me. If I joined for example Supreme Wealth
Alliance, paid 2,500php and have access to all those eBooks in their library
with private label rights. What is stopping me to download all those and create
my own library available to everyone for free? Where is the value of that
product now?" Immediately, I agreed to her that she has point. However, I told
her that the eBooks we have are just a bonus incentive for our members personal development in this business. The 880php is already
covered by 5000 banner advertising credits plus 5000 text advertising credits.
It was not 100% convincing for her but I am happy she gave me the benefit of
the doubt by saying, "if that is the case, then I see no problem with
ads2freedom product."
Pay Plan
There is no better way to explain this than a video coming from Mr.
Edwin Ramos himself.
Multi Level Marketing or Networking is just like any other
business. Hard work is not enough; you also need to work smart to be
successful. The fact that only few people will make it, proves it is not that
easy and only a few has what it takes.
In business, all we have are opportunities and possibilities
not guarantees, a little bit like gambling. Nevertheless, in business we have
the power to increase our chances of success, unlike gambling that is only
relying on pure luck.
5 ways on how to increase your chances in MLM industry.
This is my own collection of thoughts on how to have an
advantage in the Networking game
*Timing is essential.
Given that effort is a controlled variable, pioneers
have greater chance than those who joined later and this is true to ALL multi
level marketing business.
*A strong team
This is especially important if you
are a weak marketer and your MLM are one of those who have power legging and spill
over features.
*The Product
A brilliant product is key to the
success and longevity of the company, not only to consider if it is in demand
as of the present but try to predict if people still needs it 5 to 10 years
from now.
*Free Training and support
A Good MLM company cares for its
members. They are not only after for your membership fee but they also want you
to be successful. Business is just not about working hard but working smart as
well.
*Free to Low investment
Risks are high especially if this
kind of business is new to you and you are still learning the basics. The good
thing about Network Marketing businesses is that they have such a wide range of
diversity. In this business you can start one from 0php to 15,000++php. However,
always remember, for starters, learning is more important than earning.
