"Difficult Roads often leads to Beautiful Destinations" - The Journey of my Life

Have you ever tried joining MLM or Multi Level Marketing Programs? How about Online Programs that offering Home-based jobs by doing typing mode or inviting someone to join also? Have you heard any programs doing the same plans or strategy? Are you also aware that some of them earned and some still paying their debts because they joined the companies offering this kind?

Well if your answer is YES, me too. I'd experienced different kinds of MLM and online home-based programs. Spent so much money and it didn't return as contrast to my expectation that i could earn easy money by doing these. I've also experienced robbed by my coordinator or "upline" that's what they call it, got all my products at the same time my money and nothing returned back.

I will share to you what are the companies that i joined and got all my money in no return:

ROYALE BUSINESS CLUB

I knew that all of you already heard about this company. They have this kind of word "POWER". And you even shouting it also. And when you said, "OPEN MINDED KA BA?", I'm allergic to that phrase, everytime i hear that, i know its MLM.

Back to my story, first i saw ads by people who joined Royale in Facebook. Posting what they accomplished, buying cars most likely. They even posted with their own face riding their newly bought cars, houses, and so many more. With these marketing ads, many of us interested to join and be the same as they are. After that, i saw my college schoolmate who also joined Royale and ask her how to do these and that. After she explained to me everything, she asked me if i want to join, then i said yes and she said that she will be my upline.

Day came, we went to the Business Center and paid the total amount of P 8000 for the package. I chose the cheapest package since i don't have enough money and all i want is to earn by doing a roll of my capital. The assistance and the process took time, after 2-3 hours of registration, i became an official member of it. I also received the products included in the package worth the same as my registration fee. What my upline did was, she took almost all of my products and said that she will sell it to her clients and gave back the money to me once they paid her. So, in my trust, i gave it all to her. Trusting that she will help me truthfully. After few days, she always updating me on the status of the products and said she sell it already and just waiting for the payments. After few weeks more, she never contacted me anymore, i texted her, called her, no one answering her phone. Until now, i didn't see her even once. I felt so broke that time that i don't want to tell to anybody even my family that i scammed. After that, i focused on my job just to regain what i loss, doing overtimes just to get the amount that my upline robbed to me.

EMGOLDEX

After our company bought by another Big Bank, we are paid through our Separation Pay. Although they pay me enough money to give to my family, there's no work or job waiting for you for tomorrow. So, i decided just to look for another opportunity to earn. I saw Emgoldex this time. I saw proofs or earnings also in Facebook. That they money they invested on it grew for as much as 500% for just only 3 months. Imagine that. Your Php 36,500 will turn into Php 180,000. So it's a big money indeed right?

I look for a coordinator to help me in processing my account. I literally withdrew Php 36500 on my bank account, that my family don't even knew that. I spent that much money on that site trusting that it will out to be good this time and erase all the bad memories of the past.

In short, i am successfully joined Emgoldex within the day. I am happy at first because i feel that that time i will earn much money and able to help my family even i am looking for another job that time. Days pass, weeks and months, i keep on asking my coordinator what happened to my account, he said that they are trying to do their best to exit all their teammates so just wait for my turn. And later that time, he told me to invite more also to be able to fasten the process of my exit. That time, who will you able to invite to just lend their big amount of money for a marketing program that I didn't make an exit first? Well, to cut the story short, i wasn't able to get back my money and my coordinator now, i can't contact him anymore. So much money i spent to that MLM. That time, my whole world crashed into me, every night i cried, even in dreams, i kept on dreaming that one day, i will be able to get those money back to me.

HPI

And after all my failures, i still want to look for an online marketing program that may help me and earn money as a sideline from my new job. My workmate invited me to join her husband's networking business. Explaining all the process and workflow of the online system, they encouraged me to join also. So i give it a chance also. We went to the HPI office in Quezon City, and by there i saw many people also having their payouts, cash, cheques, and even those who are falling in line for registration purposes. That time, i said to myself, "This is it". I joined for Php 15,000. Here their strategy is you will wait for just days and your money will earn an amount. So, at my first few weeks, i had a payout amounting to Php 3000 something as far as i remember, so in much of my excitement, i rushed to the office the following day to claim that earning. I thought that i can also withdraw my whole capital, but they announces that they will only pay the interest and your money will be rolled for another batch. This company changed their strategy and have more power to hold your capital than sending you back all of your investment with interest to you. After my first and LAST payout, the company seized their operation immediately after government and other investors revealed that their licenses to operate is illegal. Investors file cases to the owners of this hpi business and later that year, the government captures the main head behind these. Even though i could not get my money back, justice was served.

ONE LIGHTNING

In this multi level marketing program, i joined this as my college friend said it to me. He is also a member of One Lightning and sent all his proof of earnings from the day he joined it. So in trust because of him, i joined it also, sending Php 10,000. We went to the office in Ortigas where the One Lightning Office located. On that evening, i have my account registered. This company promises also to just wait and your money will earn, after few months of waiting, suddenly a news broke on the television that One Lightning seized operations also as same with HPI. At that time, i am shocked and literally cannot eat and speak for days. I was scammed again and again.

UWEALTH100

My experience here is just short, nowadays, online business or online home-based job started to boom. Many of the people wants to earn even they are on home doing also some household chores. I just tried it because of the Php 100 entry fee and you will earn by doing encoding of captchas and just by inviting others too. Well, the program is ok but for one main problem, the data entry part is always down and if it's ok, you will need to refresh it frequently because of the bugs the system has. Well, data entry not pays so much, it pays from Php 0 - Php 0.0025. And the withdrawal fee is Php 300. So you'll need to work for almost a month or two to be able to have your first withdrawal.

And fortunately, as the saying goes "Difficult Roads often leads to Beautiful Destinations", i met John David Cañaberal. The person who invited and encouraged me to join *Steemit. (His username is Hive account@iamjeydii) This person is a 16 year old only but do have a matured mindset. This boy is kindhearted that always ready to help people.

He told me everything he know about Steemit. He believes on my ability and determination. At first, i was doubtful to join since, i am no blogger, i am no photographer, i am no artist in myself. But he insists, that i can, just be optimistic. So i tried, and after 2 weeks, i earned my first encashment and helps me a lot. And here is the link for you to read it and have an additional motivation and inspiration for yourself.

REALIZATION

With my experiences from the past, I learned that there is no such thing as easy money. You will work hard for it. Strive for it to earn. The fruit of your labor comes at the end of your hardships. That we must not be amazed by those foolish marketing strategy and just by seeing those material things to fool people.

TIPS FOR NEWBIES

First, before you enter any MLM programs, make sure that all licenses of that company are all legal. Or maybe please stay away on those kinds of "easy money scheme". There is no such thing as easy money. We must work hard and never stops dreaming.

And here is my sad but happy story together with Steemit.
