Velocitron:
Honestly, they sound like a pyramid scheme.
Yes thats what it feels like from afar but when you understand it you will realize that they are very far from pyramid.


Just like the explanation i made on my signature page, many people think they will actually have their growth so smooth like

3
9
27
81
243
729
2187

Meanwhile for the first year after joining it may actually never go beyond

2
3
5
20
50
100
300

But you know the good news, even with your growth as poor as the second illustration, within a year you could still earn over 3000euro out of the expected 25,000euro plus so please tell me if 4,000euro is not good enough for any reasonable person to plan a goos investment with.

Do you know what a pyramid scheme is?
Yes i perfectly do.

Some people have argued that all mlm programs are pyramid but this is not true.

A pyramid is a network structure that selfishly leverage on the efforts of referrals in such a way that no matter how hard working they are,they will never ever earn more than the person who enrolled them.

So lets look at the golden circle system.

-I enroll with 54 euro with a form i get from my sponsor and i give him/her 18euro in local currency equivalent.

-I get 3 friends to sign up and i get back my initial invested 54euro in full.

So will this make me earn more than the 3 people i just enrolled?NO.

You may sign up 3 people and each of these 3 may sign up 1 person each while that 1 person may sign up 3 people and the 3 sign up complete 3 people each and this automatically earns him more money than you.

See friend,networking is like sowing and reaping but the idea is to have a reasonable harvest.

Some people think that every3 you get will get 3 and it goes on and on like that but this will likely never happen but the idea is that no matter how random your growth may be, within a year you would have earned something worthwhile to do something reasonable and that is the aim.

What eventually happened to the Golden circle or where is it today?

All these ponzi, pyramid, multi-level marketing don't work
I love intelligent questions like this except the conclusion you made.

Golden circle has been in existence for over 30 years and still operating as i write this and i just earned another 30euro yesterday.

In 1999 it made its debut in Nigeria when some Ghhianians introduced it and ofcourse its a German program.

The point is that it was formaerly domiciled in usd but when the euro currency came to be, it was changed to euro and made 75euro from 45usd which made it hard for many to partcipate due to the high cost and this necessitated the introduction of a new 54euro category to allow people with tight budget participate so nothing has happened to it and its still waxing stronger.

GNLD is the most elaborate lie ever concoted. I joined and was ripped off more than 200k. if u join u can never make heaven cos u have to lie every freaking day. we share fake vacancy fliers and even pray over them. People claim to make millions including those dt just joined. We enter buses nd refuse to pay even though wr hv the money we are taught to beg. We are brainwashed like boko haram wouldbe sucide bombers. My eyes are open now, I apologise to all those av scammed.
In as much as i will never bring down any program,i will say this and i stand challenged anyday anytime that GNLD and the likes are not the best for budding enterprenures expecially those who are still husttling their way up.

I was actually in a bus coming back from omole estate where i went around selling GNLD products in 1999 when a woman from Ghana told me about Golden circle and i thank GOD that unlike some people here who will not be objective i keyed into the opportunity and it paid off because while i never made N100 in GNLD,i was able to raise about 400k from this program and i rented an office to start my busines.

pls can you send info about such opportunity to my email.
At jibrilsalihu2015@gmail.com
There is no need sending anything to your email. It is a transparent program that have been existing for many years but the 54euro bronze category is a newly introduced one to allow many countries with low earners enjoy the benefits.

It beats my imagination when naive and bias people draw up conclusions without finding out facts.

The Bible says we should not swear but i write this with GOD almighty as a witness that this same program was what gave me financial back bone in 2001 that i used to start my company after trying in futility to make a headway in GNLD after bringing it from Ghana in 1999.

This is one of the cheques i collected with my mum's name way back when the program was still domiciled in usd but today its in euro and your money goes directly into your local bank account.

Some people will still say this cheque was forged and this is why many youths in Nigeria will find it hard to break new growths because of their negative attitude towards great opportunity.

Nigeria postal service was so bad way back that we had to use cotonou postal service so tell me why i will come to nairaland to promote a scam program?

cecegorz:
You started well by explaining that those MLM schemes are legal and then ended up by introducing the readers to your illegal business.
The MLM schemes you properly explained are legal because of just one thing; they have commodities you can sell and make some little profit, apart from earnings on your down lines.
But your own scheme is called a Ponzi scheme, a criminal activity that is based on recruiting down lines ONLY! What happens is that if i give you 54euros to register, but can't get anybody else to do same, my money is gone with the wind.
But mind you, you can land yourself in jail in no time, if you continue on this track.
You can read up on the failed wonder banks in Nigeria, or Madoff of USA.
I appreciate your insight but next time i will advice you ask questions rather than jump into bias and baseless conclusion.

Before i shed more light lets look at what Ponzi means;Ponzi is another name for pyramid scheme and what exactly is a pyramid?

A pyramid is a mode of business where no matter how hardworking your down-lines are,they can never earn more than you.

In GNLD,TIANSHI.TASLY.VMAX,FOREEVER LIVING and many more we wil agree that the modus operandi is to register with a certain amount and then buy products to accumulate a certain volume in order to qualify you for a growth and to facilitate your growth you will need to sign up people who will also buy product and continue the chain. So just as you asked as illustrated above in bold letterings i ask the same from you "What after registering in gnld and the likes you have no money to buy products or have the ability to sign up new people?" i guess your money is also gone with the wind shey?

Let me educate you dude,the program on my signature does not involve buying and selling of products but its simply a global cooperative scheme where people come together to make voluntary donations to others and your 54euro was never paid in vain because you actually made 6 people richer by 3 and 10 euro reespectively and i do not think if you give out 54euro voluntarily to help people you will say you lost your money unlike other mlms that you use huge money to register and get stocked due to lack of money to purchase products that you dont really need.

Are you conversant with esusu? thrift where a number of people come together to contribute money on a periodic basis for the aim of enriching each other so please see this 54euro program as the same and please check the screen shots to see what i have earned so far.

If you don't understand stuffs please ask rather than hastily jump into baseless and unfounded bias conclusion and in that way you will learn more in life. Peace.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Why Job Seekers Hate Marketing Jobs (A Must Read) by Toks2008(m): 11:51am On Aug 06, 2015
Marketing is the opium of any profitable organization.

While many people prefer the type of job that requires them walking into an office,sit down and attend to clients, they fail to look away from the fact that without marketing,that company will crash in a swift.

The time is coming when employers will pay salaries based on percentage of profits made for the month so whether we love it or hate it,we all better start embracing marketing.

The funny twist is that consciously or unconsciously we are all marketers and most times without benefits.

How many times have you told a friend about a nice meal you ate at a certain mama put?
How many times have you recommended a good product you like to a friend?
Countless number of people are enjoying the health benefits of garlic and pineapple mix because i freely gave an advice on it and if there is a company that is actually selling this i guess i would have earned great commissions from them.

i can not continue to enumerate on the many products and services we all have marketed at one time or the other without even deliberately doing it yet when we are conspicuously confronted with a sales/marketing job, we suddenly develop an appalling attitude towards it.Strange i must say.

honestbabe:
GNLD is scam,its coded way of 419,one of onyibo way of using Africans to shine,they will tell you to register with 10,000,then you will be given product of 6000,and your expected to be buying product worth of 100 points not less than 25000 thousand every month to maintain your level and if unfortunately you did not see another person to do 419 and dumped the product,GNLD WILL compel you to be paying for 100 points worth of product every month,whether you sell or not,if not sorry is your name,their products are expensive and are not as effective as portrayed,infact GNLD RUB me more than 200,000,na so i de buy product way i go trekk all the streets of abuja to sell but no way,and the worst part of it is that their members lie a lot,they lie about job opportunity and deceive you more that they are making it already where as they are suffering
Let me clear the air on one misconception.

Network marketing or multilevel marketing is a legal,legitimate and regulated business like every other business and in fact it is taught as a whole course in Harvard.

Life itself is multilevel and today we have billions of people in the world all originating from 2 people as the bible made us to believe.

In newt-work marketing you don't start today and expect to make money overnight.It could take years to start getting the dividend but in Nigerians are always interested in short cuts.

For instance look at forex trading,i actually developed a profitable software that can generate average of 10% monthly on your capital but Many Nigerians have always asked me, can't it make 50% and i just shake my head.

GNLD,TIANSHI,TASLY,VMAX,FOREVER LIVING and so on are all legal,profitable and well organized way of EARNING PASSIVE INCOME.did you read that? PASSIVE INCOME(an income you make by the side which serves as alternative source of income and should not be rushed or placed too much expectation on but it keeps coming)

I do not upport the aggressive nature and the canny way some people lure unsuspecting individuals into GNLD and the likes but when it comes to the issue of scanm or no scam, i can tell anyone authoritatively that it is not scam but a legitimate and foermidable way of making passive income if we can only be patient.

The programe i have on my signature is another great way of making over 25,000euro which could take 1,2,3,4,5 years to come but keeps coming as deposits of 36euro in your local currency equivalent into your bank account.

1.Just sign up with 54euro through someone who is already a member which is pegged at 240naira to 1euro by the company in Germany due to crazy fluctuations in Nigeria.

2.Get 3 friends to sign up through you and get back your full 54euro back into your pocket and forget you ever did it.

3.Start receiving sms alerts of 36euro deposit into your local bank account at 240naira to 1euro over and over and over again which keeps coming and coming until you have earned 25,000euro+

Just start it and give yourself like a year and you would have made something tangible to do something worthwhile.

That is passive income. no rushing

Skillfullulu:
The stress is much and it aint that payiing
I actually was one of the people who brought in GNLD from Ghana in 1999.

I went through hell trying to market these products and the stress made me dump it because the more i tried the more i realize how futile it was due to bad economy.

Even till date the same problem persists because in order to grow, you must make down-lines which is no issue but making a speculated PV(Point values) is the problem.

The good news is that every one interested in raising substantial money to start any business of choice can now take advantage of a global cooperative program which gives you the opportunity to generate over 25,000euro with zero capital.

Boss13:
Well the scarcity of dollars is what has made it appreciated to 230 per naira. The official rate is 190 per naira. Now that there will be excess dollars in the system, the naira will strengthen against the dollar in the parallel market (black market)

Bad market for BDCs and Mallams
Exactly the point i made above.

These illegal transaction by the insiders and black marketters are done with dom accounts except they will now be smuggling the fcurrency out of the bank,it will no longer be business as usual.

barcanista:
This will cause more harm to the naira. Anyway, this is an overflogged issue. Time will tell
For real? please explain your assertion because in my view it will bring about fast appreciation of the naira against foreign currencies.

The parrallel market has been the major factor responsible for sudden depreciation of the naira and ofcourse with this new policy,cash flow in the parallel market will be minimized and people would rather opt for the official bank exchange rate which will in turn strengthen the naira.

All these headline rate of 250 to 1usd is only in black market which is also the parallel market but bank rate is far lower than that.

Some insiders in the bank also have a way of selling dollars to the black marketters hence making it business as usual but right now it will no longer be so.

lets wait and see how it goes.

Ten Truths Most Singles Don't Want To Hear

4. The habits you don't subdue as a single has 70% chance showing up in your marriage. Haha! The difference between the Married guy and the Single guy, most times, it's just the ring. The ring is not like "Lord of the Ring" that has inbuilt power. An average man hides his ring to get fresh "interns"
Number 4 so on point.

For instance i don't know how to philander despite the fact that people see me as too cute to be with a lady but i have lived all my life being faithful to one lady and even now that i have all the chance in the world to philander as a single guy,i still can't find myself doing that and this bothers me to the extent that i began to think if im really ok.

Yes im very sexually active and crazy but i still can't philander maybe due to the fact that since i was 13 i have turned Jesus boy so the habits of been decent has been engraved in my body,soul and spirit so you are right bro.What you do as a single person will likely follow you into marriage.

My friends and I were involved in a hot argument just yesterday and the issue was how to find a decent lady for a wife given the circumstance/low standard of society today.
Like me most of my friends are bachelors in their 30s and the topic was brought one by one of them experiencing problems with his girlfriend that has led to several fights and destruction of property. Our discussions went many but it inevitably led to the question of where to find a good supply of, decent, matured minded, single ladies to pick from and settle down with? Of course the first suggestions where dating sites and then religious dating sites. We argued on this a while before one friend made a funny suggestion.
He put it this way - 'why waste time and money browsing though those dating sites with 70% fake photos and profiles when you can browse for free through Lagos churches that are over flowing with desperate single ladies'
We all agreed he made sense of course particularly when you considered the beauty of a fiance his younger brother got himself at a church in Abia state. Problem is there are over a million churches in Lagos and we just can't visit them all so here I am opening a trend and asking for suggestion from all.
