Before I tell you how did I get here in the online world of making money, I like to introduce myself first. My name is Jeff, a.k.a. bogartkick and sprogenesis. I am 21 years old, from Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Philippines, studying Management, graduating status at the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos. I am 6 years in college now since my first two years, I took up nursing, but then I realize that business is what my heart belongs because my mother only forced me to took up Nursing. But since she realize that my grades starting to drop, she realizes that nursing is not my ambition...it's business. So I took up Management which I feel comfortable to myself. It's my dream to become a successful businessman, especially in marketing strategies. I am the eldest in my family and having two beautiful young sisters. My family lived together in a simple way, in a big house, where everybody is comfortable. Sometimes, I do bad things which my parents don't like, especially in computer games, which affected my studies, but now I realize that there is no future when playing computer games, surfing the internet, chatting.....until I found something....which I will tell it to you in my next topic, which is............MY JOURNEY TO MAKE MONEY.
MY JOURNEY BEGINS HERE
On October 2006, I am alone, strolling around the mall, until a man gave me a flyer, and i read it that it says "WANNA EARN EXTRA INCOME?". Then, I asked the man named Rudy, "What job is this is all about?". Rudy said, "If you're interested, then I'll take you to the office". Then since I'm interested since I'm still a student, I am introduced to their office which is named "DXN International Service Center". First of all, I feel doubt about this company, because I never heard of this company before, so Rudy just let me in to their seminar room, which on time, the seminar has just begun and a speaker discusses about this company. When he discussed about their marketing plan, I feel I was delighted of that kind of plan, which is known as Multi-Level-Marketing strategy. Once again, I feel doubt about it because I heard most of the people said that Multi-Level-Marketing or pyramiding schemes are scam, and their products are not familiar as well, but their plan is very different, but it costs me P500 ($10) one-time registration to join this business. But on that day, I have no money, so I informed Rudy that I will join if I have money. Then when i informed my parents about this, they encouraged me not to join because of the pyramiding scheme, so I just forget about DXN and continue on my studies. On November 2006, I go to a barber shop for some haircut, until my favorite barber, Edwin, introduced to me his long-time customer, Peter John. Since I'm on my haircut, me and Peter get to know each other about our personal situations, until he said that he also likes to internet and chat, just like me. So we became friends. On March 10, 2007, I have some money in my pocket and something strucked in my mind and asked to myself, "Is it worth to join DXN?" I made my final decision. I went to DXN and signed up the form and paid the registration fee of P500 ($10) and I finally became a member. They also gave me the package which I purchased with a sales kit and ID and I'm also entitled to 20%-25% discount lifetime when i purchase. On the ff. day, I met Peter in an internet cafe and I also inform him about what i discovered and explained all, until he is interested. I brought him to the office and then we met a motivator named Nick, who then explained to Peter about the marketing plan, but since Peter has not enough money, he said that if he has money, he will join. On March 27, 2007, he joined DXN and I was his referral. Then our DXN journey begins........
MY DXN JOURNEY
Me and Peter came a long way for this business. We attended free trainings and seminars so that we could gain more knowledge on how we could deal with lots and lots of people, but this is not very easy for both of us. We keep on inviting people to come to our office, but some are not interested, but some are interested, but having no money. We have'nt earn money yet, because we have not enough money to purchase products worth of 1,000 points maintenance. In DXN, in order to receive rebates, a distributor must purchase 1,000 PV (points value) worth of products or in other words P2,000 ($40) monthly. If we have'nt reached 1,000 PV, we will have no rebates or monthly checks, even if we have referrals. So that is our problem. Peter has some money which his father always gave him allowance, he purchased products worth of PVs, until he had reached 1,000 PV in a month, on the next month which is on May 2007, he received a check of P76.00 ($1.50), without referrals, but I was the problem, I did'nt maintain because of insufficient funds. Still, no such results. On the same month, a distributor from Cavite named Marvic, the brother of Nick, whom he lectured Peter since he was a new prospect, arrived in Bacolod and Nick just informed both of us that Marvic is here. So I can't wait to meet him, because he earned more than P30,000 ($600) a month. So Marvic gathered us all around in the seminar room and he conducted training which I have never been doing it before. So I tried his strategy by selling my products to any retail stores or in public markets, even also to the elderly. It really worked and reached 1,000 PV, until on August 2007, I finally received my 1st check since I joined on March 2007, worth P96.92 ($1.94). But that amount was not really enough. Peter already have 4 checks, but I only received once. On the same month on August, since me and Peter still struggling to find referrals until we have met Chandi, a student of CHMSC (Carlos Hilado Memorial State College), interested to join in our program, but Peter noticed that Chandi was not really serious about it, so he gave him the application letter to fill it up and Peter was his referrer and later, gone home. On the following day, someone texted Peter that Chandi has joined DXN and paid the registration fee, then Peter was shocked on that report, and he was excited that he send me a message that Chandi has just joined, I'm also shocked and I can't really sleep on that situation and on the same day, Chandi invited his friend Lenard, on the same school, and immediately joined, and once again, me and Peter we're really shocked and excited that our downlines are now growing. On September 2007, another one just joined under me and his name is Greg, but somehow, not really serious about the business because of his full-time duty on San Miguel Corporation with no day-off. On October 2007, Lenard received his 1st and last check worth P66.00 ($1.32), and then later on November, my downlines are'nt showing up again, because of discouragements from their parents. So me and Peter are the only left in our group. On the same month, Peter opened his Friendster and received a message from someone that says "I'M REALLY PAID BY THIS ONLINE PROGRAM", and he opened the link and it directs him to Hits4Pay website. He read the website, and then he called me through landline about what he saw. Then......our online making money journey begins.........
THE STORY WILL END UP HERE FOR NOW. I WILL POST THE CONTINUATION OF MY STORY SOON!
