Network Marketing - Another way of distributing commercial products to the user. It's a business model that combines both direct-selling AND franchising.
1.DCHL
DCHL is a network MARKETING company.Not a network RECRUITING company. No where in the DCHL marketing plan state that the only way to achieve income from this business is by recruiting people.DCHL does not sustain its income purely on recruiting distributors. Independant distributors of DCHL can always make sales by selling the products DCHL has to offer.
To put it simply, an independant distributor with DCHL is like any other salesmen, but with the power to franchise the business opportunity to others. Thus the difference between a door-to-door salesmen and a DCHL distributor is that the distributor can share the business opportunity with others.
So according to your opinions on the distributors, that means door-to-door salesmen make dirty money? and that they do not deserve a single ounce of respect just because all they are doing is trying to get income to support themselves? that they deserve less respect than any beggar on the street who isntead of trying to work for themselves purely depend on others generousity to feed themselves? .. or that Ray Kroc( Founder of the McDonalds brand ) is a filthy,money-sucking bastard for franchising his brand only to others?
2.Illegal pyramid scheme... or not?
Definition of pyramid scheme (from wikipedia) - A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually WITHOUT any PRODUCT or SERVICE being delivered.
So let me ask you mr Steven Yip, are the Lampe Berger lamps just illusions that do not exist? Are Estebel 1833 and Ed.Pinaud just brand names created out of thick air? Do they not get delivered to the distributors to sell or use?
As much as I respect your effort and little bit of research to try and support your claims, I resent the very fact you keep defining DCHL as an illegal pyramid scheme company without fully comprehensing the scheme(no pun intended) of things. The reason why DCHL cannot and will NEVER be taken down is because it's a valid and legal company where products are being marketed and do not malfunction and where commisions to it's distributors are never late and never not given.
All MLM companies that have ceased to operate and fail are those that either offer products that have no use whatsoever or are imitations of genuine products.This is why they fail to generate sustainable sales and income enough to pay the distributors their commision. So my question is, how on earth will DCHL be considered a company that functions illegally when it's products marketed are genuine, and it's commision payoff to it's distributors never fails to arrive on time and whole?.. Unless of course it is a LEGAL company :).
3."But only the person at the very top earns the most!". Truth of fact?..
While I admit the higher the position you are in DCHL, the more likely your income will be higher, I also wonder what's wrong with it?
Many people assume that the people in high positions in DCHL are people who joined early.Truth is, many of the Marquises and Dukes (quite high positions) are distributors who have joined just NOT SO LONG AGO. "How do they earn more than their upline?" you ask?, By earning those positions through sheer hard-effort in achieving the sales-quota.So of course their income is higher as the sales they generate in order to achieve those positions are higher than an odinary distributor!
There's no logic if a business that generates more sales than another gets less income than the other is there?
Besides, ask around and you will see that just because you are an upline of someone in DCHL does not mean you earn more than your downline.For example..just because you have a Duke as your downline does not mean you earn as much as a Duke.
While on the other hand, I have not heard of any corporations or companies that offer higher salaries to employees of lower levels. Employees of higher position will DEFINITELY have a higher salary than a lower one.If you can list a single company that pays more to its Receptionist than to its CEO, please do kindly share it with me.
4."My upline only wants me to work so he can get all the benefits"..Truth or fact?
While I think I have answered this quite clearly in my previous point, I wish to point out this obvious fact:-
-Your superior as an employee reserves the right to stop your income by firing you if you fail to do your given work.
-Your upline DOES NOT have the right to stop your income NOR fire you if you fail to build your own business.
I have not seen a case in DCHL where a distributor is forced to do sales for his upline just because he won't have income if he does not. And that's the beauty of this business!
5."My brother lost rm30K+ for investing in a Count position because his upline LIED to him!"... Who is the real liar?
As far as I am concerned, the reason distributors in DCHL invest in the count position is because of the various advantages and perks business-wise one gets when making sales from the said position.Any distributor that has a business mindset will definitely prefer to start their business from a position that allows them to maximise their business timewise and moneywise.
That being said, there is NO rule in DCHL that states a distributor MUST invest for the Count position before they begin their sales.So if there's no such obligation for distributors to do so, why then are so many people still saying DCHL forces it's distributors to invest?
When a "former" distributor starts feeling that their money is "lost" through investing in DCHL, I feel a certain tinge of sadness for them. Not because they "lost" their money, but because they are LYING to themselves.
An example of losing your investment is losing your money on the share market where at the end of the day you lose your shares also as well.On the other hand,when the Count money is invested you gain not only the position but the stocks accordingly.Also as part of DCHL's marketing plan, you never lose your position no matter how fast or slow you build your business.So please explain to me how can the investment be lost?
No offence , but my opinion is people who feel that they start feeling that they are not capable of generating any sales and that suddenly they feel this business is too hard to achieve and be successful in. Yet they blame their uplines/the business/the company/Steven Yeam (I can't stop myself from laughing here) for their failure to make use of the opportunity presented to them. May I ask then who's the real liar?
While I cannot deny it is a human trait to naturally find a scapegoat for anything that goes wrong, I resent people who look at others as the scapegoat instead of themselves.In DCHL's marketing plan, there's no such thing as you losing money in it. Even if you do not manage to make sales after investing, at the very least you get your products as well as (very importantly) the position. So to all the people out there that feel that they got cheated by their uplines, instead of whining and spreading false rumours, why not use those efforts into building up your business again?.
6.In conclusion
As much as I wish to convince you of your huge misconception towards DCHL, I understand you will have many other reasons to believe otherwise.As said at the start of this post, I respect you very much Mr Steven Yip.While I do not expect you to post what I had written as a main blog entry in your blog, at the very least I sincerely and utterly hope you will bring up some of the points I mentioned.While you may still have your doubts and negativity , I do hope that it can be cleared through a proper discussion instead of in a way where neither of both parties stand to benefit.

honestly, would u by the same 40k worth of way overpriced products urself every months? no right? real business sustain due to repeat sales real market priced products..not by recruiting people to be scammed huge amount of money in order to sustain uplines commisions..there will be a point where no more people to be scammed and the company will be left to crumble..n more big commission for u mister, u get my point?
Front loading is an illegal practice whereby a new distributor is required to purchase large volumes of product up front in order to qualify for a pay plan incentive — essentially pushing the distributor to becoming a warehouser of months worth of product which may or may not ever be sold to a customer. There are many variations of the practice, but the key thing to remember is that the practice is illegal and if you see such a requirement in any network marketing opportunity or model that you are evaluating, consider it a very strong red flag.
There are many, many network marketing and home business opportunities in the world. Many walk a fine line in terms of being “legal”, but still effectively continue to front load their new distributors. Realize that not every “legitimate” business opportunity is necessarily a feasible one. And at times, you will come across companies which fall into a grey area where the business is legal by FTA (Federal Trade Association) standards, but nonetheless unethical in business building.
Knowing the truth about an opportunity is the first step towards making an informed decision and preventing yourself from making a costly mistake. Above all, you must understand the concept of front loading and why you must be careful of front loading companies.

Front loading warning signs
Front loading means there is a high entry level cost of inventory to join a network marketing opportunity. How high the entry level or starting investment required for the inventory varies from company to company.
Of course, investing in a lot of inventory or getting your downline to invest in inventory is not wrong per se. The problem is not with the amount of the inventory but how you manage your business with regards to the product.
For example, if you are required to invest $75 to $200 in order to start a business this is considered low entry level. But if you are required to invest $30,000 in product and inventory in order to gain a significant advantage over the $75 entry level, then this is a clear warning sign and you should carefully consider the consequences of the high investment.
Consider how many customers you will need to enroll to consume the inventory you’re buying. How long is it likely to take you to attract that many customers? Can you afford it? Would it require you to cut off an arm or a leg or take personal loans in order to finance your business?
There’s nothing wrong with financing your business, so long as you are able to manage the carrying costs and you have a reasonable plan and timeline in which you expect to recover your investment. If you succeed faster, that’s good. If you fail, then what happens next?
Also ask yourself whether a lower entry cost level implies there is virtually no way for you to succeed in the company as compared to a high entry level? This will partly depend upon your own income goals.
If the company requires every single distributor to front load, then you have to be careful. You must realize that a plan than runs on high volume and very little repeat sales is a company that isn’t likely to be sustainable once they reach the ‘tipping’ point.
By the same token, would you be able to make full use of the products or are you merely investing in the products just to get a higher ‘rank’? You have to be discerning here. Here’s a good litmus test: if the company shuts down next month, is your first instinct the desire to find out where else can you get more of this product, or is it instead how quickly can you get rid of the products in order to cover your investment?
These are important questions to consider but as a general rule of thumb, beware of any companies that require or encourage high front end loading of products and inventory.
