In this blog post, we’re going to give an honest, detailed review about I AM Worldwide. We’ll take a detailed look at the business, its products, services, marketing plan, as well as discuss tips to succeed in this networking business.
Whether you’re an existing member of I AM Worldwide or you’ve heard it from a friend and what to investigate it further before joining, this 100% unbiased review is written just for you. Note that I am not a member or distributor of this company. So this review is based on pure research.
So let’s quickly jump in to our I AM Worldwide Review below:
What Is I AM Worldwide Philippines?
I AM WORLDWIDE Philippines is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company founded in 2016. The company is known for offering a range of health and wellness products, beauty and skincare items, and nutritional supplements. Its goal is to promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle through their product offerings.
I AM WORLDWIDE Philippines operates on a direct selling model, where individuals can become distributors and earn commissions by selling the products and recruiting new distributors.
The company emphasizes empowering individuals to achieve financial independence and improve their well-being through its product line and business opportunities.
Sounds good? Not so fast. Let’s take a closer look at their products or services:
I AM Worldwide Products and Services
As mentioned, I AM WORLDWIDE Philippines offers health, beauty, and nutritional products. They aim to promote a healthy lifestyle and financial opportunities through their range of items like skincare, supplements, and wellness products.
Upon viewing their website, it seems that their main line of products fall into four (4) categories): Barley, Delicious Juice Drinks, Food Supplements, and Healthy Coffee.
Barley Products
Barley products are really in-demand recently due to many people discovering their myriad benefits. I AM Worldwide has many forms of barley products. They have:
- Pure Barley Drink
- Pure Barley Capsules
- Choco Barley Drinks
- Black Coffee With Barley
The price of their barley products range from Php 500 to Php 1,700 (depends on what specific item you choose). But if you are a member or distributor, you get huge discounts of up to 50%. This gives you sufficient margin to either use the product for the long term, or resell it to non-members at a higher SRP.
Nutritional Juice Drinks
Just like in usual MLMs or network marketing businesses, nutritional juices never cease to run out of style. That is the case with I AM Worldwide. They also have celebrity endorsers, like Heart Evangelista, Manny Pacquiao, and Maritoni Fernandez, for example.
They have juices that contain Acai Berry extract and collagen. They also have grape juice that contains Garcinia Cambogia (a substance that’s known to reduce hunger pangs and help you lose weight, so they say).
The SRP for these products range from Php 900 to Php 1,400. Again, if you personally use these products, you’ll save some money as a distributor (or let a friend or spouse be a distributor).
Food Supplements
Their food supplements fall into two categories: energy booster and glutathione. That’s as straightforward as it can get.
Frankly, I don’t see how buying a food supplement that contains Vit C and Moringa is anything special. You can easily get that from sipping a full bowl of Malunggay soup, and a dash of orange. 🙂 Or you can drink Centrum. You can potentially save more money.
When it comes to Glutathione, one bottle from I AM Worldwide costs Php 2,950. Their endorser is Jung Hu Yeon, which from what I gather, is a popular celebrity? Not sure. But still, the SRP might be a bit pricey. I’m not really into the Gluta industry, so you make the decision on whether that’s worth spending or not.
Nutritional Coffee
Ah, coffee. The main staple of MLM companies! I AM Worldwide doesn’t beg to differ in this aspect. They have coffee mixed with Barley, coffee with Tongkat Ali, and coffee with Glutathione.
Personally, I’d rather have 3-in-1 coffee or an occasional Starbucks. But again, there are people who want to drink their coffee with some added side (health) benefits. And there’s a huge market for that.
My First Impression About I AM Worldwide Products
I think their products have wide market appeal. They jumped into the most popular health products that people are already buying, and so they fall under the category of MLMs who want to be a bit on the “trendy” side.
When it comes to the price, I find their ranges a bit pricey. But that is the case for most network marketing companies. The SRP is usually priced higher so that distributors have a higher margin of profit. Also, the high price gives you an added motivation to SIGN UP to the business and get “discounts” as a member.
That’s not basically a bad thing. But I just thought you should know!
Even though I AM Worldwide products are sort of recognized by average Joe in the Philippines, it doesn’t mean you won’t have a hard time selling them. Selling is HARD. So if you join this business thinking that you’ll easily sell, think twice. Focus first on learning MLM sales and marketing techniques if you really want to succeed.
If you’re more interested in the business opportunity and how to earn money from I AM Worldwide, then pay close attention to the following info:
I AM Worldwide Philippines Networking Compensation Plan
First, to join this company, you need to buy a membership package, which I understand already contains some products and basic membership kit.
And mind you, the entry fees range from as low as Php 5,600 to a whooping Php 198,000 pesos. There are 6 packages to choose from, which caters to your budget or business readiness.
As for the pay plan, here’s a recent one I found on Youtube which explains it. Take note that the vlogger is a member of I AM Worldwide, so feel free to skip the usual bias towards the company if you’re looking for an objective review.
You may watch this video or skim through it, and then I’ll explain it further below for my honest take:
Before I delve into the compensation plan, let me just say that I AM WORLDWIDE is guilty of my #1 pet peeve in network marketing. What is it? Well, they flex all their top earners and show lots of income proof of their “MVPs” or top performers to attract their potential business partners.
I personally think that gives ordinary people a false sense of expectation because they feel that those top earners results are the NORM. No, there’s a lot of hardwork and time that goes into building any business. So skip the hype about the 1 million peso checks, brand new house and lot, and brand new car.
My advice is to instantly find out what kind of GRIND is required to make your first 1,000 pesos in any biz.
That being said, here are the various ways to earn in I AM Worldwide:
Retail
You can earn money by reselling their products as a member. For example, their barley powder product is 1,000 pesos. You avail it for 500 pesos as a member. You resell it at SRP of 1,000, so you earn a 500 pesos profit.
12 Other Ways To Earn Aside From Retail
If you want to earn beyond retailing or reselling the products, you need to start building a downline. Yes, you need to recruit other distributors, who will in turn sell the products and also recruit other distributors who will do the same. Big surprise! 🙂
We don’t have enough time to discuss each way to earn, so here’s a snapshot instead:
So as you can see, majority of the ways to earn here is dependent on your ability to 1) sell the products, or 2) recruit people to the opportunity. And that’s the bottomline.
Is that bad? Of course not. But you need to know this when you join a networking business!
That’s why I’m an advocate of teaching marketing and sales skills to network marketers. You can’t build a business through hype. You can’t make money just having a watery mouth from viewing all the top earners in a company and the houses they bought. Skip the hype!
Go straight to learning how to market yourself, your products and your opportunity. And when you do that, it doesn’t matter what business you promote, You WILL make money.
Tips and Strategies To Succeed in I AM Worldwide Philippines
This company tells you in their business presentation that they have “world class trainings” when you join. That’s good and all. But when it comes to MLM, never just rely on the trainings that are sponsored by the company you are a member of.
Usually these trainings will say:
“Hindi ka magbebenta. Magshshare ka lang”
“List 100 people. Kakilala at kamag anak. Invite mo sila isa isa.”
That is the culture in MLM, and I AM Worldwide is part of that culture as far as I can see.
It’s not true that you don’t need to sell. You DO. In fact, if you go out and talk to 100 people, you’d be lucky to get around 5-10 sales, and that is if you’re good at selling. How much more difficult it is for people who don’t have sales skills, right?
My point is, it’s possible to make money in I AM Worldwide or any network marketing company. But never enter the business with the mindset that everything will be a bed of roses.
You need marketing/sales skills, people skills, and a whole of personal resolve, discipline and motivation, if you want to succeed.
