Twenty Years to Pay Dirt in the MLM Business. This stay-at-home mom has never given up.  Can you imagine showing up to work every single day for twenty years and never earning a real paycheck? Well that’s been the story of self-employed networker Pam McCray.

Zhulian Myanmar Operations To Kick off Next Month

 
Malaysia-based multi-level marketing firm, Zhulian Corporation Bhd, is set to begin its Myanmar operations next month, Malaysian media reported.

Teoh Meng Keat said Myanmar is touted as the new frontier market amongst emerging countries in terms of the consumer segment and has appointed a local master agent to oversee the business there.
He said due to local laws limiting company ownership, the group will export its products directly to the master agent, who will then sell it to locals.
