Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is IMG a networking company

IMG is not a networking company. Yes, IMG associates invite people to become a member but they do not earn any commission when the invitee joined IMG.

So why do the associates keep on inviting other people to join IMG? First, to promote financial literacy. The IMG members have a mission to spread financial literacy or to educate other Filipinos on how to manage money properly.

Q. What are the benefits of IMG members

In general and for simplicity, let us categorize the benefits into three:

1.) Financial education

Once you become an IMG member, you can attend the training, seminars, and workshop on a regular schedule. You will be introduced to different financial concepts like the X-Curve concept, the Power of 72, the right way of saving money, and many more.

As long as you are willing to learn, you can gain many pieces of information. You just need to give yourself a time to attend.

Financial literacy is not just for the wealthy – it’s for everyone.

2.) Access to financial products

You can easily apply the financial concepts that you learned. Remember that having the right information is not enough you need to apply it also. You don’t need to go to other companies since you have direct access to different financial products. From insurances to investments, and many more.

Q. Do I need to recruit other people to join in IMG

No, you are not required to recruit other people. If your main goal is just to increase your financial literacy, then it’s okay. But, if you want to do the business side, you may need it in order to grow your team. Again, let’s make it clear that when members able to recruit someone, they do not earn commissions when they signed-up. You only earn if you were able to sell a financial product. Moreover, there is no quota in IMG.

Let us dismiss also the negative impression of “recruitment”. In every company in order to grow, it needs to recruit people. In your company, there is a Department of Human Resources (HR) which deals with hiring employees. Every company is doing it. In short, there is nothing wrong with recruiting people as long as your intention is good.

Q. If I will join in IMG do I need to avail also an insurance product

No, you don’t need to buy insurance products. However, availing one is a good decision since these financial products can help you in achieving financial security. If you want also to become a financial educator (business), you may also need it so that you can testify to other people why you buy the product.

Q. If I want to avail the financial products, do I need to become a member

No, you do not need to become a member if you want to avail of financial products except for mutual funds. You only need to consult it with an IMG member.

Q. How much is the membership fee

To become an IMG member, you need to pay Php 5,500 only if you are based here in the Philippines. The Php 1,000 will be automatically invested in a mutual fund. Be informed that membership fee varies depending on where you are located. You can initially check how much the membership fee here. If you are asked to input an agent code, you can temporarily input my agent code which is 8639LF.

It is a lifetime-one-time membership. Meaning it will not expire and you only need to pay once. But there is a yearly membership renewal of Php 1,500.

You might be asking also why does the membership fee is more costly abroad? Because you will be provided a visa card for your earnings. Unlike if you are based in the Philippines that it is through check. It is also for convenience since check, if unclaimed within 6 months, will expire. Another reason is for operating expenses and serves also as a fund in order to build a financial center abroad.

Q. How much do I earn in IMG

How much you will earn depends solely on yourself. If you will work really hard you can be promoted within a short period of time even surpassing your sponsor (the one who invited you). What’s good about IMG is that there is no limit on how much you can earn. You can even outperform your sponsor whether in earnings or in position or both. A thorough explanation will be discussed to you on how much is your potential income as well as the different ways on how you can earn.

Yes, it is true that there are many available materials than can be accessed online and it’s free. However, there are many other benefits that can be advantageous to you. Besides, you can meet people from all walks of life – professionals, students, parents and many more.

Learning can be fun also. And making new friends especially with common interests and that can help you to become financially responsible is a plus!
