The International Marketing Group partnered with the leading financial services companies to provide a wide array of financial products. In other words, IMG does not own any financial products instead it is from the other companies who have been in partnership with IMG.
It gives you a learning opportunity and at the same time an investing opportunity. A learning opportunity since it has a regular schedule of conducting free and unlimited training, seminars, and workshops especially to its members. Why an investing opportunity at the same time?

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.

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.

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.

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).
