Is Be International a Scam? It’s a Legit Malaysian MLM Company

Be International has no relation to the Islam brother’s Be Rules. This is an independent MLM company based out in Malaysia and specializes in health and wellness. 

The company was founded in 2017 by Lee Suet Sen, Ho Huey Chuin, and Karen Leong. The bios of their founder are vague and they don’t really delve into their MLM histories. 

Google shows that the three people made their careers back when they were promoting Elken Global. This company was founded back in 1995 and started to decline before Be International was launched. 

Elken Global collapsed and was acquired by ByDyzne, a multi-product MLM we reviewed not too long ago. 

Be International Product Line

Be International outlines four different product categories for their income opportunity. 

1. Belixz - nutritional supplements and weight loss
2. Aulora - clothing and personal care
3. Beyul - fermented soy bean paste-based personal care products
4. Beyang - laundry detergent and coffee

Does The Product Work?

Be International focuses on personal care products more than anything else. One thing that caught our attention was their clothing line. 

Their tags carry a “manufactured in Japan” label on their clothing, but we don’t think these were really manufactured there. 

It looks like one of those unbranded compression wear that you see in street markets, so nothing really going on here. 

On the health and wellness products side of things, they make some absurd medical claims, but could be easily blamed on the translation side of things. Either way, be wary of companies who make unfounded claims about their products. 

When we say unfounded claims, we mean those claims that have not been verified by any health agency (e.g. in the USA, it would be the FDA who’s in charge of testing products). 

In any case, we can’t find any positive or negative feedback about their products, so we assume that people have found it to be okay in terms of use, or people weren’t bothered at all to write something basic about the products.

Be International offers two ways to make money: 

1. Recruitment commissions
2. Retail commissions

How To Get Started with Be International?

It costs you RM 60 (Malaysian Ringgit) or $0.24 to become a member of Be International. Membership is available in Singapore, Brunei, Hong Kong, and Indonesia in their local currencies.

Retail Commissions

Be International pays out retail commissions. You get wholesale pricing when you’re a member of Be International, and earn a profit when you sell these products based on MSRP. 

Residual Commissions

Be International pays out residual commissions following a unilevel compensation structure. This structure places you at the top of the team, with your direct recruits placed under you. 

Their recruits are placed under them, and goes on until you build up to six levels of a team. 

You earn commissions on these six levels when you’re ranked Ambassador or higher: 

Be International pays residual commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.

Note that Be International restricts residual commissions to Ambassadors and higher ranked members.

Be International pays residual commissions on up to nine unilevel team levels.

#1 Heavy On Recruitment

The income opportunity is reliant on recruitment, but not so much as to flag it as a pyramid scheme. You’re not going to be making a lot of money on the retail side of things, so that’s why you have to pad it with some recruitment. 

#2 Low Income Potential

Be International’s income potential is low. You’re lucky to sell a few products here and there, but you need to be recruiting a lot of people to make it worth your while. 

As it stands, you’re not going to be making a full-time income here.

#3 Competitive Industry

Health and wellness in the MLM industry is an oversaturated niche. You’re competing against big-named brands such as Herbalife, as well as the commercial brands. 

This also affects their income potential because people are more likely to buy these more popular brands as opposed to just buying products from random MLM companies.

There’s nothing really special about Be International. It’s just as common as the new MLM companies.

Be International is not a scam. It’s a legitimate MLM company coming from Malaysia and has spread out through different Southeast Asian countries. 

There’s nothing really special with this MLM company. The income potential is low, and it’s hard to compete in the health and wellness space in the MLM industry.

I'm not a fan of MLM, not because it's illegal or not profitable, but because of all the restrictions and the expensive costs involved.

Instead, Affiliate Marketing is my top recommended business model for anyone to make money online.

The reason is simple...

• You don't have to recruit anyone to make money
• You have the freedom to promote any products you want and not being restricted to only promote the products from one MLM company
• It's Free to get started

In fact, with affiliate marketing...
