Just wanted to post an update on my previous post about QuestNet. Here are a couple of links to interesting websites related to the company:

1. Qpportunity a.k.a. QuestNet’s online magazine, where you can get official news and announcements, product reviews, personal development tips, etc. Mr. Vijay Eswaran also shares his gems of wisdom there in the form of Thought Of The Day.

2. QuestNet Blog is an unofficial blog that provides updates and tidbits related to QuestNet, including YouTube videos and blog articles posted by others.

3. QuestNet Twitter is a frequently updated microblog for your daily fix about all things QuestNet.

4. QuestNet Scam is a website that present the facts so readers can decide for themselves if all the allegations about QuestNet is true or not. It openly talks about the issues in India and the problem all MLM companies face among others.

Long-time bookstore chain, Popular, has finally jumped onto the Internet bandwagon in Singapore with 2 new websites - eduPOP, an e-learning website, and Epopular, an education community.

eduPOP is targeted at Singapore’s primary and secondary school students. The site mainly provides self-assessments papers and online learning programs, both of which are compliant with MOE’s syllabus. These programs allow students to learn at their own pace at home, while at the same time, allow parents to track their children’s performance – a boon in the current H1N1 pandemic.

Epopular on the other hand is more comprehensive because it’s targeted at the Singapore parents and educators as well. The EduBuzz and Family Focus areas dispense tips and cover key issues, from preschool education to managing money and health.

The Shopping Mall list various deals and coupons available from Popular and 3rd party vendors. What we found most useful was the education directory, which allows a person to search for all things related to education in Singapore, e.g. tuition classes.

Lasik Surgery Singapore provides detailed information about the Lasik surgical procedure and also the potential risks. There is also some local information, specifically the costs of doing Lasik and a directory of Lasik clinics in Singapore.

Lasik is relatively new, having been conceived only in the 1950s. However, the thought of ditching the cumbersome glasses and contact lenses made people rush to the clinics to consult their favourite opthalmologist.

The situation in Singapore is no different. Infact, it was worse because surgeons were advertising heavily about this latest “miracle cure” and even offered discounts if you did both eyes together. Things were so heated that the Ministry of Health had to intervene with stricter rules for advertising.

Hence, the objective of LasikSurgery.sg is to educate the public so that they can make in informed decision. We particularly like the Lasik Costs page because it shows a summarized table of the costs between the different methods (e.g. Wavefront, Epi-Lasik and IntraLase) and clinics in Singapore.

The Lasik Surgeon directory is also convenient in case you want to consult different medical doctors before deciding on who to engage.

Zapper is primarily a payroll processor for companies in Asia. It has a local presence in several countries in the region and is headquartered in Suntec City, Singapore. Established in 1986, the company has served over 1,800 clients including MNCs like Citibank, IBM, DHL, Nike and Shangri-la.

Zapper’s core product is their payroll outsourcing services, which helps companies substantially reduce business costs.

Zapper also provides a comprehensive online hr software called PaySonnel CE. The system is developed in-house and has been refined over the years to contain modules like payroll processing. The software is also localized for the various countries in the region and hence, guaranteed to be compliant with local laws.

QuestNet is a relatively successful MLM company that has been around since 1998. The company currently has presence in 160 countries and 3 million customers, who are also members, worldwide. What sets it apart from traditional MLM companies like Amway and Lampe Berger is its innovative use of e-commerce.

QuestNet carries an extensive range of products, from holiday memberships to telecom products to jewellery and collectible coins. These products are only sold online and requires a referrer id before you can make a purchase.

Members (also known as Independant Representatives) have a QuestNet Customer Information page that they can login to conveniently view their account information, including tracking their earnings.

Not suprisingly, the company has its fair share of detractors due to the nature of its business. MLM companies are known to have a problem controlling the conduct of their members, especially the ones who mislead prospects in order to quickly expand their downline. If you have such doubts, you’re advised to visit QuestNet Scam so that you can make an informed decision.

Happy New Year 2009
