I have tried read emails for pay a few years ago when my hubby was unemployed. Not by his choice. And used our last bit of savings to do so and realized to late it was a scam. And last July paid 10.00 USD to start working for Avon and now i owe them money. NOw i saw a website here on members perks that sounds interesting but i can't afford to do it. Any help would be grateful thank you. Have a nice day.

What can I do next?

My name is S. A, and while I know that you have done the Avon route, I was wanting to suggest to you Mary Kay. I stared my business seven months ago and love it!! I was working full time and missing my boys, but I couldn't leave my job due to the fact that I was the bread maker in the family. Well Mary Kay has given me a new direction it life. I can make the money that I want to make plus due it all from home. Let me know if you are interested and I will be glad to get you some more information. ____@____.com

First I would like to say You should never ever have to invest in a JOB, however if you are wanting to start a successful business where you can earn long term residual income then there is an initial investment. If it says get in FREE it's a lIE. and to be honest you WON"T make any money. I have been in the industry for many years. I failed the first several years because the first company I was involved with was missing all of the 5 Critical elements that must be in place to insure the success of their distributors.
Timing, Solid corporate infrastructure, quality product or service, Lucrative compensation plan, and an effective training system.
If the company you are looking into is missing even ONE of these 5 then it won't work.
When I got started with Vitamark we were BROKE. There were several ways for me to start my business...Start at the basic level and work my way up or get started at a more serious level where we could earn the biggest profits right away! HMMM! tough call-what I quickly realized was that if I could make money right away then I could recoup my investment, write off the initial investment, and be on my way to profit or even double my money.
Having your own business takes a commitment and if you don't have an initial investment then there is no commitment. You have to be willing to make some commitments and sacrifices if you want to succeed.
Think about this-I got this out of an awesome book I am reading called"The Best Year of Your Life" by Debbie Ford (It is awesome!)
"What would I do if this were the last year of my
life? Would I continue to live each day as I lived
today? Would I be spending my time the way I am right
now?"

Take a moment and ponder the following question: If
you could live this past week over again, would you
choose to live each day exactly as it was, or would
you choose to live any of them differently? Most of
us won't allow ourselves to look at our lives through
this retrospective lense. One day rolls into the next
and most of us will forget today by the time tomorrow
comes unless it is infused with some special significance.

HI, I became an Independent Rep for Noah's Ark Animal Workshop (NAAW). I now have my own Children's Party Business. Please check it out: www.onthegobirthdays.com . You do not have to keep an inventory and when you join you receive your own free website. This way if you did not want to have parties, you can just sell from your website. NAAW offers Traveling Stuff-n-Fluff Workshops/Products and Bella Bee Traveling Glamour Girl Workshops. This a great company and you work as little or as much as you like. You can even market to daycare centers, girl/boy scouts, or even just do fundraisers!

Good luck to you!

Hey C.!

I am a broker with AmeriPlan and I LOVE it! I started about 5 months ago and I am so glad I found it when I did. As brokers with AmeriPlan, we are marketing our discount health benefit plans to those are in need. Our plans save individuals up to 50% in prescription, up to 80% in dental and the list goes on and on. The plans are super affordable ~ starts as low as $19.95 a month for an ENTIRE household and tops out at $59.95 a month. We market these plans in a multitude of different ways – free ads, brochures, FLYERS, networking, etc. You can do this entirely from home, you just need your computer and a phone line. We are not telemarketers ~ we only speak to those who have requested information on our plans. We are paid on commission and then we receive residual income on members who sign up with our benefit plans. We continue to get paid month after month, year after year for the same members we enrolled yesterday! The potential is amazing! As brokers, we are also looking for others who are interested in working from home as well. In both ways that we make money, we are helping others which is such a great feeling!

When I was looking for something to do strictly from home, it was very important to me that I could be passionate about whatever I did. When I found AmeriPlan, I realized I could be passionate about this business because it is such an important part of our everyday lives. Everyone needs healthcare BUT they have to be able to afford it without breaking the bank. This company makes it possible for many who would otherwise have to choose between housing and taking their necessary medication because they just couldn’t afford both.

Feel free to view my website at: www.freedomathometeam.com/40550162 to check out the elite credentials of AmeriPlan and do some research of your own. If it sounds like something you might be interested in, just click on "Request an Interview" and I will give you a call and see if this would be a good fit for you.

Have a blessed day!

I started my own Arbonne business (health/wellness, not just make-up but skin care for all ages that produces results!!) 2 years ago for only $29. You can do this business and choose how much you want to invest. There is no obligation more than paying $29 to be able to get 35% discount and more on everything you order. Best part is that you can create your team around the world right from your home. If you have not been introduced to Arbonne BY A CONSULTANT, I would love to meet with you (in person or via phone/computer) to explain it in more detail. If products that are pure, safe & beneficial are important to you, it may change your life to look a little closer. Are you open to information?

Hi C.,

I know you have probably received alot of advice alreay. I just wanted to let you know that your story is very close to my life story. Sometime ago, I felt the same way as you do. Luckily I found this company called Lia Sophia Jewelry. I couldn't afford to put out a lot for start up costs either.
With this business the start up is very minimal and the profits are fantastic. I love doing this business and even more than that it is my own business. Every thing involved with this business is so simple because lia sophia gives you so much support and training and you can get everyrhing you need right thru their website. Would love to talk to you more about my business to see if it would be right for you.
Please contact me at ____@____.com for more info.

C.,
Have you considered Home Interiors? It has a generous commission plan, low start up (you recive $500 product and all your starting business supplies).
You would be able to set your own hours, and you wouldn't have to worry about Customers not paying for the orders and you get stuck with the bill like in Avon, With Home Interiors you get the payment up front and order the product. If you would like more information feel free to contact me at ____@____.com or you can visit my website at www.homeinteriors.com/jeanierichardson

I have a business that works,IF you follow the system.
It's called an unfranchise, much like a franchise, but without the huge start up costs.
Forget about the AVONS, Arbonnes and Mary Kay's of the direct selling industry, you can actually make money in my business.
I have 3 kids and have had a successful business for 4 years.

First of all, NEVER pay for a work from home job. It you have to invest, it's likely a scam. Do you have any other work experience you can spin off of? Perhaps do some consulting? Working from home is awesome if you find the right gig. Do you ever look on Kansas City's Craig's List. You can find gigs there. Good luck and do NOT pay anyone to employee. It's the other way around.

Hi C.-
I recently read your posting and to be honest, when when I read your posting I feel like that was me talking to a friend of mine a year ago. I am now a SAHM of a 18 month old boy because of the business opportunity and products that were introduced to me, Arbonne International!

Arbonne offers a full range of pure, safe & beneficial products for the entire family. Skin care for baby, weight loss, anti-aging, color & cosmetics, and aromatherapy are just some of the high quality, safe and benefical products that Arbonne manufactures.

The cost to start your own business, only $29!!!! Every year after that, $15.

You are not required to host home parties, maintain sales or incentives in order to receive a 35-80% discount! To shop these products at a discount from your own virtual Arbonne mall at home, give me a call.

This is also an amazing home-based business opportunity with a company that has grown over 150% this year alone. Arbonne is turning heads and you DON'T want to miss out on this chance of a life time to create an unlimited amount of income and live your dreams with your family! It truly is that easy!

Because of Arbonne, I can honestly say that I have become a better wife, mother and friend. I would love the opportunity to speak with you further!

Sincerely,
E. Brown

I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData youdata.com. They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com.

I was skeptical at first, but this is real, we just got paid today. You don't make a whole lot, butI got over $5.00 in my paypal account today. You should check it out.

Click this link to sign up. My MeFile ID, melindaduke, in the "Referral Code" will tell them I sent you.
