Hi K.---Yes, there are jobs/businesses that don't require huge start up fees. Pyramid schemes are illegal. Many home based businesses are a form of network marketing. It seems that you may have had a less than positive experience with one in the past?
What are your interests? That may help determine the direction you want to go. Are you interested in health and wellness education? Disease prevention? Taking control of your health and genetic outcomes? If so, I would love to share with you what I do.
I am an independent distributor with a company that markets a research based whole food supplement. The main focus of our activity is health education, based on the hundreds of doctors that advocate diet as disease prevention. We also have support from mainstream media which increasingly tells us that our diet is the most important factor in regards to our health.
Our focus is on our product. If you want to help others, then inevitably you will attract others that want to do the same. That is where you build a team of like minded people who are also concerned with prevention and helping others, if you want to. Again, no requirements to do so. Our business model combines the best of several others, among them network marketing, franchises and even components of corporate compensation. The company is 40 years old, has always been involved with 'health', is debt free and has experienced double digit growth for the past 12 years. Depending on what you are willing to do, we could have you earning a minimum of $500 a month within 6 months. Would that help your family's budget?
I'm not sure if I've shared how unique that we are. In fact, this is not how we usually introduce our business. 85% of our product goes to customers only...you don't have to, nor will you be pressured to sign up to get the product. That means that most distributors come from satisfied customers. It is a relationship business...direct sales...just like you recommending a restaurant or movie and then getting paid for it. But since you asked, and since I am wanting to find others help me share the gift of health, I thought I'd throw it out there. Let me know if you would like to investigate my website, and I'd be happy to share that with you.
Looking forward to talking to you. D. ###-###-####
