Josh,
Why not consider starting your own business instead of an MLM. As you know, you’ll never be truly wealthy and have as much freedom as when you start your own business.
The Easiest is the new ‘amway’ something star is the name. You buy products from yourself and pocket the difference. If you can get others to buy from you you’ll earn a profit.
I would think getting into SMC would be alright, its like $300 to start but you can get all kinds of neat stuff at wholesale price for resale.. once you find a good product thats easy for you to move, go on ebay and have a blast.
I am a FULL TIME Network Marketer. 7 months ago I started Part-Time and graduated to full time a few months ago.
I like my new boss
I am in a Travel Based MLM. -No Inventory and no minimum sales quotas.
We have very good tools that enable us to be successfull. I wish I had seen your post a little earlier as we had one of our three weekly conference calls you could have listened in on.
We are a new (Launched December 10,2005) start-up travel company (I joined in the pre-launch in November) and I have been with the company since day one.
In the short time we have been in business we are THE fastest growing travel company in the USA. Also it only took us 6 months to become the #5 regional vendor for Carnival Cruise Lines. That number is still climbing.
Why consider a Home Based Business in the Travel industry?
Travel is the worlds largest industry at 6 Trillion dollars spent annually. Experts expect it to double by 2010, because there is a Baby Boomer retiring every 8 seconds (10,800 every day) and will continue to do so for the next 18 years.
Here is a quote from CNN that might put into perspective just how large this industry is.
” Travel is the single largest category of e-commerce, accounting for 43% of ALL online spending” - Dan Hess, CNN Money
If that didn’t grab your attention I don’t know what will.
There are also many great perks that come along with being in the industry. Referring Travel Agent credentials where you can travel for deeply discounted prices the average traveler doesn’t get. Discounts on Air,Hotel,Car, Cruises.
I have used my credentials MANY times and have saved roughly $700 so far this year.
If you are interested in joining the fastest growing company in the worlds largest industry let me know. I would be happy to anwer any questions you may have.
Hi Josh, go to and then call 800-679-7042 extension 5801 and listen to a short overview call. If your still interested, call me at 336-749-7648 or 800-640-5938 This is a travel business that instead of selling a vacation of a lifetime you will be marketing a lifetime of vacations! You earn quickly, I earned commissions of $6,400 my first week, while still in training! Your success only depends on you not the others in your organization in this opportunity, but we do have a great support team. Success to you! ColleenB
Have you ever thought about going into business for yourself?
Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind…what’s your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?
By researching the prospect of starting your own business — what it entails, what you need to know, helpful hints, etc — you’ll feel better prepared to take that plunge.

Compared to offline businesses, the investment required to start an online business is minimal. A popular way of earning money on the internet is by providing information and services.

The best home business will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs.

6. Learn from the successes of others
7. Learn from the failures of others
8. Plan your own success
9. Make low cost mistakes
10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it

Scott…
The Easiest is the new ‘amway’ something star is the name. You buy products from yourself and pocket the difference. If you can get others to buy from you you’ll earn a profit.
You can start an SMC business. Buying discounted new items and selling them for 2 to 4 times as much as what you bought it.
if that link doesn’t work do a yahoo search.
I would think getting into SMC would be alright, its like $300 to start but you can get all kinds of neat stuff at wholesale price for resale.. once you find a good product thats easy for you to move, go on ebay and have a blast.
Try Passion Parties!!We have a promotion right now!Great $$$ and work for yourself,40% commision.
