Too Good To Be True?

[Wispy68]

I am very tempted to start working for a well known company, which delivers catalogues selling household items. Apparently, you can make big bucks just by getting other people working for the company and you earn money through them (networking!) I've watched the video and read the leaflets and it all looks wonderful!! I'll just need to fork out sixty five pounds for a 'starter kit'. Would you give it a go, or avoid it like the plague?!!

No, I've had several relatives try similar schemes and they usually peter out after a while. It's usually quite difficult to find people to keep the whole line going, sometimes the products are cheaper and more accessible in the shops. Plus you need to look at how much you need to keep flogging to make a profit, current customers will only buy so much so you will constantly be looking for customers. Maybe other people have had more positive experiences but I haven't come across them.

Nicola Jane - Avoid it like the plague. Anything which involves promises of you making money by recruiting others and then taking a cut are statistically doomed. They call it 'networking' but it's usually known as 'pyramid selling' I was sucked in many years ago with a fairly well known American based Company who recruited people with almost evangelical fervour. Never made a penny!!

Alice I too was sucked in by the amERICAN way and guess what I lost quite a lot of money infact they made more money from the seminars than I made from selling. Lesson learnt!
