I got my ideas from this forum and found the product later.
All i am saying is do your research on the company you choose to go with or be realistic if you choose to go it alone.
Nothing is free but there are some excellent opportunity's out there. I made a point of staying with a UK company.
I wish ya the best of luck.

Surely it doesn't really matter what it is. There's a bigger point here. Gasman has found something that he can make work using the internet but my guess is he works at it rather than buying it and assuming it will deliver with no effort. Too many people assume every internet based opportunity is some kind of scam.
The internet is full of them but it's important to remember that scams rip everyone off, even the first person who buy them.
The other thing is too many assume you can make money on the internet by doing nothing. Soory but it's just not possible. Too many want a free ride in internet marketing then yell rip off when it doesn't lay it on a plate for them
Good on you gasman for putting that car on your drive from your own efforts0 -

Many thanks Joe for those kind words. :beer:
To the rest of the doubting Thomas's, I wasn't here to promote the so called "dreaded MLM scam." I was sharing my success. Lets face it we are all on this website to save or make money in anyway we can. We are unable to post anything to do with lottery because they have been posted as scams within the forums.
Sadly though, if any of you actually knew about the above mentioned company you would know the lengths they has gone to stay on the right side of the law.
First of all they are a member of the "Lotteries council". Set up by the government they are responsible for endorsing legal lotteries/raffles. So the next time you buy a raffle ticket for your local village fete then please remember you comply with the "Lotteries council". All the members of the "Lotteries Council" are volunteers and work for free mainly through their experience of putting gaming laws into practise. The secretary of the "lotteries council" is now a working member of the Above mentioned company and therefore it enables us to be on the right side of the law and stay their. This therefore blows the "SCAM" idea out of the water.
Secondly, we are now also a member of "Habeas"... Habeas is a company who monitor the performance of a companies email system. They do not allow spam of any kind and the company above adhere to this 100%...
I am not here to change your minds about MlM or this company, but i can speak from experience... Mainly because i have actually tried it!
There have been hundreds of scams out there, but i have to say that this UK based company are striving forward to prove everyone wrong and that there is a product that the majority of people want with a massive increase in chance of winning and great commission returns. Yes i have to work at it, but i am now utilising my last 10 months knowledge of this product into helping charities/sports teams and clubs to aid with their funding. Not all MlM is bad and I feel sorry for those of you who have their fingers burnt. I can also appreciate many of you want to reply to this and slate what "Ordinary Joe and I" have to say, but please do your research first and use your own mind to judge and not chinese whispers..
Ordinary Joe's post above makes alot of sense... And i am sure if you were part of something like this and it paid your mortgage/car every month you would be happy too.
Congrats to the person who found my link... :T0 -

My second income started through my hobby. I still have a full time job but do the other stuff in the evenings. I sell through ebay and have a website which is cheap and cheerful and from a slow start I'm now making anywhere between £50 - £250 a month.
If you have any interests/ hobbies start there as other people have said. That way you won't necessarily feel like your working and you won't mind putting in the effort if you enjoy it.0 -
Hi I work for Virgin Cosmetics on a self employed basis and have a 4 month old baby girl. It fits on really well because I only work when I can/want to/husband is at home. I get a great commission and lots of freebies too. Don't get me wrong it's not easy and I did get off to a bad start but I had loads of help from my manager and now have a great business and the sky really is the limit if you are prepared to put the work in.
If you want more info then please feel free to get in touch.
I love my nursing necklaces. Keep babies hands occupied and you free to breastfeed in peace.0 -
I do something similar to Rocky67 but with kids books - the added benefit is my two come to work with me - there's lots of similar direct selling things about now and she is right - so long as you're willing to put some effort in, then the money can be really good.
Good luck finding what works for you!Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no. 002 :rotfl:0
