I have read these reply's for the last 45 minutes. I have to say how
disappointed I am. I did not join this group to recruit. I don't care
if you removed my link for potential benefit of personal hits. I
don't think that after reading any of these replies that anyone would
even think about joining a MLM program. My intention was to seek
advice, so far I have found none. I have found bitter individuals
that I have empathy for. I have made money at this and I am sure that
there is someone on this site that has done the same. I did read the
rules of this group before joining this site. I have not broken any!
I am not here to recruit. I am here for the reason I stated before. I
am green and was wanting advice on how to make the most of what I am
in. I do feel sorry that you have not had the best experience with
MLM. Some of the replies almost sound suicidal. As I stated before
this is my first rodeo with this I have invested 195.00 to start. I
received 210.00 worth of suckers to sell and give away. I
automatically made by day 3 172.00 back just selling them. I
recruited two people who have done the same. I am getting matching,
volume pay (that doesn't flush) and fast start pay. I have invested
maybe 5 hours per week in the last 5 1/2 weeks. I have gotten 3
checks for the amount of 48.00, 159.00, and 266.00 the last 3 weeks.
I have used maybe 20.00 of my stock. I do reorder suckers as I run
out. So far I haven't! I wanted to see how it was going to go before
I stocked myself. I hope this has provided enough information to
answer ther questions you had. Because I don't remember asking you
anything about money. I asked how do I become sucessful at MLM's and
some of the no no's to this business.
I am green. I will accept advice that is realistic. I just thought
that out of all the members on this board there was someone already
in, or out of Fun Unlimited that would comment. That was part of my
original question. I am sure there is someone that can answer this.
