I heard about "Income at home" from some radio advertisements on talk radio. It was endorsed by several different radio personalities (Dr Joy Brown and Glen Beck among others) and it is rated A- by the BBB which is the highest rating that this type of business can get. The decision pack cost 49.95, but you can receive it for only 9.95 and they clearly inform you that you have 15 days to decide and will not be charged the additional 39 dollars if you return the package...they even send you instructions on how to do that.
There are two ways to do this business. 1. Where you contact people you know, or by advertising in the news, fliers, and by setting up weight loss challenges (among other ways). This way costs less than $80 to get started, with some products to try. 2. The second way to do this business is online. This costs currently $399 in the USA plus $49/mo for hosting a site. In Canada the cost is about 30 dollars more. For this price you get a site with a professional business office, a training coach, a training book, carry bag and products to try out, a month's worth.
I did sign up with this about 3 weeks ago. The coach calls you every day or 2 initially to make sure you know how to get started. The online site has a day by day training, or learning modules, like you would get in a college learning lab. You get included a free 800 number, e-mail, an appointment calendar with reminder service. The learning is intense at first but basically they teach you how to get around in your site, how to advertise or buy leads, so you are only presenting this business to people who have expressed an interest. I was very impressed with this learning system. You also get several sites to advertise online.
I have been involved with other network marketing systems. This system makes it easy to make contacts and you never have to leave your house to do it. To do it online, it helps if you have some computer literacy, but you can learn this at your own pace over time. There just are a lot of features to the site and it is like starting a new job, except it is not a job, it is your business, and has great growth potential. The cost of the site is exceptionally low. As far as sites go, you get a big bang for your money.
Because this is a Network marketing system, many people have to network to build their businesses. It is not your local hardware store. For this reason, it is hard to present consistency as far as a public image is concerned. You have to advertise to grow this business, but many curiosity seekers are looking for easy money and become disgruntled with paying 9.95 for a pack of info with a cd and dvd. The pack is clearly advertised for 49.95, but they hold off charging you the rest for 15 days, until you have had time to review the material and to return the pack.
In network marketing you are dealing with many personalities. That is both an asset to the business and a deficit. You get a different response depending on the contact you make and how much knowledge they have about it. You also get many curiosity seekers who think they should make a fortune just by sending away for a 9.95 decision package and think they can keep it without having to pay the full price and not returning it. There are always lots of complaints on the internet about companies like these. These are usually by people who have no realistic idea about how much it takes to start your own business, both monetarily and in time put into it.
This is a real business opportunity and yes I have already made some (a few hundred), but it does take time to learn and build. My coach was able to leave his FT job in 5 months and was making a few thousand a month at that time, now about 60K /yr after 3 years. Others are making more or less. It just depends on if you take it seriously and how much time you put into it.
