It can be summed up in three words:

Run from MLM

MLMs are like miniature Sam's Clubs, but they focus more on selling memberships than products. Imagine a big box store like Sam's Club, being filled with three or four products, but hundred's of employees getting paid to sign people up to join. Once you pay the fee, you get to join the other employees in selling memberships to join the club. ("Oh, yeah, BTW, there is some chocolate in the back of the building, which you can buy, and the store will even give you a token commission if you can sell some, but the real money is up front, here, signing up new members. Isn't this great?")

I went to Sam's Club today. Great price on spare ribs:D. If you smell the smoke tomorrow, paddle over.

Like one needs to read a website to understand the value , or should I say costs, of MLMs. lol

Sure ... why are there so many people sucked into them? They have a slick mesage with little emphasis on the FACTS; because the facts do not support the system. FACT: 98% of people who make the investment in MLM lose money. They won't tell you that in their pitch.

Message to the fellow Techies..Nerds..ect

I've been reading about another way that some folks make a bit of extra cash online. Blogging, Buying and Selling domain names and things along those lines. Anyone ever done it or doing it now? Thanks again!

Buying and selling domain names is pretty much a dead idea. All the good ones are taken and unless a new buzz word comes along you're pretty much not going to make any money at it.

Just got back from a conference about blogging and podcasts. Very few people there were making a living at it. The ones that were, were selling something that's universally appealing. Mainly sex, I got to meet the team from Midwest Teen Sex Show. Again, huge following and millions of hits, but they are making the salary of a waitress at a chain restaurant.

If your typing skills are good you can always try a dictation or transciption service.

Good luck.

Could it be one of those thinly disguised Multilevel Marketing Scams? What's the name of this "opportunity?"

Has anyone tried the weight loss patch? They are a popular weight loss ad in the Dothan area....Dr. Ken's weight loss patch......Some people are swearing by it. Just wondered if anyone had tried it?

Does it make you eat better/less and exercise more?

If not, I'd say save the $ and damage to your body!

Most of those products not only don't work, they can cause permanent damage.

The only "patch" I would use would be duct tape. Apply to the fridge, cabinets, and mouth. The only thing that will be successful is proper nutrition, calorie control and exercise. Use more than you take in and make sure what you take in is healthy.

When you've lost all that weight on what ever patch that is, give me a call, and I'll sell you some future beach property in Nevada.

It's nothing more than herbs much like Enzyte!

Maybe that's how one would lose the weight...:roll:

I was on Metabolife once, with good results. Followed the label directions - two in the morning, two before lunch, one in the late afternoon. Hop out of bed in the morning, wildly productive at work, supermom in the evenings, weight melting off.

And then I went to the doctor, pleased with myself. They were pleased too, until they took my blood pressure. :eek: Can you say BUSTED? :(

Not only is this a bunk product, it will almost certainly get you sucked into a multilevel marketing mess.

beachgrl, I know that this is not what you asked, but here goes. About two months ago, I finally got serious about my diet, read a few books (I recommend "Death by Supermarket" available on Amazon.com) and decided to make a change. Long story short, I only eat "real" food now. Very little sugar, no processed junk, no soy (it's not the health food they would have you believe), only organic dairy, and organic meat when possible. More vegetables, fruits and nuts. Yes, it's an adjustment, but that's mainly because our entire food system is geared toward manufactured crap. Fortunately stores like Publix and Fresh Market have decent organic offerings at fairly reasonable prices. And here's the best part. Once you no longer eat that stuff, your cravings for it disappear. I was the biggest sugar junkie in the world. I still eat chocolate, but now it's the 85% cocoa stuff, maybe one or two squares a day. And I've lost 15 pounds so far, fairly effortlessly I would say. And I feel so much better. Please don't settle for thin and unwell, when you can be thin and healthy. Not only will you look better, you will be investing in your future health by considerably reducing your odds of many preventable diseases.
