>> The first thing to consider is "how would you market

>> reason for any one to drill down 35 pages on a google search just to find
>> your page.Offline of course. In local free print ads and business cards, flyers posted on bulletin boards in local post offices, restaurants and other business establishments. I havent a clue on creating a webpage (html dummy) or even getting it ranked well, perhaps someday if I become ill for a week or two and have the time to learn it all at once. I know the commonality of this industry will force me to find a niche and I already have come up with three different target markets.
>> Their math doesn't quite add up. In one section they say you get $10
>> if someone signs up for $25; in another they say you get $25 from a signup
>> (and show you making a lot more money).What you saw where calculations for level one personal sales. ($25 product yields $10 - $50 product yields $15 - $100 product yields $25) You noticed that a $100 dollar sale yielded $25 and that if it were multiplied by 100 customer sales it would yield $1250 in income.
>> How would you find 100 people to sign up and use $100 of service each
>> month... and stick with it? And where would you find four other people to
>> sign up as a downline?How I would find them is one at a time, how fast they use there $100 doesnt concern me what concerns me is that they get a good product at a great price and that they like what they are getting. So that they may continue repurchasing the product.
>> If you don't have a clear idea, then you might want to consider
>> something else.I thank you for asking, I was just asking in my origional post; Is this opportunity a scam? Is it good or bad?
What does it seem like to you?

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
