I think that many moms have abandoned the sensitivities that in times past characterized women and instead have embraced a more hardened approach to making money and doing business that ignores the ethical element. Unfortunately this is a trend that seems to be on the rise. Hopefully those of us that recognize this will counteract this plague to the point we can over come the sludge spreaders

You are so right! I did a brief and desperate stint mystery shopping before I started my business. In fact, I feel a blog entry coming on.

Yea for Kelly! I couldn’t have said that so eloquently.
I never understood how one can sell an opportunity that never sells anything but the opportunity to sell the opportunity. It’s like those chain letters that asks so many people to send a dollar to one person and so on…..
That is NOT even close to resembling a business.

Kelly

you know that I’m 1000% with you on this one! I can’t tell you the number of times we’ve heard these “claims” from potential exhibitors for the WAH expo. THanks for brining it out into the open Kelly!

everything you listed would be considered crud in my opinion, too.

So true, Kelly! I’m with ya girl. I can also say I’ve *almost* fallen for a lot of those scams. It’s a shame that there are moms out there who DO fall for them. All I can say is do your homework and ask a million questions before venturing into anything.

Oh, my word have you hit the nail on the head !!!

The schemes do give legitimate network / direct selling opportunities a bad name. I came so close to getting knee deep into one. There absolutely are opportunities out there.

The very first things to ask:
1. What is the product?
2. What is my profit?
3. Is there a market for my product?
4. Can I make money selling my product?
5. Is anyone besides me going to buy it ?

Building a team is not a bad thing. It just shouldn’t be a requirement.

Or how about the companies that sell you thier websites, hosting and coaching, with claims of you can make this amount of money. The last one tried to sell me websites that get referrals for mortgages; he was quite unhappy when I said I had to investigate more. My investigating turned up a scam company. Since then, I keep having someone call and hang up, so I checked for the number. The number just happens to come from the same State that company is from and I don’t know anyone else from that State.
The sad part is there are many more companies like this, as I have encountered quite a few. Just go to Ripoff.com and check them out.
