They soon after realized that they could do literally nothing in the process by giving some poor schmuck a minuscule piece of the pie for doing the grunt work. Sure, every company on earth works this way to an extent, but you can find better ways to make some cash on the side.
Try looking at your life as it sits now. Do you have any hobbies that you might be able to turn into a cash yielding venture? For instance, are you artistic? Do you antique? Are you handy?
There's a number of things that we do in our everyday lives (and that we're good at) that we don't realize we could be profiting from. My brother works as a printing press operator in his day job. On the weekends he works as a handy-man for real-estate companies who need small fixes on rental properties...this was born from his carpentry hobby, and all-around handy man status. I, myself, have painted for years as a hobby but recently started making extra cash by selling them in KC galleries...I've also taken up the 'hobby' of buying, restoring and reselling old furniture.
Things like that are fun, take up your free time, allow you to feel like you've accomplished something on your own (not for someone else's benefit) and earn you extra cash. Just a thought.

Absolutely. I was actually looking into it because the way it was described was as sales. And while I'm new in sales, it's absolutely where I belong. I love it. I'm great with people, I like people, and I have an uncanny knack at figuring out what makes individuals tick. In a very short period of time after meeting them.
I just thought that was really what this was. I've got a couple of ideas, was kind of looking into the fitness/weight loss/motivational type material that gets peddled online and run with it. Some of those deals are 75% commission rates with recurring billing that I continue to get 75% of. Nothing overnight, but I had a couple of ideas and was just looking for some more basic info. I appreciate the insight, and the advice.
