One of my biggest concerns in my life is about investing any money into something that I could do from home.
Ten years ago I was married and had one child. I was a stay at home mom then. The very end of 1999 my family moved into our very first home and in 2002 we welcomed our second child. I wanted to continue to stay at home with our two children. I had to have a little income coming in though.
Everything out there though was either way to good to be true, a pyramid, or just a down right scam.
I even spent $50 on a book claiming to have jobs(making crafts,etc) from home. The quotas expected were way out of this world. I did try one and did not pass their initial inspection of the materials sent to me I had worked on.
I even tried selling on Ebay and had some success for awhile. I joined a drop shipping company that I thought was a great find. Until my buyers contacted me a few weeks later to find out how they could get their items replaced or repaired.
Needless to say I lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. I was burned and tired.
There are many good business opportunities out there but most of them we all have known for many, many years and of course our areas are saturated anyways.
Earlier this year I found out about Market America. My emotions, I admit, were like a roller coaster. I would get excited and then concerned.
At times I felt overwhelmed with all the details about Market America. But I took a step back and talked a lot with my best friends as well as my team leader.
Teammates did their own research. Even on our team leader.
No one could find a negative comment about Market America that had any merit at all.
In March I signed up to be a distributor after hearing Bruce Holder speak in middle TN.
I have since done a lot of research on my own. In fact, I even joined a forum called scam.com. I could find anything negative about MA there.
I have asked others particularly on Ebay why they were selling their distributor materials. All of them have decided they didn't have time to work on Market America.
Time was a big concern for me. I'm a single mom of 3 children now with only the support from my two best friends. I'm still charging full speed ahead with my business.
I have never expected it to be easy. I knew I was and still do know I have to work hard at it.
Like most things my closest friends know I am going to do research. I have spent countless hours learning more about MA besides listening to all the CD's and reading all the magazines and manuals MA gives you.
More than that, it's not even Multi-Level Marketing! You own your own business yet work as a team.
Other opportunities claim you work as a team but do you get treated the same way? I think not.
So the answer is Market America is Not a scam.
