There are LOTS of them - both online and off. Off including many companies which used to be pyramid selling but which are now MLM or multi-level marketing. There's a subtle difference but not a lot, other than legal IMHO. Be VERY careful whatever you decide to do or try. Remember one thing and you won't go wrong - do NOT believe all the promises of you making thousands of pounds or $$$s and more importantly, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

Other than that, good luck. I've tried L'Arome, Amway and another one I've forgotten but never made anything with ANY of them, despite trying hard. Once your family and friends have purchased from you, trying to find other people to sell to is EXTREMELY difficult. Don't forget there are many others 'out there' trying to do exactly what you are trying to do and there are only a finite number of people who are going to be interested.

The online sites I've tried MANY of those too and never made a single penny/cent so make up your own mind.

There are next to no jobs of Homeworking and the likes. There are several reasons for this.

Think about it as if you were a company. Would you send your expensive to an address that you had no confirmation of existing unless you have time to go there, and you still have no confirmation that they live there or will be there indefinetly, for the prospect that they might perform your task, on time and not just bin it all and split, or bin it all and get more, or take too long, or any other ideas.

Take envelope stuffing:
Leaflets to print cost maybe hundreds or Thousands of pounds, envelopes cost more money, labels more money. All this money that a company would be risking sending to someones house.

Then there is the issue that the private details of the clients of the company is going off a company premises, which as well as being risky is in potential violation of the Data protection act UK 1998 (Private data must be carefully protected by the company, if it is off premises, they loose some of the control of it).

Lets do Data Entry:
Your a reputable company with a global customer base. Would you send your valuable customer Information to a random house for a stranger to look after. and Proccess it in some way.

Doing that would contravene the Data Protection act 1998 (The data is outwith their control, so could be seen as breaching the Act) and you would have to possibly pay to insure house as a place of Business.

Telesales:
Some Random company offers you a job where you phone a database of numbers trying to offer the products of that company to the General public. Trouble is, when you go to claim your phone expenses, the company has Ceased to be.

These all seem legite on the face, or like good Business ideas, but there are flaws or other reasons that it can’t be possible.

Why not just go and get a job like most normal people, or change your living habits to live within your salary.

From personal experience, envelope stuffing doesn't work, cracker making didn't pay, electronic circuit construction didn't work, Amway was full of promise but no deliverance (12 yrs experience), Kleeneze we have found works well if you are prepared to put in some time and effort (5 yrs and still going).

Kleeneze was one of the founder members of the DSA which urged Parliament to outlaw pyramid selling back in the '70's.
Many other good Companies exist - some charge a registration fee and provide good pay plan packages while others don't charge a registration fee but have a lower pay plan structure (which means you pay a fee over a longer period of time). Some people don't like up-front payments, they refer to them as scam schemes ... but that encompasses all Companies that do the same, including the likes of McDonalds (£75,000+), Burger King (£250,000), Wimpy (£150,000), Pronta-print, Boston Pine, etc. People are quite prepared to put their entire livliehood at stake to set up a 'proper' business and in 80% of cases fail to make it past the 2 yr mark.

I work full-time and run Kleeneze part-time, I don't make a fortune, but an extra £500+ per month comes in handy. Many people I know earn over £1000 every 4 weeks. It's up to you at the end of the day - earn as much or as little as you want / need.

Give us a call if you need to know more.

There is a great business opportunity for you if you are willing to install and look after a DROP-BOX, either in your home or in your work-place, or even a virtual one on the Net, into which people seeking relief from Stress in daily life / any type of Emotional problems / some Chronic disease, would drop their questions to get information about tailor-made herbal solutions.
You would have to advertise in your community that you have such a drop box.
The questions are processed by highly skilled professionals in India, who have a vast expertise in this field.
You can install as many drop boxes as you wish.
Since stress and emotional disorders are so common in daily life, you can well imagine the vast potential this business has and the returns you could get from it.

I've watched a program about this on TV just the other day.

apparently all these stuffing envelopes and sewing and so on are all a rip off. you end up spending money rather than making it.

even the home work advertised in the job centres are dodgy and not checked out.

please be care full with what your offered and if possible check it out before you take any on.

they said if they ask you for any money to start anything of it's a definite scam.
