What I used to do (getting old and tired) was have two very large "yard sales' per year.
I lived in Chicago in a neighborhood full of " young urban professionals" and two or three times a year there would be big moving days...( leases all end about Apr. May. or Oct) there would be such a shortage of moving vans and trucks or these kids just didn't care...but the alleys would be filled with tables, fans, coatracks, vacuum cleaners, shelving units, even working T.V.'s and stereos......aquariums, suitcases...blenders, coffee makers, wineracks, coolers...everything in pretty decent shape!! ( some VERY decent) With just a small amount of cleaning, a dab of glue or a drop of oil...everything sold a couple months later at the yard sale! Not kidding, we made thousands some times. Re-cycling at its finest hour!
I guess they don't teach in college that vacuum cleaners need their bags changed or fans need their motors oiled!!
P.S. Another srange thing: I distinctly remember my wife selling fans that I cleaned and oiled for a few dollars MORE than you could go and get a new one!!!

I am involved with a company that does network marketing. It's called USANA Health Sciences. Here is their website, so you can see what it's about. www.USANA.com

There are MANY network marketing companies in existence. Some are good and some are not. For this business to work, it needs two things: First, a quality product - without that, the bottom will eventually fall out. Secondly, a compensation plan that rewards harder worker, not just "people at the top". USANA meets both of these requirements.

Since vitamins are not drugs, they are not regulated by the FDA. Because of this, what it says on the label is often not what is in the bottle. USANA has voluntarily submitted to the FDA requirements of processing and quality of their products, and are listed in the PDR (Physician's Desk Reference). That means that what it says on the label is what's inside. Also, they do dissolve in you (many vitamins end up passing through you, often still in pill form!)

Early network marketing companies taught sponsoring as many people as possible, and some would make it, while most drop out. In USANA, a distributor's "front line" only has two people in it. Any others that he sponsors go under those people. I cannot make money until I'm helping those below me grow their business, and I don't necessarily make more than the people below me.

This company operates in a bunch of countries (USA, Australia, Japan, UK,New Zealand, Netherlands, Mexico, Korea, Hong Kong, Canada) and is going to start in Malaysia in 2007. Where are you? So far, my business is only in the USA, but will be in Mexico in January.

Let me know if you're interested. You can start a business center for a little less than $600, and most of that is vitamins that you'll be benefiting from anyhow. Or, if you'd like to try the vitamins yourself prior to deciding, we could do that.

I try to sell extra things I have around my apartment, like books and movies, on places like Ebay or Half.com. Not only do I make money, but I also clean up some clutter.
