A Doable Internet, Home Based Business

Fam, I have become a member and posted in a lot of forums over the past month but the only opinions that tell me like it is, the good bad and ugly, is the BGOL Fam. I feel like this business opportunity is a solid work from home opportunity, you can do on the web starting out with no cost. Let me have it! Do you see ANY holes in this affiliate marketing approach and opportunity? Don't hold back. IMO, it is always pain before pleasure. I need real constructive criticism because I want to build this wealth. Here it goes:

Ok. Fair enough. So should I reword it to make it sound more "believable" or when people see "free" in advertising so much it is a turn-off to the point they don't think that it is a real opportunity? I am really trying to promote the fact that with the right information, you can build a business with little to no investment, mainly little. BUT your information and drive has got to be top notch. Thanks for the feedback, heavyone.
 
Ok, check this out. One, the holiday season has begun. Back to school to Halloween, to Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Year's to Valentine's...you get the picture. Two, everybody eats candy, chocolate candy, on all these occassions. We have not even got to Mother's Day, Father's Day, fiends and just greedy bastards. Check out my affiliate site: www.cajuncountrygifts.com/go.cgi?shop=5073. Right now, we have free shipping on everything from the chocolate candy to the gift baskets to the cajun food and spices. For all you hustlers, who would not mind making a little passive income on the network marketing side, check me out at www.cajuncountrygifts.com/go.cgi?free=5073. Visionairies only.

the thing i hate about these "opportunities" the most is that you have to commit before you even find out what the gig really is. can you explain in plain detail what this business is?

my pet peev(sp) when i first started internet marketing. Most of the companies I came across wouldnt just give me the information I was looking for. I hate jumping through hoops for it.

oh and btw, the pics of skinny white whores and luxury cars and beaches scream bullshit.

That too. business online is like anything else...most of them are doable. Some are more reputable than others, thats all. No disrespect to the original poster but b.s. is the first thing I thought when I saw the page you were promoting. I get weary of sites that look like it's about getting rich quick. It just doesnt happen that way. It will happen if you're consistent in your actions(the right actions) and willing to learn, just like any other business.

Good stuff. Real good stuff. I will clarify. This can be considered a network marketing opportunity. It really falls more under a home based internet business or mail order, if you will. The facts: mail order ($2.4 trillion dollar industry), chocolate ($13 billion dollar industry), gift baskest ($1 billion dollar industry) I feel comfortable selling into well established markets. The system is turnkey. Follow the instructions, don't reinvent the wheel and you will make residual income.

Now, I am personally not fond of what the site looks like but it is an affiliate site. I do not have control of the content. I have the opportunity of talking to the CEO and founder of the business whenever I need to. I discussed my concerns with him and he said his web developer tells hime what works and what does not. The web developer is a professional and claims the site attracts those looking for a business opportunity.

This chocolate company is 20 years old. It started out brick and mortar at a mall kiosk in Scott, LA. So many tourists enjoyed the candy, but could not always travel to get it, that he chose to use a network marketing model to promote the candy. Whatever you sell, you get 40%. If you choose to recruit, you can get up to 70% over five levels. Looks no different than a corporate structure from CEO down to the employee. The start up package gives you step by step instructions on how to market. I AM NOT GOING TO SCAM THE FAM.

I hate get-rich-quick, my grandma can do it, I made 10 grand my first month intro's. I typed doable because I "ain't sellin' no pipe dreams." I believe in this business. I have researched mail order. I have researched chocolate. I know how affiliate marketing works and I feel like this may create a good income outside of work or a great income if you choose for it to replace work. I hope this answers questions that have been raised. I brought it here because I know you would give me the business if you felt it was bullsh!t.

Hell, why I am typing all this sh!t. Log on to my site (www.cajuncountrygifts.com/go.cgi?shop=5073) and look at my products. Straight legit. If it is not a biz opp for you, support the fam, pick up some chocolate for the girl or wifey and spread the word. That's all I ask.

Let me see if I get this right.

If I sign up with your multi-level marketing program I have to commit to spending $30 a month (plus a $3 service fee), (which is automatically deducted from my checking or credit card). But I get 40% commission on my sales which means I have to sell at least $80 of candy to just break even per month. So cajuncandy gets $80 dollars of free sales per month per salesmen.

I can dig it but a person is going to have to be very interested in selling candy to make any serious money.

But what I am more interested in is the setting up of the MLM program to sell products. I may want to institute a MLM program for my toy store. Free salesmen paid only on commision as a company you can't beat that.
 
I guess you are right. From a "stereotypical" black perspective, I just looked at the low barrier of entry. Mail order can be done from the home. You can make money recruiting others to market under you OR just hustle (like I am) to promote it yourself. My upline is the founder and CEO. He returns my calls within 24 hours. It is really just a candy company that does mail order instead of retail sales and chose a network marketing system to market it's product. It DID NOT start out MLM.

I am not hanging my hat on this opportunity to win the Super Bowl, I am just want a winning record with this business. I am not offering millions, just an opportunity that won't put you on the street to see how this game works. No one shot wonder to millions. It is a process. Start wherever you are comfortable and build into whatever you want to do where barrier of entry is not a problem. Now, I am asking for not only for the fam's support but to be open-minded. We are behind as a whole for a reason.

I feel you. But the thing to realize that as a commision salesman you are just a pawn in the capitalist game. There is little difference between a commission salesmen or a employee. It is essentially a home based job. Instead of getting paid by the hour you get paid by the sale. MLM is a tool businesses use to sell their product. From an ethical standpoint I think it is exploitive to the salespeople but from a business standpoint there is nothing wrong with it. In fact it has proven time and time again to work very well for the companies. As for the salesmen I personally don't know any MLM salesmen millionairs but I do know personally a slew of MLM victims. Most of them unfortunatly were people with the entrepeneur spirit who were misguided into thinking they actually had their own business.

Instead of working for cajun if your interest is candy why not just buy some candy and baskets from Sams or Costco and make your own. Instead of being locked in to the prices they demand you could adjust for your market. You could cater to your customers. If you are about your hustle you could take that same $30 cajun is taken and make a basket worth $80. Flip it and make two baskets. etc. etc.

It don't take a whole lot of money to start your own business it just takes a lot of hustle and some knowledge about your product/service.

Don't get me wrong I am not trying to knock your hustle, in fact if I need a basket I might go through you. So keep hustling but look towards the future hopefully we will see a slimjonescanday.com I'd buy from that all day before I buy from the cajuns.
 
Who’s not a pawn in the capitalist game?

Your viewpoint seems to be kind of flawed on this subject. You say he should start his own candy business, fine. What about ff he gets big enough to have others sell his candy for a piece of the profit? That’s all MLM is. It's no different than any other sales/service business in that a product or service is offered to those who would buy it.

There are a slew of victims because there are more people who want to get rich quick than there are level headed planners who don't just listen to talk, but who actually research for themselves to see if an endeavor is feasible before they start.

As a business owner you are an employee in the fact that you have to do something in order to get paid. People often over analyze MLM like there is some sort of negative plot behind it. Usually from people who have either never tried it themselves, or didn’t have the patience or proper plan to succeed and comes across like that in you're post. I'm not trying to defend commission based businesses, but it just seems obvious enough that anybody can be successful at it with the right tools and training.

I didn't read the whole thing, but with so much free shit on the site, it looks SUSPECT!!!!
I'm feeling ya here Dawg! With all of the free shit, where is the value? This is what I know; I pay for shit. I need an Attorney, then I pay his ass cause the free one's will land ya ass in jail! I see a Doctor I pay his ass. The free one is trying to get me the fuck out of his office for the one that is paying!
If you want something worth your time, buy it!
Stay up! :cool:
 
Great, feedback. I got a chance to talk to Roy, my upline and CEO at Cajun Country Candies. The website has been toned down. No more fancy cars and bikini clad women. I felt that it was sending the wrong message. Plus, a lot of women would do very well at this business with it's heavy concentration in chocolate, gift baskets and specialty foods.

Let's evaluate free. The business is free to start true and every business should be in my opinion. Now, you do pay to play the game. It's 30 dollars a month of anything off the entire website which keeps you elgible to make commissions off of those you sign up for the program or those who you just market your affiliate site to and they buy candy directly from you.

Like I said before, this is a learning process for me. I would not promote something that I had not researched then began to participate in myself. I just began the last weekend in July but slow motion is better than no motion. I am learning about selling and marketing without paying somebody hundreds or thousands to tell me how.

Keep the constructive criticism coming. I am apart of a lot of forums and groups but I always test in the toughest market first so I am not getting high on my own supply.

Free here, is about opportunity. I am not getting anyone off a murder charge nor am I saving someone from a heart attack. Both of those are a high barrier of entry professions but not network marketing. The attempt is to appeal to all those who "claim" they don't know a way or have a way or the "man" is preventing a way. It is free to start but you do have to "pay to play."

Anyway, our site is being renovated to bring the public more products and better service. Everyone here has a girl, a wife, or some female that they chill with. Let them know the best gourmet chocolate is @ www.cajuncountrygifts.com/go.cgi?shop=5073 starting on October 1st with the GRAND RE-OPENING.

IF, and only if, they are looking for an extra stream of income send them here, www.cajuncountrygifts.com/go.cgi?free=5073. You might be surprised at what the potential of this opportunity could be. I mean, everybody loves chocolate, right? I even like my women CHOCOLATE. Keep porn alive!

The keyword .. Black Friday .. just threw me off a little!
None the less .. I hear u!
 
During all the festivities, I was able to check out my site and I see that there is some holiday pricing on cajun country gifts best selling items. Take advantage now for ANY gift giving you may be doing for someone that has a vagina. I have not met a woman yet that did not want something that is for sale on my site. By the way, these make great Secret Santa, corporate and office gifts that are inexpensive and everybody is happy. Enjoy.
