I tend to disagree with you. I think its an excellent concept. May I ask why you think differently?

Simply because the majority of people participating in the scheme are there to fund the folk higher up the chain (the ones who find the most suckers to sign up). These people, who are less successful at recruiting others, tend to spend too much money on their efforts and wind up making serious losses.
Thanks, but no thanks to pyramid schemes.

How can it be a pyramid scheme? If you actually understand the concept behind it and get shown how it works properly you will relaise its not a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes tend to collapse. If it was a pyramid it would have collapsed 50 years ago already, it was actually started in 1959 you know. One thing is for sure its not a get rich qick scheme and it does actually work over a longer period.

I have been introduced to Network21: Amway's not-so-secret sister: "we are not part of Amway, but we sell Amway products". If you do not consider this form of MLM to be a pyramid scheme then you have either been convinced by their lies, or have not seen the evidence yet. Do some googling about people who have been burnt by MLM's. There are success stories, but these are for true marketing types who feel no qualms at getting people to sign up, as long as their own earnings increase.
Whilst the notion of creating a network of of agents who promote a certain range of products seems innocuous and above-board, just read up on people who are desperate for an income, who are simply signed up and made to buy stock, then aren't able to move the products. Read up on the "seminars" which these organisations hold, which are filled with shiny plastic people promising fantastic incomes, amazing holidays in tropical destinations, etc etc. It's a brainwashing exercise in order to draw more suckers in.
Sorry for the derailment, I'm just anti-MLM's. I'm sure that are many good ways to earn money in your part-time, aside from the hard-sell method. If you do choose to go this route, please do enough homework up-front, without any influence from the organisation's agents.

Anything with "I promise its not a pyramid scheme" = bad news.
In 2007, following investigations that lasted more than a year, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in UK issued petitions against Amway as well as two IBO organizations Britt World Wide and Network 21, and initiated civil court proceedings. According to Amway, DTI's objections include misrepresentation of the financial rewards expected from the Amway business, excessive promotion of BSMs (Business Support Materials like books, tapes, CDs, meetings, websites) and Amway's failure to prevent these abuses.

Anything with "I promise its not a pyramid scheme" = bad news.
A United Kingdom judge has dismissed government claims against Amway operations there, saying major reforms last year fixed company faults that favored selling training materials over products and misrepresented earnings.
The ruling clears Amway UK, a part of Ada-based Alticor Inc., of the threat of expulsion from one of Amway's oldest international markets.
In a letter to employees around the world, Alticor President Doug DeVos and Chairman Steve Van Andel said the ruling was not a "pop-the-champagne victory."
"This is a reminder that the marketplace and regulators hold us to the highest standards. We have an obligation to meet those standards - and we intend to do so," they wrote.
The company has more than 100 employees in the UK and 10,000 distributors.
The judge in the case expressed his belief Amway allowed "misrepresentations" of its business by independent sellers in years past and failed to act decisively against the misrepresentations.
The reformed Amway business model, he wrote, is "fully formulated, comprehensive, open and transparent and capable of effective and ongoing implementation without supervision."
Spokesman Rob Zeiger said the ruling was a "solid validation" of reforms implemented by the company in the United States and abroad.

Are you some kind of a draughtsman? I'm a structural draughtsman and I like your idea of making money on the side. I also use AutoCAD 2008 at work but I don't know if I'll be able to digitise old paper drawings, my employers wouldn't allow it.
Anyway, do many people approach you to digitise their old paper drawings?

If this is true, then good for them and I hope that they really are reforming. However, I stand by the adage that "a leopard doesn't change its spots". Amway achieved its success through blatant exploitation of the uninformed masses. Sorry, but I do not believe that such horrible, entrenched practises would truly be replaced by completely benevolent ones.
Again, I apologise for going off on a tangent to the original thread, which is worth discussing.

i've seen these things on the net quite often where they "pay" you to complete surveys.
how its supposed to work is you pay them X amount to "subscribe" and then they register you etc and send you surveys which you complete and send back to them. they then send these surveys to the companies concerned and the companies pay you.
anyone else ever seen/heard of these things? i mean, it seems like a pretty easy way to make money but it seems quite sketchy

At the moment I am just doing general-arrangement drawings for the company that I work for. We are too busy to get it all done during office hours, so I do it at home for a fee. I haven't had any work for outside company/individuals, but wouldn't mind getting in some work for when I finish the current contracts I am working on.

which means you can make two colour vinyls also, if you had more than one colour. it's quite easy to layer the vinyl.
