It's okay not to have marketing experience. Where that would hurt you is in the internet marketing game. There's a huge learning curve there, and I'd suggest you spend a few months at places like the Warrior Forum and buying some good learning materials before getting started.
However, there are plenty of opportunities that don't require internet marketing knowledge. I'll give you 2 examples.
First.. ebay. You should be able to find some warehouses in your area that buy returned merchandise from large retailers (like Sears, Kohls, etc). The wholesalers buy this stuff for like 15% of retail price. Then you can buy it by either the truckload or pallet. Start with a pallet or two, break it down, then list the items individually at 20-25% below retail. If you do your research and learn how to list items effectively, you should be getting at least a 30% return on your money each time.
Second.. did you know that you can buy mlm leads? This is only effective if you're selling a high ticket program (I won't list any here since that seems to be frowned upon). You can buy leads for $1-$3 each. Call them all and put them through the system. As you get more and more comfortable with your product and talking on the phone, you should start profiting very quickly.
That's a really brief overview, but do your own research and take it from there.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
