I've been following a few of the conversations regarding these crosses, and as much as it might sound like a good idea, the problems that have been going on with the "company" and the long waits for buyback (think MONTHS here, not weeks), combined with waits for the stuff to make them with, and I think I remember there was some problems with the people not owning the patent on the design on them and all... (sigh)
There are so many craft things you can do on your own. Here's an idea that I've been playing with...
Recently, I've been seeing lots of these wind spinners and candle holders that are made of wire and a few beads... and they're selling in the stores for 15.00 and more. Go to some stores and check them out--they seem really easy in design, and anyone who can look at a few of them, see what they're doing to make them, can see that a little bit of wire, a pair of pliers, some pretty beads, and some glass candle holders can make some GOOD money just by throwing a few of those together.
Making "Snuggly" blankets is another easy and creative idea. They are no-sew blankets, made out of fleece. Patterns and instructions are available in various places on the internet, as well as your local craft stores. These sell like hotcakes, and I even made one myself (a very long one, to completely cover me on nights when I'm laying on the sofa watching TV) in like an hour and a half--and people have seen it, thought it was awesome, and have asked me to make them one. They sell for BIG bucks, too.
Find a passion--and go for it. Internet "programs" and "packages" are rarely the way to making money, at least for the person buying them.

| 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. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

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!!). |
