Just so you know, the "heavy stuff" I'm talking about is researching a bzillion markets and sourcing products, etc. That would require me to all but abandon FIB and AmericaZoo, neither of which is an option... but I honestly feel that if I had the time to seriously work on it for a month or so, I could get my ducks in a row and it would get much easier.a

I can take half a day to list two items (although I'm getting much faster).
I had an acquaintance who became a Power Seller, and she said she had to cut way back because she wanted to be a stay-home mom and realized she did nothing but eBay.

I wouldn't dream of telling you whether it could be a viable solution or not, but here's what I know:
I homeschool my 10 y/o daughter and 10 y/o grandson, and I would kill for the opportunity to be like the other homeschooling moms I know -- *NON*working and able to devote all my time to home and kids and schooling.
Whatever she does is going to take a HUMONGOUS chunk out of her homeschooling, but given the option, I would choose eBay (or some other suitable home-based business) in a flash. Packing the kids off to day care kinda defeats the purpose.
Good luck!!

| 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.

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!!). |
