I gave it a spin (with the idea I could do it all via the internet without bugging my family, friends, and co-workers) a few years ago. Turned out that internet leads are mostly uneducated people looking for some easy, get-rich-quick scheme and are not good prospects for a serious business venture. Since I have no desire to market to my friends, family, and everyone I come in contact with on a daily basis... I gave up the business. Still use the excellent products and very happy I discovered them via this business.

new company... what they did for acne they are now doing for aging and sun damaged skin....the estimated $2.5b ANTI-AGING market. The company is growing exponentially... one of the only companies growing exponentially during this recession. As the skeptical pilot personality I was unconvinced at first, but now I am her biggest supporter as she is about to replace my income. If you want more info, PM me.
