Melaleuca: I didn't want to be a distributor, I did sign up as a "preferred customer" for about a year, then dropped it b/c I had to buy $60 worth of merchandise a month or they would mail me a "manager's choice" packet of merchandise and charge me $70 for that month. I didn't use the stuff in a month's time and it got tougher trying to select items I didn't already have.

Man, we must know the same people because except for Pre-paid legal, people have tried to get me and the hubby involved in all of these.
I do know someone who is quite successful doing Melaleuca though. A girl who was at Spelman with me (who, BTW, is an AKA) and her husband were sales people of the year for Melaleuca in 2002 or 2003. According to other friends they are living large. She quit her job and he is about to quit his. I also thought about buying some of the products until I heard you have to pay to get the lower prices, then you have to committ to buying so much stuff a year. Rainman did they do that "look at this dishwasher soap eat through the alumnium foil type thing for you?
I think the reason Black folks get into this kinda stuff is that we have always had a hustle on the side. Hair in the kitchen, shade tree mechanic back in the day, now it the MLM stuff.
