I didn't know whether to wave or stick my tongue out at it.

You forgot Option "C", which is the "freeway finger salute".

What are the tax benefits, exactly? Are they different from normal business expense deductions?

You could write that stuff off if it was related to any business. The "tax benefits" are not specific to your company.

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST WRITE IN SENTENCES?

To answer your question: freelancing, such as writing or editing -- not saying this would be appropriate work for you, but it fits your description.

Tell me how Agel is not a pyramid scheme. Here is the description of "how it works" from the website you have in your signature:

How would you like an Income Building System that does 95% of the work for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

A system that not only does the selling and the training of your new members for you, but also starts putting associates into your business before you even contact them.

In fact, every person who signs up from this MyGelFusion website “after you” will be placed directly below the last person who signed up. So if you signed up today, everyone who signed up after you would be placed directly in your organization!.

Why are we putting people in your business anyways?

We actually make more money by helping you succeed! This gives us a strong incentive to do everything we can to help you make money. Anyone of these people we are placing in your business can represent $1,000's in residual income to you and your family for years to come.

You have the opportunity to leap ahead of everyone who visits this site after you if you take action and sign up before them.

And of course, if you do not want to risk losing any potential associates or members, you will need to sign up immediately.

Can you imagine how many people we will be able to place in your business in one month...6 months...1 year from now??

You're not starting a business. You're taking part in an already established business

A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered. ).
Hi,Molly
I will start here first. They key words if this definition are "no product or service being delivered". We have great products that are helping myself as well as alot of people live healthier lives. I was the BIGGEST skeptic of the all till I tried the product. So I tried out our FIT product for a few weeks and I saw results(11lbs to be exact). So my thing was if this can help me,I know it can help my friends and family as well. Network Marketing is a bonafied business module that is being taught at several colleges and universities around the country. Its legit. I gladly invite you out to one of our breifings evry Monday at The Raddison Hotel in Largo,MD to see it first hand. Or I can gladly get you some samples so you can try the product for yourself. Alot of it is visual and just seeing it first hand.

To make our company a scam would mean..we have bogus or BS products. Our products are legit. They really work. I used the products first MYSELF b4 I ever joined the business. My thing was if Im going to put my name behind something I want to be sure of the quality and the effectivness of the product b4 I present the opportunity or the product to family and friends.

No, your company can still be a scam if it's taking advantage of low level sales people such as yourself. The quality of the product has nothing to do with being a MLM. It's the business structure, not the quality of the product, that are in question.

If you really want to be a businessman, then start presenting yourself properly.

It's nearly impossible to take someone seriously who uses netspeak like "b4", spells many words incorrectly and does not know how to use proper grammar, punctuation or sentence structure. It's not like a typo here and there, we can barely read and understand your posts.

And as I said a few posts back, you don't have your own business. You're a lackey in someone else's business.

You sell little packets of juice? How does that work? You can drink them?

Mary Kay Inc maintains it's "dual-marketing" not Multi-level, but the IRS disagrees saying there are only TWO types of direct selling companies.... single or multi-level.

Does anyone have any good resources regarding Dual-Marketing?
