davis_squareHey Davis Square LJ,
A few months ago I started my own marketing business through Market America.
Market America is a product brokerage and internet marketing company, specializing in one-to-one marketing and mass customization.
Yeah. That didn't make a lot of sense to me the first time I read it either.
In my own words, I help my customers save money on things they're already spending money on anyway.
I work part time, in my own time, with enthusiastic and highly motivated people.
Market America offers thousands of exclusive products in several different markets, and has over 3500 partner stores whose products are available through my web portal:

Anyway, I'm hosting an informal business overview meeting at my apartment in Davis Square on Sunday, March 8th, at 8pm. It'll be about 45 minutes, and yes, there will be snacks.
I believe that Market America is the key to financial success. Anybody who is interested in hearing about the business, whether to learn about some of the products that can save you money or to find out about an opportunity to make more money in your spare time, let me know and I'll give you more specific information.
You can either comment here, or email me at BarrySquared @ gmail.com, with any questions.

If you want to talk about a pyramid scheme, then let's talk about Corporate America.

Date: 2009-03-06 06:06 pm (UTC)If those are the two worst things you could find to discredit the company, then I'd say we're in pretty good shape.
Seriously, instead of a quick Google search, stop by and see what it's about. At best you can make some money in your spare time, and at worst you get to come back here and comment "It was a scam! I knew it! But I enjoyed the chips and salsa."

The post you found was in convert_me because it was satire of religious apologists. It was also in a few atheism communities. Read it again with 'moderate' Catholics or Islams in mind, and it'll make more sense.
This post, however, in in davis_square, because I live in Davis, I'm hosting an event in Davis, and I'd like to present people with the opportunity to make some extra cash in a company that is thriving in spite of (and mainly because of) an economic crash.
Also, I'm not in the Klan. Just for the record.

Date: 2009-03-06 06:11 pm (UTC)Would I, as a new recruit, be permitted and even encouraged to recruit other participants, who would in turn be encouraged to recruit others, and they still more, etc. – from whom I could collect commissions and/or bonuses on what they buy or sell?
Is advancement in a hierarchy of multiple levels of participants achieved by recruitment and/or by a combination of recruitment and sales volume, rather than by appointment, as in other work or sales settings?
Are participants are expected to buy (or subscribe to) products or services in order to qualify for commissions or bonuses or to advance in the scheme?
Does the company pay overrides (commissions and bonuses) to distributors in a hierarchy of more than four levels?
Would the total amount of commissions (or discounts, bonuses, etc.) paid by the company to the entire upline of a participant be more than he/she would receive for actually making the sale?
