The first person here warned you about having to pay them first.  Of course you have to pay them first, you are purchasing a business and no one gets a business for nothing.\nAs for Quixtar...aka....Amway, there are many pros and cons.  One of the pros is the product is of very good quality..con: Many similar products are available everywhere for the same price or less.\nThe thing you have to consider here is your market.   Most people run for the hills when they hear Amway, even though they were a pioneer in the industry.  Quixtar is exactly the same only with a new name.  They have developed a "cult-like" reputation by asking people to attend their many meetings and not telling them up front what it is.  People don't like that.\nThe other thing is that their ship has sailed...long ago.  Gone are the days where the baby boomers were raising their families and willing to fill their houses with products that they bought from their own "store".  Most of the boomers are empty-nesters now and searching for health and anti-aging.  They don't want to pester everyone they know into buying a bunch of products that they probably will no longer use.  The company experienced hyper-growth many years ago and they are definately not up to date on the new marketing methods that are far more successful.  The new age tools just aren't there.  Their compensation plan is very outdated as well.  If you do comparisons you will find this to be true.\nIf you are looking for Network Marketing companies that ask for a much smaller investment, a better comp plan, and a product that people are searching for now, then I suggest you do a check and compare.\nThey are definately out there.

Cingular is connecting you to the phone/intenet system, so they are your internet provider.  you usually can ask to have X_company be your ISP instead of the guy who gives you the connection, but the problem with that is X_company will want some money for the internet access and Cingular will want some mony for the physical connection, which makes it cheaper to just use whomever is your physical connection (or radio/cell phone connection) to the web.

There are people who have joined my company that used to work with Mary Kay.  The average Mary Kay representative buys serverl hundred dollars if not thousands to stock an inventory.  They also have a hard time because so many people are represenatives of Mary Kay and there simply is not enough business to go around.  Many times they were unable to return unsold items due to color changes where they discontinues some items and the representative is simply stuck with it.  I have a very interesting comparison between my company and Mary Kay if you would be interested.  I don't know about Beauticontrol or Jafra but I believe they are less over done.  \nIf you live in the U.S. or Canada I have a company you may be interested in.   I work with Stayin Home and Lovin It! and they are partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and in good standing with the Better Business Buerau.  The make products that are healthier non-toxic and environmentally safer.  They have a complete cosmetic line, and they sell so many other products also, including cleaning supplies, shampoo, toothpaste, deoderant, vitamins, health bars, laundry soap, candles, bubble bath, soaps, and so much more.  All your necessities you buy everyday.  With this company you do not stock any products, or make any deliveries.  You enroll customers to shop direct and their purchases are delivered to their door.  Then you recieve a commission for everything that customer buys and long as they are buying.  You can have the home parties if you like to enroll customers to show off the products.  The products are at a reasonable price, many I found to be cheaper than what I was buying before.  If you are interested in researching this company further go to http://healthybetterme.com/  and fill out the request to get more information.  There is no risk of losing anything with this company and no big investment.  I hope you find what you are looking for.

quixtar was formally Amway, if u decided to joint, make sure you start as a part time work. Products from Amway. are no doubt high quality, the pricing for the product are high as well and  the profit margins for distributors are very low, a lot of networking are require to establish a business like that. The marketing sounds really good, however you have to sponsors thousands upon thousands of people, and continuously motivate your sponsored distributors to drive the sales. In today's world consumers are very price concious, it's tough to convince poeple to buy from you, if they can get the same products else where at a much lower price.

I've tried many so called "opportunities" in the past in which I had to pay money to get involved only to find out that I had to give more money to stay involved. \n\nI have been involved with this company about a month and I like it very much. There are NO sign-on, enrollment, maintenance, or other hidden fees at all. Best of all this IS NOT a scam. If you are willing to work you can make a lot of money. That's very impressive to me. I finally found a company that gives you free enrollment, free website, free accounting software, and free support.\n\nIf your interested in this rare opportunity, please e-mail me and I will set you up today and you can start your business today. You can run this business from anywhere you have access to a computer. Excellent for "home based" business seekers

It depends on the area.  You can usually find a free trial on their website.  That way you can go a try it out and see if you like it before making a commitment.

Personally, I love the opportunity I have there. It's not easy building a business. Some people don't want to join you and some don't want to do business with you. If you keep getting enough rejections, you going to feel you should quit. But winners never quit and stick it through until they finally get a "yes". If I can't build here, thank god I'm not building a business on my own such as owning a restaurant.\n\nAnyway, I really don't like the name Primerica because I sometime call it PrimeAmerica. lol. I rather call it CitiMarketing because that's what they are. Primerica is the marketing division of Citigroup. Thank god there's no quotas to meet. I try to create my own quota or "monthly goal" on what I want to do. Sometime I hit it, sometime I don't.  Good thing I have no boss yelling at me everytime I don't hit my monthly goals.

Once I wrote in a forum, that they sponsored, and got a reply from Tom asking me if I would be interested in being a regular writer on their team, but I declined.  I used to be a stockbroker with a large firm and I wrote about why I thought the average large stock brokerage firms overcharged for the dismal advice that their stockbrokers, who actually are nothing but overpaid salesmen, gave.  I didn't want to get in the middle of a lawsuit with my employer.  After-all, they have more money for lawyers than I have.  But the threat of lawsuits is how they keep the truth sequestered.\nThe Motley Fools boys seem to do their homework, but in the end, I haven't seen anyone say that their stock picks are better than anywhere else. Learn why someone recommends something.  Don't just place a bet.  In investing there is an old saying, "ride your winners and sell your losers".  Like many other advice columns, they tend to brag about their winners and keep quiet about their losers.

YES! MAN I like this question! I totally agree! (being a Scot too) So ya, Where are the talanted kids at now? I figure the risk of perminant injury and loss of funds is stopping a few. Rough sport. Takes alot from you. Plus touring on a team is very demanding and has a hard life as well. DAMN good question though... I'm going to follow this one. Currious to see what others think.

what are your pros and cons of going??

Yep, I got mail from them asking to join, but i never did because of the cost. I think it's an excellent program. There are several divisions such as the NYLF for law, medicine (which I got for), engineering, etc. You should check out the site for more info :)

Is it a pro or con thing? What state are you in. How do you feel about it? What is it you want to know. You need to be more specific.

Only if you are the person on top.  A few years ago a friend talked me into joining Quixtar.  It was horrible.  It was expensive, bad quality stuff you bought and then you had to spend every single moment trying to recruit people.  I would say after placing a order for $10 sandpaper toilet paper, I realized it was the worst mistake I have ever made.
