Fortune High Tech Marketing (FTHM) independent reps are hitting my daughter’s college hard.  They are pushing to get students and other young people to attend an “opportunity meeting”.  Be warned… if these meetings are like others I have attended it will be hard to say “no”.  Before you know it, you will be hundreds of dollars poorer and twisting arms to get all of your friends to a meeting just like you  attended.  PLEASE ask yourself – Do you NEED FTHM products and are you getting a good deal on them?

It is with some trepidation that I write this blog entry.  REMEMBER – the whole reason I decided to start this company was because of what happened to a friend of mine with FTHM.  This is NOT an attempt to trash FTHM.  FTHM, just like any other opportunity, is right for some people, but not for others.  My beef is with those people who take hundreds of dollars from people knowing that there is no chance of success.

I have shared my business idea with some of my daughter’s friends at school as well as many of my friends and relatives.  I get all kinds of responses, but way too many ask “is this a scam or a pyramid scheme”?  I just want to say the answer is a big NO!  The reason behind my business is to provide a REAL opportunity to everyone.

According to Wikipedia “A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, often without any product or service being delivered.  Pyramid schemes are illegal in many countries, including the United States”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme

Wikipedia defines SCAM as “A confidence trick or confidence game (also known as a bunko, con, flim flam, gaffle, grift, hustle, scam, scheme, or swindle) is an attempt to defraud a person or group by gaining their confidence. The victim is known as the mark, and any accomplices are known as shills”.

Our business is neither of these.  Another question I have asked myself is “will my company be a Multi-level marketing (MLM) company”, like FTHM.  I believe the answer to this is “no” as well.  We don’t require our members to sell products every month to get paid.  As a matter of fact, we actually will be acting as an agent for our members, representing them to the marketing community, helping our members make money and get better deals.  You will even be able to join for FREE!  To be very open, we will have a paid version that offers much greater value, but we will still offer the FREE version.

You have value to the marketing communities.  We will exist to help you get Your Fair Share.  We will scam no one!  We are creating a way for almost everyone to make some extra money! How COOL is that?!
