Has anyone had success with Usana network marketing? -

I live in Australia and have been introduced to Usana (network marketing) and just wondered if anyone has done this and had success with it? Thanks

I am not going to lie to you about my true feelings when it comes to USANA. I think it is a terrible business to become involved in and is run by a corrupt group of people.To answer your question would depend on what you mean by success. If you are referring to USANA as a money making oportunity there are a number who have had success with USANA but it comes at the cost of others failing. USANA isn t a retail business, it s a recruitment business. Money is made by signing up new members like you would see in a pyramid scheme. Only a tiny minority on top of the pyramid actually sees a profit.Every person involved who wants to see a return for signing up people has to meet a sales quota every four weeks in order to remain eligible to receive a return. However, if the quota is not reached, the distributor will lose all the points that have accumulated but not yet been paid on. When you subtract these required purchases you ll see that almost everyone is operating at a lose.The sale of their products to people outside the company are not common because they cost so much. I m including sources for you to look at.

I ve not joined USANA, but it is a good company and there are alot of people making money with it. I have a list of about a dozen or so good companies that I recommend people interested in network marketing look into. Usana is on that list. Unfortunately for you the best network marketing opportunity I know of is only in US and Canada.

Network marketing is very questionable in terms of making any money. Regardless of the company offering it.

What is a good business to start? -

That s a very small budget with no margin for error. Make sure that you do something which involves a product or service about which you are very knowledgeable.If you have access to business foreclosure auctions, you might very well be able to buy some items at fire sale prices which you could sell online via auction or classified sites. Just make sure that you know the terms of the auction (fees they may charge you for buying) and the true market value of anything you buy.Service businesses can be quite lucrative, too. I once made a deal with a security dealer to buy high quality locks at a discount. I then sold them door-to-door making the retail markup plus an installation charge. Lots of people have old hardware that needs to be replaced, but they don t think about it until they have a burglary (or a good salesman stops by). ;-)The nice thing about the service biz is that you don t have to spend your money on inventory until you have a commitment from a customer.

Right now the internet would be a great place to start. A home based business and you have more than enough to get a huge jump on things. Check out this site for some great programs and training ideas. There is a internet training course on here Maverick Money Makers that is the best course I have ever seen.Best of Luck,K

Without knowing your age or location it hard to know what to suggest. If your are boy I would suggest something different than a girl. So I will try with a generic answer. Lawn mowing, window washing, dog do pick up, garage clean up. bike repair, car detailing, buy junk fix it up and sell it. I did that when I was in high school and made more money than anybody else in my school. Those are ideas that won t cost too much to get started and with a little work you should be able to turn your $500 in a few thousand.

Im 17 yrs old and i had the same question.What i did was buy staff online that was in a really really good price and sell it for more! Your money ill reproduce trust me but you have to do a lot price of searching before u buy a product!
