Stands for No
Personal Selling - There are several programs of
this type out there, we reviewed this one in depth,
and find that others pretty much fit the same
review.
Rating:
Level of Review:
Researched, not tried.
Overview:
Program consists of an email marketing plan, eBook
that is given away free (personalized for you to
earn from sales out of it), and is basically just
selling a way to sell the way to sell. It works
only on PC, will not work on Mac, Linux, or other
platforms.
Product: The
product is the program. There is no other product
to support sustained sales.
Costs:
$39.95. One time fee, you own the program and
resale rights after that.
Compensation:
Compensation is based on your ability to make sales
of the product you bought. Once you bought it, you
make whatever you decide to resell the program
for.
Conclusion:
We concluded that this was an unacceptable
risk, and just another one of the oh, so common
near scams which sells you the key to making money,
which is by selling people a book on how to make
money!
We concluded this
for a couple of reasons. The program works by
customizing a free book. That free book is not
really a helpful tool, but just an extended
advertisement. It gives a bit of info on how to
market products other than theirs through
traditional marketing venues (if theirs is so good,
why do you need the other info?) and a little info
on marketing without ever contacting your customers
directly, and then gives several pages full of
things you will get when you join the program. The
things you get when you join the program are
eBooks, most of them are available free, and those
that are not are available for resale or give aways
once you have bought one copy (you can copy them
all you want once you own one copy). Now, all those
eBooks tell you how to sell products, on eBay, in
classifieds, through a storefront, in a booth, at
fleamarkets and craft shows, with a website, all
sorts of different ways to earn money with a small
business. Why? All that info is available somewhere
else, without paying them the $39, plus again, why
do you need to make money at flea markets if you
want a program that involves no personal
selling?
They also recommend
selling tactics that are at best unethical, and at
worst illegal. Spamming is not a good way to make
money!
The whole thing
seemed thin on value, and basically a setup to look
like a product when the real product was not there.
You might be able to make money with this, but I
feel the potential is pretty low for the program
itself, and you would be selling just to make
money, not to provide anything of real value to
your customers. It would be a job with little
emotional return.

Real work at home jobs DO exist, but you won't find them by searching for them on Google. It is so hard to tell the scams from the legit stuff. We offer a listing of 20+ companies that DO hire people to work from home. No telemarketing, no unethical or immoral stuff either. Get the details here.

Our Rating System:
No program is right for everyone.
Even a rating of four or five does not indicate that you should
dive in without some careful thought and consideration. Business
is still risky. All reviews have the reasons for the rating
clearly defined.
 -
Information presented in program is accurate and factual concerning
the potential of the program, program is based on sound business
principles, and has good potential to provide stable income
for individuals to whom the program is suitable.
 -
Information is accurately presented, company focuses on selling
product, but business is either more confusing, less predictable,
or slightly higher risk for one of a number of reasons. Still
considered a sound company and very acceptable risk.
 -
Information may be confusing or misleading, company may have
significant issues with program structure, support of product,
or public perception and reputation. A rating of three does
not mean you should not do it. It just means you need to be
sure you are suited to overcoming the difficulties that the
program has.
 -
Information generally misleading, risk fairly high, many unanswered
questions, business principles questionable, but still has some
potential for actually working for some people.
-
Cannot declare that it is an outright scam, but potential for
it to work is very low. Will have questionable business theory,
bad reputation, excessive hype that is not backed up by common
sense, or other aspects which indicate very high risk. Will
always have multiple issues, not just one thing.
 -
Outright Scam. Anything labeled this way is never worth any
kind of risk.
