When I First Started Out

When I first started out trying to make money, it so happened at that time mail order was the thing.

So, I created a company called the “Gift Emporium” and found a product that I could market.  I think the product was a hand held can opener.  You remember the ones that could open any can…

Then it was time to market and I decided to run a display ad in some magazine that was national.  I did and it cost me around $700 bucks to run this ad for a month.  I think it was a month.

Well when the ad became public, wow the orders started to roll in.  Man was I excited, but as time went on, the orders were coming in less and less.  And I was in the hole and was not a happy camper.

So I tried another product and another and low and behold, I went farther and farther in the hole.  But so be it. I kept at it, until I decided it was time to move on.

That was when we started to do some MLM or multi level marketing, if you did not know what MLM stood for.  I will tell you about that in the next post.

Have fun and talk to you later.
