I started a business in network marketing. It's through a company called Stream Energy. You are to recruit 3 associates and 10 customers, then your associates recruit their 3 and 10, and so on. Some people make $30K per month off of this after about 14 months. You invest about 15 hours per month. Eventually you get monthly checks for doing nothing.

It's the perfect business. You only work with people you already know. you set your own hours, you wear what you want, you don't have to answer to anybody.

My sister is involved in this and she said I could turn this into a full time gig. But I have a feeling that she's overly enthusiastic.

I have 1 associate and 2 customers so far. I've made $150 in a few hours. I need 2 and 8, particularly 2 to get $500 and 8 to get another $100.

I just tried to recruit a friend as an associate or a customer and he was very guarded and declined. I got discouraged about the prospects of this business becoming full time.

I wonder if anyone is familiar with Network Marketing. Is this a viable business?

Also should I continue to jobhunt? The economy is so bad it seems like a lost cause.

Thanks.
