Hi I have 3 small children and researched long and hard for a work at home job. I really wanted to contribute to my family and keep my kids with me during the day. So I did lots of research and I found a great career! I recently have come across a home-based business opportunity with no large investment, no inventory and no risk. It is an Inc. 500 manufacturing company. I work from home with a company that manufactures products that we're already buying elsewhere, but they are better, safer & healthier. We just help set up customer accounts and the company pays us to do so. It has benefited our family so much! I never have to leave my house to be successful! If you would like some more information, please feel free to ask me about how I made it happen for my family! I would love to share the information about our company! I think if you hear all the details about working for this company it will make so much sense to you.
If you would like some additional info. please go to my website at :

You can view the link that says view more and then if you would like me to contact you, please click the link that says Get More Info. Now! and leave some basic information and I will get back to you!
HUGS Taffy

If it was so easy, everyone would be doing it. I get tired of seeing commercials and emails on making easy money at home without any effort and very little out of pocket investing. One word comes to mind...........SCAM.....(stop confusing a mom)
Stop and look how miraculous God is by the colors of the season.

I agree.. Even those sites where all you have to do is read articles, take surveys, etc... and make money is so not worth it. Whenever I do try and take the surveys, it never fails, I end up not qualifying. If it sounds to good to be true, then it is.

This is not a scam. This is a legit business! I never promised easy money or no work. You will get out of your home business what you put into it. I work hard..but I also LOVE what I do and I totally believe in what I am representing!
Don't make assumptions until you have looked into it and know what you are talking about. Our company and CEO has earned:
-Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing companies in America for 5 years running. -Has maintained a rating of "A" profit rating for all of those 5 years.
-Has been in business for 23 years and has NEVER had a failing year.
-Given the Blue Chip Enterprise Award from the United States Chamber of Commerce.
-in 2001 was awarded entrepreneur of the year by Earnst & Young Past recipients have been ebay, southwest airlines and Amazon.com.
-2002 recipient of the Psychologically Healthy Work Place Award
-2004 awarded Best Practices Honor by the APA.
-2007 Inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame. I could go on but I think you get the point. This is NOT a scam in any way. This is a solid debt free, reputation intact company. We are NOT Multi-level and We do NOT pressure sales! Next time you level accusations check it out FIRST!!
appeared on the Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing, privately held companies in America for five consecutive years, a feat accomplished by only 2 percent of companies. Melaleuca is one of an even smaller number of companies to maintain an “A” profit rating each of these five years.
•In 1991, the United States Chamber of Commerce honored Melaleuca by presenting it the Blue Chip Enterprise Award. Melaleuca was singled out because of its ability to succeed in the face of tremendous economic challenges.
•In 1998, Frank VanderSloot was named Idaho Business Leader of the Year by Idaho State University.
•In 2001, Ernst & Young, one of the nation’s largest accounting firms, awarded Frank VanderSloot the Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the Northwestern United States. Past recipients have included Amazon.com, eBay, Southwest Airlines, and Enterprise Rent-a-Car.
•In 2002, Melaleuca was recognized by the State of Idaho American Psychological Association, as one of a select few organizations to receive the Psychologically Heathly Workplace Award for its family friendly policies and programs.
•In 2004, Melaleuca was one of 15 organizations recognized nationally by the American Psychological Association with a "Best Practices Honor" for efforts to foster Family Support in the workplace.
•In 2007, Frank VanderSloot was inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame.

If this is such a great company, why is it that you don't post all the information online? If I want to know about a company, I do not feel comfortable giving out my personal information and having someone call me. That is just my 2 cents.

makes it sound like another one of those give me your number ill call you and tell you how great the company is but the only way you can make any money is if you get other ppl to join.
a good work at home job to me would be one where you work and get paid and not have to recruit lots of other ppl to try and make some money. i have no one to recruit and im not going to go on web sites just to recruit ppl so i can make some money and to me going on web sites spamming isnt really work its just spamming.
do not offer the p word to me. to me thinking, thoughts and ideas are so much stronger.

Without being knowledgeable about toxic materials, one would never know if the products are really environmentally safe: you be the judge.
To earn money in Melaleuca, the distributor must recruit members by convincing them that they are diverting dollars already being spent in the supermarkets to Melaleuca.
- Problem – convenience. You can shop online and wait for shipment to arrive or you can go to the local supermarket and purchase the supplies that you need.
To build a Melaleuca business, the distributor must complete the following:
- make a list of friends and family
- buy leads
- have prospects listen to a 45 minute presentation by your upline
- recruit an army to make a living online
The problem with this business model is that it is not duplicatable. Most people do not want to buy leads, chase family and friends, call on leads to convince them to join you and spend $200-$500 upfront and still not make a commission.

it is a mlm (multi level marketing) and the market is running out of ppl that havent heard about it we already had another person on this site awhile ago trying to get ppl in on it. bottom line is if you cant get a decent "downline" you wont make any money and will prolly be spending more on their products than what you will be bringing in.
work involved = spamming sites and harrasing other ppl you know to join you

Yup your right. You have to work for something. Nothing in life is free.

Keri,
Just curious...what is it about the company that you "hate"? Is it their products or just the way they do their business?

The way they do business. High pressure sales irritate the heck out of me.

I think what everyone is getting at is that we see alot of this stuff on momytalk- people step in trying to promote stuff and that is it. We are moms and extra money does sound great but we are going to be skeptical of these buisness only thread.
Mommytalk is very supportive of moms spreading their wings, they have for me !

I can totally understand that! High pressure sales irritate me as well.
I was curious why you felt that way about the company. We didn't have that experience with Melaleuca. My hubby and I were never put under any pressure. We signed up through some friends/neighbors when the company was running a special. To sign up only cost a $1.00 and we received $100.00 in free products ($20 every month for the first 5 months). Hubby and I figured we would try it. We were initially asked if we wanted to join the "Team", which we immediately declined. I am not interested in doing sales at all. Been there-done that-not going to do it again.
At any rate, we were really quite happy with their products. I just had to cancel our membership because money is tight right now and when we signed up we agreed to purchase so many points per month. Since each item is given a point value, we were spending at least $75.00 a month. I will really miss their Blemish Control Products, Nicole Miller Line of Cosmetics, and their nutrional bars. The Zap It! Line worked wonders for my daughter and myself and was less expensive than Proactiv. They had some tasty nutritional bars as well. The only downside there...they were delivered to my doorstep and left to melt in our AZ heat. That I wasn't happy about, especially since I was home all day.
I guess I will consider myself lucky that I wasn't pressured to sell the products. I really liked all the items that we purchased.
Thanks.
