I have had a total of 33 jobs in 17 years. This does not include all of the musicals, operas, television and film projects either. I am a professional singer and actor. Did I plan on having 33 jobs in 17 years? Of course not, but life has been a crazy wild ride. There were no drugs, very little alcohol, but WORK has been my drug of choice! I have worked at least 3 jobs or more simultaneously in addition to performing over the years. Each week I will discuss one of my former or current jobs. My tenth job was working for multiple multi-level marketing companies.
Independent Insurance Company
After I quit AFLAC, I began working at an independent insurance company. At this company, you sold insurance to elderly individuals, but agents had to go to the homes of the clients in the evenings. I did not feel comfortable going to stranger’s homes at night, so I quit immediately. 2013 was a rough year financially so I began my network marketing journey.
Mary Kay
I bought products to sell Mary Kay and it was shipped to my house after I was recruited to join. But after receiving the box of products, I decided to send the box of products back for a partial refund. I do not wear much make-up. In order to sell Mary Kay or any type of make-up, you need to be a walking billboard of the products. Since I was struggling to find full-time work in Memphis, I thought that multi-level marketing would help solve the financial issues, but selling Mary Kay was not the solution.
Multi-Level Marketing
Multi-Level Marketing or network marketing can be a great way to make money, but it usually takes money to make real money. I tried to sell coffee products with Organo Gold in 2014 and Total Life Changes or Iaso Tea in 2015. I sold some of the products, but did not have enough of a network to be successful with multi-level marketing. Many people still think MLMs are scams. Most MLMs are not scams or pyramid schemes.
In order to be successful with an MLM, you have to sell products and recruit people. In a pyramid scheme, you only recruit people and there are no products to sell. As someone who struggled to make ends meet during my time in Memphis, network marketing seemed like a great idea for me.
If you are struggling financially, it is less likely that you will be successful with multi-level marketing because it costs money to make real money with these MLM companies. Network marketing is a great side hustle with your regular full-time job. If you want to join an MLM, try it and see if you like it as a side hustle. Here are some links below to some of my former MLM ventures.
Hope this helps,
