In the early part of the century, I was very busy for a while working restoration projects for homeowners, they lived in the houses, and I could have used help with scheduling and especially billing. I'd keep my crew working immediately to the new job.. , and forego billing the last. Or put nebulous estimates ahead of completed billings. Then I'd need to catch up on the billing by piecing together missing bits of hours and materials. But we were all word of mouth and they liked our work.

Thank you. I am learning a lot here. These affinity groups have huge potential in reality, even if there was no MLM pay structure. Hard to know if the techies w'd have gotten as rich if they hadn't goosed it with the 40% downstream, and promoted it as big money opportunity, rather than just the service; could be. But the service is still a good idea, and tech and design are not too shabby. If you were giving classes in conversational English for construction work, at $5 per month; it would only take 1000 in the group, to make a basic living tutoring/teaching, from home. Or the coffee shop.
