Last night I decided to go on a website and try SMC (Specialty Merchandise Corporation) they called me abck this morning and discussed options where I would pay 24.95 and they would give me the website and catalogs to start a online business. Has anyone else attempted this business and was it successful?

I think it is really important that people do their research before investing money in any opportunity that they are not sure of. The best way to do this is to go to your search engine and type in "name of program"+scam (example: 123program scam) It is important to do this type of research each and every time before participating in a program that asks you for money. Some of these programs demand more money from you once you pay an initial fee. Some people have lost thousands of dollars that they are unable to get back. Be vigilant and be smart and know what programs are scams BEFORE turning over your hard earned cash.

i was a member of SMC about 10 years ago, it shows they're a pretty good company just to have been around that long. back when i was a member they didn't have website services or anything, they just had catalogs. i could see making some serious money with them, basically if you pay $1.00 for an item from them you could easily turn around and sell it for $3.00, depending on the items you choose to sell of course. the amount of money you can make with them depends on how much effort you're willing to put into it. when i was doing it, i basically just sold to friends and bought stuff for myself, but since they're still in business, i've been thinking about doing it again and maybe selling a couple of things online. the bottom line is they are a legit and good company......it just depends on how much work you put into it.

that's encouraging. Yea I just got off the phone with a representative adn she said they actually have coaches that you work with for 3 months that show u ways to promote the free website that they give you and they only thing you have to do is get the poeple to the site. I guess that is where the referral comapnies come in handy as well aas facebook and myspace. I'm gonna give it a try.

Did you ever sign up with SMC? If so, how did it go? I am trying to find someone from Ohio who signed up with SMC around the time period of your post above who would be willing to get in touch with me and tell me about it.
