In a nutshell, I want to retire from working for someone else, and be a "stay at home dad" Kinda crazy I know, Stay at home mom is all the rage this year... So, about oh a year ago now I guess, I started looking into making money online, that is how I found mylot, affiliate marketing and MLM. I did a few things here and there, got scammed as I am sure a lot of other people did, and in the process I learned a lot. Tonnes, too much to mention in two minutes mind. Three of the biggest things I found out though, was any information someone expects you to pay them for, you can probably find for free, as a matter of fact, I paid for information, and then was directed to a open website.....I was not impressed. Second was Mentoring For Free...I mention this site/organization a lot because I love what they do and what they charge. If you are coachable, and can follow a system, this is a great place to create "leads" and get them trained to do the same thing. Third was, my primary online income generator...Vitamark International. It is an online health and wellness store. I like to think of it as a comprehensive vitamin shop with a referral bonus. The products are great, I love the cookies(super good for you snack), the Limu Plus, the Vitaone, the Vite Enhanced Water, Crave Energy Drink, those are just some of the main stream ones, I love em all. Best soy protein I have ever tasted. Thanks for reading. It seems it was a little longer then two minutes....Do you have a two minutes story? What do you think I could do to improve mine? With Appreciation.

My story is that I am still on the journey to be able to be completely comfortable with staying at home with my children. However, I have learned quite a bit in the time since I've discovered mylot. I think that the time that I've spent here has been one of the most valuable things that I've learned about being a stay at home mother. Mylot brings me sanity when I don't have any at home. I've learned how to push my Tupperware business farther and I know that I will continue to learn.

How and why did you get started in Tupperware? What prompted you to look into home a home business? Mylot is a great place to come, learn, share and just talk. How did you find out about, and what keeps you coming back? Sincerely and With Appreciation.

That makes for a lot more than a two minute story. I got started with Tupperware nearly a year ago. A friend of mine invited me to a party where I went into the party knowing exactly what I was going to buy. Then my brother and sister-in-law arranged a fundraiser for his Team In Training and the morning of the fundraiser I woke up and realized that I needed to be a Tupperware consultant. It is a product that I've used my entire life (my mother and my grandmother both had huge collections of Tupperware) and I'd just moved into my own house and had none of my own, so I needed a way to get my own collection. In addition to that, I saw how much my friends had ordered at Tara's party a month before and thought it would be the perfect foot in the door. I'm in it because I love the product and I also like the fact that I can get my own products for a discount. As far as mylot, I learned of this great site through a job search for my mother just after she'd been laid off from her job. I was searching the job boards and found a link that brought me here. I was very apprehensive at first as I really didn't know that you could make money online. I gave it a try and within a few days I realized that mylot fulfilled a need for me being a stay at home mother. It gave me a way to have meaningful conversation during the day when my husband and oldest were at work. I keep coming back because I can learn, share and have adult conversation.

More then two minutes to type, less then two minutes to say. And the perfect lead into to why you participate in both activities, when someone asks you for more information that is. So you could say something like, Oh, I just got an extra 20$ into my PayPal account, to a friend or a neighbor. Most will respond Why did they do that. And you can tell them your story. Some of course will say, "And how is the weather where you live". Same if someone expresses interest in Tupperware. Do you have any sentences for enticing people to ask you about Tupperware that you can use. I can only think of a few varied first sentences off the top of my head, my favorite one recently was in the Big Al Report this week. - "Why your employer may be a dream-sucking vampire." and another good one was "Become a super parent by starting your own home business." Sincerely and With Appreciation.
