Working from home
August 31st 2007 19:36
When you’re out of work you look at every opportunity going, even things that you might not follow through.
I’ve just come across the Foxy Jewelry site. It’s a kind of franchise affair (not to take off Josephine Tey - write me if you don’t understand the joke) and involves you paying a large sum of money upfront to get stock in order to sell to customers online, or in any form of direct to face-to-face selling. Foxy doesn’t go for the long-winded letter full of testimonials, the sort of letter that doesn’t actually tell you what the product is. (Though the letter isn’t short, either.) With Foxy you can check out the product(s) before you sign up because there are already people selling these goods on the Net. So they do exist, and they do have substance - unlike those ‘businesses’ that turn out to be scams, where you pay for something and then have to sell the same ‘nothing’ to other chumps.
The aim of Foxy is to provide the purchaser with a home based business. And yes, you do have to pay some money to get started - but so you do if you take up any real franchise. The sum in this case is US$497 and though that’s not pipsqueaks, it’s nothing like the figure I was given when I made inquiries about a business originating in Australia that sold tools from large pre-set-up vans. (I think it was in the region of $25,000, but that may be on the low side.) And with Foxy’s $497 you should be able to make a profit of around 200% overall.
That’s pretty reasonable. And unlike many of the scam businesses, Foxy has an FAQ section, and a blog, so you can see who else is involved, and read what they've got to say about the job.
Anyway, I probably won’t be taking up the Foxy jewellery offer, because it seems that I’ve had an offer from somewhere else: from a friend in my hometown, to do a job that begins as soon as I get back. A job that’s just up my alley. So how’s that? God hadn’t forgotten me after all!
