Some have raved of Craiglist and I just had to check it out. I found this part time job listing.( For some extra cash.) Whats your opinion on this. I'm hesitant to try it but it is tempting.
Thanks Miguel

It's called a Ponzi Scheme.
More recently, a Pyramid scam.
It's a great hustle if you are the one starting it out.
A loser for the one at the end.
You never know where you sit, unless you start it!
It is illegal and could be prosecuted.

Just strolling through but the Oprah and Street Journal thing got my attention. things are slow for me. As an employee, I'm off till Jan. And from what I here opposite of yall, we got some exteriors lined up. As a man of faith, I could state " I've got the blessing of the Lord." thats a little Lakewood church action for ya. :thumbsup:

LMAO!!! "This is my bible, I am what it says I am, I can do what it says I can do". Ohhh, hell, I mean, heck no! When I was IL last month, our weekly prayer meetings were about Joel. One of our members is hooked man, I mean hooked. lol.

Anyway, you need to place an ad on craigslist, not answer them. Don't say you need money for christmas or anything else. Just advertise your work, experience and ethics. If you really want to stand out, just ad a tag line that says, "I am what it says I am". You'll get work. Not kidding.

Merry Christmas

Being a man of faith is great. I too have great faith, obviously sometimes it's challenging...

but beware of 'blind faith'...you know, the kind of faith that blinds you into thinking you can do whatever you want or not do anything and God will just work it out

just beware of that mentality...I sometimes had it when my business was still around...footwork is the key to more work :thumbsup:
