When Kurt Cummings was handed a “Success From Home†magazine by a man during an airplane flight several months ago, his first reaction was politely telling the man he wasn’t interested.
Cummings already had a job as a teacher and wasn’t interested in investing in a home-based, “network-marketing†type of business.
“There are good companies that say you are going to make a lot of money, but you have to invest a lot of money,†he said.
But Cummings decided to take a second look. And more than six months later he has been a part of 5linx, a company that sells internet, telephone and security services. On Saturday he was one of 30 vendors, from cosmetics to natural foods and service-related products, at the Home-Based business Expo at the Manatee Convention Center, promoting their companies.
The Home-Based Business Expo was organized by Malaika Morris, who operates Pre-Paid Legal Services from her home. With so many people out of work and even looking for ways to supplement their income, Morris saw the expo as a good opportunity to introduce people to “network marketing.â€
“There are always job fairs, but never anything specifically for people that want to earn extra income,†said Morris. “Especially with the economy, there are not a lot of jobs out there. I wanted to give people an option to make additional income.â€
