Cash Gifting – Not MLM!

Weekends Free Thanks to Cash Gifting
Nov 15th
We just got back from a trip to Vermont to visit family. Just found this quote that sums up why we go there quite nicely:
“The family – that dear octopus from whose tentacles we never quite escape,
nor, in our inmost hearts, ever quite wish to. “ ~ Dodie Smith
I spent the weekend without Internet access which, when I was a network marketer used to drive me nuts, but now I love it. Cash gifting makes the difference.
Because I no longer have to be constantly checking for email from MLM prospects and I no longer have to spend my weekends on the phone. I really dislike that aspect of network marketing. They frame it as a means to time freedom, but in truth you become a slave to the telephone and these days, email.
With this gifting program, people who are interested do sometimes contact me directly which is fine. But a beautiful aspect of it is that they can also email or call directly into the offices of the founder and get all of their questions answered that way. So you are never left waiting and wondering. It’s a service that’s unique to this program as far as I’ve found and free for all.
I logged a lot of reading time over the weekend and am currently on Chapter 17 of “Dragonfly in Amber” the second book in the “Outlander” series by Diana Gabaldon. I posted about why I’m reading it now and not in 1991 when it was originally published, here. Now that I’ve seen the original cover art, I know why I would have walked right past this book with nary a second glance. It is marketed like a romance novel and I was never one to read those. Yes, I just admitted I judge books by their covers, lol! I think lots of people do, or they wouldn’t matter, yes? Anyway, this author didn’t need me as a reader back then to become bestselling.
Along with my book addiction (see post I linked to above if this is news to you) I have another weakness and that is for first editions of the books I really love. I can’t bring myself to spend $49 plus for this one though because of the darn cover art…pathetic I know but what can I say? Maybe I’ll get over it eventually.
I also snagged a terrific salad dressing recipe over the weekend. It’s a maple balsamic and it’s super simple. I’m using the recipe card as a bookmark right now, so hang on a sec…OK, here we go…it’s 1/4 cup (real!) maple syrup, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon oil and salt + pepper to taste. Most awesome. You might want to double it.
Anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to. Hope you had a great weekend and if you’re ready to start with this no-fee cash gifting you can do so at my other website here, anytime: New link soon.
Warmest,
Tracy
New Cash Gifting Program – I Took The Plunge
Nov 7th
I joined the cash gifting program I’ve been writing about since I launched this blog last week. I ended up with 9 paid sign-ups by the end of my 5-day challenge. So I gifted at the $500 level last night and today I have a link to share with you which I’ll get to in a minute.
When I first came across cash gifting last year and decided to participate, I was excited about the idea of simple gifting and eager to get started sharing it with others. But then something happened that took the wind out of my sails so to speak. I have a blog about MLM where I wrote about the program, and a “professional” mlmer contacted me to tell me that I seemed like a nice person but that cash gifting was illegal and I should stop immediately before I got into trouble.
She later accused me of not caring about the people I introduced to CG and not being willing to stop because I was making money. Neither were true as I had just begun when she arrived on the scene and had not even received one single gift yet. And I do care about others which is why I’m doing this and not MLM. That will PO more than a few people I know but here’s the deal:
I spent thousands and thousands of dollars chasing the network marketing dream over the past 20 years. With about $3000 total income over that time. It’s embarrassing to admit it, but there you go. Truth be told, I’m in good company because most never make real money in MLM. For fun I’ll post a list of the companies I was with in another post (to keep this one from getting too long).
So for my own peace of mind I had to make sure that I wasn’t breaking the law. I wrote this post on my other cash gifting blog and don’t intend to re-write it all again here. Suffice to say that because true cash gifting has no resemblance to these schemes I also wrote about, I am positive that I am in no way breaking any law.
So then she moved on the moral aspects of gifting which coming from a pro MLMer I found ironic and laughable. That’s for another post.
Back to this new program I just joined. The main program has 3 gifting levels ranging from $500, $1,500 and $3,500. Each level is designed so that you receive residual cash gifts from everyone that joins after you do, with no 1-up. They will also advertise for you for your first month free, and thereafter for a fee. And that’s the only fee, and it’s optional.
I love that aspect because not everyone wants to learn Internet marketing, or figure out advertising on their own. Get all of the details here:

Cash Gifting or MLM? Why I’ve Chosen the Former Over the Latter
Nov 4th
I was involved in MLM for many years with minimal success. When I first heard about cash gifting last year, like most people I was skeptical. I posted about it on my MLM blog and was verbally attacked by a network marketing “professional” who claimed that cash gifting is illegal, and that I would regret it if I continued.
Well, not being one to knowingly break the law, I put in a call to my state’s District Attorney’s office and also to the FTC to ask if cash gifting was illegal. I posted my findings on my old blog and you can read about it here: “My Cash GiftingQuest for Answers: Illegal or Not?”
I stopped gifting for awhile last year because the program I chose changed and they began implementing large admin and monthly fees that I thought were excessive. I kept looking for something though and checked out a few MLM opportunities but I just can not go there again. I have a MLM blog as well, and posted about a new (at the time) company that pretty well sums up how I feel about MLM these days: MLM Work At Home
Basically I have spent thousands to be involved with so-called legitimate network marketing home based businesses – the ones that charge you to become a rep and then force you to buy $50 or $100 or more in products per month to “qualify” for your commissions, if you manage to sell anything.
I would always be very excited and optimistic at the beginning. I did what I was told to do and had some minor success but never the massive residual income that entices most to try it in the first place. But after my last try with ITV Ventures which went out of business just as I was starting to make money, I have said “NO MORE!”
That said, I know that there are many who do cash gifting and MLM, and I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that. It is just that mlm has not been a good fit for me. I have made money with cash gifting – I have lost it with MLM. Seems a simple conclusion to do what works for me and step away from what doesn’t.
I started a new $25 cash gifting program on Monday that is a feeder for their $500 – $3500 program. So far they have exceeded what they guaranteed for paid sign-ups. If all goes well I’ll be gifting at the $500 level in a few days, and will be sharing the program here. There are no fees involved and so far it’s the only program I’ve found without any.
That’s all for now.
