Important caveat

To earn any income, someone must sell the product — bring in paying customers. This is not easy for the average person hoping they'll make money in the first week or two. As usual, it's the 90-10 rule. 10% of the people bring in 90% of the money because they sell, recruit and keep their customers. PS These numbers include everyone who signed up — even just to look.
