Best stop right there, cuz getting your friends involved in such a thing is likely to get you either sued or abandoned/avoided by your relatives/friends like the worst.

btw, its not a good pyramid scheme if anyone except the top rank knows the mechanics of the thing.

Hold on. You're missing an integral part of the equation. Who's going to buy a box of candy for $30?

I'm sure your 14 year old friends are amazing salesmen. The money they will make for you will be phenominal.

And if they really are such great salesmen, what stops them from breaking away and earning 100% of the profit since they are doing all the hard work?

Maybe you can team up, and internationalize the business.

No you open the box sell each candy inside for a dollar each. Its got snickers and reeses etc. And it is completely legal. I just make money from it. And good friends want a little bit of money and know i need money so theyre helping me out, Everyone in highschool wants candy. And last year i sold with the boyscouts(no-one knew it was for them) but i sold 23 boxes of candy. My friend from another school (selling now) sold 26. And my other friend and his cousin, my friend goes to my school but completely different classes, so he gets one side of school i get the other almost. Same at the other school, my friend is a senior and my other friends cousin is a sophmore so 2 different regions of school.


Oh and you need to know where to buy the candy to sell it. And every one knows where to but it wont help him. You have to register and pay monthly or whatever...So i got my connection with a membership

Basically where you send out workers to sell stuff and you make a lot of money. But most trick and scam people into it.


Although i am doing a little differently each of them knows all the specifics, and im working along with them

So they already know you are getting all the money.

Well I want to start a little factory, let me know when they are unemployed.

That's why I referred to it as network marketing (reallife referred sales basically), rather than pyramid scheme (not legal and not ethical)
bad thread title btw, likely might raise a red flag.

I just sit on a chair all day and pass people chocolate bars and cigarettes with the occasional grocery shopper. Best part, they come to me and I make $$$$ Every time some kid comes up to me on the street selling chocolate bars I just laugh in their face Sounds mean, yeah, but with the prices they tell me I can't help but laugh...
