Dude. Really? These people gave you a way to earn bucketloads of points, and commissions to boot, for what can be a relatively great return on your time (everyone's time is worth different amounts [financially], and you need to decide that for yourself). They spoonfeed you everything, including the actual deals to buy. So, therefore, it's the opportune time to make all the money they made through building their respective businesses, because "why smile and make our $10 commission"?
If you have that attitude, then you can question anything profitable you've ever undertaken, and apply it. Like, "Why earn points from a bank by swiping credit cards when I can just invent PayPal and charge people instead?" Or, "Why buy electronics from a wholesaler when I can just manufacture it myself?"
Now, this is not necessarily a terrible attitude in life, if you choose one specific industry, as people do it, and sometimes become very rich and successful in the process. But it's not a legitimate question to ask yourself before deciding if you should join a spending group, or any other profitable venture. The profit, no matter how fat, that someone else earns through leveraging your time and effort shouldn't be in the equation of whether it's worth your time. The only thing that matters, in a market transaction, is what YOU will earn, and whether it's worth it for YOU.
"I am not at all jealous of the 'big man in the tower' who MUST be making more because I only get $10..... " that is not what I am thinking.
The people who make change are people who like to learn and see if they can do it better....its good to ask questions.
And my original question was trying to hone in on two points...
1. Is there is any risk of doing this (I am fine with just being a part of the group and trying to spend to reach some point goals I have set?
But also 2. I am a very curious individual (and it has helped me immensely in life) so when something is so secret I like to try to get a better understanding.
I don't have any 'attitude' or at least hope I don't
Everyone else is just minding their business willing to buy the deals and i'm asking the key questions....a) is this legit and b) how is it done.........not so I can copy it but because of its kind of rare nowadays for people to be running massive business operations shrouded in secrecy.
'exporting to countries' what does that even mean? Why are people so private about it?
