People also tend to lean heavily on their personal social network, which often alienates them from their personal friend base. And has limited supply before the success you do get from that runs out.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoAnd don't forget that you're often not the first one in your network to start peddling this garbage. My parents did it for awhile, after being turned onto it by another woman in the small town we lived in. But guess what? That same woman was already selling to 90% of our potential customers. Everyone who was going to buy a case of Glister toothpaste already had one sitting in their garage; who were we supposed to sell to? The answer to the rhetorical question is, nobody. We brushed our teeth with our shitty investment for about a year, then wrote the whole thing off as a failed experiment that luckily didn't bankrupt us.
