I want to place a newspaper ad to see if anyone is looking to make some extra money with little $ for start up.
So....
1- Has anyone already done this?
2- Is this with in our contract as ok?
3- What have you put in the ad as wording if you have done this?
4- Has it got any feedback for you?

Please answer me on this everyone!!!! I am really feeling frustrated with everything being so tight right now and some insight would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!

I am very interested in doing this also. I found this ad on this site I posted it below...(I can't remember who I got it from but Thank You)...My director was just telling me to maybe add a little bit about what PC is all about...
I have been searching on consultant's corner and I can't find anywhere that says we are not able to do this...
If you decide to do it...Good luck...I am still deciding if I should...I think it would be worth it..I'm open for anyone suggestions also..

Here is the ad
If you love your boss, and enjoy working 9-5 for someone else for less than your worth, THEN DO NOT CALL ME! However, if you have ever thought of owning your own business, setting your own hours, getting praised on a weekly basis and earning a free trip each year then you owe it to yourself to try a Pampered Chef apron on for size!
Looking for team players to work the hours YOU want to work. LOW start up cost with TONS of incentives! Whether you want to work one day a month for discounted products or wish to make a career for yourself, The Pampered Chef will fit any lifestyle.
