As far as I know this is NOT Allowed! Listing your a consultant, pics of product etc. Total violation I think! I've seen others do it on myspace as well and inquired about it some time ago! NO, NO!
 
I have a few photos on Myspace from national confernce that's it though... one of me sitting at Doris desk and the other one of me standing with Doris herself...becasue I thought they were good photos of me.... BUT NO NO advertising.... I dont' even list that I am a Pampered Chef consutlant...just a PC consultant!

I agree. That's ok. In the end, those who do things the right way will be rewarded greatly. :D
 
does she know that she is breaking the rules? I didn't know and I changed and deleted the stuff that I had on my myspace.
 
I did the same thing..... the only thing that is left is my photos... and that isn't advertising at all.
