A bit harsh don't you think. She was just asking "why, who and what". I think it's very reasonable to ask what anyone is doing with any fee we are asked to pay.CynthiaJohnson83 said:
We don't know what others are dealing with in their lives. They may love this site but be struggling to even get groceries.
There was a time that my kids and I lived on eggs and macaroni & cheese for several meals each week because I just didn't have the money for much else. I sure wouldn't have had the $5 for something like a web subscription at that time and I know there are consultants out there now who are in that boat.
I don't think any of those who have objected to paying did so because they thought the site wasn't worth it. They just don't have the extra $$ right now.

No I'm not the only consultant in the state, I wish though! I live in a small town in Ohio. I travel to Penn, West Virginia and Ky for shows too. Those are usually done on the weekends. I have some very loyal host!! 2 girls that were in my cluster have stopped selling PC so I recevied a lot of their business, which was great for me! I also have my business cards at the local grocery store, magnetic signs on my card, ads that run in the local advertisement sections of the local papers, and my GREAT promoter, my husband. If I don't say things to people he will about my business. My pasythost are great for getting me shows too. I just called a girl today and she said she wasn't doing another one at this time but her sister was wanting to do one. I do make phone calls and keep a open line of communcation with my hosts and guest. I did a show for a girl and she told me her cousin in Texas wants me to do a show for her. I am doing a book show for her. Sorry so long but just a little info. !
