What do you think of making money just by talking about alternative energy systems for a home or automobile?

This is a theoretical question. I believe there are a lot of people who would like to do something to help the envoironment and make a positive contribution, but they don't know how they could afford to make a real tangible contribution. They are just struggling along financially themselves. Suppose you could join an ';Ecological-Network'; and have an opportunity to simply talk about viable alternatives in energy systems and lifestyle and make money when the people you talk to also join the Eco-Network? There are no minimum purchases, no inventory, no recurring monthly purchases, no financial obligations of any kind (I hate that kind of stuff). It would be simple....you join by purchasing a ';T'; shirt or ball cap, coffee mug, or bumperstickers (your choice). They all say something like...';I drive on Nuclear Fusion (Sun Power) Ask me how';. or, ';There are homes that use no fossil fuel for heating or cooling, ask me about it.'; When someone you spoke to joins, you get a referral fee. If they enroll someone, they get a referral fee and so do you, etc. through five levels of referrals. The ';T'; shirts, coffee mugs, ball caps, bumper stickers are all about alternative zero energy homes and electric cars and solar panels. There are companies who offer these alternatives to the public. The ';plot'; is to make these alternatives known to more people. When someone who joined the Eco-Network found someone who bought from one of the companies, that person and all his referres above him would get a ';finder's fee'; based on the value of the sale. You help connect people who are in a position to make a tangible difference in their purchases with an alternative product company. Does that sound like a concept that you think people would be interested in supporting? I just want some input on the ';idea'; the ';Eco-Network'; does not exist at this time. www.isomax-az.com has a start on this idea, but there are no ';T'; shirts, etc. available yet...it's just an idea...What do you think of the idea?What do you think of making money just by talking about alternative energy systems for a home or automobile?
Pyramid Scam... These are illegal. AmWay and all kinds of organizations got busted back in the 1980's on schemes like these. The whole idea is to promote the ranks so you get a percentage of the takes, but the whole idea is to get people to buy into ';Memberships'; or ';Brokers'; or some special unique rank that has to be paid, and then when you sign people under you, you get a small percentage of what they pay. I think the last one I heard was an insurance scheme like this where you could make a million dollars in seven years after getting enough people under you. The only people who really make the money are the ones at the very top, like the ones who start it.What do you think of making money just by talking about alternative energy systems for a home or automobile?
Alternative fuel is a joke. With all the alternative fuels added together they will not produce 1 million barrels per day...
Not for me. I just talk to people as the subject comes up on a casual basis; to exchange ideas.
That is like a pyramid or ponzi scheme. Illegal.
I'd like to ask why you wasted your time doing that...
there are several networks out there - permaculture, transition towns, LETS, food co-ops etc.





however there is no money in this. those that care and are developing solutions are generally not those with power (money) in the current system.


The solution to the industrial growth society is not though buying into a consumer led greenwash variation
