    Flexible & Portable. Up to 5k per Sale.

    Has anyone actually applied for one of these jobs and making money? Whatever they are offering. I got in contact with them and they called me back. They asked me questions like what did I want to earn and my goals. Everytime I asked them what the job entailed they would skip to something else. Are these adds just a scam?

    I always presume these things are just Pyramid Schemes !!
    they will sell you "the opportunity" and you get to sell "the opportunity" to as many as you like.. Load of rubbish..
    If they had a product to sell it would be advertised... not just a photo of that ape in the blue shirt !

    I think its "business coaching". I guess you pay 5k to learn how to do it then charge other people upto 5k for you to teach them the same.

    Pyramid scheme it is so.
    No actual goods of value being traded. No intellectual property of value.

    It's a matter of pay them €5k and they'll tell you how to scam €5k from other suckers just like you.

    Your looking to get into something to make some money I see from your various posts the last few weeks. My advice to you would be to look for inspiration in something you already have knowledge about. Trying to force a business and looking at random ideas is a tricky road, and much harder to make something stick. You just end up jumping from one idea to the next. When you are inspired by something, you are more driven to make it work.

    OP, steer clear of anything that hides what the opportunity is, or requires you to pay for costly training before starting.

    I recommend reading Starting Your Business & Starting a Business in Ireland, both by Brian O'Kane. You'll find it it every library in the country if you don't want to buy it, and check out the rest of the business section while you're there.

    You can also a Start Your Own Business course with most of the local enterprise offices - check out https://www.localenterprise.ie to find yours and give them a call and ask them if they are running any soon. If they're not you'll find those courses run privately in the cities on a very regular basis.

    Also have a read back through 10 or 15 pages of this forum, there's a wealth of knowledge and ideas to be picked up from the discussion threads here.

    HTH.
