I have been using some of the Forever Living products now for over four months. In particular the Aloe drink and also the Fish Oil supplement. The specific benefit that I was looking for, to feel able to go running every day has worked well.
On the whole, my knees and other joints have been considerably better despite the increased level of running. I haven't had any pain in the shins either (which I had in Jan to March 2010). I would hate to lose the ability to run every day, so I will continue using these products until I have some evidence to suggest that the benefits lessen.
In terms of using the Forever system to make an extra-income, this has not happened as yet. The people who are involved are still increadibly helpful and I am really pleased that they are able to make a good living from this enterprise. I have barely put in any effort or time into getting this reselling-partner thing working, so I also have no loss of faith in the opportunity either.
I was hoping that I would be able to acheive the sort of net results just by marketing the opportunity on the internet. So far, the search-engines have not been very forgiving to my attempts at marketing Forever on the Web. I think that (perhaps quite rightly) the google search-engine is Very tough on this Market Sector.
There are an awful lot of scams and ludicrous false expectations being touted on the web for this type of industry (sometimes known as MLM (multi-level-marketing) or otherwise known as Network Marketing. So, as yet, I have yet to gain any enquiries in this way. However, I expect that given another few months, the search-engines will start to rate my pages somewhat more highly.
There is one minor critisism that I would have about the Forever Living opportunity. They seem to email me on pretty-much daily basis. I read the first one or two to come through, but now I simply delete them before reading. Whilst I'm sure that there may be some good content in these emails, I don't have the time to read them daily (I wonder who really does?).
I think that it is a self-defeating strategy from Forever because if it was a fortnightly email then I would be more inclined to read it. The one caveat I'd place on this is that I am perfectly well aware that I am a lazy so-and-so, thus I am not perhaps the best judge on the willingness of other people to read a daily email.
