Kleeneze

[D1bram]

Just after anyones experienced opinion of kleeneze and their 'opportunity'.

We all have our preformed and possibly prejudiced opinions (myself including), but I was wondering if anyone had any actual experience; good or bad.

Reasoning behind this is the wife only works part time (3days per week), and whilst she is on a reasonable rate for the work she does more money is always a good thing and she does have quite a bit of spare time on her hands.

We had a flyer through the door recently and she's interested in taking this up; I would also probably lend a hand too of a weekend as there are times I do nothing particularly productive!

Obviously, I'm a little sceptical, BUT I can see the logic behind it and a quick search on t'internet shows a lot of people doing ok at this kind of thing.

We don't expect to make millions over night on this, but in the long term an extra £1k/month on our income would put us in a very comfortable position.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies folks, basically echoing a lot of our concerns with this scheme there.

To be clear though, I think it is fairly obvious that to make decent money you would need to sell the scheme on and become part of the pyramid - this tbh is not really for us, we are not the type to try and recruit all and sundry or drive round with tacky posters in the car etc...

I can see how it could work though, but it's not for us.

This though;

The OP's missus might be better delivering free papers. I deliver 700 a week which takes about five hours and I get 10p a paper on average - that's about £14 an hour. I would say that it keeps me fit as well but it just gives me an appetite really...

Is similar to what she originally fancied doing, and infact we have done similar before delivering Ikea and yellow pages etc.

My Dad retired early a few years back, and now has several regular rounds with various publications and makes a good pension top up income with it.

I picked a couple of rounds up off him a few years back and me and the wife spent the odd weekend on it. It was in the summer and fairly enjoyable 'none brain' work, we went out early saturday and sunday mornings, so it was nice and quiet and we were finished before lunchtime genrally. And working probably 10 hours each over the weekend made around £300 (less a little bit of fuel).

Unfortunately we now live 100miles away, so beyond any of my Dads contacts for this kind of work.

The wife has also considered eBaying, and again has done this in the past with Equine supplies (a subject on which she is knowledgable). Again though, she used to have good contacts where we used to live so got to know about liquidation sales etc...

I think we need to put in a bit of footwork and just go with one of the above tbh.

It's just a stop gap, as long term I want to set up on my own, a venture which would also include her, but in the meantime as I say a bit of extra income will improve our standard of living no end.

Funny enough she has a friend who does that, and has an established business. Her friend has previously offered use of her business name to set up in our area (as she herself does not cover quite that far).

The wife is very into animals and has an interest in dogs in particular.

Our concern though is people expect the service every day of the week, and the 2 days a week she is not in work just wouldn't be good enough.

We have considered her giving up her job altogether to set up (going off what her friend earns - and believe me she does not maximise the potential), but it is a huge risk.

So basically we have been considering alsorts, and are open to new suggestions, everything from a few hours home working to a complete new career she would consider.
