Does anyone know about the HELO fit watch company?

There is a man who wants me to pay $319 for the watch starter kit and so I'm no longer than a free user in their website. I told him I can't afford it but he keeps pressuring me. I would only make 10% commission. I think the website is HTTPS://myworldgn.store.booksandstitches.com

I signed up as a free user but can't afford the expensive kit. Any advice?

Oh Lucinda! Through some more digging I found out that HELO is affiliated with the World Global Network, which is a big MLM! Sooo the final verdict is that this COULD be an opportunity, but will require your constant investment and a huge portion of your time. VERY FEW people make a lot of money in MLMs, which is why I do not recommend them.

In fact, I found the World Global Network Income Disclosure from 2015 (https://image.slidesharecdn.com/wintpresen-150424142843-conversion-gate02/95/world-global-network-presentation-62-638.jpg?cb=1429904068) and it says that the average ANNUAL income for their participants is between $500 and 2000. That's in a year! That means best-case-scenario if you're an average participant is that you're making an extra $38/week. Considering it costs $349 or $1,149 to get started, that means you could be making only $50 profit for the whole year (or you could even end the year in the red!).

I admit I have a pretty negative opinion of MLMs, but the undeniable reality is that most people make nothing or lose money through them, so I cannot, in good conscience, recommend them to anybody!

This sounds like either an MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) scheme, or a scam. MLMs frequently require people to purchase things up front to resell them (also called Direct Sales) and almost always require the sellers to continue to purchase items that they then sell. Because of the ongoing investment required to keep up with it, I don't consider MLM opportunities to be jobs at all. A real job, in my opinion, does not require monetary investment, especially regularly.

That website you've posted doesn't seem to work, but I did find this: http://www.helosmart.com/ that appears to be a very different website than the one you posted. Are you certain this person is actually affiliated with the company? It seems like it could be suspicious!
