Simply Fun

So if you're a friend of mine on Facebook, you're probably sick of hearing about Simply Fun.

I really like this company, and I have a great time playing their games. Their mission is to promote the value and power of play in out everyday lives, and they use a direct sale/party model to do it.

I had signed up years ago to be a rep for them, but was never able to devote the time and energy to it that it deserved. I now have said time and energy, so I'm giving it another shot. I don't think I'll exactly hit the ground running, but I'll do all right. I think once I have some momentum going, the business will pretty much build itself. Playing games is my natural habitat and anyone who knows me knows that if the "product" is right, I'm a natural salesman. If it's something I like and believe in.

I think what I like most about this one is that I don't actually have to "sell" anything. All I have to do is introduce the company, the games, the various host benefits and rep opportunities, and then we play games. The best way to sell a game is to have people play it. It's a win-win situation, really.

You would think that in this economy, people wouldn't be purchasing games, but it seems that board game sales are on the rise as people spend more time at home and less time going out. It's actually cheaper to buy a $50 game than to go out every weekend. It's kinda weird how that's working out. This whole past decade has seen events that influenced families to stay in and get closer and spend more time with each other. And also in an economy where it's hard to get a job and people are getting laid off, if you can afford the startup money, you can start building your own business. Not that I have any illusions, but it'd be nice if this pulled in a bit of side money to help me get rid of my credit cards once and for all. I'm not entirely crazy enough to dream of it replacing my full-time job, but anything's possible. You just have to get out there and do it.

Anyway, I'm excited for this. I think it's going to be a lot of fun, and maybe even turn out to be something I'm good at. If you're interested in hosting a party, or joining me as a Simply Fun rep (I'd say host a party first to get to know the games), let me know. This company has been around a while, and I'd say it's pretty darn legitimate, not like most MLM/direct sale companies *cough*cough*knives*cough*phone service*cough*, and it's a product people won't balk at on sight.

I'm gonna go play some games now.
