**Four Weeks Later**

Husband: "Great news! I've got over 100 people in my power line and now I qualify for a commission check that should be here shortly."

Wife: "Finally! On 100 people how big will your check be?"

Husband: "Well only 3 people actually bought any products so my first check should be $38 and some change."

Wife: "But you spent $49 to get into this darned thing!"

Husband: "Don't worry honey. I'm branching out so that we can get multiple streams of income. I heard that Big Online Bookstore has an affiliate program where you just send people to their site and if they buy anything you automatically get commissions!"

Wife: "I'm warning you! Something has to change here. I'm getting sick of this I tell you."

Husband: "Don't worry. With the MLM and affiliate program I'm sure things will turn around."

**Three Months Later**

Wife: "You received a check in the mail today from Big Online Bookstore. Open it so we can go cash it. Finally your hard work is paying off. How many people did you say you sent that bought books?"

Husband: "The last 3 months I've sent people to their site who've purchased over $1000 worth of books! Let's rip this baby open and head to the bank!"

Wife: "What's wrong, honey? How much is the check for?"

Husband: "$69.15."

Wife: "I'm going to STTRRAAAAANNNGGLLEE you!"
