I think a lot of people have successful home party businesses using primarily facebook and other social media

That's exactly what it is - railroading! I don't know about men going to actual home parties, but I can see them getting sucked into the online parties when a "host" decides to invite everyone on their friends list regardless of gender or interest.

I don;t know if it is much the same but I've seen a company host an online convention to pitch their goods, using Skype and IM with a website. It really didn't work well because the online system formed a barrier between the users. There wasn't any of the social part or a chance to chat privately to other visitors about it, rather than to the sales rep.FrankN wrote: The one I did was through Skype but it was not a good experience at all. I did not enjoy it.

With the online parties, it's much easier to avoid spending money on the overpriced products. I have never been involved in one of these things, whether online or in person, when the products have been reasonably priced.

Doesn't that take the party aspect of it away? I thought the point was to be in a room with other people discussing the goods, with food and drink, to get people to relax and maybe buy something they wouldn't otherwise.FrankN wrote: The one I did was through Skype but it was not a good experience at all.
