I had to quit my job

and now I must re-brand. I found out through a circle of friends that the platform I was working for wasn't exactly honest. The money was great...I got paid per minute, but the platform fees are disgusting. I had to pay $75 for a "deep" Federal background report, which is fine because my name is as pure as new fallen snow...but I also heard that it's way less than $75 for a background search/report. Then I did some searching about the payments...they say as plain as day that you get a 1099K if you make $20K or more, which is fine, but THEN I went deeper into my research and not only do they count what you make as a payout, but they count WHAT YOU MAKE THE COMPANY. So what I get paid isn't NEAR what the company is paid. I felt like the wind was knocked out of me... and THEN...within my circle of friends, it was found that some of the top-rated advisors HIRE their FRIENDS and FAMILY to go online (they pay for their calls), make a quick call with someone who is rated 5 stars, and talk for 5 mins, hang up, and give them a terrible review. It happened to me once and it rattled me because I thought it was a good reading. We were having a snowstorm and I told the lady that we were having one, and if I was disconnected because my service was wonky, I would send her 5 free minutes. After the call she wrote a horrible review and gave me a 1 star rating and wrote: THIS WOMAN WAS TRYING TO WASTE MY MONEY BY TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER. HORRIBLE READER SHE WASTES TIME. like wtf. So discouraged. Gotta rebrand again. Because I was hired at this job, I had to take my personal website down (it was a lot of money to maintain anyway) and stop advertising. What a waste. Ugh. Sorry. Just venting. 2026 sucks so far.
