Hello world! Are you ready to learn how to make a fortune with Miracle Fruit Plants?
Hello to everyone in the whole world, or at least the ones who speak English. My blog is going to focus on Miracle Fruit Plants and how I intend to make a small fortune raising them inside my home in Washington state. If you’ve never heard of Miracle Fruit, it is an extremely slow growing tropical plant that produces red berries two or three times during the year, but not until it is about two years old. If you eat the berry, it tricks your taste buds somehow and anything acidic that you eat afterward for an hour or so (grapefruit, lemons, limes) will taste sweet. This is how I intend to make about $50,000 in the spring of 2012: I will buy a few hundred seeds every month, but they won’t all germinate; my goal is to have 1,000 full-grown, berry-producing plants to sell in three years. They will sell for about $50-75 each and people will buy them and pay that price because they are extremely hard to find locally (most are sold as very small seedlings on E-bay and they are very expensive). I am going to raise the plants for three years to make sure they are quality plants producing beautiful berries, then instead of selling a seedling for $19.95, I’ll be selling berry-producing plants for top dollar. Most will be sold locally on Craigslist, or from my front yard in the spring. I would welcome those of you who want to do this project as well, and will gladly provide all of the information you need in later posts.
This should be interesting. I wonder how much you’ve invested in this, and how long it will be before you realize you’ve bought into a fad that is essentially a scam. There’s nothing like watching somebody slowly realize that get-rich-quick schemes just don’t work. At least what you earn from Today will help make up for it.
If you are reading this and thinking it is a get-rich-quick scheme, I have not made myself clear enough. I’m looking at this as a three-year project at the end of which I will make some money. A “fad” would be more like a pet rock, not a plant that has clearly not been studied enough to know the benefits it might hold for us in the future. It’s no fad.
I consider it a fad in the sense that by the time your plants are grown, interest in them will have fallen off and the prices you anticipate won’t exist. But I do wish you the best of luck. I hate to see anybody throw their money away, and only the future will tell whether you’ve done that or not.
