LEGENDARY MARKETER POSITION: marketer NATURE: Freelance Digital Marketing - health and fitness products INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 10 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 03/21/2022 ADDRESS: 145 Gillespie Avenue, Middletown DE 19709, United States DESCRIPTION: This is for freelance digital marketing involving the sale of health/fitness products I will market. I am an independent contractor. There are ZERO requirements or expectations of work hours and commissions paid if earned. It is designed to be a passive income stream. It is in no way related to my insurance and investment sales role. I will be "running" a website facilitating sales. I will only work on this site during non-working hours. It is more of a hobby that I am working on with my children. It will have zero impact on the work I am doing with Bankers Life Securities and BLAS.
