Hello everyone, I want to work from home, but most companies want a big upfront payment or they require a lot of time. Does anyone out there know of any companies that they could recommend? I was wondering if anyone knows anything about avon? Also, any companies that people have tried and not liked and, reason why, would be helpful also. Thank you very much!

I have to say that I absolutely love and would recommend thirty-one gifts as a company to work for. When I joined in 2011, I saw a catalog and wanted a few bags, I also needed to earn so extra money, I wanted to start selling something but didnt want to invest in any company that required stock or a big start up payment. When I saw it was only $99 to join, I decided I had nothing to lose.

A couple years into it and I have more confidence and have met so many wonderful people. I would love to share more of my story with you.

Please go to my website and if you have questions contact me.

I also have an Herbalife business. Which is cellular nutrition along with weight loss, weight gain and weight maintenance. So for me it working both inside and outside of a person!
Check out my website:
https://www.goherbalife.com/get-healthy-today/en-US
This business is more on the phone, calling those interested in mainly weight loss. But by letting them know about the other options they usually refer people to you. I advertise myself, so flyers and newspaper ads, word of mouth, help get the ball rolling on this one. Plus, using the products yourself always helps too! Email me for more information!

Most home based businesses are going to take you time and money to advertise and get YOUR name out there as the Representative to use.

Avon is a great seller but there are a lot of lines and the products change each month with each campaign book. Some products sell out fast and customers can get upset about this! Nothing you can do Limited means Limited! If you can keep all the lines straight, collect first, you should do well. Nice thing is no up front money for inventory. I'm not sure what the sign up fee is these days. But most people won't call you to place an order you have to do a lot of leg work to get them to place that order and have the money up front! OTHER WISE, AT DELIVERY YOU COULD BE STUCK WITH THE ITEM AND LOSING MONEY! I did Avon years ago and learned that the hard way! Get a Pro Pay account and you can call in a credit card right then! Good Luck.

I personally like the Mary Kay Cosmetics line, I use it myself. Now there is a $100. plus tax and shipping fee. But you get a kit of over $440 dollars of products You have 30 days to invest into inventory. In the mean time hold 3 classes a week with 3 people and you will be set in business selling products and making money! Interested contact me or visit my website http://www.marykay.com/cbalante/ for Mother's Day gifts May 12, 2013. EMAIL ME FOR MORE INFORMATION!

Hello,
I would highly recommend Melaleuca. I personally worked for Avon previously, and I like their products, but from a business stand point, it was not that profitable, and I had to receive the returned items. Melaleuca is an excellent company to work with , and you do not have to receive any returns, just simply refer people to the Wellness Membership, and you can show the short presentation over your home computer. Small fee for Membership kit only $29.00. Contact me at: (510) 830-8453. Janel (Helping Mothers Spend more time with their Children.)

Hi
I have experience both as a small business owner (www.white-weddings.org & www.thegardenbridalfair.com) and as an Independent consultant for a networking company. My wedding and special event business is very successful. Absolutely no complaint, I love what I do. But I have to say that this is much harder to do than my part time job.

Check out my website to see who I am and feel free to contact me if you have any questions about starting your own business or doing a network marketing business.
Below are the website for my personal business (not the networking business)

Stay at home Mothers are insanely busy and needs a job that can work with their main job. Being a mother.
I own a business that I started from scratch and I also recently joined an amazing Networking Skin Care business. I joined this company because I already use their products and already refer them to family and friends, it was a good fit, so I decided to become a consultant. I truly believe that if you want to do a network marketing business then you should have a clear goal for yourself. Don't get in the hype. Do your research like you would if you were an entrepreneur.
So below are some of the things you need to consider:
1) how much money can I invest in my own business
2) how much marketing funds should I keep aside
3) how much time do I really have to spend on this business every day? (10 hours/day) or when (the baby is asleep)
4) is the business child friendly? - after all you have children as well
5) will you get support from your upline, will she be there for you even for the smallest question
6) how reputable is the company - do an actual market research, don't go on line and look at post from people who may not have been successful, so they are bitter, remember that only about 10% of the people that go into online marketing becomes successful. So, you get what you reap, this is the same for any type of business.
7) are you goal oriented?, Results oriented and approachable?
8) What is your financial goal what are you working towards - write that down and clearly define it
9) Remember that network marketing means exactly that, the more associates you have the better for you and if you are internet savvy, even better
10) You have realistic expectations.

If you want to ask any questions about either being an entrepeneur ( www.white-weddings.org) or if you want to know about my network marketing business. I would be happy to send over some information for you to review.

Take care

I've started an online Boutique called Womens Fashion Boutique. I'm enjoying customizing my Boutique, filling it with products, and writing reviews. The cool thing is, I'm actually earning money in the process! In fact, I make up to 25% on every sale.

The transactions are all online so all I have to do is pick the pieces I think my friends will love. My website does the marketing and shipping for me. It's totally flexible, so it fits into my busy schedule.

I think this would be a great opportunity for you, too. It's completely free to sign up. Check it out at http://womensfashionboutique.kitsylane.c...

If you're interested or have questions, let's chat more about it so I can fill you in on the details.

Talk soon,

Pamela,

If you do NOT have a product and are just recruiting people to sell more recruiting and not a product that is a Pyramid Scheme.



There are legitimate companies out there to have at home businesses.

Avon, Mary Kay, Arbonne, Pampered Chef, Xpress Healthcare, US Born Books.

Just to name a few.



If you are looking to start your own business with your own products or services I recommend Fabienne Fredrickson and the Client Attraction Workshop. She is a Mentor and it cost money to invest in her programs and products but they are worth it. You also get a lot for FREE from her. If you want her website information you can go to my FaceBook wall and click the link.



I have worked for AmeriPlan and they are not a good company. Their integrity is zero. You can see why at Rip Off Report, or AmeriPlan Fires 900. Both articles can be Googled.



I now work for Xpress Healthcare and they are a good company.

I have worked Mary Kay Cosmetics they are good. You just need to have a circle of friends who will spend to get you started or spend yourself for products to have that you can sell.

And build outwards that way. Some have great success others it takes longer. Different variables for each.

Avon is good but a lot of products change all the time and I did not like that.

Plus, if you don't collect ahead for orders you can get stuck paying for it or ruining your credit with the company. I got stuck with over a hundred dollar order and could NOT afford to pay it at the time. Lesson Learned! CASH UPFRONT. Checks can bounce....if you take checks wait a week before you order to be sure they clear!



Herbalife is another one that is good but not a lot of people have heard of them even though they have been around for years.



Always investigate.

Rip Off Report

Google

BBB A+ means NOTHING it is a purchased rating!

IF they say you will make is a short period of time....GET RICH QUICK!!! RUN AWAY!!!

NO ONE CAN TELL YOU WILL MAKE X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS....IT DEPENDS ON YOU AND YOUR WORK ETHIC!





GOOD LUCK.

I HOPE THAT HELPS.

Pamela,

Hi, Avon is a good company. I worked for them years ago.

There is NO start up cost. However, be sure to PAY YOUR BILL on time

or it can cause you problems. THIS MEANS, GET THE PAYMENT UP FRONT FROM YOUR CUSTOMERS! DO NOT WAIT TO DELIVER AS THEY CAN CANCEL AND THEN YOU OWE FOR THE PRODUCTS!



FYI--MAKE SURE THE CHECK CLEARS FIRST!

TALK TO YOUR BANK ABOUT THIS MATTER.

SET UP A SEPARATE ACCOUNT FROM YOUR FAMILY ACCOUNT!



I did it backwards both times as I was not really with an up-line either time. I was young and did not understand the field of network marketing.

I did all the mistakes above and more.

I was over whelmed by all the changing products and the "FREE" items you are sent...they CHARGE YOU FOR NEXT TIME! So SELL THEM!

OR ASK NOT TO HAVE THEM SENT TO YOU...if that is an option still!

Some have meetings you can go to and win products to sell!



THE BOOK:

YOUR FIRST YEAR IN NETWORK MARKETING By: Mark Yarnell, Rene Reid Yarnell

This your best bet first!



I am always looking for New Talent.

GOOD LUCK,

I began my Mary Kay business a month and a half ago and I am absolutely loving it!! Mary Kay sells itself!! Everywhere I go I pull out my catalogue and the girls are telling me what they need. It's a one time start up fee of $100 which is a super cute bag with $400 worth of skin care and makeup and you earn 50% commission from your sales no matter who you are or how much you sell! In my first month I sold $2300 so that's $1150 in my pocket!! If you have any questions or are thinking about joining feel free to contact me.

Although this post is old, I would HIGHLY recommend It Works Global. A company that I strongly believe is becoming the next household brand name in the next 10 years. This business is flowing rapidly and it's all about timing when concerning network marketing companies. Although Avon is great, it has been around for quite a while, and if you are looking to make thousands or even millions with a company, you really have to consider it's credibility, the product(s) -is there something that sets us apart?, the affordability of it, is it a part of a huge trend, and the timing...are you entering too soon, just right, or too late? The timing of your company is the just right! But you don't want to miss it! You Pamela, or anyone else reading this can contact me with the info below:

I don't know if you have heard of Freeway to Success. The great thing about this is that it is only $10 to join and $5 a month. You get prescription and restaurant discounts with this membership, plus grocery coupons and free E books. But the really great thing is that they offer an awesome compensation plan. There is no sponsoring required, but the more you do, the more commissions you make. This is not something to expect millions from, but making $1000-$4000/month is very reachable. Check out my website: www.cela.freewaytosuccess.net
