    Thanks for all the replies guys!

    Where's the DSA website?

    I'm going to phone the area manager tonight to discuss working for Avon.

    I am an avon rep, i'm not sure if they credit checked me, my rating is'nt too good!
    Its doesnt pay great money but it enables me to buy toiletries and cosmetics without even spending money, as i use my commision, (kids shampoo and bath range is lovely) plus usually have £10 to £20 cash in my hand too. bonus! :j

    I do Avon ("inherited" the round from son's GF who couldn't be bothered to do it any more). I make about £60 a time but I put very little effort in to it - I have about 25 regular customers and I look after them and put the other books out other properties- not all of them buy every month but about 8 - 12 do, and that makes me that amount. You can scout for new customers by putting the previous campaign book out to some new houses and order on back order.

    I am looking to expand my customer base a bit as I have just got my book into 3 busy offices so again, sales for very little effort. Get the books in to a workplace if you can.

    The one time I put the time in to it I made £130.00 for 1 campaign.

    Overall, you can make a fair amount for very little effort. I put the money in to my Skiing holiday fund so I can see it grow and have a purpose for it. Should make me about £1000 over the 18 campaigns, which I will be happy with as it will get OH and I on the slopes next year without breaking my budget.

    HTH, Stella xx

    Thanks Stellagypsy

    Not sure how much I'll make but was thinking of just putting it in a piggy bank and getting a nice surprise one day :rotfl:


    Seriously It will be nice to earn a bit of my "own" money to contribute to house expenses.....
