    I also work for Silverline Jewellery and I love it! The jewellery virtually sells itself - so no long drawn out presentations and NO hard sell!.

    I'm a bit of a magpie, this sounds good - i can't travel very far though, but saw you can do online consulting? how does this work? do you earn very much from them?
    I really need extra cash, and as much as possible, we are struggling so much to get by on a dmp.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts! :T

    This is my timey-wimey detector.
    It goes ding when there's stuff.

    I have a friend who sells cambridge diet, her turnover in her first year was over 20k, she is properly self employed and has an accountant who does her books annually after all her expenses were taken in to consideration her tax bill was tiny - and this was her second income she walked a way in her first year with over 13k profit.

    The drinks are sold for practically double what she pays for them, she ran this business evening and weekends along side a normal 35 hour working week, she did work hard doing it and really enjoys it.

    You will need to undertake a training course and obviously pay for this and then have enough money to buy initial stock - she has made heaps of money considering!

    I also sell jewellery - Miglio Jewellery. I've found that most of my sales come directly from wearing the range as I'm out and about and I always carry a book with me. I've been doing it for just over 1 year now and have managed to pay myself about £1000 over that time. I've also got quite a lot of stock though so I guess if I hadn't bought as much I probably would have earned around £3000 - £4000.

    I do find that certain times of the year are busier than others though - September, October and November are amazing months.
