    Well, so far I have Mariposa and the Toy company - anything else where I can be an agent and earn through people using my dsicount code?

    have looked at Barefoot too.

    many thanks

  • There's Phoenix Trading which I have looked into, but can't afford any start up costs at the moment. Or how about making your own jewellery or home made cards? I'd love to if I had the skill and time!
  • Also forgot to mention for a few pennies, focus groups, online surveys, mystery shopping?

    Here is something I found a while ago that sint sales as such, but more of a customer service role where knowledge of excel seems to be a must, they are basically an outsourcing recruitmant agency for something like fox bingo and if you have experience of playing they help you get a job as a chat manager, keeping an eye on chatrooms and maintaining them...

    It seems to be a lot better than sales, though you may have to sell yourself lol...

    Some experience at least in forums might be a plus, I myself am a former forum admin (current forum mod) of a major website and current player mod for one of the largest online computer games company in the world (WGBoR) so am able to demonstrate there my ability to talk to players...so dont go after the one I look at lol

    Though if you have foreign languages you will go further than me and 99% of all other applicants on those as everyone seems to want to work english lol

    Here are a couple of relevent sites to look at :)

    I once signed up for an online bingo site to explain it to a friend (doesn't exist in Poland).

    I soon wanted to kill myself. Five minutes of that was enough to make me want to throw myself into the nearest river :(

    You might want to consider PartyLite , there is no upfront start up fee and they give you a £300 kit to start you off , after you have done £300 of sales and cleared your kit you start to earn at 20% of everything you sell . Although mainly sold through parties , many consultants take orders via the catalogue or do "party in a bag" , this is lending out a bag containing scent samples , catalogues , order forms etc ( the person you lend it to then collects orders for you and then they earn commision in free products)

    I thought that the OP was looking for something with no investment and no commitment such as sales targets. Am I wrong?

    Touting for business is not allowed, and you must declare an interest.

    Why you feel it neccesary to come on and not answer the specific question but instead attack my answer i am not really sure....but each to there own..

    I made my comments because the op clearly said they were looking for something with no investment and no targets.

    You then introduced UW which has both.
