Betterware

  • I delivered Betterware 29 years ago, when I was still a schoolkid. I did really well and my earnings were always double figures, sometines over £20 a time....a rather large fortune in those days.

    I'm glad to hear it's still working for peeps, I liked the no cost/outlay option of it, and the idependent territory. The paperwork was quite straightforward, and I also thought the pay was generous, as lots of the stuff isn't cheap cheap, so value of orders was usually good.
    Not just a sucker for sweeties..:o
  • in 4 weeks i have smashed £1000 in sales! VERY happy - just off to collect some more in! the extra cash is certainly useful! xx

    I looked into this the other night and also researched Kleeneze and it all depends how good your upline is and how friendly they are....

    I am doing neither. I am doing Wikaniko....MLM with a heart. Eco friendly products.

    Starting off small. Doing the training course and working on web sales. That's what my upline said to do (and she is lovely). So when I have a a few spare quid I need to get a domain name registered. I already have a website. They did that within an hour of signing up. But it's a complicated url..

    If you google wikaniko you'll find lots of good reviews. If you look @ the online catalogue you'll see what I mean. If you google Betterware or Kleeneze you'll find 75% against, 25% for approx and the pluses are ones who've made money

    Also your labels for your catalogues on wikaniko they tell where to get from cheap and what to put on them and you can download stationery and there's just SOOO much to learn on that website. There's loads of help - mostly online. And you get more commission (35% -40%). Catalogue are about same price as K (if you get both of them). I'm really excited. I don't expect to earn mega bucks tomorrow but really excited about this.

    How I found it I have no idea! I still have to check out what paperwork I need for benefit agency but being on frugal living I log everything money wise so shouldn't be a prob.

    Sorry to a slight damp squib in the debate. Just maybe worth considering if not as an alternative as a an add on to Betterware. Start up costs aren't cheap but not extortionate either. (currrently at time of posting £48)...

    I agree its a good product line at wikaniko the only thing i don't like is having to pay for orders yourself and then get money off customer especially on brochure drops.....cancelled orders etc stuck with stock and they don't like you returning it...thats my only neg really :(

    Hi There

    Just been made redundant after working for the last 8 years and currently on Job Seekers Allowance , I know you can work up to 16 Hours and still claim benefit, would been a Betterware man effect my benefit ?

    Looking into starting my business in the next couple of months I just think Betteware would help for buying the essentials.

    Thanks in advance

    Andy

    You will be able to keep the first £5 but the rest of what you earn will be deducted from your benefit. Anything you earn over and above your JSA entitlement you will be able to keep. You may also lose some of your housing benefit on a sliding scale if you earn more than a certain amount.

    If you work more than 16 hours a week you will lose all your JSA but the housing benefit will reduce according to what you earn on the sliding scale.

    My advice would be to do it as a full time job, you can earn £1500 a month if you're suitable organised. Even more once you start sponsoring new distributors.

    Hi All,

    First post so be gentle! I've been reading about betterware on here and it sounds like a really good way to make a bit of extra money in a way that you can fit in with your life. I just wondered a couple of things:

    - Is it easy to register as self employed and deal with the tax side of things?
    - And people don't return the books you put out for them do you get charged or 'in trouble' for missing books?

    Thanks!
