Phoenix Trading

Hello

I am looking at trying to earn an extra bit of money. Has anybody got any experience of working as a Phoenix Trader??? I read that the initial outlay is about £45, but want to find out as much as possible before laying out any money - in other words is it worth it?

Many thanks

    Hiya

    I looked into Phoenix once, but decided against it. I then started selling Usborne books.

    My experoence of these things is that it is not easy to make money. You rely on friends and family to buy a lot and if your lucky you can build up more client. I held about 4 parties but really struggled to get anyone to have a party and eventually gave up.

    On a plus note the cards of Phoenix are nice and good value but I do question how much you could make

    I'm sure others will tell you what a fantastic business it is but I'm just a bit undecided
    Give me the boy until he's seven and i'll give you the man.
