    No do you know of any good ones ��

    Nope lol It's not something I have an interest in, only answered about Avon as I know someone who does it in her spare time!

    There's a work from home board/self employment board on netmums that may help lots of mums do these kind of things and I'm sure they'd be willing to help

    MLM's are a scam - the very definition of it is that you sign up under someone, who takes a skim of the profit. The more levels, the more skimming, leaving a load of people at the bottom doing the actual work for the promise of more money, then quitting only to be replaced.

    It's a pyramid Ponzi scheme

    Ah, with forever living and juice plus I think it depends how much you value your friends! Reps are practically brainwashed, go on and on and end up irritating most people they know. There are many a thread with people ranting about now ex friends :D

    Having been the "friend" of a Juice Plus person, I was alarmed by the level of brain washing. How is it done? Watching my friend's deteriorating into madness (and very little actual money) was enough to ensure I would never try to product.

    If I ever turn up, attempting to sell JP, please have me institutionalized and drug tested ...

    I used to be an Avon Rep. It was a total waste of time. The patch I was given already had another rep who saw that no-one was selling in the area and took the patch over. Clients had got used to her, so they weren't interested in buying from me.

    I did sell to a few family and friends, but since you have to buy your samples, I actually lost money!

    This was some time ago, so things may have improved, but I doubt it!
  • I'm just giving it a go at the moment iv signed up and started today at the last week of a campaign I'm going to see how many people in the territory iv been given are interested if it's not going well I'm going to stop it

    I did it a few years ago and didn't find it that bad, I didn't make a tonne of money (nor did I exp to - like you it was more for pocket money and to keep me busy) I made about £50 a month or so for a couple of streets. The first few months are the hardest whilst you figure out who is interested- then you concentrate on them. Took a couple of ours each month in brochure delivery/collection and about 4-5 a month in delivery processing. Good fun and you can do as little/much as you like. You do have to buy brouchures etc though so there is an outlay

    I started 3 campaigns ago, just hoping to make even £30 profit a campaign as I also work full time. I'm finding it quite tough going, but I'm still canvassing my territory, once I start only taking books to an interested few I think it'll be a lot easier. I'm also finding I'm not really making anything yet :/ but I think it's a long game. I'd like to at least keep going till Christmas, when I have been assured that it can go a bit crazy.
