Does anyone do it and can you really make money from it? I started on Friday, put out 100 catalogues and only got 2 orders, 1 was from my mum. So what can I do? There is a full-time Kleeneze agent working in my area so wondering if I will be able to make money.

From what I can see from my own area, there's a lot of competition. So if there is already a full time Kleeneze person then it's gonna be hard to get the customers.

I joined Kleeneze seven years ago at a time when I was £20,000+ in debt.
I was skeptical cos there were three other distributors in the area.
I have paid off all my debt, now have savings and bought a brand new £27,000 car in March this year - for cash!! I have laso paid off my mortgage and have another property which I rent out
Basically, Kleeneze works if you work at it! Anyone who says they lost money at it obviously didn't work at it properly. It is not a get rich quick scheme, it is a serious business for people who are serious about bettering their lifestyle.
Kleeneze is great but with the caveat is that you DO have to work at it. I now earn £3,500 per month part-time from Kleeneze but ONLY BECAUSE I HAVE WORKED AT IT.

Hi,

I have to support the comment about Kleeneze being not the best job. I have done it and there are lots of pitfalls. People being nasty wasn't mentioned but I have had some bad experiences with getting books back which you will have to pay for to be replaced. I was told to go forth and multiply a couple of times.

Sorry to put a downer on things.

Have you considered Usbourne, that way you target people that actually may be interested in the product you are selling and it wouldn't mean walking in the rain.

I'm not a representative by the way. Still thinking about it, but want someone to come in with me.

I agree Zebedee69 always from new posters looking for posts about them.

I think they suck people in to saying you make lots of money, the reality is quite different, loads of distributors in the area for little return most people dont want this magazine shoved through there door.

yep hard work for little return, did it about 10 years ago- waste of money !

It's basically a Pyramid scheme - the only way to make anything more than 'pocket money' is to recruit other reps - you get a percentage of what they make, your recruiter makes a percentage of that & on up the chain. There are no protected areas for reps so it's considered 'fair game' to try & poach other rep's customers, but if you manage to find an area with no existing reps then you can make a small amount out of purely collecting/delivering catalogues/orders. When I tried it a couple of years ago I took advantage of the 30day 'no risk' trial & got my initial £100 back with no problems.

I started doing Kleeneze 3 and half years ago, and only finished doing it in August this year.

I always did all mine on foot, and there were collections when I didn't get anything, and then there are times when I was flooded with orders, there were 3 other distributors in my area, 2 gave up and I don't know what happened to the other one. But I tended to pick up the customers that they didn't go to, and I didn't go to theirs.

Myself and one of the other local ones (she lives in the next street to me), sat down together and split the town between us, there was an area that we both went to, but I went about a fortnight after her, and so we both did ok out of it.

By the time I stopped doing it, I had a customer base of just under 500 customers. The first month I did in excess of £800 worth of sales, and my first Christmas blew my mind, I think I got about £1800 worth of orders in the last 4 weeks before Christmas.

One thing to bear in mind is that it is a business, and you have to treat it as such, and so don't expect to make your millions straight away. You need to lat the foundations for your business and build it up, this takes time, effort, tears and loads of other things

Three places up from me in the chain was my Senior Exec Distributor, last year he went on the International conference, and went straight to a sponsored mountain climb, and so did no Kleeneze work for about a month, and still got his regular cheque for £4k.........this being the amount of residule income that he was on each month.

It can and does pay.... but you have to put a lot of effort into it and don't expect miracles over night.

For the record.... I only gave up cos I couldn't do that, my other two jobs and look after the kids!

If you want regular money with no competition from other agents with the same book try Betterware. I have been regularly making £80 - £100 a week working round a full time job - and that was when I was working as a distributor. You get your own territory - no joining fee and everything you need is given free to you and you do not do any recruiting. Go on the Betterware website if you are interested.
