    Please please put your mobile number on the order form. I have often forgotten to leave the magazine out on the due day for collection and find it easier to text the collector, apologising profusely and letting him/her know I've now left it outside for collection.

    I have done this in the past and made £200 in one month on top of my full time job, but it meant working every evening and Sat and Sun. You do your first drop say Monday, come back Thurs to collect books, collect the stragglers on Friday, wait in for your delivery, sort everything out into the relevant bags and mark it up and deliver on Sunday. It was a month of hell......
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Hi firstly I new to the forum, so hi to everyone.

    I recently gave up kleeneze, I did it for about 4 months to earn extra money as I'm a single parent and I work full time, but it was hell. You have to pay for everything, catalogues, ordering via internet, even the bags. I didn't get all the catalogues back and some of the catalogues I picked up had abusive notes included stating not to leave the catalogues in future, or that they already had a kleeneze agent and didn't need another one. They say you can earn money doing it part time, but I don't think you can, they also recommend you put out 250 books a week, to do that you have to go out every evening and weekends. I'm sure it works for some but you have to put in the hours. Definitely not for me.
  • how long have you been doing it i am in my 1st week done £140 sales works out about £30 for me wich buys 1 set of ex books so how much roughly were u doing in sales per week


    i find it pretty hard trying to get books back but i am going to just keep going see how i get on the more books you get out the more you earn


    i started with 100 but just orderd another 100:beer:

    Avoid like the plague. Its really just a pyramid scheme, but the people above you will never admit to it, and call it "multi-level marketing". You end up going to all these meetings and conferences where people are lauded for doing fantastically, and some blokes will say how they don't have to work now because the money they have coming in is so brilliant. In reality you will be doorstepping continuously, unless you can get A LOT of people in under you. The first few months will be ok, as the novelty is there for most customers, but your orders drop off after a while. Believe me, I tried it, and wished I hadn't.
