If I don't drink the kool aid, don't harass friends and family and just deliver catalogues Avon lady style is it likely I'll made £100ish per month for fripperies and enjoy the exercise of having a delivery round?

It seems ok, but does anyone have any experience?

Thanks

There’s no way you’ll make close to £100 per month. Your margins will be tiny, and even if it was as much as 10% you’d have to sell £1000 worth of stuff each month. And you may not “drink the koolaid” but the people who will be getting paid based on how much you sell will spend a lot of time and effort trying to get you to.

The Body Shop often has discounts and free shipping when shopping online, I wouldn’t think an at home seller could match those and still make any profit at all.

I wouldn't buy from you.
Your never more than a couple of weeks away from 30-40% off online. And you can collect points.
I never pay full price.
You'd maybe be better off doing Avon.

I can't see you'd make anything like £100 a month. How many people actually ever buy anything from catalogues that come through the door?
