No but thinking of doing them. the lady I talked to startd when her son was 6 months and just sold to local playgroups and any classes she and her son joined. Now at 4 she does weekend shows where he likes to go and see things plus a couple of hours a week and gets a salary from it. Hope this helps.

I work for a company selling cards/giftwrap/invitations etc. It is a fantstic friendly company with no pressure to sell or buy, that can easily fit around your family. (I started when my 3rd was 6 weeks old). It's perfect when you're a mum,because it's mum's that buy and send the most cards, and we all know lots of other mum's!
If you would like more information,please let me know.

Hiya
I have done work through this company, and I enjoyed it, so did my dc who went with me most of the time.
However, to make a good salary, you do have to put the time in it.
If you want info, CAT me.

Hiya

I sell Usborne Books

I have an advert on the jobs section if you wish to take a look entitled "selling childrens books" (Special offer this month, only £19 for your starter kit worth around £100!)

I have found it quite enjoyable, although I haven't really done too much....

I just wanted something to do , keep my brain working a bit!! But not be tied down to something week in week out and to be able to be there for the children still

I can get bookings when I want to and am under no pressure

I am in contact with other Organisers who do bookings every week, these make a quite a reasonable regular amount of money and even take their children with them. One has a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old and take them with her. She does lots of bookings and does really well

It is really simple, you can sell from stock or you can take an order and payment off a customer and order the books for them, and you keep 24% for yourself

This can be increased with bonuses and promotion

You can also get lots of free books or books on offer for either your stock or your children!!!

If you take a look at the Usboren website and join, it may be best joining through an Organiser you are in contact with. Otherwise you will just be given any Teamn Leader

I am sure most Organisers are very nice but you do get some which may be quite high up in Usborne and contact you a lot, which is ok if you want to be contacted!! But if you are like me and have children, you don't get chance to talk on the phone much!!!

Let me know if you want anymore info

and again, feel free to look at my advert in the jobs section

It is a good time of year to join as from Oct onwards it is, obviously, the busy period

You may as well join this month as it is half price

It doesn't mean you have to sell now, but chances are it will be full price to join next month
