Any advice?

Hi all, have been out of work for a few years now raising the children. Really keen to get back to doing something but with a needy other half and five kids I'm struggling. I've been quietly watching Usborne books. There isn't a representative in my area already. I absolutely love books. But I'm really shy.
Does anyone have experience of selling these books and could give me a realistic insight? To my absolute shame I tried Forever Living a few years ago when I was not in a good place mentally and inevitably failed. I really don't want to do that again!!
Thanks

It is essentially another MLM, and you'd be competing with the discount book sellers who have the same stock cheaper.

So while you might sell a bit to friends being kind, it's not likely to be a good source of income. An actual job is much more likely to bring in more ££ for the time spent working

Agree, unless you can sell loads to friends and family I can't see how this would make an income worth the effort.
