Hi
I've been looking for a job and saw the stuff on tv about the avon lady who has made 1/4 of a million. Has anyone made anything from it?

Also I have found this zap by admin/ has anyone signed up?
Thanks
Danielle

I was thinking of starting this avon thing to earn some extra cash. But is it good money? and what is the process?

Am I wrong to be skeptical when several newbies all post in a thread publicising a get rich quick scheme?

I dint think anyone would promote Avon as a get rich quick scheme
the posters dont appear to be sock puppets

The average Avon rep earns very little if anything at all.

You have to pay for books, order forms & bank your own money

They place orders every 3 weeks, dont earn any commision until it reaches a certain level.

The average Avon rep earns money & then spends it on the goods themselves

They did start to go down the MLM route but haven't heard anything really about it since

Having said that at least they dount preach to you that you'll be financiallly secure from joining Avon

Regards
John

party plan cosmetics

I KNEW A GIRL WHO DID THIS once
paid for all their courses which supposedly
meant you could get a job anywhere
bored the **** off her friends/aquaintences to have a party
and when the complany folded her qualifications werent worth the paper they were written on

anther worked her way up to management level with tupperware
had a 1/2 share in a car with them woop de doo at the expence of boring everyone who knew her, rigid as all she would talk about was tupperware.

both relied on recruiting others to flog more stuff too

i used to cringe when my ex was goign to yet another party plan
why not just get a bottel of wine and go for a night at someones house

DON'T EVER WORK FOR AVON, AS ALL THEY DO IS RIP YOU OFF.
THERE NOT MUCH MONEY IN IT, UNLESS YOU WANT TO WORK DAY AND NIGHT.

Who in their right mind would waste money on Avon stuff in the current climate? if a friend needed money that badly, surely most people would lend them some (if they had it to lend!), if only to avoid having their ears chewed off and being sold to every time they spoke to each other?!?!....

No.....Arsene doesn't shop on the high street.....he figures making his own gear is a lot cheaper, and makes a lot more sense because he can make it the way he wants and believes it should be made Wink

Occasionally he'll shop though, but will not pay a penny over the odds!

Or should i call it like it is sarcasm! Anyhow statistics speak for itself. Just giving a little advise to those who are really serious about earning some extra income since I have been in those fields.

Avon sells lovely products, their perfumes and roll ons last unlike some products that lose their fragrance very quickly.

However the work you have to put in to earn a little, to me, is not worth it. They should be paid more.

Lovely speaking to you.

I don't understand what you mean about sold a dream.

With regards to the education/training, I do agree with you. Everybody in every field of work/career that they take up needs to be educated in their area of expertise. Doctors, nurses, teachers, care assistant need to be trained. Likewise a sales representative, distributor, marketer. Otherwise if they were to be asked questions about their goods or service, what would their response be?

With regards to full time work, my advice to anyone is to find something that they are passionate about and drive all their effort into it, full time. The effort will pay off.

But what is living within ones means? Staying in a poverty stricken situation and saying that is the means? Or working two, three, four jobs a month and still can't see two ends meeting? I think the means is what you make it.

Anyway nice, talking to you John.
