They only wanted an extra £50 per week to pay their credit cards off.
So to say that they are happy is an understatment.

£100 for 20 hours work isn't that amazing though.

my job title at the moment
'4D specialist' aye!
but not doing that on this job... i'm sitting on my ass for 12hrs a day on the net....
Seeing places is good... but once you're a bit older it does get a bit more tiring and 'crap' always flying away places... up at stupid ok to get a flight hungover. Traving for hours then straight to work or onto something else... not glam at all

not got a Clue what a 4d specialist is lol.
Aye you might get tired after Travelling for Years but i would love to travel, I rarely Venture from my little borough and Have never really left the north of england  Been contemplating doing long distance Truck driving or getting my PCV and taking coachs Abroad as it's probably the Easiest way i will get a Travelling job
in regards to Kleenex, investing £125 then working 20 hours and only earning £100 back and presumably another £100 after another 2 weeks is a bad investment as it works out 40 hours = £75 Profit

thats just over 2 weeks and you have you investment back. After that it's profit profit profit.
Start a new thread and ask people who have their own business (which this is) how many years it takes them to break even.
If you think of it that way..... then it's prity good.
Oh and after 1 year you get it all back. So in fact you are not loseing anything. Just leaving a depost.

I'm am trying to tell you and other people that it isn't just about the catalogs (sp again). So yes i am.
If you ask me about it. I'll try and tell you everything i know about it and how everything works.
However i will not say "now where's your money". Coz it's not for everyone.
I will say however.... "If you do know anyone who is interested then do get in contact with me and i'll answer anymore question you might have".
I'll not go into more detail about what you can win coz then no one would ever believe a thing i said ever again.

Steve: I'm not desputing you can probably made a decent punt off it short term, but seriously - have you had a good look at the shit they sell?
Alot of the stuff is just over priced tat from poundland/wilkinsons that once people have bought once, they'll never buy again, and usually once they've bought it, they notice it cheaper elsewhere, hence think twice about repeat purchases (obviously you get the odd few exceptions to the rule though).
And classing it as running your own business -you been smoking some funky shit tonight? My 13 y/o cousin does the Avon books round her local area - she gonna be the next female Richard Branson?

Nope.
There are a lot of consumables that are quite good and those get repeat business.
The next time you get a book through your door, i dare you to look through it and tell me that you can't find 5 things that you think you would buy.
That guy who had joined my team did avon. And from what he says this will earn him more money that Avon ever would.
He hasn't told me how much he got just that you have to make avon £70 each month or they'll charge you. Dunno if this is true. Hope fully you can clear that up for me.

No idea mate - presume it could be on their site though - i only heard of it by word of mouth through my aunty to my nan to my mom to me . By this point any descriptive info has long been simplified to "earning" .
We used to get kleeneze and betterware books, and tbh i usually have a flick though to see what wacky shit someones came up with that i'd never need .
Actually the husband of my old German teacher that lived on the estate next to me used to do our betterware book. Fuck me was that entertaining when I bought it up in the middle of one of my lessons . She hated me after that .

He gets nearly 100k a year with his bonuses, he works 3 months on 1 month off, when he comes back here after 3 months he has about 30k in the bank to spend, he is 22 years old, its ridiculous.

Eh, I'll try and break this down,
There is no one selling this to me. This is what i do. I'm explaining it (very badly by the looks ) to anyone who wants to read this.
There is no selling involved. You shove a book through someone's door, come back after a few days and pick up the book with either an order or not.
And 125 profit....? I'm guessing you meaning that when someone joins i get £125 in my pocket. In fact you do not get anything when someone joins.

I didnt think anyone bought anything out of those betterwear books, I dont know anyone that does I cant see delivering catalogues being a lucrative full time job, bit of extra cash if you've got a couple hours to spare a month maybe!!
