New Avon Representative

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Okay, so I’m not quite that “new” but I am a relatively new Avon representative.  I started selling Avon in campaign 9 and exceeded my goals both for that campaign and campaign 10.  Admittedly, I didn’t do quite as well with Campaign 10 as I had hoped I would, but it’s still great to see how much can be made with only minimal work.  If I put more time into it, perhaps more money would come out of it right?  Right.

Either way, for those of you that know me on a personal basis, know that I’m not much of a girly girl, but I have used Avon in the past and recently as well. I figured I could use the extra money, especially considering I am purchasing a car here as soon as I find one that matches my needs.  So I looked into becoming a rep and $10 start up later I was selling Avon.

All of this being said, I encourage any girl who wants to make some extra cash on the side to consider selling Avon.  The start up cost, compared to other work-from-home groups is cheap.  Only $10.  You can set your schedule and put as much or as little time into it as you want.  Start out by selling to family and friends and expand from there.

If you’re interested in buying, or selling, Avon, please feel free to either leave a reply to this blog entry or visit my site through Avon and contact me through there:  http://www.youravon.com/gsnoke

Cheers.
