Well, the reason I started was simple. I Started selling AVON To save money. Surprised? I bet you thought I would say to make money. Well, it didn’t start that way.
I was going to place an order with a representative at work. I didn’t know her, but always loved AVON products since I was a little and was happy to see a catalog and the great deals in there. I thought, well, why should I buy from someone else when I could start my own business for such a small investment and get a great discount!
So I did my research and found out that selling AVON included digital selling and a free webstore. I am pretty technical so I joined under the top eSelling Representative figuring she would be the best mentor for me if I were going to make a go of it. As part of her team, I have complete access to all her training and mentoring, as does my team.
I started a bank account and put $100 in it. I told myself that if I didn’t have at least that much after a year, then I would stop selling. I needed a safety net.
Over the next few months I gradually built my business and really liked how owning my 
own business made me feel. I still worked my full-time day job, and worked my AVON business as I had time. I was able to take a vacation, took time off due to an illness and hospitalization, and STILL managed to make my goal of seeing $10,000 worth of product before the end of the year. That put me in the President’s club, and guaranteed me a MINIMUM of 40% earnings on orders of any size. It was an ambitious goal for sure, but when I made it I felt like 1 million dollars! While I started to save money, I found selling AVON was possibly a missing piece of my life. I love being an AVON Representative because I love the products and helping people. I started thinking that not only could I save money, but I could make it too! Selling Avon and growing my team could help pay for the kids’ activities, family vacations, anything and everything.
As mentioned above, I get lots of free training for online selling and so does my team. 
The training is a tremendous add-on value and makes me realize I am part of the right team!
After the year, I had about $450 in that bank account. Not a lot, but then I have bought lots of supplies, a laser printer, storage bookcase, demos and samples. I have saved lots of money on products for my family, and I have a great jewelry collection too! On a side note, I think the Avon Jewelry is a hidden gem. It is so affordable, but doesn’t look it!
Finding the time to work my business can be a challenge, but it only has to grow as quickly as I can handle. I am happy I made my decision to start selling, and am now working on earning trips with Avon and various other incentives.
