Help with Avon? I am thinking of selling avon to make extra money, any advice or has anyone made money from av?

I would like to know how much money will I have to put into it and how much should I expect to make on average...plus any tips would be helpfull, I am only looking to make an extra source of income..I already have full time job.

If you have a full time job and can sell avon to your coworkers you can definately make a extra money selling Avon with little extra work put into it.

To join Avon costs $10 at a face to face meeting or you can join Avon online for $20. See my profile for more info. Don't go to avon.com and fill out the form there because your info with be sent to the local district manager who will call you (eventually) and make an appt to meet and sign you up. You don't want to join under the DM because they don't have the time to help a new rep get started.

The only thing you need to sell Avon is the brochures. You do need to purchase them each campaign The more you buy the less they cost. IE: 10 brochures is $6 ....100 brochures is $20

The average customer order is $25....I find my average order is usually a little higher. However taking $25 as an average at 40% commission you earn about $10 a customer. If you sell to 20 customers you would make $200 per campaign. Now if some of those sales are in the 20% commission you would make a little less.

Its nearly impossible to pinpoint any type of $ figure. First and foremost how you work you business is key. Then your commissions are based on your order size after the first 4 campaigns of a 50% commission. As seen below

$1550 or more 50%
$900 - $1549 45%
$425 - $899 40%
$285 - $424 35%
$145 - $284 30%
$25 - $144 20%
$00 - $24 0%

There are also licensed items such as Disney, Curves etc plus watches, shoes and handbags that are at a 20% fixed commission rate. So what your customers buy can vary the amount your would make. You definitely want to find cosmetics and skin care customers they are the way to make money...especially those interested in skin care as they are the higher priced items. Cosmetics and skin care are things customers will order again and again as they run out. The fixed commission items are definitely good for raising the total order size and by doing that may raise the commission you make on the Avon core products. So for some ideas on what you could make....

As a David McConnell Member which is product sales of over $66,500 you would make about $30,000 a yr.

If you go into leadership as an Executive Unit Leader you could make approximately $56,000 a yr.

Senior Executive Leaders make about $134,000 a year. Combining leadership with sales is the best way to make good money with Avon.

If you make President's Club which is sales of $10,100 in a year you are guaranteed a 40%/25% commission each campaign regardless of the order size from the time you make PC and the whole next selling cycle. That is something all reps should shoot for. It is definitely the way to make good money. Last year I sold $20,000 and made Honor Society. The perks didn't change as far as commissions go but they do offer other things for achieving that level of selling.

It is possible to make good money with Avon if you work your business and run it like a business but its not going to happen overnight. Most people usually give up before they get started. They don't manage the business properly and end up spending more than they make.

As with any job, if you don't show up or you don't do the work you won't get paid. If you don't work your Avon business and put in the time needed to find new customers and build your business you arent going to make any money either.

If you opened a bakery and ate all the merchandise you won't make any money because you have nothing to sell. Likewise if you spend all the money you make on your own personal Avon products you won't see a profit either.

You want to batch your deliveries to save time and gas. Organize them so you deliver it all to one area in one trip. Give any customers who live to far to deliver a free shipping code out of the web office.

Be sure to submit your order on time, make the payments when due and only submit one order per campaign. As long as you keep to the schedule and do things properly you won't get charged the extra fee's and lose your profits.

I have seen people not do the above and wonder why they didnt make money. Avon is a well known name and has quality products at affordable prices. However you do need to put time in finding the people who love it. They are out there.

I sold $20,000+ in products my first year. There are those that will say that Avon ladies are a dime a dozen and that may be true HOWEVER I know of many other Avon ladies within a 20 mile radius of me (and probably don't know the many others) and I still managed to sell $20k in a year's time. One of these ladies sells $100k + a year.

I work my business a little more than part time because I have long term goals that I wish to achieve. I do it around my part time job outside the home in addition to taking care of my family. Its impossible to give you a firm dollar figure of how much I make as an Avon rep and Unit Leader but in the last year it has ranged anywhere from $300-$700 per month. As my business continues to grow, the money I am making increases as well.

the more ya sell the more ya make , and it's not much, there are way to many selling it now

You only make money if you sell a ton, to a lot of people!! Other then that I was only making like 10.00 off of each campaign..

I remember a long time ago when I was just a kid in the 60s my mother tried that. She only paid in about $50 at the start but ended up having to quit because it was actually costing her more to sell than she was making selling it.

I have heard women say they have made money selling avon but at the same time I was also told if they had been paid for every hour that they had put into it they would be out of pocket three fold, It seems to me the ones that do make the money have to be very consistent with it and be motivated

avon works this way
you have to buy their product to demonstrated
then for every catalog you want or need they tack on a charge for that also.

( keep in mind it's the sales pitch used, any one can buy cosmetics i the local store)

The only way to make some money with it is to stay put and let your customers come to you. Also, it is very important TO COLLECT MONEY UP FRONT. Just a few of the obstacles I had when I was involved.

I am currently an Avon rep. I have sold Avon before and came back a little less than 3 months ago. It does depend alot on you. I came back just to get the discount. But when I signed up at a local fair, the rep that signed me up didn't have anyone in my area and he lives about 2-3 hours from me. He gave me leads for other people that were interested in selling, but only one ended up joining Avon too. Since then I have gotten 5 more new reps, some returning to Avon like me. With each person you sign up, you get money from a incentive called Fast Start. I am currently looking at earning $320-$380 by the end of this coming week. As far as sales, there is a fine line there. If you order too much personal stuff, it will be hard to see the income. What I and many other reps suggest is that 1) if you cannot afford to buy something at the BROCHURE price then you shouldnt be buying it. Meaning if you would order it from another rep at the price in the brochure (not counting your discount at all), then go for it. 2) there are business expenses, but also tax deductions to running your own business. Being an Avon rep is more than just selling avon, it is a business. And it is not a get rich quick scheme. Whether or not you join to make this a real income earner is regardless, you have started a business and what you put in is what you will get out of it. Every business takes money to start and has their own costs. You will pay for brochures and other business type expenses. If you start with avon, make goals. This is for both people who want to make a lot or a little money. You need to know how much you want to make with avon and put in the appropriate amount of effort to get there. Being a reliable rep is also important for your customers. It all depends on what you want out of Avon. But this last piece of advice is also important. There are many direct selling businesses out there. Avon is endorsed by Suze Orman as being the best opportunity of direct selling businesses out there. She wouldnt put her name on just anything. One thing my Upline has told me is also important, if you arent having fun with Avon, then you dont need to be doing it. I enjoy meeting new people with my avon and am enjoying starting a team with it too.

When you join Avon it is your business so you do what you choose to do with it as you please.

Personally for me it has been worth while. I am able to make $250 every 2 weeks in addition to my full time income.

Not sure if you are aware but now you can sign up to become a representative online plus it is only $10 to get started and you could sign up now online. Plus, with all the support that is available out there you should be able to make a great income.

If you do happen to be interested and are ready to get started just go to my website and click my name so that I could email you online application website information.

Hope that helped answer your question!
