I was tempted to do it but you don't know if there is another seller in the area. I work full time anyway so it would be hard to squeese in getting good contacts and sales personally but it did look fun / interesting.

it looks fun .. but the money is prob about as good as avon ... and we all know how well that works out! lol hence why u get a cato throught ure door once and then they dissapear ! x

yeah i do it! the rewards are good, and we are building a lovely collection for ruby...BUT its hard work and to see any benefit you MUST put in lots of hours, making contacts, doing fairs etc.... give me a shout if you have any questions!

how does it work? like is it a book people order from or do you buy the stock?

NIfirsttimer · Jan 7th, 2011, 14:40 PM

you can do it both ways. Over time you can build up quite a library from your free book allowance, so you can keep those, or put them into your stock to sell at fairs etc, I spread my free book allowance between ruby and stock to use as demos so i try to get a book or two from each series etc...

people order from you via catalogue or your website, then you order from usbourne for them
