Home Party Plan Network Message Boards

Hello,
I am interested in starting a direct sales business for myself. I want to work part-time and make some extra cash for our household (of course, who doesn't). However, after months of looking at the options on the many lists on this site, I am still at a loss.

I was hoping someone would have some suggestions. I know I want to do something that is fun, something that people won't go, UGH!! when they see an invite in the mail. I also don't want to invest a lot of money at the start because first of all with 3 three year olds at home there's not much left and second of all in case it doesn't work out.

I would love to hear from anyone with an idea or two. Consider me your recruitment project. Please feel free to e-mail or private message me or post back! I will honestly consider any options!

Thanks for the help and I look forward to hearing from you ladies out there!! Take Care!!

Hi Cheri

I just sent you a PM, hope I can help out!

What are your likes- cooking, beauty items, jewelry, foods, books, home decor, childrens items, clothes, candles - you need to make certain that you choose something that you would use, so you can really know the product - you will be your best advertisement - needs to be something that you can honestly ask people to buy - would you buy if someone asked you?
There are so many things to consider when looking -just take your time and check out EVERYTHING when you decide on a Biz - make certain you know read all the fine print

Cheri~
You are so funny~ "your recruitment project"~ My girls are 12 & 9, but I do remember the days of the 3 year olds! Yes, they do keep you busy...and they continue to, but in different ways!

I did send you a PM about Watkins Products. Let me know what your thought are~

I also want to address your comment about "what others would think"~
Find something that Grabs & Excites [b]YOU!!!!!

Success comes from your own enthusiasm! Is the product or service that you are looking into something that YOU would use frequently?

See, for me and with Watkins I was a customer for almost 20 years. The idea of having my own business never even entered my mind for which I was a very happy and satisfied customer. Yes, one day that light bulb when on and I though why couldn't I do this myself and enjoy the discount as well!

I live Watkins! I have loved the products for many years and now I enjoy even more products each and every day - from morning to evening! I use them because I love them~ My experience with the products and my enthusiasm with the products are what make me successful~

If you are still not sure which avenue to take, a good way to test things out is to purchase items from different companies that interest you. Then see for yourself (and ask yourself), "do I really like what I have here?"~

Feel free to PM me~

Keep up the wonderful work with your research! You will find something that GRABS YOU! [/b]

Hmm~ Don't know how my reply came out with two colors! LOL!

I just sent you a PM!

I sent you a PM about Home & Garden Party, good luck with whatever you decide!

How exciting to be searching for your home business!! I do recommend finding something that interests you. I love jewelry and fashion, so it was a no-brainer for me to chose Premier Designs. Find something you love, and you will find the money!
Good luck and keep us posted! If you want information about Premier or FrutaVida just let me know!
Best wishes!

Hi Cheri, Have you found anything yet? I noticed your date of post. Well, I sent you a pm for you.

Best wishes and if you found something you're enjoying already, "Good Luck"!
