Sorry, any business involves the risk of losing money. Good luck.
It depends on how much money you put into it. Avon is great because you only pay your membership fee which if I remember is quite small compared to other businesses. You do have to buy the books to give out but they re not a lot either. But you don t have to buy a stock of product to give out like you do with say Mary Kay or amway.One of the things I used to do was to buy the sample packages of a bunch of products...they re not a lot either (I think $1-$4 depending on what it is) and I d get a selection of perfumes and creams and lipsticks, etc. then I d have an Avon Party and invite around 5-6 people, let them look through the books and try out the products, I always sold a lot that way. This time of year you ll want to order some of the Christmas decorations for yourself, they have some really nice ones, the trick is to order them in the first campaign they appear in then when you have your party and people can see how nice they look they ll order them too. Don t order anything you don t want to have for yourself anyway, but try to do it that way when there is something you like.If I remember correctly I had to sell about $300 worth of stuff to make $100 for myself. It s something you can definitely do and if you re proactive about it (having the parties etc) you ll sell way more than that in no time. It s like any other business though, it takes time to build it up and if you just drop of order books you won t sell as much.Good luck and have fun with it!

First, there is always a risk of losing money in any business venture. However, as a new Avon rep myself I can say there is the opportunity to EARN money. I emphasize on earn because you will have to put in time and effort to make this money. I have a few basic tips that I think could help you:1)Do not buy personal things that you can t afford just because you get a discount2)Always try to find new customers - No customers means No earnings.3)Don t spend too much on samples and inventoryHope this helps a little.http://www.youravon.com/dsatar
Avon stock has gone up sharply.It seems their revenue has gone up.But here s where you have to stop an think:Their sales have taken a 25% nosedive.Their revenue is coming from people signing up and selling.That must mean that sellers make the company rich.Look up avon stock in yahoo finance./
The key that I have found after selling for 2 years is not to purchase so much personal and unnecessary things like samples, etc. I only order a box of samples per campaign which comes to only a $1.Hope that helps
