I don't really sell Avon, but I email the brochures to my daughters and some friends and take a few orders. You have to sell a lot of Avon to make a profit. I make about $1 a month, teehee. You have to be able to go out to knock on doors to find customers unless you have a lot of friends and family and co-workers who place orders with you regularly, but that's just my experience and I wanted to tell you honestly.

For a couple of years I made greeting cards and someone I knew took them to her place of business and sold them for me and I made some extra cash that way. Do you have a hobby and make anything that you could take into a consignment store or sell on kijiji? Just an idea.

The other ladies gave wonderful advice and ideas. Is there a college or university near you and could you advertise there to type papers for the students?
