    Some things to consider:
    Start up cost with Avon is between $10 - $20
    Ongoing monthly costs (catalogs, website, etc.) - Website is optional and free if you have one online order. Brochure cost is minimal.
    Sales Quotas - No sales quotas, however you must submit an order at least once every 6 weeks (no minimum order required).
    Compensation Plan - Profit Margin/commission rate - Earnings are 40% for the first 2 months then 20 - 50% based on order total.
    Number of reps to compete with in your area - Most Avon Independent Sales Reps sign up to get discounts for themselves and sell to friends and family.

    I've been selling for 3 years. I live in a small town and when I started there were at least 15 reps here and 400+ in the entire district. My second year I was 10th in the district for sales and #1 in the district for sales increase over the prior year. The lady who was 9th in the district for sales the same year also sales here in town and has been selling for 18 years. I personally don't feel like the other reps in the area are much competition at all.

    Additionally, there is no required inventory, no manditory meetings. Avon provides FREE Online Training and excellent incentives (right now Avon is giving away a car). You also get discounts from various companies such as Sprint and T-Mobile, theme parks, and more.

    With any Business Opportunity you do have to be self motivated and willing to work it like a "real" job. You also have to expect to put some money into your business to build it. I always recommend in the beginning not to order more in business tools and personal items than you profit from the previous campaign, unless of course you can afford it otherwise.

So far sounds good right?  Start your own business, be your own boss, work your own hours.  
You make up to 30% off your own sales as well as additional bonuses on other consultants that you sponsor.   Scentsy offers you a website it is free for the 1st 3 months after that it is $10 a month so you can reach friends and family that live somewhere else, and even begin networking.  Scentsy does allow you to run your business the way you want to if you do not want to host parties that is your choice like most direct sales companies you are free to run it  the way you want.  If you decide to leave Scentsy there is no cancellation fee or anything of that nature.  To remain an active consultant you need to sell $150 in personal retail volume in a given month, (off your own sales)

How does the Scentsy Compensation Plan work?


There is different levels with Scentsy starting out you are considered a Essential Consultant and make 20% off of only your sales.  There are various way to get paid inside the Compensation Plan
  • Retail Profits - Your own sales through parties, friends, family or online sales
  • Bonuses from Scentsy 
  • Advancing into a Leadership Role - Building a team of Scentsy Consultants
  • Building large teams and having a down line of active Scentsy Consultants
The bigger the team you build the more you will make, when you have a lot of consultants selling product you have large sales volume.  

What I think about Scentsy and Making Money 

I think one can make money Selling Scentsy Products the money is able to be made.  I think you can get what you want out of Scentsy.  Do you want a part time job or full time maybe just a discount.  I do not think Scentsy is a get rich quick business opportunitiy that we all would love it to be but then again nothing is everything takes time and work.  Scentsy has top of the line products and people already love Scentsy Products.  The company keeps on growing and introducing more product lines which makes selling Scentsy easier than ever before.  If you are looking to join Scentsy I would say now is the time with the launch of the new Scentsy line Layers by Scentsy, Veleta and I have heard of yet another product line coming out in Aug 2012.  If you are willing to put time into your Scentsy business from my research I personally do not belive that Scentsy will let you down.  

Scentsy has been around since 2004 and growing like crazy getting reps and growing their product line I think it is safe to say they are going to stick around.  Most direct sales companies do not last 5 years unless they are going to be around long term and Scentsy has passed that with flying colors.   So if you are looking for a good company that offers room for growth and the ability to run your own home based business I would say Scentsy would be at the top of my list!
