@SirLionelNigelConrad: Ohhh nah that's not how it works... If I had to hold the stock myself I wouldn't be even remotely interested.

Your kit is simply a small range of products you use to show the customers in real life what the products look like, and can provide taste samples to customers to encourage a sale. Ultimately, the company doesn't give these kits away for free because they want to ensure people are going to actually attempt to make sales. However, for the $211 (including postage), you receive just over $500 worth of products to be able to show customers.

When I last did this, just one demonstration (which took me approximately 90 minutes) netted $1200 in sales, which are purchased from the company directly. I then receive a commission payment of 25%, which totaled $300. Not every demonstration is this good, and sometimes you can get customers who simply order online directly from the company and you receive commission simply for keeping your facebook page updated with specials to entice sales.

Regardless, once the kit is purchased I am simply encouraging sales and earning a commission on those sales. It's essentially my own business, but I don't have to outlay for stock itself to sell - only items to demonstrate.

But you are correct in that it is higher risk than a normal day-to-day job, in that I don't earn an hourly wage and if there are no sales I don't earn money. Buuut this is how I prefer to work, as we already own a Removals business. I'm not an "employee" kinda guy, I'd rather earn bigger dollars in my own business than a set rate of $15-18 per hour putting in huge amounts of work for somebody else to profit off me. O:
