Jill Carlson found her niche after being invited to a home party showing Upper Case Living, decorative expressions for walls. “I got invited to a party and right there I was sold,” Carlson said. “I don’t make a lot of money at it, but it’s extra income.”
Some people become distributors of a product so they can purchase it wholesale for their own use. Some would like to supplement their income by selling their product to others. A third group of people see the business potential and by sharing their product and knowledge with others are able to expand their business by creating a sales team.
Carlson conducts her business mainly through “book parties,” sales generated through a circulated catalog. For now, she is happy selling something she loves and generating a small income.
The secret is finding a product or a company that is a good fit. “I tried Avon and Mary Kay, neither one did anything for me,” Carlson said.
