Does anyone still buy that stuff? Have you tried selling an easier product?There is better out there for you to sell and easier..--Answer1:Arent there a ton of restrictions on whether and how you can advertise? I think the only thing you can do is chat up strangers, give them your card, and perhaps a catalogue if they accept your offer for one..--Answer2:Youre right. Avon is a very respected merchant, and you should do well.You can start a blog, post your products on it, and then go drudge up some traffic to it. There are lots of free blog platforms out there. You can do that to start, but if youre serious about your business, then youd want to get a highly optimized wordpress site set up on your own host. You will get a lot more traffic that way. Google loves Wordpress.Actually, Im answering this question because I have a brand new wordpress site offering free set up to the first 10 people who respond.Having your site doesnt cost much either. A domain name will cost you about $9 per year. Your hosting can be had for as little as $3 - $7 per month. Thats all you will need to get you up and going. To have a profitable business, you do need to invest a little. When you start making money, then you can invest some of your profits to make more profits. I guess what Im saying is that it takes money to make money most of the time.
