I started threads in the cosmetics folders, but I'm open to different companies and products, so I'm going to paste my message into each company that I'm interested in so hopefully I can get some information on each.

I have experience in WAH businesses, I've worked for LiveOps, West, Working Solutions and others.

I'm in college so I need something with LOW (or no) start-up costs, that I can do mostly from home. I don't mind going out to spa's or salons or whatever though, and I don't mind lunch meetings or parties, that sort of thing. I live in Las Vegas so there's a good market. My mom wants something on the side too so she'd be interested as well. I'd be happy with $500 - $1,000 profit per month, thrilled with anything more than that.

I'm in an upper/middle class area with LOTS of houses, so catalogues or business cards can be easily left on doors, I'm also in college so good market there, I go to lots of the clubs and restaurants so I could network some, I'm a member of 24 hr fitness, so there's a good market there, there's tons of spa's in the area I could market to as well.

I REALLY want something that just needs promotion, like giving out catalogues and samples and website URLs, then getting a commission based on sales through my advertising, if that's an option.

So are candles an option for me? Tell me all about it! =)

Oh man! Scentsy would be perfect for both you and your mom! I would love to share with you just a few reasons that are off the top of my head.

Scentsy's candle system is wickless and flameless! We have beautiful decorative warmers and scented wax that comes in a "Scentsy Bar." Just break off a cube of the bar, and place it in the top of the warmer. Turn it on and a 25 watt light bulb warms the wax and fills your home with scent. The safety of Scentsy is ideal for college dorms and apartment complexes since they are flameless! They are also ideal for people who like to change their decor frequently as there are 50+ warmer styles to choose from (including the new Collegiate Line).

Our start up kit is affordable ($99) and comes with everything you need to get started (all scent testers, 1 deluxe warmer, 1 Scentsy Bar, 1 Car Candle (working on a name change there), light bulbs, and all necessary paperwork). I also offer potential team mates the opportunity to host an "on the go basket party" to kick off their own businesses (I can share more with you on that when you are interested).

The business supplies are quite affordable too. Business supplies and other promotional items have free shipping (in most cases). And Scentsy offers an array of wonderful marketing supplies to help us brand our businesses.

A broad spectrum of people LOVE Scentsy's products, with over 80 scents to choose from and 50+ warmer styles, they are great for gift giving and personal use. There is a scent and warmer for EVERYONE!

February is a great time to join as a consultant! Everything in our catalog is 10% off as it is a transition month. Because of that, there are times of the month where you can the the "transition kit" that offers a few extra perks!

Please feel free to check out my website http://www.jessj.scentsy.us to view our products. I would also be happy to send you an informational packet that has a great DVD, scent samples and other information about team support and Scentsy Corporate Programs! I hope to work with both you and your mother in the future!

Yet another option is the company I am with and loving. SoyLicious.com.

Click my signature line to check it out and request more information if you are interested. I can send you samples and brochures and any information you may need.

We are a new company so our websites are not yet "status quo" but they are being worked on.

Don't want to overwhelm you right now with all your choices, just contact me if you would like more information :)

Have a great day and best of luck finding a good fit :)

Our products are notorious for being easy to sell and I've been thrilled at how many poeple come looking for our products and find me. Im also happy that so many of my customers have become repeat customers.

Gold Canyon has personal websites (mine is linked in my sig) with an easy order system, as well as a monthly e-newsletter setup to automatically contact customers in your database on a monthly basis, as well as a direct referral system.

I would be happy to provide you with any info that the website doesn't answer!

All the best to you in your search! It sounds like you have some fantastic plans and I believe Gold Canyon would be an excellent fit for a go-getter like you!
