Extra Income In Catalog Sales

The concept is quite simple, post the catalogs at people's homes and then collect them a few days later. You will need to pay for the catalogs and any order forms. The downside is that people forget to leave them out - mainly as they have no idea that this is a cost to you.

When you have received all of your orders you will need to place your total order with the main company - in many cases before you receive the money yourself.

When you have the goods you will then need to deliver them and collect the money owed to you. Your income will come on your profit from these sales as you will be charged less than you are charging your customer.

But that is never going to earn you thousands and that is why the other part of the business will be MLM (multi level marketing), also known under the more dubious guise as "Pyramid Selling".

Your extra money will be earned recruiting people to do exactly what you do - post catalogs and process the orders, you will earn a percentage of their income and depending on the company you may be able to earn some money on who they recruit.

One other factor is that there may be a minimum order requirement and to make that some months you may need to make it up yourself.

Experience from this type of income earner is that it is good for earning a little bit extra, but you are never going to retire on it! To earn the big money you will need to be great at recruiting people for the business and that will involve a cost to you.

Whatever catalog scheme you decide to join make sure you go in with your eyes open, understand all the real ways you can earn money before you join because there is nearly always a start up cost to join!.

It is quite likely that you will be introduced to this system by somebody that you know, whoever it is do not sign up on the night of the presentation, sleep on the details before you make up your mind.
