Yesterday in my blog one of my options was to stay at home and still figure out a way to have some source of income.
I've had several people offer me opportunities like selling jewelry, or selling kids toys or selling pampered chef stuff. And while I love that stuff, and love many aspects of that stuff it's really just not for me. I sold Avon (several times actually) And I could never make money on it. It's true. I suck at it. In fact, it usually ended up costing me more money than I could bring in.
Oh I know what you're thinking....."You just don't know how to sell" Which isn't true. I KNOW what has to be done. It's just not in my personality type to do them. I can't be pushy or naggy or talk people into buying things that I haven't used myself or haven't tried, and if I have tried them I can't lie about whether or not I like them. (And I LOVE Avon stuff)
I am just not a salesperson. However, if someone would like to sell stuff FOR me and just give me the money I'd be all over that. Yeah, I didn't think so.
So thanks guys for the offers, I know you're doing a great job selling your stuff, it's just not for me. Plus I don't think Adam would be too thrilled with me taking that up again. Seriously....you should ask him about that sometime.
I agree with everything you said. I tried selling from home once, it lasted like 6 months, not my personality either. When i dream about being a full-time SAHM selling some sort of product is not a viable option for supplementing DH's income.
