Are there any Usborne book representatives out there? I always thought you just bought them from the bookstore or online. I never knew they had representatives. I was wondering if you liked it and what you thought about being a representative. I'm looking into possibly doing this mainly to get discounts on books. But also to make some money as well. Please let me know what your opinion is on this. Thanks a bunch!!!

Hi,
I became a "rep" for the same reason....a little extra money, but mostly for the discount on the books. The starter set was about $100, but I got a ton of books. To me it was worth it for that alone. I had a few shows, but I feel like the "rep" needs to have that "seller" quality. It wasn't me. I didn't want to hound my friends and family. The on-line website allows you to have "internet shows." Again I would mention it, but I never pushed so I wasn't too successful.

The support of my "lead rep" was great. They have an on-line forum, my leader provided training & online meetings for her group, etc. One thing that many people seemed to find success with was book shows at schools, daycares,libraries, etc. Again, not my thing so I never did that. Eventually I stopped b/c I was buying WAY more than I was making, but I don't regret doing it. I now have a large variety of great books for much less than I would have paid &I I got them with the startup fee.

I always bought them in the bookstore. I just went on amazon and over 8,000 titles popped up! Sorry, it doesn't sound like a very good way to make money or earn discounts if people can get them anywhere, why would they need a representative?

Hi there,
I just wanted to share that Usborne is an amazing company to work for! They have been a blessing in my life for over 10 years! I started when my girls were 3 and 10 months just to get the books and make a little extra cash. Now, my highschooler and middle schooler are excellent readers, still loving the books AND love helping with my business.
With no minimums to meet and a low start up cost, Usborne is a great way to build your home library, get books at a discount AND make some great cash , too.

If you ever have any questions, please feel free to email me at ____@____.com
Have a great day!
