Hi,
I have never done Avon but do work part time for another pp business thats sells educational books and toys. I do make money with after initial outlay little cost other than catalogues.
If you set aside every day and manage your time well it can pay off. I am not a pushy sales women but now arrive $25 an hour. I meet lovely people and my kids use my kit and I love what I do and make a little bit of cash on the side.
You can make money if you want to. I am sure Avon is the same . Good luck,
