I sell MaryKay and there are things you should know about direct sales. First of all, everything is a write off, but you still have to spend money to make money. I had to put in a bulk order for my first order (first order must be at least $400) and if you buy so much you get so much for free. I have been doing it for 2 1/2 months and have sold 2 things- one lipstick and one mascara. I have "donated" most of it or given my supply away as gifts to try to get repeat customers- no bites so far. I tried to market it but I am too busy. This is very much part time. I do it mostly for the discount, but I do know people who have done well with it. I am not the sales type. I think when I was talked into doing it, I was not aware of everything that was involved, and had I known all I had to buy (you spend way more than the $100 starter kit) I would not have done it. It's not for everyone, it's not for me, but I still do it because MK is all I will use. I love the product, and the company is great, but sales is not for everyone.
