[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once sold Tastefully Simple.

I liked most if the food but it was pricey for what it is.

I did not "work" my business which means I had a couple parties, delivered the products, and sent a couple follow up emails but did little else. The person who recruited me got a job out of state, moved , and decided to drop out herself. I did too a month or so later.

I may have made $50 in a year. The cost of supplies was crazy - everything from little tasting cups to little party bags you were supposed to hand out to party guests. The time commitment was also way higher than I anticipated. Each party took at least 3 hours of prep, the party took @3 hours. I never met one person who was selling who was making anything even close to a part time salary.

I still like their stuff and do buy it on occasion.[/quote]

Exact same experience here.  At first I thought I could source the supplies elsewhere and save some money (regular plates, not TS plates), but the time it took to prepare for the parties was a major drain.  I hosted my launch party, then one friend had one, and one friend of that friend.  I took re-orders for about 6 months.  Never earned anything but free product.  I'm still a Seasoned Salt and Beer Bread fan![/quote]
