My January 2011 Earnings

My Thirty-One business in January really started to turn into more than just a few dollars. First, I had four catalog parties. None of them were huge -- each about $200. But, that was enough to earn a ton of free stuff from Thirty-One. I should explain that Thirty-One offers promotions to their consultants all of the time. Some of the promotions interest me and some do not. The January consultant promotion did not even cross my mind until I had already submitted two catalog parties (each $200 in sales) and they sent me a giant box of free stuff via UPS. It was over $120 worth of new Spring/Summer products. Awesome! Then the next week, I received another UPS package filled with all of the new Spring/Summer 2011 catalogs. Cha-Ching! Then the next week, I had another package from UPS containing a black table cover (really nice) with a white screen print of the Thirty-One logo. Love it! Plus, they added $25 into my business account so that I can order door prizes for my customers, more Thirty-One products for me, etc. I think it is safe to say that the $25 business credit was spent within hours. I bought the Spring/Summer $80 Add On Kit (containing over $250 worth of new products) for just $55! Yeah, more new stuff for me!

Here are my January stats:
$835.21 in sales
$208.81 in commission
$50 earned in incentives (black Thirty-One display tablecloth & $25 business credit)
$25 earned in new Spring/Summer selling season catalogs
$120 earned in new Spring/Summer products (all that I did was submit two catalog parties between January 1-15)
$200 earned in new Spring/Summer Add On Kit--$280 value (I was able to purchase this for $80--totally worth every penny)

PROFIT FOR JANUARY 2011: $603.81

My December 2010 Earnings

I think it is worth sharing how much money I am really making on my Thirty-One personalized gifts business. As you know, I did not get started to make a lot of money. Instead, I was planning on just taking advantage of the consultant discount to satisfy my own habit and obsession with tote bags, purses, and anything personalized for my kiddos. Well, December 2010 was really my first full month of being a Thirty-One consultant. This involved me spending about $115 after shipping and taxes to get a wonderful hot pink box delivered to my door via UPS filled with over $300 in Thirty-One products and business supplies. It was literally like Christmas when I opened that box. It had everything I needed to get started as a Thirty-One consultant!

But, here are my December 2010 Thirty-One money making stats:
Sales: $752.00
Commission: $188.00
Expenses: $115 (after shipping and tax) for the new consultant kit
Earned Products: $300 from new consultant kit
PROFIT: $373

So much more than a Thirty-One discount...

So I started my Thirty-One business in November 2010 so that I could buy some Christmas presents for my family and friends at a discount. Seriously. The first time I looked at the catalog, I had picked out over $500 worth of items that I wanted. The reality was my Christmas budget did not have room for $500 in Thirty-One tote bags and purses. That is when I decided to become a consultant and purchase everything that I "wanted" and everything that I "needed" for Christmas gifts. I only ended up spending less than $200. What a relief!

Anyway, in January I shared on my Facebook page details on the thermal tote sale with a link to my website. A few of my friends commented. Not much activity. Then I uploaded all of my contacts into the Thirty-One newsletter program. I was delighted at the results. Many old friends contacted me and asked for a copy of the recent catalog...I booked a few catalog parties.

Never once did I think that I was going to "get rich" on my Thirty-One business. Instead, I thought it would be a great way to earn extra money to spend at the zoo with my kids, buy them a new pair of shoes or coat, and maybe treat my husband to a date. Nothing more than maybe $50 or $100 a month. Max.

Things have since changed. It is now March. I have sold over $3000 in Thirty-One products and I couldn't be more thrilled about my success. So check it out for yourself on my website www.mythirtyone.com/48897 and you too could be making money selling Thirty-One personalized gifts!
