Cosmetic companies such as Avon and Mary Kaye pose wonderful job opportunities for moms to work from home. I think it is safe to say that between these two companies have allowed literally millions of moms to work from home. This is one opportunity for moms to work form home where start up costs are minimal, name recognition is tremendous and there is also a very good chance of building long term friendships with the people you deal with. Not only that, they provide good products at reasonable prices. Stop and think about it, how many people have not at least heard of Avon.
I can look back at three distinct periods of my life and tie each of them in with an Avon representative. In my home town a mom working from home came to visit with my mother every three weeks or so. Mom almost always bought something and occasionally even I would buy something to give as a gift.
Later my wife as a mom worked from home for Avon. It did not require her to give up much time with the children and in fact sometimes the kids would go with. A really nice thing about this was also that with many of the established customers they would call her to place there orders.
Yet later in life it was my wife being visited by yet another mom working from home. They became fast friends and we got to know each other very well. In each of the three cases the amount of money earned was not mind boggling; but, it did help to supplement incomes of moms trying to raise young families with a minimum of disruption to family life. So if you are looking to make millions, this is not the way. If you are looking to provide a reasonable supplement to family income and make good friends along the way, then this is for you.
