I did it for a while. I found it really difficult and I didn't enjoy it. You do have to pay some sort of sign up fee, can't remember what it is, but you pay it in a couple of installments. They give you your first few brochures for free (kind of depends how generous the team leader in your area is though) and then after that, you have to pay for them. I found it really time consuming and didn't enjoy lugging heavy bags of books around in the rain. Not to mention, most people don't leave them out for you (you normally have to deliver the same brochures to more than one area, so it's good to ask for them back even when they don't want to order anything), and if they do they just leave them on their front garden so they get covered in dirt and get soaking wet. Also, in my area at least, I found that hardly anyone wanted to order anything. Plus, sometimes some of the stuff can go out of stock, so that really put some people off. Doing returns are a pain as well. So, I was lucky if I broke even, and that doesn't really factor in the time and energy I put into it. Some people really enjoy it though and I suppose if you have a lot of friends or family in the area who are interested in the products, then it's easier to make money.
