Full review
I have decided to do another review on my job with USBORNE as it was nearly a year ago since joining...so its an update really.

BACK TO THE BEGINNING........................

I had my 2nd child and wanted/needed extra cash.
I couldnt go back to my current job as the cost of childcare and the complexity of arranging people to drop and collect my elder child from nursery was all a bit too much.
AND this time round I didn't really want to go back to work,I was having far too much fun!!!!!!!!!

SO me being me,started scouring the Interent for jobs I could do from home...
I registered with Mystery shopping companies,but jobs were few and far in between,never going to make a million this way!

I then came across a popular website with lots of message forums and there was a working from home forum...
On here I found lots of helpful advice,about scams (envelope stuffing etc etc ) and then I came across childrens books.
This is something I considered doing after my first child was born,so I decided to look into it..

USBORNE are a legit company who are registered with the DSA (Direct selling association),there website
www.usbornebooksathome.co.uk
is a professional website with all the credentials i needed to satisfy myself

The only other thing on my mind was TIME! could i really do this and earn money as well as doing nursery runs and looking after an active baby!

Thats the beauty...
I went in with my eyes opens
I decided I wouldnt make my million in my first year,but build it up slowly,as not to let the children suffer

I needn't have worried as this job is so child friendly its unreal
I can drop Grace off at nursery ,go to a mums and tots group for 10 set up ,William can have the freedom of the toddler group,I can let people broswe amongst the books, I dont need to do any selling speel if I dont want to as Usborne are a household name.2 hours later
collect orders
collect William
and away I go...

The same applys to home events
I also sell at summer/xmas fetes which isn't so baby friendly,but Grace certainly enjoys herself...

SO WHO ARE USBORNE BOOKS AT HOME

They are the home selling division of The award winning Usborne publishing , the "at home" division was founded in 1981 and now is the most succesful business of its kind



THE BOOKS........................

From the "at home" division, you have access to all the books in the Usborne publishing range thats over 1000 titles.
all are throughly researched and Usborne have recently won 2 awards for two educational books...

There are story books for babies/bath books/cautionary tales/educational books,which are all geared to the key stages at school/interent linked books to name a few..
and not forgetting the aclaimed farmyard tales,for which most people know USBORNE for.

I could rave about USBORNE for ever,so I will stop here.
I love books,thats what drives me on.
I am steadly building up a business that I know will continue when my children are older.
my decision to part with £38 (start up fee0 was the best thing I could have done...

If you are looking into working from home and my advice is too research your "job" before siging anything..
have a look at working from home forums!
have a look on here if its a buisness opp,someone else may have written a review on it...

and when you decide which ones for you
GO FOR IT and enjoy yourself

Thanks for reading

Deenaxx
