Happy New Side Hustle!

Looking for a zero investment side hustle or even a full time work from home career? I got you! Avon. Seriously. It costs nothing to become or remain a rep. You do need to place at least one order, even of your own, about every six months or so to keep your Ambassador account active, but there are no membership fees or other bullshit like that.

Read on to see why becoming an Avon Ambassador might be a great opportunity for you to supplement your income and save on your own beauty, fashion, jewelry, home and fragrance products. Further down are other side hustle options, too.

Why You’ll Love Joining Avon

• New Ambassadors get 20–50% off their own beauty orders of $40+

• Digital tools to work from home or on the go

• A free online store you can personalize for 24/7 sales

• Dream-vacation incentive trips

• Tons of great virtual training from Avon's amazing Learning and Development team

• Access to affordable health insurance, online tuition discounts and more perks

You also get first dibs on the new stuff, discounted product bundles not available to the general public and so much more. They even have new training seminars in person. I can't personally afford to go to any because you do have to pay a registration fee and provide your own transportation. I believe they call them Beauty Mastery workshops and they feature professional makeup artists and other beauty experts leading training seminars with pro tips on makeup application, skincare and more. Those who are lucky enough to be able to attend walk away with exclusive gift packs and also get special discount offers on product the rest of us don't get.

You can sell exclusively through your free online Avon shop or do traditional face to face sales. Having no transportation, I have to rely on my online Avon shop but since I've been on Bluesky I've actually been doing pretty well with just that. The possibilities are endless when you are able to add in person sales. I don't spend a penny on advertising or promotion. I just share links and info about products on social media. And actually just Bluesky and Pinterest now. If you have large followings on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or TikTok you could probably do way better than I have.

Who Can Be an Avon Ambassador? Only the Ladies?

Nope. I'm no lady and I'm the self appointed official ANTIFA Avon Ambassador. Though Avon remains committed to its original mission of empowering women, they don't exclude us men folk. Avon was pretty much the first business a woman could open on her own, even before they were allowed to have credit cards in their own names instead of their husbands'. Avon created "influencers." Avon Ladies were the original brand ambassadors. Wow.

Being an Avon Leader has given me the opportunity to empower men and women; to partner with them, to help them accomplish their goals and their dreams that they set aside, and show them the possibility of earning extra income with their Avon business.

— Timothy Brown Gold Leader since 2011

Just a few of the places you can earn cash back when you shop online through Swagbucks

Not looking to put in that much effort but still want a side hustle for a little extra pocket money? I got you again! Swagbucks has helped me supplement my income a little. One year I was even able to buy my entire family nice Christmas gifts with only my earnings from Swagbucks. You get paid to take surveys, complete offers and other things, even downloading and playing games. You can also get cash back on online shopping. It's definitely worth looking into. You can put as much or as little time into as you choose with no earnings limits that I'm aware of. You can cash out to PayPal deposits, gift cards to dozens of retail locations or even physical or digital Visa or Mastercard debit cards. Check out Swagbucks here.

Screw Amazon's affiliate program. Go Temu!

I haven't had any luck yet, but it's free to join. They pay commissions from referral sales via Paypal or credit to use on Temu which is what I'm after. They make sharing links to products easy and quick so you're not out much by trying. If I had Instagram, TikTok and all that shit I could probably do better. I only use Bluesky and Pinterest and I don't post Temu links on Bluesky because people are really funny about sales stuff on there and I already do my Avon and the haters pretty much overlook that one. I don't want to press my luck. Check out Temu's Affiliate Program.

iHerb: No cash, but shopping credits

Conveniently, I was able to copy the basic deets of their program to share here. Bonus! You can't earn actual money, but I have gotten site credit from reviews and sharing product links that sure helped me get some things I needed.
