Why I created Helen's Book Nook

I think most of us have known the Usborne publishing house at some time or another. Their books were in my bookcase as a child and I've read many of their titles to my own children over the years too. I therefore have 100% confidence in the quality of their editions - after all I've lived with them.
Back in January I saw an advert on a French 'Work From Home' facebook group with a fabulous, too good to be missed joining offer. I'd actually been toying with the idea of working with both anglo and franco phone books for a few months so I jumped at the chance and signed with the lovely Jessica as sponsor.
Now yes there is a time limit and minimum order to be made - £100 worth of sales in the first 3 months - but as I'd planned to use some of the books for my teaching I just put a little money aside each month 'just in case'. As luck would have it World Book Day fell within my first 3 months and I held a very sucessful facebook party. Between the orders and what I wanted to purchase myself, I hit the target, got a half price book for my stock and 10% of the order total in free books as I was the 'party host'. Not bad really.
As many who know me will tell you, I'm not a hard sell kind of person. I do what I do more to keep me out of mischief (I suffer from ptsd and social anxiety, so can't work a normal job) than to be a millionaire BUT I do love what I'm doing and I have a fab team behind me. Even though I'm not a big player, my group leader Vikki sent me a surprise after my facebook party (you can see it in the video) and today when I opened the letterbox, my lovely sponsor Jessica has sent me a book just to say well done and encourage me.
It's why I wouldn't hesitate recommending to anyone to join our team. I, of course, have good knowledge of the implications of trading in France, but our team also comprises of people throughout Europe. SO wherever you are, if you are tempted give me a shout for a no obligation chat
