I started selling for Scentsy a little over a year ago for several months.

That's when I realized that my city alone was riddled with Scentsy consultants everywhere and because the woman who recruited me was a mutual friend- most of my friends were already her clients. I realized that lots of my friends who already liked scentsy and bought their products, already had consultants that they were loyal to. If I wanted to build this business I was going to have to put aside a lot of my free time in order to do so.

So I went out and handed out catalogues, business cards, samples and what have you around my neighborhood and the response was less than what I expected. I would really have to work to make this worth the time of day.

I realized that most of them women who were making okay money have been working hard at this for more than 2 years to grow their clientele. Most of them were also stay at home moms or part time workers- I had a full time job, a boyfriend and a life outside of work. I didn't want to spend all my spare time preparing scentsy orders, driving around the city dropping off products and hosting parties that nobody really wants to host.

Then I did some research and realized that scentsy isn't the healthiest choice to have in your home as the wax products are mostly made of petroleum by-products and not true wax. When I had a bad month- I lost money because of the monthly fee you have to pay in order to remain a member and the "discounts" aren't enough to keep me around.

All in all if you're looking for a way to make cash on the side- there's way better opportunities and ways to make that money. If you love scentsy and just want to share it with those around you and have a perk of potentially making some money then go for it but don't expect much if you aren't willing to or have the time to put in a huge amount of effort into growing your connections.

Selling Scentsy is not for everyone. Sorry to hear you had a negative experience.

You have to order around $300 worth every 3 months to "stay active"

Think she meant the $150 every three months in sales.

So you thought you would get rich quick? That's not how it works.
