When you sell Avon, how you sell determines how you get paid. And, no matter what, you're in charge.
1. Avon Pays You
In some cases, Avon will pay you your earnings directly. Think of it as money owed to you directly from Avon. Here are two examples:
When customers order through your online store/ affiliate link, the customer will pay right at the time of purchase and Avon will deliver the products to them directly, and, as long as you have a total of $40 in sales for the campaign, then Avon credits you with the earnings from the sale.
This is also true for bonuses you earn from Avon. For example, if you have team members that you have brought to Avon, Avon gives you bonuses based on the sales of your team. It doesn't come out of the money your team members earn--rather it is Avon paying you to support them. So those Representatives have someone who is invested in their success.
In both of these cases, Avon has a special payment hub called Avon Wallet that they use to pay you. Once you set it up, you can decide where you want the money to go (bank account, credit card, prepaid card, PayPal, etc.

2. Your Customers Pay You
You can also set it up so that your money comes directly from your customers.
When you order products as a Representative from Avon.com, Avon only charges you a portion of the brochure price of the products. Then, when you sell them to your customers at full price and collect the money, the difference is yours to keep.
Example: you order a $10 mascara. You are at the 25% discount/commission level so Avon charges you only $7.50 for the mascara.** Then, you sell that mascara for the full price, collecting $10 from you customer. You pay yourself back and the extra $2.50 is your earnings.
* This example does not include sales tax or shipping.
* In order to qualify for a discount/commission, your order must be a total of $40 or more. I recommend order for multiple customers at a time.
Here are a few excellent strategies for selling this way:
Sell from the Brochure. Many Reps will give out brochures (either paper or using the free digital brochure) and take orders from their customers. They will either pre-collect the money or ask for a desposit. Then the Rep orders the products from Avon (Avon will ask for a payment when you submit the order so pre-collecting would cover that.) Then Avon ships the products to the Rep and the Rep gets the products to the customers.
Vendor/table events are excellent ways to make lots of sales fast. We have team members who sell thousands of dollars worth of products in a weekend at big events. But smaller events are also great! Here you would bring products and set them up and have people purchase them on the spot.
In-person Parties/Sip & Shops are a variation of this on-the-spot selling. Feature a product or two and host a get together where customers can try a tester and buy one to take home that day. NOTE: you can also do events and then have the customers actually place their order through your online store/affliliate link, in which case Avon would credit you the earnings from the sale. (see above)
In all three of these examples, the Rep is purchasing the products from Avon and then selling them at a higher price. So the earnings come from the money collected from the customers.
I personally have done all of these strategies, and vary my approach. I have a consistent online business with Direct Delivery customer orders and Leadership bonuses based on the sales of the team I build and mentor. I also add in vendor events, etc. when it works for me.
