I'm debating selling makeup through Mary Kay. a friend of mine says she makes a lot of money from her sales and recruiting people, but other people have told me it's really hard and there isn’t much money to make. These two view points are so conflicting and it has me confused! how does this company work? Is it based on sales or recruiting people? Is it based on both? Are there other ways to earn money or does the company have extras (perks, I guess you could call them?) either way, before i make a decision, im trying to do my research because i don’t want to waste my time or money on something that doesn’t offer a return on my investment.
