Usborne books are sold through the multilevel marketing, home business division of Educational Development Corporation since 1989. The division is called Usborne Books at Home. Usborne Company History
As an independent consultant, you have the opportunity to earn money and build a home business selling Usborne books, working either part-time, full-time or just some of the time.
Some start as a hobbyist doing just one show a week. Others do this part-time doing two shows a week - which is really only about 6-8 hours at most outside of your home but making on average £50-£100 a week. And still others work this business full-time doing 4-5 shows a week along with school and library appointments. The choice is yours.
One thing to note about the Usborne Book opportunity, which is different from most other direct-selling opportunities, is that you are not "required" to buy or sell a certain amount of product each month to stay active nor buy a new kit - ever! Business Requirements
Thus, you won't end up with a garage full of product because you were "forced" to buy product - unless you want to. ;-) This business is the perfect WAHM - "Working at Home Mom" business opportunity as it is very flexible and family-friendly.
You also are not limited to a certain income as you are with a traditional job. If you need more income you can just sell more. You alone determine your success by the amount of effort you put forth towards your selling and recruiting, anywhere.
