Hi Sara,
You’ve come to the right place. Barefoot is a wonderful company that’s fun to work for. It is totally flexible and you are putting wonderful books into the hands of children. As you can see from my blog, I do many different types of events, I also do home parties and school book fairs.
Now until April 30, Barefoot is running a Stallholder Special. Join for $39.99 and receive the Starter Pack for 50% off. The pack is $200 worth of merchandise for $39.99. You can learn more at http://www.barefoot-books.com/us/site/pages/926_generic_.php?user_name=dawnc&rep_code=US-1007381

Hi Dawn,
I’m just learning, too! And I missed the offer! Will it come again (or extend)? And, while I am interested in possibly doing this for the joy of work I’m passionate about (amazing books!!!), my math teacher husband calculated that I’d need to sell about 70 books a month to make even $200 before taxes. That seems like a lot for not even grocery money. Do you need to travel a lot to make enough sales to even profit? (Traveling is a bit tough for me.) I’m open and optimistic but questioning… Any advice? Thanks so much, and what a nice blog!

Hi Megan
The spring offer has ended but we now have revamped our system. It is now free for anyone to join Barefoot Books! With the free membership you will receive the discount (20%-33%) and have access to buttons and banners that you can display on your own site/ blog and other organization site/blog to make sales. If you wanted to do parties, book drives and community events you can purchase the Starter Pack for $99.99.
There are several ways you can start your Barefoot business and be successful. First off, please know that starting a Barefoot business is not a get rich quick business but one that can be profitable if you put the time into it. You can be profitable in the following ways:
1) Sell the books person to person. This can happen in home parties, community events and school drives. With every order you receive your discount (20%-33%) and a 20% free gift allowance.
2) Web Sales- You can purchase a Barefoot Books website or you can put your button an blogs and sites. You’ll get your percentage (again 20%-33%) the following month,
3)Build a team- From the moment you sign up you can sponsor other Stallholders. You will receive bonuses based on sales made.
Barefoot Books is a very progressive, family friendly, environmentally conscious company.
Let me know if I can answer any more questions.
