Usborne Books - A Home Based Business

My name is Barbara Cerbie and I am a SAHM to a 1 year old daughter. I just recently became a consultant for Usborne Children's Books. I came into contact with Usborne books by responding to an ad in a parents magazine that Sharon VanderEnde (my supervisor) placed 10 months ago. My maternity leave was ending in October and I really wanted to stay home with my daughter & still be able to help my husband in contributing to the bills. I've tried a few other businesses in the past several months and have now decided to give Usborne a try.

I have had lots of responses so far. I have set a goal to make $2000 in sales and have 5 consultants underneath me in my first 12 weeks in the business. One of my long term goals is to be able to move back to the Portland, Oregon area as I have lots of family & friends out there. Another goal is to purchase a bigger house!

Usborne Books has a web page where you can take a look at some of their books on-line. If you are interested in ordering books (have a catalog party to get LOTS of FREE books) or are interested in becoming a consultant, email me at mcerb@prodigy.net for more information.
