    You can sign up with most companies if you are 18, because that is the minimum age that you must be to enter into a binding legal contact.

    There are many different companies that use independent distributors or reps to market their products.

    Many have great products and most have fewer reps to compete against for business than Mary Kay or Avon.

    Here are the names of some other cosmetic/skin care companies:

    Arbonne

    Beauticontrol

    Jafra

    Mia Bella Beauty

    Sensaria

    There are probably others, but those are the ones that came to mind.

    Of course there are other companies that offer all sorts of other types of products that you can market - books, toys, candles, scrapbooking supplies, food, etc.

    Compare the products, the companies, the training available, the approved marketing methods, profit margins and compensation plans to help you make the best decision for you!

    It will help you to be successful if you do whatever you can to learn about marketing and sales techniques - read books, ebooks, listen to training webinars and conference calls, or ecourses offered by the company you choose and use the information to make up a business plan for your business. If you do, you will be miles ahead of the average person starting out.

    Good luck!

    There are so many great companies out there, but most do require that you are at least 18. What is your passion? Is there a product that you really love and feel you could represent the company well?

    It's important to become involved with a company where you love the product and believe in the company. For me, I was looking for a reputable company where my customers would continue to come back for more. I ruled out jewelry or purses, because I know that I don't generally seek out those consultants. I only buy when I am at a home party in order to support the hostess. So with that in mind, Scentsy made sense...and it was a good decision for me.

    Think about your passion and take some time to do some research. Ask a lot of questions and be sure to take the time to select a great sponsor. Your sponsor can really help you find success in your business.

    I wish you luck! I hope you find just what you're looking for.

    All the best towards your success!
