I have a question and I hope this comes across the way I want it to (i.e., no snark and just honest curiosity):

I get the idea from the thread - and I could be totally wrong - that people are okay with "breaking even."

I don't understand this. None of us would say "I went to work and never got paid, but eh, that's ok." Because that's essentially what you are doing.

Maybe I missing something though. Many have mentioned the social interactions. Does that really make up for little to zero actual monetary compensation? If so, these must be some parties.

Just curious and I would love to hear thoughts on this.

Well, ideally you don't just break even. That is not how you run a business. However maybe they loved the products and got to have them for free.

I am loving working with Thirty-One Gifts. I figured I would do it as a side-gig and it has been so popular that I am booking quite often!
I have made over $1000 in 4 months and earned $500+ in free products with their easy incentives.
Yes, this has totally been worthwhile for me!
It has not been "hard" work for me, since I do it when the kids go to bed and DH watches TV. I hate sitting idle, so that's when I do my orders, etc.

I'm probably going to be ordering something soon but didn't know of anyone....but now I do!

I will add that I am a SAHM for the last 7 years and intend to keep it that way, hopefully always. I definitely do not break even, I make a profit and one that is worth it and in 2013 I intend to do even better! It's what you put in to it.
I put enough in to make a nice profit but still be SAHM without missing a beat. I also like that I do not have to get paid from the company, I keep my commission right away.
