Yes, if you get enough outside orders to submit it as a show ($150 or more) you could just put a catalog show in your name.
Don't forget, if you do submit individual orders, it ships to their house. The shipping and handling is not $4.25 like an order for a guest. It depends on how much they order and where it is being sent to. Also the tax would be from what county/state they are from.

You can be the host of catalog and cooking shows. There's a box to check mark that says "Consultant as host". You enter in the guest names and orders just like normal and then you can get the host benefits. The only thing that you don't get are any "Booking Benefits". And you don't earn commission on anything you order for yourself.
