I was told that I would have to wait 6 months before I can have a website and I was just wondering if this was true or not. Also do you have to pay for the website? TIA

You can get one now, but the registry and individual ordering doesn't work until you are qualified. It is $42 if you pay every 6 months or $72 if you pay every year.

Ok thanks I was wondering :)
 
That's great to know...I'll wait to get one when I'm qualified.
 
Don't wait!!!! You can still set up all your shows on your website now and have all those guests order online if they can't come. It's the easiest way to get outside orders and it really adds up!

Plus, you hosts can make their wish list and send evites through your site.

It is WELLLLLLLL worth the $$$ to me. I've been in this almost 2 years and have only gotten ONE individual order not connect to a show (or not from a family member). The individual ordering thing is not enough of a perk to wait to get your site for it, IMHO.

FYI- "evite" is a specific brand of email invitations. We are not supposed to use that word for our email invitations that are available through our PWS.

Oops--my bad!

Email invitations it is!
 
Ok, based on the above...I can get a website right away and have people order online when tied to a show just not individual orders until qualified - correct?

I'm thinking of doing a Mystery Host online show with people at work as my first show still this month, then start with the home shows in March...and that would be dependent on when I can get the website.

How soon is it activated?

YES! I have an online shoe every month where I am the host. Customers can just enter my name to order. I tell themI'll tack it on to a show to save them shipping.

It happens quickly. You could be up and running on Monday.
 
Thank you.

I have to wait 'til mid-week to process my agreement (you know, bills to pay, etc.)...waiting on tax refund to get started. But good to know I can get it and turn it around that fast! I'm anxious to see how this Online Mystery Host Party works for me...I originally thought of doing it in March but am moving it to February. ...made a nice flyer in Powerpoint...anxious to see and get some starting sales.
 
You can take show orders online but not individal orders - I wasn't sure if the biz was going to work for me so I signed up for 6 months to start out. Things were going great so in the future I will be signing up for a year at a ime
