How to Become an Avon Ambassador
Last Updated on April 2, 2025 by Mary Bertsch, Avon Rep
Looking for a fun, flexible way to earn extra cash—or maybe even start a small business from home?
If you’re someone who loves beauty, enjoys helping others, and wants something that fits around your life (not the other way around), then learning how to become an Avon Ambassador could be just what you need.
Let me walk you through how you can easily start your own beauty business.
What Is an Avon Ambassador?
You might’ve heard people say Avon representative, Avon rep, or now, Avon Ambassador—they all mean the same thing. It’s someone (like me!) who shares and sells Avon products with others—either through the paper Avon brochure or an easy-to-use online store.
But this role isn’t just about products—it’s about helping people feel good, having fun along the way, and building real connections with others. Whether you’re introducing a classic fragrance or a new skincare product, you’re helping someone feel their best.
How to Join Avon
This is one of the best parts: it’s completely free to join Avon! If you’re wondering how to join Avon or how to become an Avon Ambassador, it only takes a few minutes to sign up online.
Since there’s no Avon Starter Kit anymore you’re free to build your own by:
- Starting with one of the Ambassador bundles filled with bestsellers
- Choosing a few Avon products you already love or want to try
- Picking out value-packed bundles to share and demo
Even though you can join Avon for free, just know that Ambassadors are responsible for their own brochures, samples, shipping costs, and business tools. It’s a small investment compared to starting most businesses, but it’s good to be clear and upfront.
Once you’ve signed up to sell Avon, you’ll get your own personalized online store link, and you can start selling Avon online right away.
How Does Avon Work?
When you become an Avon Ambassador, you have the flexibility to sell Avon products in different ways according to your customers’ preferences:
- You can sell using the paper Avon brochures or share your Avon online store.
- Customers can shop directly through your online store, or if they prefer, you can take their order, place it for them, and personally deliver it once it arrives.
- You pay for any shipping costs when placing customer orders or getting business supplies.
- You keep the profit based on your sales level each campaign.
Whether someone prefers flipping through an Avon brochure or scrolling through your online store, you’ve got both options covered. Avon gives you the flexibility to run your business the way you want to.
Can You Make Money Selling Avon?
If you’re asking, can you make money selling Avon? The answer is yes—but like anything, it depends on the effort you put in.
Some Ambassadors earn grocery money, while others build it into a full-time income. The Avon compensation plan rewards both personal sales and team building, so you can grow as big (or keep it as small) as you’d like.
Here’s a peek at how much you make selling Avon based on your campaign sales:
- $120–$349.99 = 30% on beauty, 20% on fashion/home
- $350–$1,499.99 = 40% on beauty, 25% on fashion/home
- $1,500–$6,499.99 = 45% on beauty
- $6,500+ = 50% on beauty
You can also earn team bonuses if you decide to mentor others and grow your own team of Avon Ambassadors.
