How to read this comparison

  • Starter kit is the up-front purchase to begin selling. Some companies also charge an annual renewal or a website fee; check the company page.
  • Personal commission is your cut of your own retail sales. Downline commission is what you earn on sales by people you recruit; a plan with no downline pay is single-level, one with overrides is multi-level.
  • Sales to earn the kit back divides the minimum kit by the minimum commission. It is the retail volume you must sell before the kit has paid for itself, before any other costs.
  • Most multi-level plans publish an income disclosure statement. Ask for it, and read it, before you sign. Typical participants earn far less than the top ranks.
  • Figures are company-reported and can change. Spot something out of date? Tell us.

Joining Thirty-one has been a blessing for both me and my family. I joined looking to just earn a little extra money to fill the gap of being a new stay at home mom. Thirty-one quickly became a fun hobby that helped me meet so many amazing people. The products are ones I personally use and love to gift to others. Personalization makes such a difference when gift giving and shows you took time to think of that person. Whether you are looking to save money on your own gifts or to earn extra money, I encourage you to consider the ease of Thirty-one Gifts!

I have been using Pure Romance products since 2004. I have been in and out of the company but this last time I decided I am making it. I've been in almost 2 years now! I love the company's products and mission. I love the people and everything about it. If you love a product you can share with anyone. I believe it's very important to believe in what you do and have a passion for what you sell! I will make this my full time job in less than 5 years!

I have been a customer of Thirty-One Gifts for about 5 years, and I have never been disappointed! I have loved it so much that I started selling these products about 6 months ago. These products are a high quality, reasonable pricing and shipping cost. I particularly love the ability to personalize purchases, so that they stand out even more! I am proud to be an Independent Consultant for these products!

Plexus is by far the best products I have ever tried. It completely changed my life! I was suffering from chronic pain and migraines as well as numbness in both arms and hands due to 3 herniated discs, spinal stenosis and bone spurs. Within 2 months I was able to ween myself all prescription medications and I'm backbto coaching baseball with my boys and working 3 jobs! I haven't had this much energy or felt this good in 20 years!!
