Book Parties
A "book party" is a gathering of people (typically on a virtual platform) who get to learn about the features & benefits of Usborne Books & More books from me! A host who partners with me for a book party will earn free books based on the sales earned from the party and help other families learn about books that will benefit and engage their children. Win, win!
Picture yourself on the couch, in your PJs, wearing a face mask, sipping some wine after the kids have been tucked into bed, sharing the love of children's books with your tribe! Your role as a hostess is to invite the guests, get excited about the party, and allow me to do all of the "work" while you get your people pumped up!
BEFORE THE PARTY:
I create custom wish lists for your guests to help them narrow down some book options that will be perfect for their unique kiddos. My priority is to ensure that you have a successful party so you get as many free books as possible. My goal is to promote literacy and help families learn about awesome books for their kids - all while you earn awesome books for your own family. How does that sound?
DURING THE PARTY:
(It's about 40 minutes long.)
I will share 10 posts highlighting Usborne Books & More and what they provide and offer These are really fun posts with pictures, videos, and tons of literacy tips. Don't worry, as a fellow mamma, I will ensure that everyone's valuable time is worthwhile. I also offer a giveaway to your guests just for joining in on the fun. The virtual parties are really exciting and very casual! (Considering we are all in the comfort of our own home, rocking our favorite pj's. Am I right?)
Join My Team
As an Usborne Books & More consultant, I love to find other people who also find joy in children’s books AND helping other families build their home libraries. There are so many benefits to becoming a UBAM consultant (25%+ commission on all sales, zero monthly sales minimum or requirements, opportunities to earn free books and free vacations even) but perhaps one of the most amazing parts about this experience is working with my team.
When you join my team as a consultant, you are never alone. My goal is to support each of my team members with their individual goals. For some, that’s as simple as building their home library for free or discounted prices; for several, it’s extra income each month; and for others, it’s dreaming as big as earning a 6-figure income for their family.
Whatever your goals are, I’ll be your number one fan — cheering you on, problem solving alongside you, and sharing all of my knowledge and tried-and-true tips to help you succeed. I genuinely want others to experience the same joy I’ve experienced in this endeavor and to promote literacy as a team. Questions? Just holler or check out my FAQ’s below for more insight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why UBAM?
Usborne Books & More offers a unique range of children's books that I wholeheartedly believe in. As a stay at home mom of three, I have seen many types of books and what they do for my little ones. UBAM books are exceptional quality (and the company stands behind that in their 50% replacement guarantee) and highly interactive with adorable content and incredible vocabulary. I also love that UBAM chooses to put money in my pocket to support my family rather than in the pocket of big box retailers.
What happens when I join?
When you officially join, you will receive a fun digital welcome packet directly from me! In the welcome packet I will ask you to share some details with me so that I can help you get started.

You will eventually receive your starter kit in the mail so you can get to know (and LOVE) some of or amazing books.
How do I make money?
Every sale through your e-commerce page as a consultant earns commission, even if you purchase books for yourself (consider this your discount). Consultans earn 25% commission on all web sales from the moment they join. If/when you promote to a leadership position, your commission will increase by 8.5%.
How do I make sales?
There are SO MANY WAYS that consultants make sales. One of the coolest things about UBAM is that no one consultant runs their business the same as another. If a customer orders a book from your website, they you have made a sale! You can host virtual book bashes, or in person events. You can curate custom book boxes for customers. You can host school book fairs (ESR certification required). You can host booths to showcase books at family and child focused events. You can share your favorite books on social media. The possibilities are endless and I want to help you figure out your unique path.
Who is eligable to be a consultant?
Anyone who is a US resident can be an Usborne Books & More Consultant.
What if I don't like or even have a Facebook?
Facebook is not a required platform, but it is certainly a very helpful platform and tool. Specifically because many other people have their networks on Facebook. You are more than welcome to create a "business only page. (Similar to how you would use an email.) This is also a great way to host parties using the platform.
What is a party?
A party is an opportunity for others to learn about literacy, UBAM, and titles great for the kids they love. Parties can take place virtually, or in person, and are very laid-back. Through sales connected to a party, hosts are eligible to earn free books. This is our fun way of getting word out about unique, interactive, high-quality children's books that are not available in big-box stores and thanking folks who join us in doing so.
What if I don't have children of my own?
We welcome you with open arms! There are many advantages to being a consultant, not just as a parent. There are several women on my team who do not have children of their own You don't have to be a parent to love these books!
What is the time commitment?
The amount of time you put in directly connects to your goals. It is completely flexible. I work during naps, several evenings a week, and whenever I can as needed. An average party is about 2.5 hours of work all together so depending on how many parties you choose to have, your workload can vary.
