Earn free books!
Hosting a virtual party is the easiest, no-commitment way to earn free books to build your home library.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
Before the party, I set up your online book event and get everything organized.
You connect with your people and invite anyone you think would enjoy learning about the books.
I make custom wish lists for your friends so they can explore books specifically for their kid’s unique skills and interests.
On party night, your friends "arrive" on their laptops from the comfort of their sofa (pj’s and a glass of wine or cup of chamomile tea is totally encouraged). There is NO video or recording - no one can actually see each other. So, yes - your friends can wear their face mask and dip out early if their baby starts crying, and no one will know. (This is the biggest misconception about "live" parties. I get it. No one wants to be on camera after a long day of mothering.)
I share a series of posts highlighting what makes UBAM books so special and everyone gets to follow together, interact, and ‘chat’ in real-time. The party is packed with fun photos, videos, literacy tips, and giveaways. And there’s even a feature to save titles to reference as you build your wish list! As a home educator, I love sharing details about the technical benefits for your children, but as a mother, I know our time has never been more valuable. Parties usually last 30 - 40 minutes.
You sit back, drink your hard-earned mama drink, and get your friends excited about good books. I run the show, and you simply engage with your friends - earning book credit on all sales! The exact amount will depend on the number of attendees, but most parties generate at least $100 in free books and over $50 in half-price books for the hostess (you!). Some attendees may not purchase on party night. That's okay! Your event link and the party will be accessible for a few days to give people a chance to catch up, ask questions, and purchase if they would like to.
The whole experience is very low-key and, yes, fun! I walk you through every step so it’s successful and smooth. There is never any pressure to buy or join - just us sharing our love of good books for our kiddos! My goal is to promote literacy and help you grow your home library for free!

As I watched my kids fall in love with our Usborne Books and More titles we simultaneously experienced more ease in our homeschool days. This was no coincidence, and I was excited to share this new confidence with friends. Helping others find the perfect books for the kids in their life continues to bring me so much joy. Growing a passionate team of literacy advocates has been an unexpected bonus!

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Why UBAM?
Usborne Books & More has published some of the most engaging and interactive books for decades - Usborne began publishing in 1973 in the UK and has now been in the US for over 30 years! The quality is fantastic and there is literally something for every age and interest. Even though educational excellence is at the core of their mission, UBAM is known for high-quality illustrations and high-interest topics. They really grab the attention of children! But not in a flashy obnoxious way...instead, by sharing educational concepts that are both digestible and FUN. The books are really quite unique so sharing in a personalized way is ideal. How else would anyone know where to start with over 1,800 amazing titles to choose from?
+ What happens when I join?
You get me as your Team Leader! I help you identify and get clear with your specific goals (which could be super casual or a full-fledged business...and anything in between). Our team resources are incredible and you’ll get all the tools and training to help kick off your adventure at your desired pace from day one. You’ll receive your starter kit in the mail shortly after enrolling and that will help you get to know our amazing books even better!
+ What does the kit include?
Your starter kit will include a 6-month e-business package (which includes your personal shopping site!), a selection of books, plus business materials. The books are yours to enjoy and explore or even use for your first party giveaways. Check out our new consultant kits options here!
+ Who is eligible to be a consultant?
Anyone who is a US resident can be an Usborne Books & More consultant.
+ How do I make money?
Every sale through your e-commerce page as a consultant earns a commission, even if you purchase books for yourself (consider this your discount). Consultants earn 25% commission on all web sales and in person pop-ups from the moment they join. If/when you promote to a leadership position, your commission will increase by 8.5%. There is also a division of consultants that serve libraries and schools!
+ WHAT IF MY KIDS AREN'T "LITTLE"?
UBAM has titles for children from infancy to middle school! Their young adult novels and non-fiction are incredible.
+ WHY CAN'T I BUY USBORNE BOOKS IN A STORE?
Though some stores do sell a small collection of Usborne Books, truly understanding the value of these books is best acheived by people who truly believe in them. Instead of housing their books on shelves for customers to blindly peruse, Usborne chooses to put money in the pockets of consultants who can communicate their worth and help families choose the best books for their children.
+ DO I HAVE TO BE A CONSULTANT TO EARN FREE BOOKS?
Nope! Anyone can host a party and all you do is invite - I do the rest. You'll earn free books in less than an hour. Most parties earn the hostess (you!) between $100-$200 in free books. Yes, really! If you would like to join as a consultant, though, I'd be honored to be your team leader. Shoot me an email and I'll send you all the details!
+ ARE THERE MONTHLY MINIMUMS FOR CONSULTANTS?
No, no, no. There are no requirements for sales amounts, orders, or recruiting with Usborne. You can truly run this business however it feels right for you. There is no pressure to meet quotas which means you can share these books with genuine excitement and a clear conscience.
+ WHAT IF I'M NOT "SALESY"?
That's a great thing. We don't want sales people. We want people who are passionate about literacy, language, and high-quality books. If you believe in the product, it will show. No smoke and mirrors necessary.
+ WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A BACKGROUND IN RETAIL OR EDUCATION?
No problem! This business is for anyone who wants to expand literacy. Period. You will be trained and supported by an incredible team of leaders who have found great success and purpose with Usborne. It would be our pleasure to help you be successful too - no matter your background.
