How we at Paparazzi would like to help...


Well, it is hard for me to post about how great the business is, or how much profit there is, or really anything tonight. Because for me, as Amanda, I am sick to my stomach. As we all know our nation was shocked again today. See, I am a mother of two small girls. Both have also been in school until now. My oldest Allie, is 5 and goes to Kinder. My youngest Jenny, is 4 and goes to, well she used to go to preschool when I worked a 70 hour a week career but now she spends her days with Mommy.

After dinner tonight, we sat down as a family and tried to as properly as we could to discuss what had happened. But honestly, I have no idea how to tell them the truth. See, I pride myself on being honest and transparent. How do I explain this to two small children??

So, I was thinking about all of the additional things that these families are going through. I would assume that most of them didn't have life insurance for their children. How do you tell other siblings? What kind of counseling they will need?

The thought that I had was the truth. At a time like this, being so close to Christmas, how many average American families have the money to send in a notable size donation to help heal the families, friends, school, town, and everyone else effected by this horrible event. But then I got an email sent to me from some of my Paparazzi Family. They all had the same idea.

As you know, Paparazzi items are all $5.00. So what if everyone sent in only $5.00 as a donation? Since nationally we have roughly 12,000 consultants that would be over $60,000 dollars! So that is what we did. Now most of you don't know that I signed up under the 5th highest person in the company. She is under the number 1 person. So we have spread this like wildfire!!

I would like to invite you to please donate. Being the mother of a child in elementary, I couldn't conceive this happening to our children. Please, understand that ALL of your money will be sent straight to the victims. The JEM Pro Paparazzi Family is committed to help relieve some of the burden by this tragic event. Please take a few moments of your time and donate just $5.00.

You can do so here : http://www.gofundme.com/1ougdg


If you are unable to spare the $5.00, please
mail sympathy cards or letters of support and solidarity to the school, the school address is:                                                      Sandy Hook Elementary School
                                                               12 Dickenson Drive,
                                                            Sandy Hook, CT 06482

Sending a card is something small but at least it's something we all can do... Together with just $5.00 we can all make a difference!

Wow, What an awesome and amazing experience!

How it all started...


About two months ago I received a text from my mom, asking me to call her regarding an opportunity that she saw and thought would be perfect for me. At first I dismissed it. Seriously, what is this women going to come up with next. Then I received a phone call from my sister. Now my sister isn't one to jump or encourage me to do much regarding businesses. But what she had to say, really made my ears start to perk up.

Apparently our mother and her had went to a party at friends house and it was for Paparazzi Jewelry and Accessories. She told me how much fun it was, how great the pieces were, and how it was something that I would really like.

Fast forward two months, and I am in LOVE with Paparazzi!

Now I can't wait to share this you! My new goal is to be able to help other woman. No matter if it is part time, full time, or just to give you some spending money. Now let me go over a few things before I tell you how easy it is to get started.


Paparazzi Accessories is designed as a party planing company. All of the items are $5.00 plus tax, except for the Starlet Shimmer (little girls line) which is $2.00 plus tax. Paparazzi uses independent consultants to sell their jewelry so almost anyone can join as an independent consultant. Then you are on your way to a wonderful return! Since Paparazzi is still very new, now is the time! Get it on it now! A year from now, you will wish that you had!


Now since I already to you what I sell everything for, let me to you this. IT REALLY SELL'S ITSELF!! Now how is that? Well, it is great quality at an amazingly affordable price. Ladies, that normally pay $18 for a necklace at Penny's will only pay $5.00! They will want to book parties left and right, since as the host, you get FREE, yes I repeat, FREE items! Seriously, you thought $5.00 was great, try FREE Paparazzi!!

But wait, it gets better. How you ask? Try this on for size..
45% Commission Rate!

Yep, that's right! So for every item I sell, I receive $2.25. Now you must be thinking that $2.25 doesn't seem like much, however when you look at it in terms like this, tell me what you think. If I have $500 party, then I am making $225 in pure profit! Now you wonder how long these parties are? Try only 3 hours! Yep, that is all! The other great thing that Paparazzi lets us consultants do, is set for trade shows and vender fairs. For example, if you have show/event and do $1000 in sales, you have make almost $500 in profit. How awesome is that?

Women love such awesome deals, and can't wait to tell all of their friends about how affordable and the amazing quality of Paparazzi Jewelry and Accessories. So much so, they will be calling and begging you to do parties and open houses at their home. Paparazzi truly is wonderful. And since there is no pitch, no demo, no presentation, no obligation, no speech, and 100% NO PRESSURE, everyone loves it! Make sure you have your monthly calendar out and watch the days just fill up. This weekend alone I have 4, yes four parties!



It is tough to find great $5.00 gifts, but now that Paparazzi Accessories is here, holiday shopping is much easier.   Join the team NOW so you can capitalize on the holidays.  Halloween, Thanksgiving, CHRISTMAS, Valentine's and Mother's Day are all great holidays for selling jewelry.  Don't forget about birthdays, anniversaries, teacher gifts, and thank yous!  Men will come and ask you to pick jewelry out for their wives/girlfriends. Your house will be the best gift shop or boutique in town! 


What makes Paparazzi Jewelry and Accessories so different??

1.  The product is ONLY $5!!!!   It is NOT overpriced.  You cannot buy costume jewelry as nice as this anywhere for a lower price - not even Wal-Mart.
2.  The commission is 45%.   For every piece of jewelry I sell, I make $2.25.  On average, I make about $25-50/hr.  You can make up to 10% commission on those who join your team.
3.  It appeals to ALL ages of females.  There are products for little ones, tweens, teens, young adults, adults and senior citizens.   There are many different styles for many different tastes!
4.  People of ALL social classes and economic statuses can afford this and they love it!!!
5.  Customers don't have to look at the product in a catalog, make an order, pay for shipping and wait for it to come.   They take it home with them immediately after they fall in love with it.  There is NO DELIVERING product for hours.
6.  The product sells itself.  Show it to women, say the price and watch it disappear.
7.  Impulse buying at its best!!!
8.  The company keeps up with the trends.   The designers see what is "hot" in Paris, design it, produce it and I get to sell it....for only $5.   Women can afford to be trendy for $5.  New jewelry is rotating in often.
9.   Repeat customers are created.   Just like shoes, bags or clothes, many women can never get enough jewelry.   Since styles are always changing, women keep coming back for more!  They get addicted to Paparazzi!
10.  Women are excited to come to Paparazzi parties AND invite their friends!  Strangers call me on the phone and ask to come see my collection because they've seen it on their friends and want some for themselves.
11. Most women want to host home parties. Even if they just went to one.
12. I can set up displays in schools, work offices, business lunchrooms, etc and come back a few days later with a couple $100 waiting for me in an envelope!  Women will sell it at their work for me:)  Bank employees, school teachers, office workers, realtors LOVE this.  They can look professional for a small price.
13.  Men love to buy this for women!  They know they will make their women very happy for only $5!!!!!  I also provide gift certificates for people/men to give as gifts.
14.  MANY women want to become consultants.
15.  Paparazzi makes the perfect addition to anyone's business who is already doing direct sales.   If you already sell candles, bags/purses, designer jeans, kitchen wares, make-up or anything else, Paparazzi is easy to add to parties.  You will increase the money you make at each event and GET MORE BOOKINGS.
16.  Paparazzi sells well at fairs, boutiques, festivals and other events.  Remember, they can grab it and go!  No deliveries after the event and it's only $5.
17.  Retail stores can carry Paparazzi Accessories.   Salons, boutiques, clothing stores, gift shops, book stores, almost ANYWHERE can sell Paparazzi!!!!
18.  Paparazzi is NEW!!!!  Though Paparazzi has been around for a few years, it has only been a direct sales company for two years.  There are a little more than 10,000 consultants nationwide.  Compare that to Mary Kay, Scentsy, Avon, Thirty-one and more!  There is so much room for growth because the market is NOT saturated with this product or consultants!  Get in NOW and build a team!!!
19.  Easiest work ever.   It is work and does require time and energy, but I love it!
20. Anyone who can communicate can sell Paparazzi.
21. At only $5, Paparazzi makes great gifts.  There are so many holidays and special occasions when people want to book or attend parties or come to my house to pick up some gifts.
22.  You can afford to look stylish and beautiful with these accessories.  As a consultant, the price of wearing accessories is even lower!
23.  Tax Deductions. There are a ton for having a home based business!
24.  Make your own schedule.  Work as much or as little as you want!
25.  Make an UNLIMITED INCOME.  You decide how much you want to make!  SERIOUSLY!
26.  There is no monthly or quarterly minimum purchase.  you only have to buy 100 pieces in an entire year to be a consultant.  I sell that in 1-2 parties. I could probably list another 20 reasons why Paparazzi is so different and so amazing! 

HOW TO JOIN

Starter kits are kits that you can purchase as a consultant upon signing up, or you can just chose to pay a $40.00 enrollment fee which gives you all access to every single one of their products at your special wholesale price.

A starter kit is a good idea but not mandatory. If you chose a starter kit the $40.00 fee is waived. You will make at least 45 percent off of each piece you sell.......You buy it at wholesale for $2.75 and you sell it for $5.00+tax.

I am looking for motivated people to join my team! It’s growing fast so I'm glad to be IN! As everyone that you get to sign up under you (and the only way they can sign up is from someone who is already a consultant) you get a commission off everything they sell........I have a larger sized team with a ton of support available for you!! I am with you every step of the way to help you succeed!! We also have team training calls weekly as well as a team VIP group on Facebook with over 600 members on there all helping each other and sharing ideas! You will love it!!

Here are the starter kits

Step 1: Choose a Starter Kit

Please keep in mind.. You are not required to buy a starter kit... They are just a great idea for those who are able to! If you want to just enroll with the 40.00 that is perfectly fine too! [:)] A starter kit is highly recommended as they are jam packed with best sellers and new inventory that current consultants cannot even get yet! You will succeed with a starter kit!!!

Step 2: Enroll Online.

To become a consultant it’s easy. Only takes about 5 mins.
1. Go to Paparazziaccessories.com
2. Click on “Business Opportunities”
3. Click on Sign up Now
4. The Click Sign up with Consultant ID towards the bottom.
5. Enter the number 12246 in the box and click next. Fill out the necessary info! Quick and easy! I would love to have you on my team!!

I recommend going with at least the $700 kit (especially with Christmas coming).  If you don't have that, then try the $300.  If that doesn't work for you, you can always pay $40 to join the company, but you will not receive any inventory with it.  The best deal is to buy a kit  (it comes with free stuff!)
