Our new venture with Wikaniko

Living in Spain and Making money with Wikaniko

Living an Eco Friendly Lifestyle
Hi everyone since moving to Spain I have managed a restaurant and then moved to a lovely house in the hills, not far from Alicante. We house sit for friends. We, which is Colin and I, live in a small casita and we manage the vegetable plots, pool and gardens. We have been doing this for two years and during that time I have come to love gardening and growing my own vegetables and fruit. We live on a minimal income but lead a good and healthy lifestyle. I forgot to mention we also have chickens so fresh free range eggs are always available.
Wikaniko
More recently we have supplemented our income by joining our friends UK based on line company called Wikaniko which sells eco friendly products, ranging from degradable black bags to mineral make up. Whilst I have always been suspicious about online companies I thought that because I know the people who own the company then I would give it a go. Plus I like the idea of promoting genuine, good quality, eco friendly products at reasonable prices. .
How to Begin
Colin has been doing work with Wikaniko for quite a while helping them with their new website and we noted that they had a special offer where distributors can join the company without paying a joining fee for six months. If during that time we decided that it was not for us then we could leave without any pressure or expense other than £3.50 monthly admin fees. Being able to have a trial period really suited us particularly as we are in Spain and not sure whether would be able to successfully sell eco friendly products and recruit people.
Applying to become a distributor was simple we just visited the Wikaniko website and completed a form. Once we were accepted we called ourselves Greenerearth and were given our own on line shop and training. We also designed our own Greenerearth webpage, facebook page and twitter account. Although we are fairly internet knowledgeable support is freely available from Wikaniko to answer any of our queries.
Income
We decided to not only promote and sell our products on line but to also go to fairs and markets, for example we bought a stock of essential oils and handmade soaps from our shop which have proved to be very popular.
In terms of profit, the amount we make is dependent upon the volume of items that we sell. We get from 33 percent profit on each item but this increases depending upon the volume of sales. Also if we recruit people to our team then we receive an income from the products that they sell. To date we have successfully recruited ten people and it is only early days.
This is a new but exciting venture for us and if you are interested you can look at the Wikaniko website and shop. If you decide to give it go please mention that you read my article and that we are registered as distributors in the name of Colin Botterman.
Thank you for reading and hopefully you will give Wikaniko a go whilst this special offer still exists.
