If you're looking for a creative new way to make some money from home, but selling makeup or kitchenware doesn't appeal to you, SimplyFun might be the answer for you.

SimplyFun is a board game company that markets their board games with an innovative approach: selling them through consultants who run game parties. The company has only been around for a year, but they've found that their business model is quite successful, and their consultants are making quite a bit of money selling the games!

The games themselves are the selling point, of course, and SimplyFun has some great ones! All of their games are super high-quality, and they're all "party games", in the sense that they allow for active play by all of the players, instead of long periods of sitting and waiting for someone to take their turn.

One of the most popular games on the SimplyFun roster is called LIEbrary, which was actually invented by actress Daryl Hannah and was even previewed on the Ellen DeGeneres show!

Selling games through parties is a really clever idea. Most people won't buy a game that they've never played before, it's too hard to assess whether or not it will be fun. By allowing people to get a sense for how the game works, you're giving them a chance to get a feel for how the game works and whether or not it's the right game for them.

Consultants for SimplyFun do pay an upfront fee of $149.00. However, this is the last fee they'll ever need to pay and they'll begin making money very soon. The money covers a starter kit, which includes a number of the SimplyFun games, as well as consultant information (including tips on how to throw a great game party) and order forms. Consultants get 25% of all sales; which will increase over time. These are really excellent rates for sell-from-home products.

Even if becoming a consultant isn't the right choice for you, consider hosting a game party and inviting a SimplyFun consultant to come show some of these great games! There's no cost to you, and you can win free stuff as the host of the party. It'll provide great fun for you and your friends, and maybe you'll find a new game that you can't live without.
