My Paparazzi Story ~


Want to know a little about me? My name is Andrea Hutcheson. I am a Producer with Paparazzi Accessories. I was a college student and I was working 2 Part-time jobs as a Librarian Assistant and a Sub Teacher. Money was usually tight and I was always looking for ways to make extra money to help pay the bills. I’ve joined other Direct Sales, but it seemed like I was always spending more money than bringing any in. My friend got invited to a Paparazzi party, and she invited me but I didn’t want to go because we didn’t have extra money to spend on “expensive jewelry”.
When we got there, the house was full of women buying cute jewelry. Everything was ONLY $5. I started asking questions about the Opportunity. Learned that consultants made 45% commission, and I knew that I could totally do this! Who doesn’t like Jewelry? Specially $5 cute jewelry!  It was a huge opportunityfor me to introduce it to everyone!
I called the consultant and asked her if there was any way I could earned part of my kit. I did basket parties and earned 10% of sales towards my kit. I also sold old stuff that I had at home to get some cash so I can purchase my kit. I had to do it no matter what! I had a Party at a Museum for free since where we used to live it was a small apartment. I ended up joining with a 100 piece kit (wish I could have joined with the 200 kit) Sold $400+ that day and had 20 ppl come to my party! That following month I invested $1000 and the next month I became Director (had 4 friends joined my Team). I sold everywhere I went, and I also sold it on Facebook since I was busy with school and jobs.
Here I am 2 years later still selling Paparazzi Jewelry. Doing Home Parties, Basket Parties and Events. Not only that, I do 5-7 Parties on Facebook per week. My biggest Party has been of 201 pcs sold! Also, My team has grown very large. I am blessed to be part of one of the largest, (most awesome) teams in the company. I’ve quit my jobs a year ago. Making more than what I used to make with 2 jobs.  I have received super cute gifts from the company, I’ve Won a FREE cruise to Dominican Republic, and I am receiving the best Support from my leaders and Paparazzi founders. I love the flexibility I have with being my own boss. I work when I want and how I want. With the Ministry my husband and I have I have time to visit my Bus kids, and I get to help people at Church when they need me. Not only that, I have time to spend with my Family & take care of my home! I have AMAZING friendships with people ALL over the country!  God has been really good to us and has blessed us so much through Paparazzi Accessories!

About Paparazzi Accessories ~ My story

33669_108587585872454_1517796_nHow this decision changed our life… This decision has been one that was done with A LOT of thought and knowing the risk that accompanies it! Yes, I was scared, but after 2.5 years I am proud to tell you that I couldn't be more blessed and Excited! A few years ago, I was going to College, working a job where they paid me $7 per hour. It wasn't a bad job, but it was not enough money, that’s for sure. My husband had a decent job with benefits. By decent, it mostly paid for our bills and expenses. I can’t complain because God plays a BIG role in our life. He will always provide for many things, and we trust Him.
At that point I was looking for something that I could do on the side that would bring extra income. I joined many DS companies, but it seemed like I only spent money instead of making money. I am the one who does the finances, and pays the bills. If you are like me, you know that this is very very stressful. All my hubby has to do is ask me if we have money in the bank, and I say yes or no lol… Well, not really, but I try to not stress him since he works hard. In July of 2012, my friend invited me to go with her to a “Paparazzi Accessories” Party. I wasn't really sure what Paparazzi was, I only knew that I didn't have the money to go to “those” parties, but I went. WOW… It was Jewelry and accessories that were only $5.00 and little diva’s items that were only $1.00. They were very cute but affordable! I didn't feel bad because I could afford 2-3 little divas earrings!
While I was waiting for my friend I was looking at everyone going crazy over this jewelry! I was thinking, man! I could totally do this! It’s only $5, is cute and really easy to sell! I started asking questions, she told me that the jewelry is nickel and lead free, that it is a very new company that just launched at the end of 2011. Consultants make 45% commission and leadership bonuses (10-5%). I was very impressed! Then I asked… How much is it to join? It was $300 for a 100 pcs kit (at that time). I told her that I didn't have the money but that I would do anything to earn my kit! I did basket parties, and instead of earning hostess rewards I would get those towards my kit. I tried to sell some old stuff I had to save for my kit. Later, I contacted her, and I invested the money. I also had a launch party where I sold $400+ and had 20 people attend. I did my launch party at a museum, because we used to leave in an apartment. It didn’t cost me anything to do my party there. So, like I said, I joined Paparazzi Accessories, hoping it was my lucky break it life. Surely, I could sell cute $5 Jewelry!!! I was very nervous and a little insecure, but I knew that this Paparazzi business could be a definite bonus to our family.
In September 2012, I decided I was going to put my whole self into this business to make it work! I just received $1000 and I decided to put all of it to order more jewelry! My goal was to invest until I had 900 pieces. I always told myself, the more you have, the more you are going to sell!
It was rough because we didn’t see any money coming in for us to use, since I re-invest every penny I made. My husband was very upset. He said that this was another of my hobbies and that I need to take another job. So I did. I was working 2 jobs and doing Paparazzi. I was selling the jewelry through Facebook (Facebook Parties) and taking it everywhere I went to show it. I started to network and meet lots of people and making longtime friends and customers. Even though I am from another country, Peru, and I am still learning English, I wasn't ashamed to share my business with others.
Events 2013In July of 2013 I decided to do a Fair event. Events that year weren't outstanding, but I kept trying. Looking to find the perfect event that will bring lots of income… And so I did. I set up that year and sold over $1000 and booked 21 Home parties on the spot! It was Amazing! I was so excited!!!!
In July of 2014 we decided to move to Missouri, because of my husband’s job. I was able to tell my husband that I was going to quit my jobs and do Paparazzi Full Time. I wanted to help my Team Members make money just like I was. God gave me the opportunity to help others through Paparazzi. I love teaching them what I know.
10518990_499169723556196_7942759580285350571_nIn December of 2014 I won a FREE Cruise! I was so excited! I have accomplished many things through this company thanks to God and my hard work and willingness to keep going. I can’t believe it! The Future with Paparazzi is bright! I am making more than what I used to make with two jobs in one month! I have 900+ pcs and a room at my house exclusively for my jewelry! (People can come anytime they want to shop!) We know that there is so much possibility with Paparazzi Accessories. I have the potential to continue to do VERY WELL!
Between my leadership Commission and my sales (yes, I love doing parties and selling Paparazzi. My goals every month is to sell 1000 pieces), I make more than I ever thought possible! It’s hard to believe how much I make from $5 Jewelry. Women LOVE it!
Paparazzi Accessories has given us the freedom to do things we would never do. We are constantly working so hard and will continue to make GREAT things happen!
