Hey Reader!

I recently signed up to be one of those people who do Paperpie, like a rep. They call them Brand Partners, which are kind of like consultants. I used to be part of Younique makeup, and I loved it! I sold lots of makeup and was able to get free makeup just for selling makeup. Apparently, Paperpie is the same way!

Turns out, I can get free books (like Kane Miller books and Usborned books, etc) for FREE just for sharing about books - which I already do anyway! Well, they have to buy a book or two haha but I make commission on the books I sell.

It's not a bad way to make money, especially when you're a homeschool mom already knee-deep in books. And I bet your home library is growing and growing each year. I'm not even going to ask if you've ever calculated how much money you spent on books. *gulp* Because, girl, I knowwwwww....

I have some good news for you today, Reader!

Our timing is perfect because for the first time in their history, they're offering people to join​ as a Brand Partner for Free - as in, it costs nothing to sign up (it usually does). PLUS + you get $20 in free book credit, so you get free books too! (Yes, I know it sounds too good to be true...like anything is really ever free a jaybird right...but for real, this is 100% free. Keep your card in your wallet for this one.)

And if you used to be an Usborne or a Paperpie rep, you can rejoin for free too, and it does not cost anything for the rest of the year, and also get the $20 book credit too!

When I signed up in May, it wasn't free to sign up as a Brand Partner. It cost me $10 to sign up as a rep/brand partner, but I get a website and discounts and book credits AND cash money - cha-ching! -and so on.

I signed up because I already buy books and I already share book recommendations with others, so why not? That's what we do, right? I'm sure you do it all the time too!! And instead of sharing an Amazon link or some other link, I'll share my Paperpie link!

We'll have to pay $8 a month for the website but not until 6 months later, so that's good. And for you, you don't pay anything for the rest of the year! No $8 for you until 2025. That's plenty of time to see if this thing is for you or not, completely risk-free. 💕

For me, I'm certain by the 7th month I'll be able to sell a book each month to cover those 8 bucks! (But really, I'm just happy to be able to buy these books at a discount forever instead of paying the full price.)

However, all this good news I'm excited about has veryyyy limited time on it.

This is free for today only though!

Today from noon to midnight (Central Time) only, you can join for free and also get $20 in book credit at no cost too. 🙌🏻

So I'm basically giving you $20 to join me in Paperpie to get books for free. Not a bad deal! Again, no catch, no nothing.

And, of course, you can use your new membership with Paperpie to also make some side money. Why not? it doesn't have to be your sole purpose of signing up, as most people do it just to get books at a discount (like their awesome Encyclopedias), but it won't hurt sharing a book link or two and make some $. Book discounts *and* sell books to people, if you like. Online as well as offline, like at co-ops etc. You make money when you do it + get discounts on all your books, and your customer gets nice quality books!

Just look! So cute!

And when you buy books, it deducts your commission from the total so you're ALWAYS getting a discount! So if anything, just join to get the discount! 🤯 That's what I planned on doing. But then, after I went snooping through their library, it dawned on me, I'm often times recommending these kinds of high-quality books. (Seriously, go to my curriculum review, book reviews, and game reviews on my website!)

And you *have* heard of Usborne books, right??? If not, just imagine a book with the highest quality ever. The binding is nice and sturdy, the design is sooo darn cute and appealing, and the book itself is just written and created amazingly. Such.High.Quality. Usborne and the Kane Miller books.

(Actually, Paperpie used to be Usborne! But they merged I think, so now it's Paperpie! I always wanted to be a rep for the Usborne books but when I looked at it in the past it was pricey!!! So I'm SUPER glad it's not like that anymore, which is why when I saw 10 bucks, I jumped on it. I kind of wish I would have waited until now to save me that $10. hahaha)

How To Sign Up

To sign up, like I said it is free.

​Click here to go to sign up. When you do, click on the JOIN button in the menu. If you already have an account with them, just log in. And if you don't, just create an account.

When you do, make sure it says RICHIE SOARES as your brand partner so you get the free stuff I'm talking about.

Here's a visual:

What kinds of books does it have?

ALL KINDS! Chapter books, those write and swipe books, independent readers, picture books, board books, baby books, Spanish books, learn-to-read books, nonfiction books, how-to books, documentary books, autobiography books, chapter books, activity books, coloring books, even Smart Lab Toys, puzzles, games, steam kits, activities, and more! Drawing, tracing, scissor skills....all of it.

And yes, Paperpie is absolutely for all ages and all grade levels.

Want bundles of books too?

tWhen you join me as a Brand Partner of Paperpie (again, for free - just for 12 hours), you get $20 in free book credit that you can use towards anything.

You know how you tell people about books in Facebook groups or to your friends? Same thing! You'll give them a link of the book, and when they purchase, you get money! Voila! See how simple that is?

Brand Partners get specials and discounts as well. Like these bundles! Isn't the company so nice? I've been watching some videos on them, and wow. I'm pretty blown away with their values and mission. Good company. 👌🏼

So you can activate a Brand Partner Account FREE today ONLY between Noon-Midnight CT and then shop these Bundles! (I'll show you how!)

When you sign up and get your $20 book credit, not only can you use that towards these bundles, but you also get a discount on top of them because you'll be a Brand Partner! If you could sell this bundle to a customer (you can't, though, this is ONLY for brand partners (nice company)) you would make a commission. That commission ends up being your discount instead when you buy books for yourself.

So, for example, take the $55 Chapter Books bundle where you get 14 books and save 41%:

$55 - $20 (book credit) = $35 - $yourcommission (I think it said $16 when I did it but I'm not sure) = $19 for that Chapter Books Bundle that originally costs $92.86 retail, but you save 41% right off the bat because you're a brand partner for the bundle price. 🤯 Your discount automatically applies as well. :)

And this is jus tone fo the bundles mentioned above in the image (the Chapter Books bundle):

Now do you see what I'm saying?

(I can be totally wrong in your commission math, but you get the point!)

Anyway, I hope you found this helpful. I thought of how much it could really impact your life if you made some extra money on the side or at least saved money on books, since you're buying them anyway!

If you have any questions, let me know. I'll be here for you every step of the way when you do sign up. Once you sign up, I'll walk you through how to order one of the bundles (if you wanted) or how to use your $20 credit + discount. And if you want to know how to share the book link, I'll show you. It's all very simple, I promise.

Remember - this free join opportunity + $20 book credit ends tonight - it's only for 12 hours. So if you've been praying about making more money or wanting something else to do to contribute to the home or you've been wanting to get some GOOD quality books for your kids (and at a discount, to boot!), then this is what you want to do.

Ok, so in ONE HOUR, you can join for free. You might want to create an account now because I have a feeling the website is going to be slammed in an hour. That way, all you have to do is click JOIN and you're good!

Just make sure it says me as your account person RICHIE SOARES in the top right of your screen (see image below) or you can search me in Brand Partner if it doesn't say it for some reason:

Ok - go sign up! I'm excited FOR you!!!

xo,
Richie
