<h2><strong>What does a consultant do?
</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>How much does a consultant make?
</strong></h2>
Your monthly income is directly correlated to how much time you invest in growing your business. A new consultant averages $75-$125 in commission per home show. Multiply that by the number of days you are willing to work per month for a good estimate of your income.

You earn 25% commission on a home show for investing a couple of hours with other adults, helping them find the right books for their children.
