Direct Selling Opportunities to Women
For women who want to work from home direct sales has been the way to go for the last 50 years. From Avon to Mary Kay or Pampered Chef to Party Lite there seems to be endless possibilities for women to sell to women. When you sign up with one of these direct sales companies you also sign up for home parties, inventory, and selling to your friends. So the question is, are there direct selling opportunities for women that don't include all these things? With the onset of the Internet I believe there are! Here is how the Internet helps us get around these 3 things.
No More selling to Friends. I do not want to be seen as the lady who is selling such and such. My business is not who I am, my business is something I do so that I am able to do what I want to do. In direct sales they teach you to tell everyone you know, multiple times, about your business and your product. Where I agree that people need to hear something many times so they have all the information to make a design I do not agree with the harassing my friends philosophy. With the Internet you have the opportunity to tell people all around the world about your business multiple times through venues like facebook and twitter among other things.If those people don't like what your selling, no sweat! There are new people all the time who are searching for what you have to offer. I have a lot of friends, but I will run out of those before I run out of people searching for my product online.
No More inventory. A lot of direct sales companies like Melalueca, Arbonne and Pampered Chef have it set up so that you do not have to have inventory in your home. It is all done online. This makes direct selling via the Internet a viable and even easy option. When you have someone from another country who is interested in your product, you can then send them to a web page to get more information, or to sign up. Often they can then shop online as well.
No More Home Parties or out of home meetings. This is my favorite part of using the Internet. When searching for a way to make money from home I found that a lot of direct sales companies say they are good for stay at home moms, but they really don't make it possible to stay at home. You must make appointments to have meetings, have parties at your house or other peoples, and go to big training seminars on the weekends. When using the Internet in accordance with direct market selling all of the contact is made from your home.
There are direct selling opportunities for women found completely online.It is time for women to know that these are real, legitimate work from home business opportunities that are completely that, work from home.
