Working as a consultant

Working as a direct selling consultant can be a fun and flexible way to make money and meet new people. More than 15 million Americans work as consultants today, including stay-at-home parents, military spouses, couples, college students, retirees, people with full-time careers, and those who get involved to get their favorite items at a discounted price. Others work full-time selling products or services and managing teams that do the same.

Being a direct seller is like owning your own businesses, allowing flexibility in regard to structure, record keeping and expenses. Other factors that attract individuals to direct selling include the need for little or no capital, the ability to be successful with limited or no prior experience and the ability to tailor business activities to accommodate other personal and professional commitments.
