As you scroll through social media, you have noticed people sharing their lifestyle in their profiles. From outfits to restaurants, we have managed to showcase ourselves enjoying things we genuinely love. But what if I tell you that you can actually make an income by doing the same thing? Have you heard of social selling?

As we are constantly evolving into a digital era, it has become a habit for us to buy from what we see others recommend through social media. We find curiosity and decide to buy something that has been helping another. This is called social selling, and we do it every day without noticing it. For example, I bet someone has approached you complimenting something you were wearing and asked you where you bought it. You probably responded with the name of the store since you also liked it. By doing this, you recommended a store you liked and already sent a potential client. Probably that person is going to buy from the store because of you. However, you aren’t compensated for that. 

In my world, it’s the opposite. Making money while you sleep is the new trend, and I definitely recommend you to step on it. When I started my journey of working on my phone it was for three main reasons: financial freedom, flexibility, and travel. For a long time, I admired influencer’s and their ability to use their social media as a business source to promote products and get paid or even gifted. Little did I know I could be just like them.

My journey started a few months ago when I was presented with the opportunity to upgrade my shampoo. How crazy, right? At the time, I didn’t know this shampoo could represent growth, opportunity, and impact.

Now, I offer people a ground-level opportunity to upgrade their financial situation, find a community of hustlers and go-getters, and unlimited resources to learn and grow by doing things they already do: washing their hair. 

Social media is revolutionizing, multiple streams of income are necessary, and if you are not making money while you sleep, you should start now. 

My main tip? Don’t let a device use you, learn how to make use of a device.
