I know you’ve heard of the company Avon. It’s probably the most popular company that gives women the opportunity to make money through a company. You would not be considered an employee of the company. Nope, this would be your own business. The way this generally works is you would buy a “start-up kit” to start your business and the more you sell, the more profit you make. It works like this: ever heard that buying in bulk makes things cheaper to buy? That’s pretty much it! The more products you sell, the cheaper it is for you to buy them, and the more profit you make!
The best part of these jobs is the hours. They are whatever you make them! Jade Richardson, a junior journalism major at Ole Miss, is a distributor for LipSense and she says, “The most beneficial aspect of being a distributor [for LipSense] is being able to make my own hours, and of course making a little extra money never hurts!” Speaking from personal experience, I know it can be very tough to manage a job, 15 credit hours of classes, and extracurricular activities! This is the perfect job for college students. There are a variety of direct sales opportunities ranging from different interests like makeup to crafts! Below are some different companies you can be a consultant/distributor for and what they sell!
