Work From Home Selling Oriflame
How Direct Selling Can Lead to a Home Based Business
Selling Oriflame can be a profitable home based business that many people are turning to during the recession. It is also a job opportunity for parents as the work fits in around family commitments with ease.
When working with Oriflame, consultants can grow their business as big as they like and the Swedish cosmetic company has proven that direct selling is no longer just a door-to-door profession. In fact for those looking for self-employment it is an opportunity with no initial outlay, full support, tried and tested products and a personal website.
Oriflame could be used as a starting place for running a business and learning the art of direct selling. The company not only offers a number of incentives to sell, but they provide all consultants with start up advice, business materials and a range of courses to help demonstrate and promote the unique selling points of the products.
Direct Selling for a Living
The company, founded in Sweden in 1967, is one of the fastest growing beauty companies selling direct to the public. With teams of consultants working in 61 countries, Oriflame has concentrated on working with self-employed people in order to grow their business.
If a consultant is prepared to put in a few hours a week, selling Oriflame cosmetics can help them earn an additional income and anyone can become an Oriflame Beauty Consultant.
There are three ways consultants can make money.
- By showing catalogues to friends, neighbours, colleagues and friends. A consultant earns an immediate discount of 23% to 30% on orders taken.
- By building up a team of consultants as people earn commission from the sales of consultants in their group.
- By holding beauty demonstrations. Oriflame provides free training on how to demonstrate and sell the products to a group of friends, family or organised parties.
Self Employment and Benefits
As with all direct selling opportunities, consultants only earn according to how much effort they put in to the business. And of course, Oriflame is not the only cosmetic home based business. Therefore it is important to realise that this role will help put money towards bills, but is unlikely to generate an income to be an only job.
Anyone considering becoming their own boss needs to find out how benefits will be effects and whether they have the time or commitment to work on their own.
As a self-employed person, consultants also have to pay their tax and National Insurance contributions themselves. So again this needs to be taken into consideration before embarking on such a move. The Job Centre and HMRC are able to advise on these issues.
