Direct Selling allows anyone to set up and run their own business and is open to everyone over the age of 18 regardless of gender, background, education or race.

The great attraction of Direct Selling is that it offers a flexible earning opportunity where you are in control of the income you can generate. Many work their Direct Selling businesses part-time along their regular job to earn extra income. Some eventually choose to put in full-time hours and generate a substantial income.

You should select a business that markets products which appeal to you and which seem fairly priced. If you are enthusiastic about the product yourself, sales will be much easier to achieve.

The appeal of a company’s product is much more important than the rates of commission and bonuses that are on offer.  Reasonable commissions on easily achieved sales are much better than high commission on sales that are difficult to achieve.

It is advisable to ensure that the business you are considering is a DSA Member. This gives an assurance that the business opportunity is legal and the company has agreed to abide by the DSA Codes.

Yes – you can run a substantial Direct Selling business from your home using channels of internet and telephone as a means of communication, although personal contact does significantly help to grow your business. Direct Selling allows people to work for themselves and to run their own business in a way that fits with their lifestyle.
