Right now, we’re experiencing a revolution in the world of work—a shift
towards what has been called the new economy. As flexible
earning becomes
increasingly commonplace and the world continues to shift away from traditional
work arrangements, Direct Selling has achieved a level of public
recognition that it has never experienced—not just as an avenue for flexible
earning, but as a leader in the space of independent work.
Over the last few years, many companies along with QNet Arabia has taken a more proactive approach towards regulation, working
alongside policymakers to introduce stronger consumer protection laws and
guidelines. This isn’t the same old direct selling industry anymore. It’s been
reborn and is today a thoroughly modern business model. Since this business has
dwarfed all other new economy industries both in size and revenue, and with
huge margins, it has helped many bad economies around the world. Here are some of the reasons how
direct selling is helpful in a bad economy:
Ø
Unemployment is the most basic factor in a bad economy. At a
time when businesses are not expanding as a fast pace, Direct Selling has been one of the only few industries, that has
continued to make steady progress and pushing boundaries towards overall growth
resulting in huge amount of employment opportunities for the people.
Ø
It boosts confidence of individuals and therefore leading the
industry as well as the workforce involved, to a higher growth trajectory. It
is an attractive option, and allows people to manage their own business with
minimal outlay as well as generate an income. In fact, many of the successful
Direct Sellers help other people to set up their businesses. Clearly which
explains that it is a people’s business, where one helps the other, resulting
in building the nation.
Ø
Direct
Selling has also provided an option to earn extra income for educational
savings or retirement, or for the people who cannot engage themselves in full
time employment. According to Direct Selling Association (DSA) a modest seller
earns $2,400 a year which is fairly enough as a part-time supplement income.
Ø One of
the main attractions of working in this industry is the option of flexible
hours people work at their own leisure and time, without being bound to strict
timelines. This is why many working people join Direct Selling as a
supplementary earning opportunity.
