Having a stable job doesn’t necessarily guarantee easy management of your finances and income. Depending on your salary level, you may even face increasing difficulties month after month to stay within your budget, or even see your liabilities dangerously rise throughout the year. Clearly, neither the financial fees linked to your overdraft facility nor the interest to be repaid on any consumer loans will help improve things in the medium or long term. In fact, the opposite is bound to happen! Especially now in France, as loan rates are soaring and the cost of living keeps rising, eating away at your net income.
Rent, taxes, life insurance, health expenses, phone and internet subscriptions, daily essentials and equipment… These are expenses that only keep increasing, especially as your home grows and family life becomes more demanding! That’s why many individuals, rather than staying passive, look for ideas to generate more money each month and find a way to bring in those extra hundreds of euros in additional income they need.
But how can you significantly boost your income? Online, it’s hard to separate fact from fiction, with so much information—often incomplete—shared by countless sites. Often, an interesting blog highlighting a seemingly lucrative activity or an innovative company doesn’t get to the heart of the matter: How do you get started? What additional income can you actually generate? Is the work involved compatible with a balanced family life? Does it require training, and if so, what kind?
As one of the leaders in home fashion sales, Elora is a forward-thinking company that has been helping women increase their income for several years, empowering them to dedicate their talent and enthusiasm to selling stylish, confidence-boosting clothing and fashion items. All this, while maintaining their independence and without the need to commute or spend hours in a store as a sales assistant. So, discover Elora’s tips for supplementing your salary.
HOW TO QUICKLY GET EXTRA INCOME?
Of course, a tempting solution to generate more and more money each year would be to invest in real estate, allowing you to collect a monthly rent of several hundred euros and thus sustainably increase your income. For those over 40, it’s also a way to build up a future retirement supplement during their working life. Real estate remains the favorite investment for individuals in France!
However, while building up assets is an excellent idea, it’s important to remember that it’s a major project requiring a large budget, and you can’t expect an immediate return on investment. Most often, you’ll need to get a loan from a bank (with financial and administrative fees), which you’ll then have to repay year after year.
It’s especially important to remember, firstly, that the benefits of this type of investment are to be expected in the medium and long term, and secondly, that property owners can’t afford to be passive. Managing a rental—even just to collect rent and provide the services tenants expect—is a time-consuming business, even if quality platforms offer amateur landlords fast-track training and, more generally, excellent support.
Another idea, still in real estate, is to make a more moderate investment that won’t stretch your budget too much! You could, for example, choose to invest through a SCPI (also known as “Pierre papier”), which allows you to acquire just a share of a real estate product (like buying a company share), without having to manage the property yourself.
There are many pitfalls! When browsing the web, stay alert to the many sites dedicated to SCPI sales, check how each “stone” product is evaluated, and carefully review the terms at the end of your commitment. Excessive brokerage fees, management costs, or “hidden” financial charges can drive up the total investment amount, sometimes by thousands of euros. Also, be aware that if you invest less (through an SCPI rather than buying a property outright), you’ll necessarily increase your income (and your assets!) less in the long run, whatever the immediate return you expect.
In any case, keep in mind that all real estate investments carry a certain amount of risk in the medium or long term. This is due to fluctuations in the property market, financial rates, tax changes, new housing standards, and more generally, the economic climate in France.
The best way to quickly earn an additional salary is to take on a side activity. Sales is a safe bet, provided you have a knack for connecting with people and plenty of energy! You also need to carefully choose the line of products, items, or services you commit to selling, rather than jumping at the first business that comes along.
If you want to earn money quickly without disrupting your entire routine, working as an Independent Home Sales Consultant (VDI) is particularly well-suited. It offers great flexibility, allowing you to balance your side activity with your current job and personal life.
WHY BOOST YOUR INCOME BY BECOMING A VDI?
How do you become an independent home sales consultant? The first step is to register as a self-employed entrepreneur, which means creating your own business as a micro-enterprise. Simple and fast, registration is done online, directly with URSSAF.
This status lets you keep your independence and organize your work as you wish, alongside your current job and while keeping your base salary. You can decide how many hours you want to dedicate to this activity each week or month, and set your own schedule.
However, remember that your pay is based on a percentage of your sales. So it’s not about being passive, but about truly committing to your new activity. One of the most attractive advantages is being able to prepare your work from home, then hold your sales sessions close to home, at locations you choose together with your hosts. This way, you save on travel costs and optimize your working time!
As a VDI, you can sell many products from home to supplement your income: kitchen, beauty, hygiene, home, and more. Many online platforms offer quality partnerships. But keep in mind that to succeed in sales, which requires real personal investment, you need to believe in the products and the brand you represent. So, if you’re passionate about fashion, interested in ready-to-wear, and full of creative ideas, choose the thriving fashion sector and become a personal stylist.
Take the leap, give your life a new energy… And keep in mind the idea of becoming a VDI with Elora, a brand with strong human values. This is a committed company that truly invests in everyone who joins its teams, ensuring their training and genuinely giving them the means to earn money. What’s more, Elora increases its efforts for the planet every year, through its eco-friendly product line!
