Complementary work at home: what should you do?
17 OCTOBER 2018
In many companies, it's difficult to negotiate a significant increase. Even if you manage to tip the balance in your favour, you'll usually have to wait a while before you see the money in your bank account. If you really need to earn money quickly, you'll have to find a sideline. However, it's vital to find a side job that pays enough, but above all that you enjoy! You need to be passionate about your side job so that it makes you want to excel and fulfil yourself. Find out all our advice on choosing your home-based business.
Earn money with a side hustle that you love!
The great thing about a hobby is that it allows you to earn money quickly while working from home. From home, you can find a lucrative hobby that you're passionate about.
Of course, there's no question of taking up a hobby you don't enjoy! On the contrary, the extra activity is the ideal opportunity to have fun and do something you really enjoy.
The more motivated and passionate you are, the more money you'll earn. Remember that your additional activity must never be a constraint! This activity will be carried out outside your salaried working hours, and will therefore require time and investment. It is essential that this activity is synonymous with pleasure for you.
As you can see, you need to find an additional source of income that is both lucrative and exciting. What if you were offered a side job in women's fashion? This would allow you to combine your passion for fashion with a significant additional income.
A sideline in ready-to-wear clothing
Lovers of fashion and shopping will be delighted by working in ready-to-wear. If you spend your free time browsing the catwalks or looking at the latest trends, this is the business for you. Being a VDI (Vendeuse à Domicile Indépendante) for a women's ready-to-wear brand is the dream job for anyone who likes to advise their friends during shopping sessions. And that's what Elora is offering you today!
One of the advantages of this status is that you can combine it with a permanent or fixed-term contract. It's perfectly possible to be a VDI while working for a company on a conventional basis. You can receive our new collections at home and build up your own network of customers. Friends, family, colleagues, or creating a community on social networks... you're spoilt for choice.
Whatever the case, don't panic! We'll support you in your business. Although you may be self-employed, the Elora team is here to train and support you. We offer training seminars to help you learn the basics of sales and increase your turnover.
If your ambition is to have an excellent additional income, we advise you to organise sales meetings to meet your objectives more easily. It's up to you to set your own sales targets: you're free to do as you please and there's no boss to force you into a rhythm you don't want!
We don't impose anything on you. Whether you prefer to work evenings, weekends, Wednesdays or whenever, you set your own pace. And that's the main thing about having a sideline, don't you think?
Why choose VDI as a side job?
As well as supplementing your income, being a VDI is an excellent way of finding a pleasant side job. You can be your own boss and therefore manage your schedule as you wish!
Being a VDI with Elora means having a supplementary job that adapts to your lifestyle and not the other way round. You work when you want, where you want! It requires autonomy, but also organisation and self-motivation. But if you like the fashion industry and the job, your investment will enable you to generate a significant additional income.
What's more, you don 't need any qualifications to become a VDI. The profession is open to everyone, regardless of experience, age or personal or professional situation. If you feel comfortable speaking to people, talking to them and selling a product, don't hesitate! If you're still not sure, you should know that we offer training courses to help you gain confidence in your business.
How do I start a VDI business as a sideline?
The process of becoming a VDI is fairly straightforward, and it's easy to get started because you're supported by an Elora adviser. There are very few administrative constraints: you simply need to provide us with a social security number.
The first steps as a VDI are not always easy. However, with the training courses on offer and the support you'll receive, you'll have everything you need to make a success of your first meetings and generate your first month's sales.
The most important thing is how you present your products, and your mindset. Be self-confident, anticipate the questions customers may ask you, and establish a real relationship of friendship and trust with them. This will also enable you to enjoy your business.
So here are the main things you need to do to become a VDI and choose a complementary home-based business that rounds out your income and suits you. Once you've defined your dream job, sign up and get some valuable advice from an Elora expert. Then you can get started on your side job and begin your new life outside your professional career. Home selling makes it easier for you to get organised, to fit your extra income into your lifestyle without sacrificing your personal and professional life. Fashion is also perfect for those who love shopping and giving advice to friends and family. So it's time to fulfil your potential with a supplementary job that you enjoy every day.
