How can I find a sideline?

Taking on a complementary activity is an excellent way of increasing your monthly income, provided you can limit the costs involved. That's why working from home is the best idea. How can you find a complementary activity that suits your schedule? How can you earn extra income by applying for a job online? What sectors are recruiting? What skills are in demand? How can I combine two activities? Elora , the ready-to-wear home shopping company, tells you all about it!

WHERE CAN I FIND A SIDELINE TO EARN EXTRA MONEY?

Before taking the plunge and offering your services to companies, it's important to clearly define your search criteria. If you're looking to supplement your income, you'll generally be looking for the following:

• Flexible working hours so that you can reconcile this activity with your current job,
• Be able to work from home or nearby,
• Earning enough money to supplement your salary at the end of the month (as opposed to the few euros you can earn by taking part in surveys on certain web platforms).

Other criteria may also be taken into account, such as the possibility of improving your skills in a particular area of expertise.

Once you've done this, you can start applying on job websites and compile a list of companies that are recruiting for positions that match your requirements. Note that freelance door-to-door sales (VDI) is one of the sectors that hires the most people looking to supplement their income.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A FREELANCE HOME SELLER?

Setting up your own business to offer your services to a home shopping company like Elora is a very good idea. With sales expected to exceed €5 billion by 2021, this fast-growing sector is looking to recruit, and offers a wide range of positions suitable for people who want to earn extra money at home.

What's more, self-employed door-to-door salespeople offer a host of advantages. As a self-employed entrepreneur, you are free to choose your working hours, so you can easily reconcile your private and professional lives. You can also choose the company you work with on the basis of the products it offers and the values it promotes.

HOW CAN I BECOME A FASHION CONSULTANT AT ELORA AND TOP UP MY SALARY?

To join the Elora team, you need to apply online via our website. A consultant will then get in touch with you to ask you a few questions and tell you about the various tasks involved in the job of personal stylist. This discussion will give you a clear idea of the brand's expectations and more information about the level of income you can achieve.

A mentor will act as your guide during the first few weeks, so you can ask her any questions you may have and benefit from her feedback and advice following your first presentation. You will have access to training (in person or via a web platform) to develop your marketing skills, learn how to approach private individuals and maintain a network of customers.
