What type of work from home?

Working from home: a multitude of possibilities

Part-time, full-time, self-employed or as an employee, there are many ways to work from home. Here is a non-exhaustive list:

• Home sales: in addition to flexible working hours, with VDI status you set your own targets and progress at your own pace, while enjoying progressive remuneration. You can specialise in several types of sales: clothing sales like Elora, kitchen equipment sales, organic product sales, jewellery sales, coffee sales, etc.
• Coaching: if you know how to rally, enthuse and motivate, then you can become a coach. Life coach, clothing coach, or coach in disciplines you know well. You can also advise and coach people who want to start up as a VDI, for example. This is an activity that is perfectly suited to home-based employment.
• Website design: another very popular option if you have computer skills is to design websites from home. This activity goes hand in hand with web writing and translation.
• Online courses: join an online platform that will put you in direct contact with interested parties, or use your personal contacts to promote yourself on various networks, for example. Working from home is an interesting way of supplementing your income.

What are the advantages of working from home?

There are many advantages to working from home. Whatever your field of activity, we can mention the following:

• Flexible working hours to help you combine your professional and private lives;
• Saving time and comfort by reducing the need to travel;
• Saving money by earning a salary commensurate with your commitment.

Becoming a home-based sales assistant with Elora brings together these key advantages, to which we can add the possibility of becoming your own boss.

But be careful! Working from home doesn't only have its advantages. As experts in home-based clothing sales, we can warn you about the organisation and self-motivation needed to succeed as an image consultant. Similarly, the great flexibility offered by this status also requires a great deal of rigour to juggle family life and professional imperatives effectively. It is not uncommon, for example, for a home-based sales assistant to organise meetings in the evenings and at weekends.

The success of a work-at-home project therefore depends on strong motivation and a personality that combines organisation and rigour. To support you step by step in this entrepreneurial project, we offer a training programme led by experienced coaches.
