You like using organic and earth friendly
cosmetics and skin care and are telling all
your friends about the benefits of these
types of products. You notice that herbal
based products are even popping up at the
neighborhood grocery and drug store. And now
you're thinking of starting a business
marketing natural skin care and makeup. You
have several options.
1) You could join a
Direct Sales business
When most people think direct sales, they
think of Mary Kay or Tupperware. Awesome
companies, for sure, but you want to
represent a product line with natural
ingredients. Did you know there are lots of
direct sales companies that make these types
of products now? Just a few of the ones I've
seen market items such as:
▪ Organic skin care
▪ Aloe based skin care
▪ Swiss skin care
▪ Aromatherapy based products
▪ Chinese herbal based products
▪ Homeopathics
You might want to search around at the
Direct Selling Association to find a good
company.
2) You could make
your own products
More people than ever are interested in
buying homemade products with ingredients
they can pronounce! A lot of people like the
idea of supporting cottage industries in
this way. If you have an idea for your own
product, why not start marketing your
product online? Let the world be your
customer! Building an online presence has
never been easier. For around $20 a month
you can build a beautiful, professional
website with no knowledge of html (the
coding language of web designers).
If you like making your own products you
could also compile your favorite recipes
into an ebook and sell it.
3) You could
promote another's product for a commission
This idea is called affiliate marketing. You
basically promote another person's product
on your website and when people click
through and purchase, you get paid! This
business model is great because it's so
inexpensive to start. Affiliate programs are
free to join and all you need is a website.
You can also
differentiate your offerings on one site by
promoting several affiliate products.
According to industry statistics, the
interest in organic products is growing by
20% each year. You can capitalize on this
interest and turn your passion for natural
skin care and makeup into a business!
