The majority of workers are now demanding remote and flexible work, creating opportunities for stackable income options like direct selling with gig economy jobs and even full-time remote work.
Opportunistic Direct Selling companies will look to build stackable income strategies around segmenting seller profiles with complementary work demands, synergistic pull marketing and technology convenience tools (like the Penny App!) that simplify the customer tracking process, ultimately increasing productivity time and income diversity.

Direct Selling companies have the advantage here, as already experts in the “social” aspect, their model can be delivered via social e-commerce with the right tools.
Fortunately, dominant social media platforms, like Instagram, are already adding the necessary shopping tools, creating the right options at the right time to build a competitive social e-commerce model for brands and independent direct sellers alike.
