Direct Selling As I have mentioned, there are many companies that offer a business opportunity selling their products or services. With a direct selling business, you are not someone else's employee. You are an independent contractor, and are able to control your own business. You should also consider that this means you are in control of whether your business is successful or not. If the idea of direct selling appeals to you, here is a list of companies you may want to look into. Ameriplan Ameriplan Independent Business Owners (IBO's) sell the Ameriplan discount programs. If you do an internet search, you will find many people's websites who are in this business. Arbonne International - It looks like Arbonne has quite a few personal care products, some things for baby, aromatherapy, weight loss, etc. You also need to find a consultant to get started.
