Direct selling

Direct selling is when someone sells things directly to people without a store in the middle. Imagine you have some toys that you want to sell. You could go to a toy store and ask them to sell your toys for you, but then you would have to give some of the money you earned to the store. Or, you could sell the toys yourself to your friends or family members. This way, you can keep all the money you earn. Direct selling is like selling something on a lemonade stand or at a yard sale. You are not going to a store to sell, you are selling directly to people. Some people make a job out of direct selling by becoming a salesperson for a company. They get paid to sell products to people and they can even make their own team of salespeople too!
