Shopperts is building an AI technology platform and rapidly disrupting the $8 billion social selling market. Social Selling is a new home-based entrepreneurship opportunity where one uses his/her free time to sell products to consumers in their social network via WhatsApp and Facebook. In Shopperts, 1000s of home makers with free time are registering with us as Social Sellers. For the first time, Social Sellers receive Facebook-like feeds of new product streams that are personalized, trending and relevant, from suppliers who are certified by Shopperts. Social sellers recommend these product streams to their consumer circles on Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram, receive and manage orders from their circles, and make a side income. Homemakers are fueling this trend of social selling. Popular consulting firm Zinnov estimates about 8-9B USD worth of products are being sold socially today by homemakers in India, and the commerce volume is expected to grow at 40-50% CAGR from 2017-22. We are a great pool of motivated folks working relentlessly towards making Shopperts happen. Want to earn a side income by becoming a social seller? Download our app from www.shopperts.in/app.
