If you were to calculate how much time you spent on social media sites on a weekly basis, what would your total number? Less than 10 hours? More than 10 hours? Somewhere in the middle?

The point is, you probably spend at least a couple of hours every week on social media sites. What if I told you that you could make extra money on the side with very little extra work?

You are probably already familiar with a friend that sells products using social media. Maybe they are selling beauty products or clothing. What you might not realize is they probably aren’t making a ton of money and they are extremely limited in their product options.

For example, the friend selling beauty products is limited to a certain number of products she can sell, and on top of that, she doesn’t even own her client list. The company she works for does. If she ever wanted to leave that company and sell another product, she would lose all of her clients. If the company she worked for went out of business, there would be no way to recover any of her hard work.

Up until now, this has been the model for social selling and it is filled with flaws that are extremely risky to your average social seller.

A company by the name of Gemstra is changing all of that. With Gemstra’s ASTRA platform every part of the old model is replaced to benefit the seller. In Gemstra’s model the seller owns their data. That means if they wanted to sell beauty products one week, and then switch to clothing the next, they would be able to do so without losing any clients. If one of the brands that they were selling went out of business, they can simply choose another brand to focus their efforts on.

All of these benefits are built onto the time-tested social selling model. In previous years before the internet existed, people would by products based on word of mouth, most often though door to door salesman, or “product parties”. With the internet, it is no longer necessary to be face to face for a transaction or a product recommendation to take place. Gemstra’s ASTRA platform takes this amazing innovation one step further by incorporating blockchain technology into the social selling model. The blockchain allows these transactions to be safely stored on the blockchain where customer data is secure and accessible by the sellers. With the creation of the GMS token, the blockchain is used to incentivize sellers, and pay commission for transaction securely and quickly within the ecosystem.

The technology behind the platform is truly amazing. However, at the end of the day the user only wants a platform that is easy to use and helps make them money. Anyone can plug directly into Gemstra’s ecosystem and start leveraging their social network to sell all different kinds of products. Gemstra plans to use 2019 for a merchant onboarding blitz to increase the options sellers will have. Whether it is sunglasses, or hardware supplies, social sellers will be able to gear their BOUTIQUES to the type of people in their network that are likely to buy a specific type of product. This type of flexibility within an ecosystem is what will make Gemstra stand out among the competition.

Gemstra’s developers are based in the U.S.A with the foundation located in Cayman. However, this geographical location will not limit the Gemstra team. The team recently got back from China, and the word is they have secured some excellent future partners.

The ease of the ASTRA platform is universally recognized irrelevant of language or cultural difference. The world’s 2nd largest economy will now have access to the benefits that the world’s largest economy will have early access to.

Gemstra has simplified the process for making money in your spare time for millions and millions of people all over the world.
