subject: Employment Options Where Employees Earn Commission [print this page] Some people are comfortable with the idea of going into work, punching a clock, and taking home their paycheck knowing the exact amount. They like the security of counting on a salary, even if they know they will never make a bundle. There are others who love the thrill of sales, and they are willing to sign on for a small base commission if it means they can earn a lot more if they meet sales goals. If this idea appeals to you and you are looking to jump into the job market, you have quite a few options for finding commission and tips based work. In each field, there is a base amount you make which is often very low. In order to meet a living wage and beyond, you will have to rely on your sales skills. An example of this is selling vehicles. Car dealer websites and car dealer marketing will help you meet your sales goals and those who hustle will make the most of their earning potential.
If selling vehicles is not your thing and you long for something more glamorous and exciting, consider being a dealer at a casino. Dealers make money based on how much the people at their table win. If a high roller wins big, it will benefit the dealer. You get the fun of working in the glamorous world of a Vegas casino and the thrill of earning based on someone else's gambling.
Waiting tables is another great option for earning tips. While you may not earn as big as you would if someone won a big hand of blackjack, you will get consistent tips throughout your shift. More customers know they are supposed to tip in restaurants than they do when gambling. Furthermore, customers should tip for service and in the casinos, players typically only tip when they win. You are not relying on the good fortune of customers but instead, your own attitude, great service, and ability to make your tips.
Bartenders earn tips like waitresses and waiters, but may earn more because of the friendly aspect. There are plenty of opportunities to chat and get to know your customers when bartending. If you can find a job in an elegant bar or nightclub, the earnings could be outstanding.
Finally, if you are looking for a part-time job that pays commission or salary, there are plenty of options out there. Part-time options exist in fields like delivery drivers or, you can work part-time on a showroom floor selling everything from makeup to electronics, or you can create a home-based business in which you sell and the parent company pays you commission and bonuses.
