Is leafleting an ok job?

My early 20s daughter is just starting out as a s/e ceramicist after her degree but needs work to pay her way in life (lives with bf and his mum). She has a p/t job in a Hungry Horse pub but doesn't get many shifts (management seem a bit rubbish) and hates it. She's just moved into her little studio space and is going for an interview in a few days for a job delivering leaflets. Apparently it pays more than minimum wage but I have reservations about it. She's got a brilliant work ethic and attitude but she's not that tall and very slight - plus autistic. I'm worried bad things may happen. Genuine thoughts/advice anyone? I've told her my concerns and she says if it feels wrong she won't do it.

I’ve delivered leaflets for my own business. It did work some. I got about 6-7 customers from leaflet dropping in the early days. Paper adverts like paper flyers might annoy people and especially if she’s doing it for someone else and a business she’s only working for. I did door to door and post through letter box or post box and I never knocked on the door. I also only posted until 7pm because otherwise posted rubbish through peoples letterboxes too late might upset people.
