(presented by www.data-entry-jobs.net - data entry jobs)
By Duane Begines
Our mailboxes are flooded with direct mail “hype”. We get phone calls
promising us “simple” proven home based business opportunities. The
internet is full of promises to make us “millionaires”. How do you
sort it all out? Who can you believe?
What we really want is a realistic way to make extra money and eventually
say goodbye to our “job” and be boss free. You can sort through all
the hype. Here are 7 steps to find your own home based business opportunity.
1. The Why- To start to sift through all the offers available, you must
know… the why? Write down your top 25 reasons for starting a home
based business or wanting to work from home. Find out what you really
want your life to be like. What do you expect?
2. The What- review your reasons why. The list should give you an idea
of the direction you want to go towards. Do you want to make something
like jewelry or soy candles? Provide a service like catering or house
keeping? Maybe sell a product or become an affiliate for some info
product? Possibly set up a website or a storefront. You will find
some areas that are yeses, maybes, and definitely not interested.
3. The How- Armed with a list of your whats you can now search for the
how. Use the search engines and review your options. Take your time
searching until you find home based businesses that interest you.
Don’t rush this step… explore alot of options.
4. The Promise- There is alot of “hype” surrounding the “promise” of
“easy money”… make $100,000 to $200,000 your first year”… “earn
$1000 a day”. I believe the old adage “If it sounds to be good to
be true… It Is!”
There are a few resources you can use to find out
what other people have experienced with the product or program. The best
is ripoffreport.com. It has real world
feedback and rebuttals on programs etc. Another good online resource with alot of information
is Internet Fraud.
The Better Business Bureau may provide some information but, they are
usually local or state organizations. They often don’t have much
information on the national programs. Another way to get more knowledge
is to do a search on the business,the person,or subject and find relevant comments.
Be careful of the online “reviews” as alot of them are affiliate marketers
wanting a commission for the sale of the product. You can usually tell if
there is an active link to a sales page in the “review”.
5. The Investment- All home based businesses require some money to get started.
You may need cleaning supplies, brochures, a website, a product to sell, or a
storefront. Write down a list of everything you can think of that you may
need. When you talk to the representative of the company their “enthusiasm” can
distract you from finding out the “hidden fees”. There may be a monthly maintenance
fee, a website charge or upfront or backend money that will be due. Refer to your
list when the sales pitch is over to see if your questions were answered.
6. The Commitment- There is a commitment for any new business. How much time can
you devote daily or weekly? You will also have to “learn the ropes” of your
business. Will you start off part time until you can replace you “job’s” income?
Or can you financially afford to make this business a full time adventure?
Energy and enthusiasm are the easy parts.
7. The Decision- You now have enough information on some home based business
opportunities. Which business appeals to you the most? Which one do you see
yourself enjoying doing? Remember you don’t want it to seem like a “job”
down the road. Now… go ahead and get started!
You now know the 7 Steps to find your own home based business opportunity.
Mixed with your new enthusiasm there is an element of fear. Don’t worry!
You can learn anything you put your mind to. You will get better at your
business each and every day. Join the 50,000,000 inde!
