Are there any legit Home Based businesses?

Many people are starting to look into home businesses because they either want to earn a little extra income, or possibly retire from their jobs and work full-time at home. To many this would be the ideal job, working from home is something we have all thought or wished we can do. With the internet booming and growing every day, it's no wondering why people are turning to homes based businesses. You have the world at your fingertips, you can interact and communicate with people and all you need is a computer and internet connection. This is extremely powerful.

Now the only problem with these home bases businesses is this misconception that all these home based businesses are scams. You'll find several companies ready to bad mouth other companies to get you to join theirs to start your business. The reality is ALL of these different businesses may have slightly different offers, or compensation plans or whatever it is that set them apart from one another. When it comes down to it at the very core, these businesses are generally the same.

That's not to say that they are scams or that it's a bad thing that they are the same at its core. This just basically means, that no matter what business you decide to join, it's up to YOU whether or not you succeed. Many people who join these businesses go into it thinking that all they have to do is sign up and wait for the money to start rolling in, but in reality they have already set themselves up for failure. Just like any business you need to put some effort and actually do some work.

I know this sounds shocking; you actually have to do some work? Who would have thought? People who are quick to all these businesses scams are the same people who were looking for a get rich quick scheme. They joined because feed into all the hype with people claiming they make $10,000 a month etc. But please, don’t get me wrong, many people are making well over $10K a month, but do you think this happened over night? Do you think they signed up and the money starting rolling into their bank accounts without actually putting some effort in it? of course not.

These businesses are NOT get rich quick schemes. Nothing in life is just handed to you. You really have to understand that and have that attitude and understanding that you will need to take it serious and actually put some effort into it. Yes, people are making a lot of money in all these different businesses, and yes some people start to make a lot of money very quickly. The bottom line is, yes there legit businesses out there, quite a few. You just need to realize that you have to put some effort and treat it for what it is; a business.

If you are interested and serious getting into an online business and understand that it will actually require a little bit of work. Than please visit

Lotion, Potions & Pills? I think Not.

Why not, I ask? They seem like great companies and their comp plan looks good too. They have big corporate offices and have been around for years. Isn’t that good? Any company out there that sells products like lotions, potions, pills, miracle juices or miracle gas saving products usually doesn’t work for the average person for many reasons.

Those companies usually make most of their money from you, the distributor, not from selling the products. They have you on auto ship, so you are their income.

They only pay about 2% to 15% so many levels deep. They will tell you that when you fill the matrix, you won’t have to do anything and you’ll be making 20 to 40k a month. The truth is, there are so many loop holes to their comp plans that no body ever reaches those levels. You either will have too many people on your left, but not enough on your right side to make the higher level payouts. They tell you that you need more personal volume and your group volume is fine or vice versa, or my favorite, you had fallout this month, so you no longer qualify for that car bonus we promised you about.

They make you hold home parties to push your crap on your friends. Listen to me…..If I wanted weight loss, I’d go to GNC. If I wanted Lotions, I’d go to CVS, Save on, Nordstrom or Bullocks. If I wanted to put additives in my gas tank, I’d go to Kragen, Chief or Pep Boys and buy a product from STP or Penzoil. You get what I mean….?

They are a copy cat company of the original company. How many companies out there are selling a juice that is based from the Acai Berry, Goji berry or the Mangosteen fruit? How many of those promise to cure cancer? What a joke? Is our society that ignorant that if something actually cured cancer, wouldn’t we want to check it out? How many travel companies are there now? How many fuel additives are there now? How many of those have been shut down? How many make up, skin lotions and vitamin companies are there out there?

It just seems like there is so many junk companies on the internet, how do you what is good and what is not? Some of these companies above actually have a good product, but I would never go in business with them. These types of companies just won’t give you a chance to make real money. They will tell you differently, so use your brain and some common sense and you’ll evaluate them better.

Great Business Opprotunity

How do I choose a business?....There are so many....

When I evaluate a company, I look for these key points. Keep in mind, when I join a company, my #1 goal is to make money and to do it legitimately. I do not want to hurt anyone or rip anyone off. This is what I’ve learned and these guidelines will help you determine what company is right for you.

If you are not making at least 75% of the upfront commission when you make a sale, forget it. This means that you are doing all the work and the company and/or the person above you is making all the money.

If you have to have 1000, 10,000 or 20,000 people in your organization before you make any real money. DO NOT Join. Most people will NEVER get there.

If they teach you to hold home parties and invite all your friends. Run away fast.

If they have a sales pitch 2-3 times a day and only 2-3 training classes per week. This means that the company is more interested in selling you than training you how to make money long term

If you can’t break even or get into profit with 3 sales, forget it.

If you can’t speak with the owners or the corporate office via phone or webinar, Forget it. I like to know who I am doing business with before I will do business with them.

If it is a start up or in pre launch, forget. The chances of these companies becoming the next Amway is about as good as winning the lottery. At least with the lottery, you have a chance to win once or twice a week. You might as well go to Vegas and blow your money on a good time. At least you’ll have some great memories, see a great show and have a great meal.

These are not all the rules for success on the internet, but this is a great guideline to follow when evaluating an internet company. Use these guidelines to help you narrow down your choices for choosing a company that best fits yours goals.
