So you want to start a home based business, where do you start? Well you can answer various adds on TV,Radio, on-line, etc. Talk to friends and family they may know of someone involved in something and it may interest you. What do you need to do first? You need to figure out how much time you have that you can put into it, how much $$$$ [yes you will need to spend money, more on that later] and why do you want to do this. You will need to be open minded and ready for a change in your life, in the beginning it will take more time then you'd like the business to but it will get better as you learn. There will be naysayers that tell you it wont work. Have they actually ever tried anything besides going to their job working for someone else. You may be uncomfortable at time doing these new things, but that will pass especially as your checks get bigger.
How will you know if an opportunity is legit? Well if your reading this I would have to assume you have internet access, so google them. Also go to places like scam.com One thing becareful on those site, while they are helpful there are some angry people on there who fall into the naysayer category. You will be able to spot them they have negative things to say about every opportunity. Find out how long have they been in business. How their compensation payout works [has anyone complained about lack of payout?] Any lawsuits or investigation? You get the point. Most important make sure you believe in the product or service, so you can "be a product of the product" Sure this isn't 100% necessary but it puts the odds in your favor. This also includes real estate, surveys [stay away], data entry, etc.
Now back to the money issue. Sure you are going to need to put up money, but how much has to be decided by you before you set out on this adventure. This will narrow down you choice to what fits you best. You might think why is this necessary, while every company has different reasons for it, the bottom line is there are expenses to be incurred during start-up and operation. Just look at franchising fees for McDonald's.
I have over 10 years experience in trying these things and am currently involved in one I believe in, so if you have any questions about anything in this regards feel free to ask me.
