Finding the best home business opportunities can be difficult because there are so many business out there. A simple search turns up affiliate marketing ventures, network marketing opportunities, and independent distribution businesses.
Every single business out there claims to have the best commission structure, the best "proven" marketing system, the best product, the best back room-the best everything. So how do you wade through all the options you have? You might think one of the best things to do is look at reviews. After all, that's how you research everything you spend money on. You look at reviews, you weigh pros and cons, expenses versus benefits.
Reading reviews can be a smart thing-particularly when searching for a business opportunity. But it's important to keep in mind that most "reviews" are written by people trying to recruit you into their business. That doesn't mean the information isn't valid-in most cases it is. It does mean, however, that the focus will be entirely positive and won't give you a balanced look at the business.
If you keep that in mind, it's easier to wade through all the information and find your way to the truth. Here are some things you should never believe, no matter what the business is:
*This business runs itself while you sleep.
*You'll make thousands of dollars the first week-doing virtually nothing.
*Set up your website and watch the money roll in.
*Some guru has "discovered" a magical marketing system that is guaranteed to make you money.
It's important to wade through the hype and get to the meat of the business. Find answers to these questions: What is the product? What is the commission structure? How much will you have to spend initially and long-term? How much can you realistically expect to earn?
The best recommendation any home entrepreneur can give anyone getting in on the online business game is to listen to what your gut is telling you. If you are excited about the business and the product, you can bet that others will be, too. If your gut is telling you to stay away, or if you can't realistically answer the above questions, find something else.
