Easy Income

I’m largely confined to home for health reasons but still need to earn a decent income. My computer skills are pretty good but I don’t have much for an initial investment. Any suggestions?

I suggest starting your own home based business. Most home based business cost under $500. Some cost more depending on what it is you want to do. Most home based businesses have training programs to teach you the trade and help you get started. I don’t know what you like to do, so I can only tell you what my husband and I started over six years ago and point you out to some others to take a look at. Ours well supports our family of six (we have four children).
My husband is disabled and he’s able to do this, so I’m sure you can too.

I also created a blog on my 360 page on home based business’s. There’s over half a dozen different ones to take a look at. Your more then welcome to browse through them. If you find one that’s interesting, contact the person who wrote it and they can point you out in the right direction.

We got involved with a 15 year old world wide company in the telecommunicatons industry. We’ve been featured in several magazines like USA Today, Success, Fortune etc. Inc 500 rated us the 22nd fastest growing company. They offer services that people use every day and pay for anyway, but now they can have a lower cost. Services such as local and long distance phones, Internet, digital phones, video phones (you can see the person your taking to live)VOIP, Satallite tv, and all the major cellular phone companies like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Alltell, Nextell etc. have partnered up with them too.
How many people do you know, or know of, that uses or has one or more of these services? How would you feel if you could save people money on services that they’re most likely already using, if not you can offer them the service, and everytime they pay their bills each month, you make a percentage off these bills every single month. Huge income opportunity. It’s incredible how much money is involved in this industry.
You can work online or off line.
If you’d like more information feel free to email me and I’ll be happy to pass it along to you.
Another thing you can do is get involved in the candle industry. I have a friend that has that in her own home based business and makes candles and does fundraisers for schools as well as for non-profit organizations. She does really well. If you’d like her information email me and I’d be happy to email you back with it.

A friend of mine started a biz opp about 2 weeks ago. The other night while I was having dinner with her, she got an email that said she made a sale. She’s never tried to sell me on it, but she did mention that she makes $500 – $1000 per sale.
What really gets me is that she never works on it. She pays for leads and the program includes people who close her sales for her.
From what I can tell at the site http://www.dsire2succeed.com it deals with the travel industry and I can’t find any negative information online about it.
I’d love to hear your experience and why I should or shouldn’t invest in it myself.

Please do not advertise your own opportunity, I’m not interested. Just looking for advice from those working the same business.

Thanks!
Lee R-I said I’m not interested in any other opportunity. Read much?

Who is Lee R? I don’t see an answerer by that name??

Here’s a few things that you should take a look at before getting involved in any company. I’m not trying to advertise to you what my husband and I do, but give you examples, using my own business, on what you need to look into with this business. Questions you should find out before getting involved. If you had of said that your friend has been involved for a few months and said she kept getting notices on a sale, and was getting paid,I would of told you to go for it. But being as she’s only been involved for two weeks, has she (probably not being as it’s only been two weeks and that’s not enough time for the account department to issue her a commissions check) but has she received any money yet? Do you have proof of that? (Not saying she’d lie about it either) Is it just emails being sent? Here’s some things you should check into, like I said using my business as an example as to what we’ve done before getting involved. Find out these things and if your satisfied with the answers then go for it.

1. How long have they been in business? We checked to see how long our company was around, at the time it was nine years old and now it’s 15. Do you know when they started?
If it’s under 5 and you have to put an investment down, it would be risky. When we checked out the business we chose, it was almost 10 years old, so the probability of it disappearing was fairly low.

2. Are they registered with the BBB. Ours is registered. I think this is important one.

3. Who’s involved with the company? Like in ours Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki has endorsed our company. We also have three former state attorney generals on the legal advisory commity. Do they have the legal backing?
Check to see if anyone has endorsed this company or is involved in any way with the company.
Also, meet with the co-founders. We’ve personally met our co-founders and found from our first meeting that they were incredible people with incredible visions. See if their’s a time where you can meet them. If your going to be doing business, there should be a time where you should have the chance to meet with them and find out what their goals for the future is, for their representatives as well as their company.

4. What is the compensation plan now, and what was it like before. See the history of the compensation plan. Has it ever increasedand never decreased in the company’s history. We checked with the records in our business and found that in over the years, the compensation plan had only gotten better each year. As long as we’ve been involved, we’ve now witnessed the compensation plan always increasing. Check the history on yours. Make sure the compensation plan is worth the time and effort.

5.Have they been featured in magazine’s? For instance our company has been featured in several magazines Like Success, Fortune, USA Today etc. Check to see if they have. You can get a lot of information on the company by reading about them.

6. Has Inc 500 rated them? This magazine had rated our company the 22nd fastest growing company in revenue in it’s first 5 years. Inc 500 shows the top 500 businesses in revenue growth. Check to see what Inc 500 rated the company your looking at. If their not on the list and they’ve been around for over five years, it would worry me.

7. Do they have a physical address that you can go to? Check for an address not just a P.O. Box If you can go to it, go and see the corporation. Asks questions.

8. Where are their headquarters? Do they have headquarters?Our world headquarters is in Farmington Hills Michigan, Personally been there, (If your here in the states) Other headquarters in Amsterdam, Sydney and Montreal etc. If they claim to be world wide, where are each headquarters located. Are they accessable?

9. What does the start up cost take care of? In my business headquarters takes care of all the billing for my customers, Inventory, Customer services, Order Entry, Employees, workman’s comp, Cross referencing, Licensing, Insurance, paperwork, accounts payables, accounts receivables etc.

10. What is the product and service you would be selling.
Is the product and service in high demand? For instance we offer services that people are already using every day and paying for anyway, but at a lower cost. Things like Local and Long distance telephone services, Internet, video phones, digital phones, cellular phones through all the major cellular providers. We make a percentage every single month they pay their bills. Everyone uses them and everyone pays for them. When money gets tight, would they keep your service or be able to run to the store and be able to purchase them on sale? Leaving you to have to wait until they run out of what they just purchased, or wait until their finances get settled? This is what I mean by high demand.

11. The product and services that you’d be providing, would you use and purchase yourself? Do you pay less then the normal person purchasing? ( you should have some sort of discounted rate being as your representing the company)

So many different things to check out in making sure a business is a good one to get involved in. If the business feels right to you, and all questions are answered with proof, then I’d say jump in. Running a business is different then a job though. You have to treat it like it’s your child and not just something your going to "try" you have to believe in the product and service and go at it full force. This is your future your talking about, no one else’s.
I hope my examples of what we looked into with our business helps you be able to find the same answers in your business. Forget about asking the common question and asking someone how much they make in their business to determine if you’d get involved in it or not. In a business, it doesn’t matter what one business is making over another. It only matters what you do in "YOUR" business. I hate it when people ask me how much I make. Because they’re not going to walk into and start up their business making what I make. I’ve been involved with my business for over six years. So yeah, I will make more then someone who just starts their business. If you tell someone how much you make, then it’s a psychological thing that they expect to make that amount in a week, and that is just not going to happen. Six years of building a business verses 1 day. So don’t even ask. Look at the possibilities for YOURSELF.
Hope this helps!

I am a single mother of a young child with medical problems. I need to stay at home with him, but I have bills to pay and need to be able to work. I struggle every month trying to make ends meet and I am just barely scraping by. I would love to be able to work from home but I have been unable to find a ligitimate work at home opportunity. I don’t have alot of extra money so I don’t have the money to invest in all the at home business opportunities that I see on the internet. I am not looking for a free ride just a genuine opportunity to work at home and provide for my son. If anyone knows of an opprotunity I would greatly appreciate the help. By the way I am located in NC. I have good telephone skills, I can type and am computer literate, also I am a very fast learner and would be willing to do just about any kind of at home work.

I have been making money on internet for 4 years and I was personally scammed by a good many making money methods.Finally,I found the most legitimate, effective and fast way for beginner to make money is doing paid surveys if you have a computer with Internet access and can sit at your computer for 1.5-3 hours per day.

But before joining a paid survey network, you should be sure that the paid survey company satisfies the following minimum requirements:
1. In business for at least 1 year.
2. Well organized, easy to navigate directories.
3. Directories updated at least weekly.
4. Helpful resources available for newcomers.
5. No "waiting period". Eligible immediately..
And more,more….

I understand it is difficult for a new online money maker to judge whether a paid survey site is good or not.So I found a survey club to help beginner make money on internet.You can visit http://www.survey-club.info to find how to earn money easily and legally.Hope that help you.

I found many websites enticing for work from home opportunities and earn thousands of dollars in a month using online business opportunities. Some sites demand some money for downloading their e-books and softwares, etc. What is the truth? Can I really earn thousands of dollars from internet?

Yes, you really can earn thousands of dollars on the internet. Informational e-books, softwares, systems etc can be a stepping stone in the right direction if you are good at implementation. Buying into someones system or just getting an e-book definitely does not create success. There are web hosts that will assist in building a business around your interests. I suggest staying away from the ready made sites and easy systems. Building a business takes hard work. The web host that I use trains and assists through the design/build process. They also analyze each step. There are a few other great options out there. I suggest that you take a look at several to get the best fit for you. You can take a look at the host I use by visiting http://www.tobuildyour.com

BEST WISHES!

I need to make at least $1000 a month by working at home. I am not interested in Online Business Opportunity’s.

I have a friend who supports herself by selling antiques on eBay. She goes to yard sales and buys antique glassware really cheap because people don’t know what it’s worth, then sells it online to collectors and makes a bundle. It’s her only source of income and she lives very well.

I have been researching home business opportunities online to help supplement my primary income however I keep hearing to watch out for scams. Are there any "work from home business opportunities" that are not scams?

the best side business is something that you like and are familiar with. If you buy into someone else’s plan, they are probably getting most of the money and you have no idea of how many of your neighbors will be your competition rather than your customers

I’m looking for something that I can work from home either in my own business opportunity (not MLM) or a job. Any suggestions, thanks!

you can become an Independent Rep. in the telecommunications Industry (wireless, internet, land-line, VOIP, Video Phone, satellite TC)

I’m a single mom of three and has been searching the internet for any at home business opportunities I can do in my spare time. I do participate in those online surveys but that seems to be a dead end. I want something that’s not a scam and will not take what money I don’t have. I do verify everything through the better business bureau. I’m not interested in posting a web link or blog because I don’t have my own business nor do I intend on having my own business. I was more interested in posting links, data entry, etc. for other companies. So if anyone has had any luck with some of those online business opportunities please feel free to share. I greatly appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks a bunch!

I’m not sure from your question if you are looking for a home BUSINESS or a home JOB. The two are totally different, but sometimes the lines are blurry.

With a home JOB, a company pays you to do specific work for them and usually no investment on your part is required except for the cost of your computer, telephone, office supplies, etc.

The line gets blurry because many companies hire people as independent contractors (so they don’t have to pay benefits, social security or income tax, etc.) which makes you self-employed from a tax perspective.

Unfortunately home JOBS are difficult to find. It usually requires having special skills that a company needs badly enough that they are willing to pay you to do it from home.

Most people who want to work from home, end up realizing that the best way is to start their own business. It gives them the freedom to be home and schedule their work hours around their family schedule.

Home Businesses usually do require an investment to buy marketing materials, a supply of product, a website, etc. The easiest way to start your own home business is to sign up with a company that uses independent distributors or sales reps to market their products. Most reputable ones are Accredited with the Better Business Bureau.

Starting your own business as a distributor is usually fairly low cost and has low monthly overhead. In exchange for the costs most companies provide free training, a website for online sales, low-cost marketing materials like catalogs, brochures, business cards etc.

Since you asked for people to share, I’ll post a link to the company that I have found personally to be a good business opportunity. It is BBB Accredited.

Does anybody know of any online businesses/work-from home opportunities that are not a scam and actually pay? Also, looking for ones with no start up costs or very little start up costs. Please help.

Having been in your situation a little while back I looked into a LOT of programs, some of which were scams (a good many), some of which paid but not enough to make it worth your time, and a very few that actually worked.

Be wary of programs that want you to pay a large start-up fee. Read thoroughly their terms of service and make sure they are going to be offering you a service worth that fee.

In resources I will list a few of the companies that I’ve found to actually pay worth the time I put into them, they are paying for reading e-mails (or clicking through at least).

Keep in mind that not every program will work for you and be selective. Track the results you get from each program.

Good luck finding the one(s) that works best for you!

Where are the best places to advertise for a legitimate Home Business Opportunity? How do I get people to my site….it is fully automated from there. I jut need to market it.

Network Marketers have struggled to realize the near-infinite networking, lead-generating potential of the Web.

How can that be?

Network Marketing (sometimes called "Multi-Level Marketing" or "MLM") is all about…

- recruiting/lead generation/relationship-building
- sales conversion
- ongoing consumption
- replicating yourself through downline motivation and training.

How in the world could the Internet not be the best thing since sliced bread for Network Marketers? Because it’s being done, all wrong, by all the wrong people.
