With so many internet home based businesses available, I wanted to share my experiences with you and hopefully prevent you from falling prey to many of them as I did. I've been searching and participating in work from home ventures for nearly 10 years. I've spent tens of thousands of dollars, maxed out my credit cards and had my excellent credit rating driven into the ground. Following are some of the pitfalls I fell into:
1. Beware of programs that say they are free. They are not being up front with you. You do not want to be involved with an internet home business that starts out with a lie. They will get your money somehow. If you are going to start any kind of a business, it is undoubtedly going to cost you something but they need to tell you that in the beginning.
2. Beware of programs that promise you millions of dollars with very little work. There is no such thing as "Get Rich Quick"! Every good solid home based business takes time to establish. These people will fill you with false hope, take your money just to make the sale and virtually leave you on your own. You will get out of every work at home venture exactly what you put into it work-wise.
3. Beware of programs that only offer you online or ebook instruction without any live support. Especially if they don't give you a telephone number to call if you have questions. I know that whenever I do any kind of work at home program, I have questions and need a live person to talk to for my answers.
4. Beware of the programs telling you to build a website (which of course you have to purchase from them) and tell you that once the site is up and running, the money will pour in. Websites that you build yourself are a lot of work, although worthwhile if done correctly. They do not blossom overnight and need lots of marketing which you will need to learn to be effective. These companies do not offer you the courses you need to learn this. If they do, that will be an additional expense. Companies need to be upfront with you from the very beginning as to what all will be involved cost-wise and education-wise. This one was my biggest expense and my biggest failure simply because I was not given the proper instruction and guidance. Oh, I built a beautiful site but didn't know enough about the marketing aspect at the time to make it successful.
I have been involved with so many internet businesses, some of them MLM's (Multi Level Marketing). I have nothing against the MLM companies as some of them can be very profitable but I was never able to find the people to join under me and I consequestly never made any money. The others were the ones that made me so many promises and made me "an offer I couldn't refuse" only to let me miserably down in the end.
Now for the good news. I have found a company that is upfront and honest and is coming through with every promise they made me. It is GUARANTEED (I really liked that part), and PROVEN TO WORK! You really CANNOT FAIL! It has step by step videos and audios and you are provided with an advisor that you can call at any time to have your questions answered. If I can be successful (which I am!) at this home based business, I know you can be also.
Why not take the time to look at this website. It could be just what you have been looking for. I only wish I would have found it sooner.
