There are a tremendous number of home business and work at home opportunities offered on Internet. Many of these are all hype and try to convince you that you will be making huge amounts of money in very little time (you know, stuff like..."you will be making $5,000 per week, and more, in just a few weeks!"). You should avoid these like plague...if they were for real everyone would be doing it.

Study opportunities carefully and select home business opportunity that seems to fit your own particular style or talents. What is a good choice for one person may be a very poor fit for someone else. The common thread that applies to everyone is that you must be "for real" (as indicated above) and business opportunity itself must be "for real".

1. You want stimulation of working together with others and do better work within a group environment.

2. Your company gives you access to accounts and challenges you feel you couldn’t find on your own.

3. You don’t feel you have skills or confidence to get out there and be sure of getting enough work on your own to pay bills.

4. You may want to go freelance one day, but first want to get experience and build up a portfolio and reputation while working for a company or agency.

Finally, being freelance or working as an employee is no indicator of how ‘good’ you are. You won’t find all best writers are freelancers, or employees. I know some excellent writers who work for themselves, and some equally good writers who are employed.

When you come down to it, we all make choices based on what suits our personalities, circumstances and ambitions. There is no best way or even better way. We all have different goals in life and simply find route that best serves those goals.
