How old is company? - a company that is completely new is susceptible to disappearing from radar. Be cautious of businesses claiming to be in pre-launch for 2 reasons. 1. that means they are new and may have no idea what they are doing and 2. these companies always claim to be in pre-launch even though they launched (started doing business) months ago. Of course every great company was new once so there are times when a new company can be a great opportunity. Check to see what word is, do some searches and try to find out what people are saying about company and about leaders. If leadership is good than you maybe onto a good thing.

How experienced is leadership? - once or twice a year a new company will come on scene and people will be climbing over each other to come on board. The reason is usually because it is another brain child of a team with a proven record of success. They have experience to get it right from start.

Does company provide training? - two pages about how to post free classifieds is not training (that was extent of it on one of earliest companies I joined). Training should be comprehensive, covering how to advertise, where to advertise, what to say in your advertisement, where to find business, how to talk to people, how to stay motivated, how to increase your business, how to train new team members and more. Very importantly it should include at least weekly phone conferences from company experts and leaders for you to learn how they do it and have your questions answered.

Will you get adequate support? - if you have questions or concerns it's nice to know that there is someone to answer them. The top notch businesses will actually have a support department available to answer any questions you may have.

If you find a business meeting all these criteria then you are off to a good start. But remember this is only first step in a longer haul. You must have persistence if you are going to make it.

Keep learning, keep at it and don't give up.

There are additional reasons why now is perfect timing for starting an Internet marketing home business:

The industry has already been successfully pioneered and many of those that trail blazed before you have made available, information about every imaginable facet of Internet marketing. See Internet marketing courses at http://www.007workfromhome.com/internet-marketing-courses.php

Building and developing web sites no longer requires you to learn HTML code. There are several software products that make building web sites easy and enjoyable.

Making your site available on Internet for other people to visit is very cheap. For example, buying a name can cost less than $6/year (if you know where to go, see cheap domain names) and having it available on Internet can cost as little as $7 to $8 per month or even cheaper if you're prepared to settle for lower quality standards.

There are hundreds of pre-packaged, ready to go work from home business opportunities that don't require you to build anything. They provide training, resources, web sites and support. Unfortunately, a lot of them are not worth your time. See The Best Work From Home Business Opportunities for programs that I personally endorse at: http://www.007workfromhome.com/work-from-home-business-opportunity-recommendations.php

You have immediate access to a world-wide market; over 729.2 million (March 2004).

If you sell a digital product distributions costs are practically zero (amazing isn't it!)

Profit margins are very, very high; levels unheard of in traditional business world.

Your number 1 salesman (your web site) will never take a holiday, working day after day 24/7 for a little at $8/month!

There is no better time than now to begin your business and change course of rest of your life. Every journey begins with first step but no one can take it for you.

Take action now.
