The bad news is that these kinds of legitimate work at home opportunities are like finding a needle in a haystack. You have to go through tons of hay before finding that precious needle.

When you do find right home business ideas for your lifestyle and budget, then you will have to work VERY HARD and SMART in order to make it succeed. There is a high frustration rate for people coming online to seek their fortunes. Many never make one thin dime.

To avoid this happening to you, first thing you should do when you find something you’re interested in is ASK questions. You can use google to search for any negatives and positives about your chosen opportunity.

The Internet is great for finding out truth about best home based business opportunities AND lemons. The Internet is a big community and many people are willing to share their experiences and horror stories.

A great message board to ask about home business opportunities is: Friends in Business http://friendsinbusiness.com/board1/index.cgi?

A new year is beginning and it’s great to feel that rush of excitement as you go about your goal of creating a better life for yourself. However, before you plop down that wad of cash on a “sure thing” remember that success doesn’t happen overnight (not even for all those Internet gurus), and in order to be really successful online you need to slow down and first learn strategic Internet marketing.

This means a lot of reading and studying from people who have been there and done that successfully. Hint: message boards are great for this.

So good luck and stay away from those sharks. Don’t let them make a poor Internet sucker out of you.

Don’t laugh. Maybe you’re coming across same way. While Mike has collected a few dollars – slightly over $100 – fourteen thousand visitors have obviously not seen his blatant money grab as anything more than amusing. Meaning, they come out of curiosity, but don’t part with their hard earned cash.

If any of us are destined to become a millionaire, it’s not going to happen overnight. It’s not going to happen without a lot of work. But I’m sure you’ve heard this before. Keep in mind that people don’t owe you or me a darn thing.

I finally figured this out: If one truly wants to be wealthy, one must not think about money. That’s right. Forget about how much money you could make. Only then can we get back to enjoying online experience for what it is. A big community of people like us.
