How to Select a Legitimate Home Business
With an increasing amount of scams on internet posing as legitimate home businesses it is becoming more and more difficult to find a business opportunity that is not going to take your money and run.
So how do you find a legitimate home business among all scams and schemes? Below I have listed some things you should definitely look for when selecting a home business opportunity…
Proven Business System - Is there a proven successful business system you can tap into and get up and running very quickly? You don't want to spend all of your time reinventing wheel or trying to make a bad home business system work.
Length of Time in Business - I would not invest my time, money, and resources into any home business opportunity that has not been successfully in business for at least five years. Most scams, schemes, and other bad business opportunities will not make it to five year mark. Therefore, you can greatly increase your chances of finding a legitimate home business by staying away from those that have not successfully been around for at least five years.
No Hyped Guarantees - Every home business wants you to think that theirs is best, so some fluff and hype can pretty much always be expected. However, you need to watch out for business opportunities that overdue it.
For example, any home business that "guarantees" you will make hundreds, thousands, or even millions of dollars, in any amount of time, is flat out lying to you. There is no way that any business can guarantee you will earn that much and they certainly can't know how long it will take you to do it, if it even is possible.
Credibility – I would not join a business opportunity unless it is in good standing with Better Business Bureau and other credible organizations. Plus it should have a good reputation with current and previous members. I suggest asking around at forums or doing a search for name of business to get some feedback on what others are saying about company.
Product(s) – Is product something that people will actually want and use often? Look for a business opportunity with products that are used regularly. This will help you tremendously in getting new customers as well as repeat business from previous customers.
