The question is now, if you want to start your own home based business, without having to go through all 51 million sites, how do you find perfect business that really suits you?

Let's begin.

Basically there're 2 types of business that you can run. I'll go through one at a time.

1. Selling a new product. If you're a super genius who knows what market's wants, that this type of business is for you.

Advantage: You will be owner of product which means you control everything; from pricing to product type. You'll become expert and people will see you as genius who create new product line.

Disadvantage: You will have to design your own marketing plan; sales letter, website design, autoresponder email system and everything. So, in other words, your business might no begin within 1 or 2 month after you develop your product. Even you already setup everything, your income might come in rather slow since most people are afraid to buy new product.

2. Selling other people product. You sell other people product and you earn income by receiving your sales commission.

I glance down and who's on phone but Ted - an old high school buddy. Now, this might sound innocuous but, without revealing my age, let's just say I hadn't spoken to Ted in quite some time. In fact, it'd been over ten years since we'd had any contact.

The conversation went something like this:

Me: Hello?

Ted: Geoffrey, hey man, this is Ted, how you been doing?

Me: Fine, and you?

Ted: Great, great - hey, remember when *blah blah blah*...Ted proceeds to talk about glory days for next 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting in my chair wanting to watch 24 and thinking, "Will you just shut up and get to point?"

Eventually Ted says something stops blathering about past and goes in for kill:

Ted: Hey, listen, it's great to chat about past and all. In fact, that's why I called you. I always respected you and wanted your opinion on something.

It's at this point that my MLM radar goes off. Yes, every one of us loves to be told we're respected. We also like to hear how much people love us and how our business acumen is best thing since Donald Trump.
