Home Based Business Opportunity Tests

We are going to make a living with this?
Well that is what all the make money at home sites swear can be done.
With the family situation that we have this is a prospect that just had to be explored with the hopes that it was true. Yes it would be great to become millionaires but all we are searching for is a way to make a comfortable income that allows us to be at home to take care of the family and pets. To that end we have explored quite a few of the work at home and more often than not found them to be nothing more than scams or multi level markets that have only one goal and that is to sell their market plan.
Others are real estate investing secrets exposed. These promise to make you millionaires if only you follow the plan to the letter. An example buy houses with no money down. Sounds too good to be true. Or the buy foreclosed houses for pennies on the dollar and sell them for huge profits.
These are some of the types of things we have looked into only to find that as far as real estate goes this is about the worse time in history to even try that venture unless you are already a millionaire and happen to have a construction crew just waiting to rebuild the houses you buy.
Not to mention that running all around the city or county is hardly what can be considered a home based business. Home office yes, home based no.
As for the multi level marketing plans these make money for the people who originally start them but they are like the pyramid scams the longer they are in operation the more new people it takes to keep it going. Bottom line is if there is no product that the customers would want to buy other than the market plan you will lose your money nine times out of ten.
Just like any business its the product that makes the money and allows whatever sales delivery system to work.
Now all of this is common sense we realize that but it is very hard to remember when you are getting blasted by all the testimonials and promises from someone wanting to separate you from your money. They are highly motivated to get you to join their business because that's how they make money. Not to mention you may not even be dealing with a human at all because there are some very sophisticated programs out there that automatically send out regular emails and even targeted videos. When you get these emails your first thought is that it has been personalized just for you and that someone is at the other end. Well it was personalized just for you but it was a program not a human that did it. Now our thoughts on these type of market programs is that if there is a product to sell this could be a great way to earn an extra income. But again it is multi level marketing so the odds of becoming a millionaire are slim at best.
