Will
I Get Rich Quick?
No.
Wasn't that simple?
Home Based Businesses
are currently all the rage and sweeping across the Internet like mini tornados.
They look awe-inspiring in the distance, but can wreak financial havoc
up close and real personal.
This doesn't
mean, of course, that you can't be successful working from home, but it
does mean you should take a careful look before jumping into anything
which involves you parting with sums of cash. Briefly, here are some questions
you should ask yourself first. These will be answered later on in this
section.
- Does the
effort required sound too easy? Some companies
offer big bleeping sums of cash to stuff envelopes. Think about it - most
legitimate businesses will use minimum-wage employees to do such a thing
- how can they afford to pay *you*
so much more?
- Does this
particular home-based business need more equipment than you have?
And does the offering company provide said equipment for "just a little
bit more money?" For example, let's say that you decide to include
a business website to showcase your products.
Chances are, the offering company will give you that for yet "just
a little bit more money!" Thing is, though, does said company provide
quality, visible design? Are their rates competitive
(there are *lots* of web site developers
around)?
- Does the
company provide a comprehensive history?
Are there verifiable references? Was the email which described the opportunity
addressed directly to you, or was it simply blasted out to any and all?
- Are you buying
promises, not products or services?
- Let's say
that you are selling an item for $9.97
which you have to fulfill (i.e, place in an envelop, address said envelop,
mail said envelop, etc.). Do you have the time required for fulfillment
as well as running your business?
- Would you
sell this product to your family? Can
you stand behind it?
Are these the
real costs?
