What you need to know if you want to work from home.

1.  You need to decide what tipe of work you want to find a job or a business. There is a big difference. Later I will talk about Business.

Home based jobs are quite hard to find. Though, they are possible to find, you will need certain qualifications in order to work for most legit companies. If you are looking for a Data Entry job, you will need to take tests in order to prove your typing and ten key skills. You can also find Telecommuting jobs such as answering services. There are even places that will pay you to proofread and write. You can find these types of companies by searching the internet for work at home websites. Please remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it is! If an ad says that you can make thousands of dollars in a week... BEWARE!!! More than likely they will ask for money for "start up" costs. A legit company will NOT ask you to pay for a work from home "job". I recommend talking to your current employer to see if they are willing to work something out for you to work full time or part time from home. You can also visit many of the mom message boards online for information on companies to find out if they are legit or scams.

Having your own home based business is a great way to make money from home. You can become a representative for a company or create your own products. With some companies that offer representative positions, you may have to pay to join. This is also referred to as Direct Sales. Other companies offer their program free. When you pay to join, you may receive a kit of the products, a website, brochures and other items to help promote their website and products. You would then make a percentage of each sale. Although, there is the potential for great earnings being a representative, the best way to make a profit with your own business is to make your own products. If you have a tax id, you can find many of the materials to make your products at wholesale prices. The internet is a great source for wholesale craft supplies. If you decide to make your own products there is the potential to make even more money. You could offer your products wholesale to other companies, drop ship them for other companies or even start your own direct sales company.

 2. If you looking for a business opportunity you need to be careful not to get in a Pyramid Scheme. How to find the difference between Business and Pyramid Scheme? You may find in in my blog DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEGITIMATE NETWORK MARKETING COMPANIES AND PYRAMID SCHEMES

3.The product. Does your family need this product or service you will work with?

You need to fell in love with the product or service of this company, and remember, your team will dobble what you doing. Business begins not at the moment YOU joined the COMPANY, but when COMPANY joined YOU. Home-based business is not about money, it about helping each other. If you will love people before money, you will see a lot of people who will want to be your friend, and join your business. (I want to tell you one more secret, use your product or service by your own. When you use it, you will have a lot of your own stories, and believe, people recognize the fake story from the true one.)

4. Last one I want to tell you - Compensation Plan. Usually they are very complicated. You do not need to dig up to the president position. To get there, you will need years. I suggest you to know how much % company will pay you up to at least on 3-4 positions. Is it possible to get 3-rd or 4-th position with invesing? How much it will cost to you or how fast you may achieve those positions, if you start your business without investment.
