The Best Home Business Options I Have Found

If you're like me you are looking for a way to make extra money and maybe grow it into a full time income. This page is dedicated to the 2 best home based business opportunities I have found over the last few years searching and narrowing down many many different types of businesses.

Let me tell you quickly how I got to this point. After getting my masters in business administration (MBA) I started looking and really thinking about the type of business I wanted to start. I looked at everything from buying an existing business to franchises. During this process I made a list of what my "dream business" would be like. Here are some of the things on the list:

- No store front. I did not want to be tied to hours of operation. I mean if I am starting my dream business to give me more freedom, who wants to be tied to store hours and a hefty lease?
- No employees or very few employees. If you have ever managed employees you understand.
- I wanted to start part time and could grow into full time income. I could not afford to just quit my job.
- Low start up cost.
Anyway, you get the idea and if your looking for a home based business you probably already have these things on your list.

In all of my research over the past few years I have narrowed it down to 2 home based business opportunities that you can start with almost no cost and have the potential to be extremely profitable. They are Internet/Affiliate Marketing and Network Marketing. I go into detail about each of these below.

Why Network Marketing as a Home Based Business? 

This is not your Grandpa's Amway!

It's all about relationships. It is widely understood that relationship (network) marketing or word of mouth marketing is the most effective and productive marketing. Think about it, when someone you trust tells you about a product you listen. No ads, no pressure just 2 people talking.

Here is what I like about Network Marketing:
- The Income Potential is HUGE. With the right company and a little effort you can bring in $1000+ a month. With more effort you can bring in $10,000+ a month.
- Great Products.
- Very Little Start-up Costs.
- Support! Those in the business with you are there to help you.
- No 9-5 here, work whenever and wherever you want.
- Great business for stay at home Mom's.

To get started in Network Marketing you need to look for a few things:

- You want to find a company that has products you would like to use and sell. Most network marketing companies are health product based.

- You want to look for great founders who know what they are doing.

- You want to get in early. To increase your odds of being successful getting in early is huge.

So where do you find a Network Marketing Company?

- goto google and search for Network Marketing and you will find a lot.

I have found a new company that I am working with. They meet all the things I am looking for in a Network Marketing company.

- The founders are top in the industry. They all have years of experience working at top levels of other Network Marketing companies.

- They are currently in "pre-launch" so the time to get in is now. The compensation plan is looking very good.

- They have great products that have already helped our family live healthier.

Why Internet/Affiliate Marketing and The Best Place to Start 

Internet Marketing is basically selling companies products online and they give you a percentage of the sell. This is also known as affiliate marketing.

This is not easy to learn and requires you to spend time learning how to market products on the internet. There are many websites out there that will tell you its easy and you make make tons of cash overnight. They are scams! This is not a get rich quick business.

Why I like Internet Marketing:

- Income potential is very good. Once you learn how to do it you can earn $200+ a day. If you get really good at it you can earn $1000+ per day.

- You can do it from anywhere and at anytime. All you need is an internet connection.

- You can start for free.

- You learn a skill that can help you through out your life.

The Best Place to Start.

I have spent A LOT of time looking at different programs about how to learn Interent Marketing. The best program by far I have found is Wealthy Affiliate (WA).

Why is Wealthy Affiliate the best?

- The guys that run it are successful internet marketers themselves. They know what it takes to be successful.

- Tons and tons of training material and tutorials.

- The best part is the forums. Here they have an amazing amount of infomration about internet marketing and also you can ask questions. They have experts in there that will take a look at what you are doing and give you suggestions on how to improve.

- They give you all the tools you need to do internet marketing. You get free web space, design tools, keyword tools, etc, etc.

It does cost $29.99 per month, but it is very much worth the cost. If you are at all interested in Internet Marketing you should check it out. Even if you only join for a month you will learn so much.
