Best Work at Home Businesses

What are the best work at home businesses? Is any work at home business better than another? What makes a work at home business great?

These are just a few questions that come to mind of people when looking for a home based business. However, the fact remains that many people are in dire straits and need money immediately. If that's you, then the best thing to do is go get a real paying job, because most home based businesses are NOT quick fixes for money problems.

What I have found throughout the years of marketing on the Internet is that the majority of "get rich quick" work at home business opportunities are nothing but scams. If you're looking to make money fast, chances are that the opportunity you are considering is a scam. Why? Because the majority of individuals offering this type of opportunity knows your situation, you're desperate, and they pray on your emotions to make themselves rich. It's all about them and has nothing to do with your well being.

It's a known fact that desperate people take desperate measures in desperate times. And many people jump at those ridiculous "get rich quick" schemes. I guess a beautifully painted picture (even if it's only in your mind), of a rosy future, goes a long way to entice someone to join there business opportunity, even if it is a scam. An artist can can make a scam look like a beautiful business opportunity, but in the end, no matter how gorgeous it looks, it's still a scam.

So, what does make a work at home business great, or better yet, what does a great work at home business look like?

First off, a great work at home business has to have viable products and/or services; it cannot be based on money alone.

Money only businesses, like getting paid money when someone signs up under you and pays their money, are scams. However, if you get paid from a product or service sale, from a person you introduced, that is called a commission. Getting paid commissions on products or services that you are directly or indirectly involved with is legitimate.

Now if the person that bought that product, loved it so much that they wanted to sell the product on their own (by becoming a rep - personally sponsored by you) you would get paid a commission on the product, or service, sold by that rep. That "indirect" product or service sale is not just limited to the person you sponsored, but would also include a person(s) that your personally sponsored rep sponsored. And depending on the company's compensation plan, you could possibly get paid 6 or 7 levels down.

The scenario listed above is what most MLM (multi-level marketing) or network marketing businesses are all about. And, the majority of work at home businesses are network marketing businesses. Why? Because, it's the best way to earn a substantial amount of money. However, let me caution you about the money. If you do it strictly for the "money" and forget about helping others, you may find yourself with a lot of people in your organization, but without anyone doing a thing.
