Work from Home Programs

I have to let everyone out there know that you need to be cautious when looking for a home based business. I have tried just about everything out there. Some work, some are to good to be true and some are not what they seem.

I have bought Russ Dalbey's course on Real Estate notes, now this is a legitimate career, but the course is not enough to get you through the business. It basically gives you a rough idea of what you are looking for and a way to find it. It takes alot more work and alot more education then he leads you to believe. He offers a mentoring program, which is very expensive, but if you don't want to take the time to search for the information you need then it may be worth the expense. But really, all you need to do is find an investor to work with that will mentor you for nothing, and pay you for bringing in notes. I have worked many hours for no money at all in the note business, but I have also not to work hard at all to make a nice commission from "brokering" a note.

Then there is the enevolope stuffing... SCAM! I have not found one legitimate "stuffing" program.

Data entry... that would be how I came blogging actually. There are free sources out there to use to learn more about data entry in today's world... research those first. That is my advice. I ha prucahsed a program that said it would help get the data entry job and show you how to make the most money at it. It didn't promise overnight success, it said that it would take time and hard work, sounded safe... going through the program however, it was more like a referral program, each step there was another way to do it and get more money, after you spent another $97 on another product. I asked for a refund of the $97 I had paid to start with for the program and so far they have not charged my account for it. I will have to keep you updated.

Affilate programs - no who and what you are referring people to before signing up for these programs. An affilate program shouldn't cost you anything to do as far as signing up for it. However you have to promote and advertise and that can cost you money. Depending on the company and the product it really is a good way to make money. Again you aren't going to be able to retire overnight but it does work.

The Zaken Corporation - the offer a liquidation program and a referral program, that offer nice commissions and a money back guarantee. And there programs actually give you all the information that you need to run your own home based business. You can very easily make a couple thousand dollars per transaction. There have been criticisms over their customer service area for the "agents", which is you when you work for them, they are alittle slow to respond but they do respond.

Prepaid Legal - best program out there. I recommend this one to everyone actually. Whether you just buy the product for yourself and your family or if you decide to "sell". They have a great training program, you up line is there to help you whenever you need it, compensation is really good. They offer services that everyone should have, and that most people in Europe do have. They have been around for years, and they are great to their representatives and their cusotmers.

My advice to you is simple, investigate...research...understand and enjoy it. If you are looking for a home based business idea look for something that you are going to enjoy doing. Know that it takes alot of work, unpaid work I might add, to get started. You have to build your client base, no one is going to give it to you. You need to advertise and you need to know what you are offering to people. Whether it is a service or a product know what you are talking about.

Network with people, talk to people. Whatever business you decide to go with tell everyone and be excited about it. If you aren't exicted or knowledgable about what you are doing, why would anyone contact you.

I have my own home based business, I have mentored people for free... but there is work involved, there is time involved and there is a committment that is required.
