subject: 6 Things To Consider When Choosing A Good Home Business [print this page] Many of us have a real need to make money right now. One thing that happens millions of times every day is people will Google search ideas on starting a home business. This can be a great way to make money online, but there are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing a good home business.
Here are six things I personally look at before joining in a home business opportunity!
1. Is there a demand for the product? The Internet is too big to think you go out and create a demand for a product.
You want to find products that people are already spending money on. Luckily there are literally thousands of these online you can sell today.
2. How much competition? You stand a better chance of making more money with your home business if you can eliminate competition to a certain extent.
I like to think in terms of micro-niches. This is taking a broad idea and really narrowing it down to the point that you are flying under the radar compared to most Internet marketers.
3. Can you make enough money to make it worth your time? I recently joined a home business start up company that changed their compensation plan after I joined.
To me the income that they were paying out on the initial sale was not worth the time to promote it. This is not to say that you have to make a lot of money on your initial sale. Many home business opportunities are set up to pay residual income.
You have to weigh the amount of time it's going to take you to make money, versus how much you initially earn, to determine whether this is a good business opportunity for you to join or not.
4. Is there quality training? Even professional Internet marketers are going to need some training on the products and the business opportunity.
There certainly is a difference between training and quality training. A good example of this would be in the video training that is offered.
Most of us like to learn by watching online video. I personally like to follow along on the video by also reading a report or ebook that corresponds with the words being said.
5. Marketing materials. Are you going to create your own marketing materials, or quickly be able to use the marketing materials provided by the company.
There should be an adequate supply of banner ads in various sizes you can promote. There should also be splash pages, email marketing messages, and so on.
6. Would you buy the product yourself? Maybe a better question is have your already bought the product?
I personally like to promote products that I have bought. It's much easier to create unique content such as review blog pages based on personal use.
These are six questions to answer before choosing any home business opportunity to join!
