The 2 Rules To Finding Your Ideal Home Business Opportunity

By Russell Howe


With blogging companies like Empower Network and health companies like Visalus offering very different home business concepts, it is clear that choosing the right opportunity is often just a matter of personal taste. If you dream of learning how to become your own boss this year, then the first move is learning how to choose a business which suits you.

One of the biggest mistakes made by budding internet marketers is the presumption that there is a perfect home business out there, one which is superior in every way to it's competitors.

After being in the industry for as little as a month, you will begin to notice that different businesses offer very different ways of earning money online. They'll represent different ideas and interests so it would pay dividends to find something you actually enjoy. Don't rush in, this is a big mistake.

Sure, every opportunity you come across might tell you it's the one you have been waiting to discover. After all, that is their job. They want you to choose their company over their competitors. Much like when you are working a an affiliate and you will do exactly the same thing in order to attract people to you as a sponsor. It's up to you, however, to possess the level headedness to make the best decision. []

Two answers will help you to get started in the right way:

1) What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Do you have a hobby you wished you could have done more with?

2) What type of earnings opportunity are you more attracted to?

You may wonder why your favorite hobby matters when it comes to choosing a business, well, I will explain this to you right now. Over 80% of folks who try to work for themselves do so because they don't like their 9-5 jobs. One day, they decided that they want to do something they enjoy for a living instead of something they disliked. If you choose something which you are actually interested in you will stand a much greater chance of reaching success.

Whether your favorite interest is photography, fitness, blogging or clothing, there is an affiliate program out there to cater to your needs. The reason most folks fail in affiliate businesses comes down to the fact that they saw the potential earnings and jumped in without taking the time to find something they were actually interested in. When you do that, you tend to lose interest quite fast.

You can usually tell when somebody continually makes this mistake, because you will notice them promoting various different opportunities over a very short period of time.

If you take a look at somebody who genuinely loves what they do it is easy to see why they are successful with it. You can often tell the different look in their eyes from somebody who is there just to build an income on the side. [

The second part of choosing the best home business is the affiliate program. You'll generally see 2 different approaches to this subject. Those with a sales background who are quite good at directly selling products will favor an affiliate program which goes down that road, whereas others will appreciate a team building approach. Direct sales plans will always pay you more income per sale, but the task of making it work is entirely on your shoulders. Team building systems will pay you significantly less, although you do enable to ability to collect a commission each time your referrals build their own business, too. Providing you can attract people who are as serious as you are, a team build program can also be quite lucrative. The matter of 'which is better' is a matter of individual taste and most companies try to incorporate aspects of both while striving to make their affiliate plan unique.

If you ask any existing affiliate marketer for their tips on how to become your own boss it is highly likely that you will be met with a bunch of sales pitches, such is the nature of the work from home industry. However, you now know the two basic decisions you must take in order to get off to a great start. Whether you work with a blogging company like Empower Network or a cosmetics chain like Avon, finding something which appeals to you is hugely important in determining your chances of success.
