Are You Looking for a Part Time Small Business?
Why not try a home online business?
Contrary to some beliefs, these are not all “get-rich-quick” scams or pyramid schemes. In fact, a legitimate home business is hard work, but if you’ve got the time to put into it the results will be well worth the effort.
If you are a practical business-person looking for the best part time business you can find, you will want to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages in order to decide whether it’s right for you.
Below I have listed some of the advantages and disadvantages of running a home business. It is up to you to decide whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
ADVANTAGES
• You have the potential to earn far more than you could ever earn in your job
• You can set your own hours
• You can set up at an extremely low, next-to-nothing cost
• You don’t need previous experience
• You can be trained while you earn
• Most programs give you plenty of support, and there are many forums where you can meet people, get advice and encouragement, so you are never alone
• It’s fun – and with an online business, you don’t have to do cold calling!
DISADVANTAGES
• You won’t make a profit straight away
• You need to work hard at first
• It may take up to two years before you can make a full time living (if you are working on it part-time)
• You will need to spend a bit of money (but this does not have to be much more than $100 - $200 at first)
In any work that you choose to do, there are always going to be advantages and disadvantages. Much of the time we tend to put up with many disadvantages in order to get enough money to pay the mortgage and keep ourselves and our families relatively comfortable.
This is great if we are happy with the work we are doing, but if you wake up every Monday morning with a sinking feeling, or spend every weekend dreading the week ahead, is it really worth it?
Starting an online home business may not be the immediate remedy to this, but it may be the key that will unlock the door of employment into a world of financial freedom within a year or two – or even a few months.
How much you can make, and how soon, is very much a matter of how much effort you put in and how much time you can spend on it.
If you are unsure, there are many programs that allow you to join for free, or give you a free trial. This gives you the time to find out whether it’s for you and see if you can make the kind of progress you want.
You will also need to find a program that offers training in internet marketing. While it’s true that you do not need any previous experience, you will need to learn the basics of internet marketing if you are going to be successful. There are many programs that offer this kind of training, and some even give you your own website to get started.
The best way to find a program for you is to use a website that gives you information and reviews about various programs so you can choose for yourself. Most people who own this kind of website have tried out the programs for themselves, and will usually only be advertising the ones that are most successful, and it’s also the best way of avoiding any scams.
So, find something that appeals to you, focus, learn and take action!
