How To Spot A Good Home Business

By Russ Howe


When looking for the best home based business opportunity there are several key factors which you should be looking for. We are going to reveal our list of the top five things any online business should contain in order to succeed.

Just like in the real world, most businesses fail to last.

In the offline world over 70% of new businesses fail within two years. Online that figure is only 30%, so don't believe the myth that it's harder to succeed online. That being said, of course, there must be a reason why opportunities like Global Domains International are able to last long term and others cannot make it out of their starting blocks. We are going to show you that reason now.


In today\'s video, Russ Howe teaches how to find the best home based business for you.



When it comes to online business the rules are almost identical to those which you'd use if you were trying to set up a regular business in your local area. They are as follows.

1. Does the product provided by the company actually represent value for money? Most online businesses neglect their product and just hype up their earnings opportunity. That's a big reason for failure.

2. Does the affiliate plan provide a good enough financial opportunity?

3. Is the company established?

4. Set a long term goal for yourself. What are your ambitions and why are you trying to become your own boss?

5. Becoming your own boss is time consuming. Can you give this the effort it is going to require?

Answering the five simple questions above will help you to determine whether a business is a good idea or not. If any of the questions above remain unanswered it tells us that you should avoid whatever program you are currently evaluating because the chances are it won't succeed into the long term.

Remember, most companies fail. If you are serious about working for yourself and are looking into affiliate marketing as a means to do that then you have to be able to trust the company you choose.

The last lot of questions, of course, are based around you and your desire to work for yourself. This is to help you determine whether you are truly ready for the test.

You are not going to get very far if you fall into the common trap affiliates make, which is not having a long term goal. The first rule of success is to have a target. Sadly, most people who get involved in affiliate programs quite like the idea of making money online but lack the work ethic to get any results.

We'd also recommend you speak to someone in your life who has become their own boss, even if they've done it via an offline business model such as a shop or garage. They'll explain the importance of the final question, which asks how much time you have to put into your program. There will be hard, testing times and it can feel lonely when you are both the CEO and the front line staff of your own enterprise. This is part and parcel of the deal, you need to be able to take the rough with the smooth.

Quite often, the biggest enemy of an affiliate marketer is the sheer amount of false marketing and the illogical concept of making money online by doing no work. If you want to get results you need to accept that your results rest on your shoulders.

Our list of rules will help you to find the best home based business for you. Remember, there is no 'perfect' opportunity and you'll need to be able to weight up the positives and negatives without being blinded by your excitement. If you can do that and adhere to our five golden rules, you are off to a very good start.
