Can You Really Work For Yourself and Make Money On Line?

I bet you've heard this a few times...
 
Make Money from Home, work for yourself and have the time you need to spend with the family... 
 
"Oh Yeah, Right... That stuff never works."
 
I'm sure you've said that to yourself, and you're Right. If you believe it doesn't work, it won't.
 
On this page I'm going to give you one Big Reason why those things don't work for most people, and what you can do about it. And a few other helpful hints.

You might also want to read through these pages:

Why these things Don't Work... for most people

Do any of these things Work? 
 
No, they don't...
 
If you start any of these Opportunities with the Money in mind and not the Business, they won't work for You and You will Lose everything you put into them.
 
I talk more about what to look for in an Opportunity or Program and what to look out for on the "Scam, Schemes and Questions" page and the MLM Lies and Hype page. And if you want to know the basics, see How Do you Make Money Online. But here I'm going to talk about Real Opportunities and what you can do to not fail working them.
 
Now, let's talk about what these Opportunities or Programs are...
 
Most if not all of them are what is called MLM, or Multi-Level Marketing, sometimes called Network Marketing.
 
Right now, most of you are thinking, these are all Scams and Pyramid Schemes... While that's true of some of them, it's not true of all of them.
 
MLM or Network Marketing is Legal and is a real way of Marketing Products or Services. But because of the way some people promote them, they have gotten a Very Bad Reputation. Did you know that Mary Kay, Fuller Brush, Watkins and Avon are all MLM Companies?
 
These things do work, IF it's a good company with Good well Priced Products or Services and you work them right.
 
But one thing I will tell you, Never Believe anyone promoting an MLM or Network Marketing Program who tells you it's Easy, that anyone can make money with whatever it is. Never believe Website Hype that says, all you have to do is get people to the site and it will do all the selling for you. That's Hyped up Garbage designed to suck you into spending your money.
 
They ALL take time, work and yes, some money to get going.
 
There are many REAL Opportunities avalible to you if you want to do the work. I offer some, but there is one thing that most people do when they getting into something that almost guarantees they will fail.
 
Want to know what it is?
 
Okay, here you go....
 
They Try to Sell the Opportunity and not the Product.
 
What?
 
That's right. They work so hard trying to find others to jump into the Opportunity with them, that they forget about the Product or Service being offered. They do what every MLM Opportunity has been telling people to do since time began. They make a list of every person they know and then bother the heck out of them to join the Money Train.
 
That is not going to work and they not only fail at the business, but they lose friends doing it.
 
Sell the Product or Service... Forget about "Getting People In" to the Opportunity.
 
Or to put it more simply, Sell the Product, not the Money.
 
Most people don't want to get into business, but they might buy the product or service from you. If it's priced right.
 
Whenever you look at a Program or Opportunity, make sure it has a Product or a Service that People want. And that you can RETAIL.
 
That's right, RETAIL...
 
If you can Retail the products or the Service, you can make money, provided the company has them priced right. When you look at something that offers an Opportunity, look at what they are offering and how it's priced. Many Network Marketing Programs Hike the Price in order to pay all those Commissions. You don't want that.
 
After all, when was the last time someone from Avon or Fuller Brush or Watkins tried to get you "Into the Business" instead of selling you a Product. Those people are making money, not because they "Got People In" but because they are Retailing the Products.
 
Retail the Products or Service and you will a much better chance at succeeding.
 
If you don't think you can Retail a Good Product or Service, then either forget about it, or plan you are going to have to find people who can retail and ask them to join through you.
 
There's one program that I liked. I was even making money with it, but I could not Retail it without talking about the Opportunity. I stopped promoting it.
 
If you run into a program like that, think long and hard about whether you really want to join it. Most people are turned off by MLM or Network Marketing.
 
But if you can build a Retail Base, you will make money. And some of those retail customers just might be interested in joining you in the opportunity, but wait for them to ask you. If they do, that's good, because they're already sold on the Product or Service, just train them to retail it too.
 
If you're making money and can teach others to do what you did, you'll not only help them, but help yourself make even more money.
 
But this is NOT going to happen over night, or next week or next month or maybe even next year, unless you work very Hard at it.
 
If you think you're going to GET LUCKY with No Work, buy a Lottery ticket, you odds are much better....

Here is another Tip for you:
 
The Best time to Start a Home Business to Make Money, is when you don't need the Money. For More on these thoughts,

What is a Good Opportunity?
 
I always look at the Product or the Service being offered. And I've learned through some expensive lessons to make sure it's something I like and want myself.
 
Don't fall for the Hype on some Website or from someones Mouth. You can make money and work for yourself, but it's going to take work and time. And NEVER Believe ANYONE who tells you they'll build the Business for you... They're Full of it... don't fall for their Lies.
 
If you like the Product or the Service and want it, you are going to stay with it, even if you never make a dime promoting it. Never Join something just for the Money someone tells you you can make. If you do, you will fail.
 
And plan that you are going to have to do one thing that Website probably didn't tell. You are going to have to Retail those Products or that Service.
 
If the Product or Service can't be Retailed without talking about the Opportunity, then you had better think long and hard about whether you really want to be involved..
 
And here's something you need to know, there are basically 2 types of Opportinuties Online. And which kind you want to offer, will dictate who you can sell to.
  1. The Kind of Company with Products and Sevices you can offer to anyone. These might include, Health related sites, Electronic Products and Services, Internet related Services and Personal Services. I call them "Widgets."
  2. The second type of Opportunity offered On Line are Opportunities that help you Promote any Opportunity you may have, including the Opportunity site itself. I call these "Tools." These cannot be sold to just anyone.
For more on what to look for in an Opportunity or Program and what to look out for, go to this Page, Scams, Schemes and Questions.

Below are Links to Pages I have put together covering the Products or Services I Like. Look them over and see what you think. They all offer an Opportunity to earn by Marketing them. But I'm focusing on Retailing the Products or Services more then the Opportunity.
