Home Business Information

If you are like 80 % of the population you have either dreamed of working for yourself or actually tried some home based business opportunities at one time.

If you have tried working from home I commend you, even if your efforts were not successful at least you tried. I hope you do not give up. There are many ways to earn extra income from home. Unfortunately there are many scams out there promising you big money working from home.

If you have been burned by one of these so called get rich schemes I understand your reluctance to dive into another opportunity anytime soon. And those of you who have only dreamed of working from home but have not taken the first step because you do not know where to start, I understand your frustration as well.

First of all don’t get discouraged if you have tried and failed, I don’t mean to use an over worked cliché, but remember that Thomas Edison failed numerous times while trying to invent the light bulb. Just think if he gave up you might be reading this by candlelight. And it would not be on a computer, it would be scribbled on a piece of paper in pencil.

Make sure to learn from your mistakes, and go on. There are legitimate home-based businesses out there. I would recommend you stay away from the get rich quick schemes. A business takes effort as well as some investment in time and money.

Make sure you have a budget of funds and time available to put into your business. And stick to it.

Do some research in the opportunity you are interested in , don’t get roped into acting right away. Give it some thought and know whom you are dealing with. In other words CHECK IT OUT!!

I have tried some different opportunities over the years, some worked, some still are working for me, but some of them failed miserably. But I learned from my mistakes and kept on going and I am glad I did. I have made some good friends along the way who have helped me, and I have also made some money.

One of my favorite businesses is my Mystery Shopping Business. Here is a business that I work when I want, I pick the assignments I want, I never have to accept a shop I don’t want. I am an independent contractor for several companies, I have had many fee meals, hotel stays, car washes, visits to amusement parks, free coffees just to name a few perks. Besides getting all that for free, I also get paid for the shopping. This is a great way to make some extra cash and get tax deductions for the gas I use for the shops along with mileage expenses, and other business deductions.

I use this money as seed money to invest in other business ventures. It is an excellent way to raise the money it sometimes take to get things started in some other ventures. We sometimes wish we had a few extra bucks to try a small business venture and here is a great way to get that money without taking it away from our household budget.
