The Get Rich Quick Myth Of Home Businesses

By Russell Howe


If you take a look at the internet marketing industry you will be able to see tens of thousands of people trying to find the best home based business to join every day. The sad fact is, however, most of those businesses are saying increasingly misleading things in order to get affiliates to represent their brand over the competition.

Indeed, the 'get rich quick' promises you often hear about from opportunities looking to sign you up are very misleading.

With more than 80% of MLM companies going out of business within their first year, it's not uncommon for them to resort to literally saying anything to persuade people to join their opportunity instead of a rival company. Nowadays, it seems every new opportunity takes this course of action in a desperate stampede for survival with just a handful of them, like Avon and Global Domains International, lasting the course.

You're going to see so much hype surrounding every online business opportunity that you might find it hard to see the information you're actually looking for. It can lead to people getting the wrong idea of how this all works.

In order to succeed you really need to lose that expectation of easy results. Just because it's online doesn't means it's simple. In fact, everybody who adopts that approach fails.

Despite all of the marketing hype, you are not going to land a lifelong income by getting in at at the ground floor of a brand new MLM opportunity. Look at the facts. The only people saying otherwise are the opportunities themselves.

Common sense can get you quite far on the road to success. Before you can start any business, you need a business plan. Take the time to create one and treat your venture with the serious attitude it's going to require in order to achieve results. This will question your motives and help you to see if you really want it as badly as you say you do.

By creating a business plan you will be able to answer these important questions and get the ball rolling in the right direction. You'll also need to decide just how much time you have available to put into your business every single day. If you only have ten minutes, is it really worth it?

If the affiliate program you work with is solid and trusted, you'll be surprised how far you can get using plain old common sense and a good business mentality. So many people fail in internet business opportunities because they aren't looking for a legitimate way to build an income, they are looking for a winning lottery ticket.

The best home based business is one which enables you to truly do something you love for a living. That might be different from one person to the next but one thing remains the same. In order to achieve success with it, no matter what opportunity it may be, you will need to work very hard.
