Anatomy Of An Ideal Internet Work At Home

by Paul Johnson

I’ve spent the last 5-6 years creating ebooks, newsletters and other materials on how to create viable work at home business opportunities.

During this time, I’ve had ample opportunity to consider what makes for an ideal home-based business. Here are the qualities you should be looking for:

1. Answers To Your Questions Right From The Start

2. Answers To Your Questions Once You Get Started

3. A Big Ticket/High Profit Product Or Service

4. Lots of Quality Testimonials

5. Good Delivery, Follow-Through & Communication

First, you need answers to your questions about the home business opportunity. At the risk of sounding old-fashioned, you should be able to talk to a real live human being--even if it’s an internet-based business!

Often, websites offer an “FAQ” section. But does it answer all of your questions? If not, is there a way to talk to a live person? There should be! Too many companies rely on an email system that forces you to wait days to get answers. If this is all that is provided, you might want to forget about it.

The next thing is to get answers to your questions once you get started. Is there someone who can mentor you along? Someone who has “been there and done that” and can show you the ropes? If not—once again— you might want to pass on it.

You also want a high-profit/big-ticket kind of service or item to sell. You can sell a lot of $19.95 widgets, but how many will it take to make your work at home opportunity worthwhile?

The internet is a huge marketplace. But it’s all about traffic. And if you don’t have a desirable enough product with high profit potential, you’re going to spend too much money in return for too little income in return

It’s no wonder that probably the most viable of all home business opportunities is—you guessed it— offering people a viable home business opportunity! There’s no end to the number of people searching for a first or second income that will allow them to pay their bills and still have plenty of money left over to enjoy a quality life.

Also, look for ample testimonials—preferably stated in dollars and cents! If there are enough of them, and your instincts are telling you that this is for real, it could very well be.

But don’t stop there! Even once you’re in the business, you should continue to do your “due diligence.” How are others doing? If you keep getting good feedback from other business owners, you are probably on the right track. If not, it might not be too late to cut your losses, get your money back and look for a better opportunity.

Finally, you want a company that delivers on their promises to you and to the customer. This is the hallmark of great companies. Another way that quality companies “follow-through” is by keeping you informed of what’s going on. Good companies communicate well, and like to make you feel a part of something that is worthwhile.

I’ve recently done a lot of research into “passive income businesses.” A select few of them seem to offer the kind of answers, high profit opportunities, testimonials and follow-through that I’ve been talking about. But make sure it meets the above criteria. If it does, you just might have found yourself the ideal work at home business!
