How To Spot A Good Home Business

By Russell Howe


Thousands of people scour the internet every day trying to find the best home based business and affiliate program to get involved with. Making money online is now a popular choice among people looking to bolster their monthly income in their spare time.

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.

There is a set of unwritten rules in the world of business. If you are able to tick all of the boxes then the chances are you're going to get some positive results.

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?

The list above shows the five questions you should ask yourself before you get involved in any business venture. It doesn't matter whether it is internet based or if you are trying to open a store in your local high street. If you get a negative answer to any of the questions featured on the list you should not pursue the opportunity.

The check list above will generally tell you if a program is designed for long term results or if you should expect it to be a fly-by-night story. As an affiliate you need to find something you can work with for longer than three months at a time, otherwise you'll be constantly starting from scratch and trying to establish yourself all over again.

A huge part of becoming your own boss is the mental test it puts you through. It's like nothing you have ever encountered before and most people are not ready for it. If you answered questions three, four and five without any problems that's a good indication you are ready.

Most people fail to make money online because they aren't serious enough. There is nothing stopping you, but you need to be ready to pull out all the stops to ensure your own success. Setting a long term goal is a great place to start. Every day from that point you need to move closer to achieving your goal.

In order to ensure that doesn't happen to you, we'd recommend paying special attention to the last question above. As anyone who has created their own business will tell you, it is very time consuming. You are not going to see miracle results and you will face times when you feel as if you aren't getting anywhere. That's life, folks.

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.

When you do find an affiliate program which manages to tick all of the boxes in today's list of rules you will know you have found the best home based business program for you. The choice out there is huge, so take your time and use the list of rules to help you make the best decision for yourself.
