Searching Work-at-Home Opportunities

Finding the right work-at-home opportunity for you can too often be compared with finding a good partner. Sometimes you have to go through an awful lot of garbage to get to the tasty treat.

Some questions for your consideration:

what can you do?
• what do you like to do?
• what do you hate to do?
• have you really researched the offer?, or
• are you grabbing the first thing that comes along?
• how much time do you have to do it in?
• do you need instant gratification?, or
• can you proceed step by step towards success?
• how much money do you have to invest in the program?
• do you have all the information on the program? or
• will you find yourself having to pay for advertising and mailing lists;
• do you know the downside as well as the upside
?

Merchandise sites which don't require you to stock anything, but only to sell and keep the profit (hopefully there will be one - not guaranteed) will almost always require additional advertising costs (how else will anyone know to buy it from you) or additional costs for mailing lists (for the same reason). And - when you buy mailing lists you'll usually have some auto-responder costs. If you go that way - make absolutely sure -in advance- that all shipping costs will be paid by the final purchaser, or you could find yourself being billed for them.

If you go the auction and resell route, you will have similar problems to resolve. Because there is a buyer out there for almost everything, the bidding, or auction sites do offer chances to make some money. You will, of course, have some of the same advertising or e-mail costs in addition to your initial investment and the cost of the merchandise you have bought.
It can happen big, or it may not happen at all, at least until you get lucky and find a buyer.

Research the work-at-home program as carefully as you can. It could help you keep, or get the right partner.
