Home Business Opportunities - Get An Education First

By Tom Jacobson

There are so many work at home opportunities advertised, so how do you sort out the scam from the real deal?

I want you to get an education as to what you are up against. There are so many opportunities listed and many are the here today, gone tomorrow scams. Case in point, go to Craigslist.org, a popular almost free advertising site. Now, pick a city off to the right. Next, go to the biz op section and scroll down through the listings. How do you know the scam from the real deal?

Here is what you do. Get the main name of the program, then go to any popular search engine, such as Google or Yahoo and enter that name in the search box with the word "scam" after it. You should get plenty of results if there are any unsatisfied members in the program or business.

I almost bought a software investment program once for thousands, when a friend of mine suggested I do this. There were so many unsatisfied customers and the FTC had several law suits against the company.

I love internet marketing. Done right, it works! I have personally joined many online business opportunities and most have been a bust, with some loosing and some making a couple hundred dollars.

After making a commitment to do it right, I have decided to get an education instead of looking for an opportunity. The opportunity can come later. Many successful internet marketers have taken the same approach with some making $1,000 and up a day.

If you do decide to jump in on the internet home biz revolution, try to go for those businesses or info products under $100 that offer a lot of value for the buck. Make sure it is well supported with tutorials, videos, and other resources in case your questions can't be answered in person.

Good luck in your quest for the work at home commute.
