Ask this question yourself and you might find answer like: "Yes they are for real, and mine is the best! MakeMillionsWithoutLiftingAFinger.com" or maybe "No, they are all scams, except for this one 30k-A-DayInYourPJs.com." And who do you think is writing those answers?
All of this intentional confusion has given the impression that there are two types of businesses: "Real" ones, which require time, effort, and a significant up-front expense in order to become profitable, and "Home-based," or more often "web-based" ones where you can sit back, do nothing, and rake in money hand over fist. Most of the latter are dummy businesses set up by people trying to take your money and who will give you nothing in return. Those two businesses types overshadow everything in between.
Any business, whether it be a "real" business or one somebody starts from home or on the web need to be treated like businesses in order to succeed. After all, each must have a product or service for sale and consumers who want to buy that product or service.
Profit is only created when something is sold!
There are no magic businesses out there that will create a fortune for you just because you are so special!
Get real!
You don't walk into a car dealership and ask a salesperson: "Do you have any fast and reliable cars that are not "lemons?" Or do you?
Everyone knows there are hundreds of internet scam-artists out there just like they know there's a chance they might buy a lemon from a local dealer. Before you jump into a home-based business, do your research, just like you would when you're looking for a new car.
Yes, Internet based business has some unique features: low cost of manufacturing the product, low cost of delivering the product, potentially very large customer base, ability to delegate nearly a hundred percent of all the aspects of it, ability to set it on autopilot, but it is still a business that you have to run yourself and you need to know how to run it.
Businesses don't make money. The people who run them do.
How about a restaurant, or a laundromat, a car-wash, a day-care? Are any of them profitable businesses? Or, are they "scams?"
You make it profitable and you make it a disaster!
My experience has lead me to believe that I was born to be an internet marketer, but it's still hard work. There are no free handouts.
Ultimately, you need to figure out first if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, if you understand the consequences about being in charge and relying only on yourself - the risk is higher, but the reword is worth it!
Go read Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" first and see if you are even interested in becoming an entrepreneur.
Though you can make decent money working part time from home, don't expect to make millions if you're still holding down a fulltime job. Great success requires great commitment.
Forget all of the bad things you've heard about internet-based business and remember that they are just businesses like all of the rest. It's the people behind them that make them successful and that success takes effort and sacrifice. - 15431
