Work From Home
The use of the word legitimate in the title of this article is worth talking about.
When someone is trying to find a legitimate work at home business what are they really looking for?
Without looking it up (I’m far too lazy to do that) the word legitimate stems from being born to married parents. In the old days if you were born in wedlock you were considered legitimate, otherwise you were a bastard!
These days the word is also taken to mean acceptable in a broader sense.
Hence a legitimate work from home opportunity could be anything that is legal.
But is this what we are after when we try to find a legitimate home based business?
My thoughts are that people really mean something like:
“Is this a real business that I, with my experience, can do? Or if I don’t have the skills can I learn easily enough? Or is this a scam that is going to suck me in and result in me being taken to the cleaners?”
As Shakespeare might have said:
“To risk or not to risk: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous wages,
Or to work from home against all odds,
And by so doing end poverty?………
To work: perchance to make a fortune:
ay, there’s the rub;”
(With apologies to William!)
If you are out to find a legitimate work from home opportunity the best advice is to find out as much as you can before you start. And do it properly – do not take any short cuts.
One of the most neglected areas of research is market feedback. Many a business is started with a service and then the market is expected to spend money on it. This is not the right way of starting a new work from home business.
It is far better to find the market, find out what they are buying and then give it to them.
You may love pies but that does not mean everyone in the suburb will buy from your pie shop!
Look for a unique point of difference or niche; consider seasons and crazes, current events and yearly occurrences. Don’t just follow the crowd. Swimming against the current can be difficult at times but is often the most rewarding.
Fill a gap (that pie shop may be a good idea after all!)
Have an open mind and don’t make any judgments until you have all the information.
Please do not rush into anything; the opportunity of a life time comes up twice a week!
It’s not that hard to find a legitimate home based business that suits you, remember the aim is to find something that will provide you with a life style you want and are happy with.
