Work from home businesses are growing ever year. Everyone wants to be their own boss. Not to be told what to do, take holidays whenever, start and finish work whenever and the list multiplies for each individual. There are millions of people stuck in jobs simply for the money.

Good or bad, but this thing, money, makes the world go round. But people are realising slowly that you have to start somewhere. And the most common tried technique is to work at home or at least try it from there.

So what can you do from home?

There are millions of opportunities to choose from, but which one would you choose? There is an unlimited supply of business opportunities to allow you to make a start from home. People and entrepreneurs are looking for a break or the 'perfect' work at home opportunity. A break from the corporate life, to be their own boss or simply to be more financially independent!

Or an opportunity that would release them from the many debt problems, which seem to build up month after month! That, something that would pay bills and make ends meet without difficulty. Something your normal 9 - 5 job just isn't doing well at. So where can you start in order to work at home?

Check Your Post (So Called Junk Mail)

This is probably the easiest of the lot. You don't need to search for a business opportunity as they're searching for you. Companies have you on a mailing list and every so often they would send you a new business opportunity. Now should you be grateful to these companies for doing so? That's gratefulness all boils down to experience.

What kind of problems can you come across...

HYPE...

• You can make xxxx amount...
• You'll be financially free within 3 years...
• Never worry about money again...
• If I can do it, so can you...
• Check out the our satisfied customers
• Reply with 48 hours to avoid disappointment...

Now here are some catches...

• If they claim you can make xxxx amount. then why isn't there any form of proof to show this? Why are there no bank statements to prove this?

• If you're to be financially free within 3 years, is this how long it took them? Have they considered your background and experience? Or are they giving an approximate guideline to

achieve this?

• Never worry about money again... they're taking money from your pocket in order for you to receive the material, so effectively you still need to worry.

• If I can do it, so can you... everyone is unique with personal wants and needs. Each person has different qualities and abilities.

• If you reply within 48 hours... does that mean you're guaranteed to receive the material. Or is that a technique to make more money quicker within 48 hours.

• The opportunity has never been available before and you are the first. Now look over couple of pages, you see a testimonial page of 25 people who have used the system?! Just a second ago, you were told that you are one of the first.

Testimonials are one of the most powerful marketing mediums in the direct mail industry and it works. It shows people what others have thought of the system and what kind of results they achieved.

Repeat Business (Backend Sales)

Now you are placed on more mailing lists and companies sell their mailing lists to others to make extra profit. So don't be surprised if 2 months later some other company sends you another opportunity or maybe even the same.

However as soon as you buy one, ultimately you will be sent another one soon.

How?

You're an 'active' buyer on a list. You have money to spend. So you'll be sent more...

Have you also noticed this?

Someone is selling someone else's stuff to make money! Person A is selling person B's material. What you'll get is an introduction letter of person A then the actual sales letter from Person B.

But Person B is the one who's 'probably' made the money, however what's in it for Person A. They make money from what they expose to you. (i.e. they make money if you buy Person B's material)

Now Person A would probably have never checked or tested Person B's system but are in the process of selling it to you, so make no mistake there.

Now that you are armed with this information you can become more cautious to what you are about to order. Is it hype or is it for real...?
