What is a good "work from home" business?
Asked by SandyBank
I recently lost my job as a sales rep. I want to find something that I can do from home. Maybe with selling involved. Not stuffing envelopes. I like working with people.

Best Answer:
Sounds like you should check out a Network Marketing Business, but most are expensive to join. I seen one at mysecuredsuccess that is letting people join Roadmap to Riches for only almost nothing.

I started a home based business that has allowed me to replace my part-time nursing income. The products are awesome and the company is just starting it's global expansion. The company has been around for a 27 years but they have just started to experience some incredible growth (averaging 100% each year for the previous 5 years). If you want more details let me know. I can't leave the information here or my answer will get report (even though your asking for the information).

I have been working from my home for the last 8 years here in Canada, USA and Europe as well. The very best 'work from home business' is the business of your own. That can be accomplished much easier than most people think. In order to seriously discuss your options you would have to contact me directly. P.S. And whatever you decide to do, please do not fall for countless offers to join this or that business for $19.95 or discounted from $99.95 to just $45.00 for a limited time only. Should it be so appealing to you anyway, ask those who offer it to you for their own direct proof of income for at least 1 full year. True income -- after expenses, before taxes and the time spent every day doing it. You are in for a surprise!

The best way that I have found to work from home, is a company called Pure Romance. We are an in home party plan that caters to women. I get to make a full time income on just 6 hours a week (3 hours away from home, 1 night per week), but you can work more or less depending on your needs. I have been with Pure Romance for 2 years now & I love my job! I get paid to party! You get to laugh and tell stories. Best of all, you make up to $200 an hour! Can't beat that. I'd love to chat with you about if Pure Romance could work in your life. I have helped lots of women achieve their career goals with this company. Please visit my website for more information, including my phone number if you want to call me with questions.

Can you sell a transportation concept. And all following transportation packages. I need a front person to get things moving. Whenever I am at a meeting I am the answers guy but not the smoozer. This is the project; t's well known that work centers do not coincide with residential areas, but can be used to an advantage in creating subscription services to people who for real financial reasons need a more economical path to and from work. By utilizing multiple database sources from separate government agencies it is possible to reshape the methods in which we serve people from all possible commute schedules in getting them an economical ride to and from work. The reality on the roads is that transportation will never be less expensive in fact it will probably escalate in cost. I have a comprehensive plan to create "Community Transportation Systems Packages" 508 735 8044, al

I am a member of Roadmap to Riches like SumUnknown mentioned above. I average about $5000 per month from that business alone. I checked out the site that he posted and I am surprised at the price they have it for. The training materials you get from that company are worth more than that price.

You are probably receiving a lot of information about possible work from home jobs. I have been in your shoes and have spent many hours online researching and trying to find the right one. There are many work from home “opportunities.” These opportunities provide you with the vehicle to work from home and build your own business. The difficult or frustrating part about finding the right opportunity is that there are many offers that are not legitimate, but scams. Theses scams make it difficult for the companies that truly offer a legitimate opportunity to work from home. Usually, work from home opportunities have a small investment to start your own business. These are okay as long as they are around $100, anything much more than that and I would stay away. Also if they require a monthly overhead to run the business it should include things like your websites, training, back office system, and support. Remember any business that you start and want to continue will always have start up costs and monthly expenses, if it doesn't then it is probably not a legit business. I am a stay at home mother of 2 (ages 4 and 2). My husband works 6 days a week and I do not have much help in the area of child care for my children. On my journey to finding the right work from home opportunity I tried everything from selling vitamins, lotions and many other product based companies. I also looked into processing information online. What I realized with all these companies is that I usually put more money back into my business and ended up with lots of product I really did not need. I also was very skeptical of some of those online work from home websites that really never got to the point of what I would be doing to earn income. Finally, I was given information on a legitimate work from home company. At first I was very skeptical and paid no attention to the information. Then one day my mother needed to have some dental work done but had no insurance. I remembered that I had some information on discount dental plans. Once I researched the information I had been given, I realized that I could provide my mother with a way to pay less for her procedure and earn an income for signing her onto the discount dental plan. I have been with the company since and am on the fast track toward building a residual income. I work 15 hours a week (give or take a few) for a National Discount Medical Benefits Company. The company has been in business for over 16 years and is continuing to expand! We have been featured on "60 minutes", "The New York Times", "Wall Street Journal", "Time Magazine", and "American Medical Review" as one of the most reputable, legitimate home based companies. We are members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance, which we are also a part of their membership. Our company addresses the number one problem in US, which is that 70% of Americans can't afford or can't get health insurance for whatever reason. We are an alternative for people who are suffering with their health because of this issue. Now to work for our company you don't have to know everything there is to know about Health Care. Our company will train you on how to communicate our services to those who need it. We have over 2 million members that use our plans and save money on their health care. When you work for the company you are able to set your own hours and build a residual income while you work. Because we get paid month after month, year after year for the work we do our income is always increasing and we get paid even when we don’t work. The company also does not enforce a monthly quota, which was important to me. I wanted to have the flexibility to work when I wanted and how much I wanted. Of course the more you put into your business the more income you will receive. Some of the benefits we offer are 401k, direct deposit, life insurance and a family benefit package for your entire household. The next best thing is there is no cold calling, telemarketing, stocking of inventory, collecting of payments, and no home parties! This was very important to me as I had the child care issue to deal with and wanted to be able to stay home and work without having to leave my house. Another great thing about our company is that we all work together to as a team. We are not out to compete with our fellow representatives. Whenever I need advice my team is there to help me to be a success. This was also very important as I was new to the business and wanted the team support you get working a 9-5 job without having to work the 9-5 job. I have also made many friends along the way and still have the interaction with adults while taking care of my children at home. I guess I could go on and on about what we do and how we get paid, but the best thing for you to do is research the company for yourself and determine if it is right for you.

Our business takes the principles you observed in “The Secret” (The Law of Attraction) and you learn how to apply this on a daily basis, hour by hour, minute by minute. This home business has proven itself in North America for 7 years. Launched in Australian & New Zealand earlier this year. This really is the opportunity of a lifetime. Proven overseas, stable, thriving and brand new here. (NOT MLM) . Also recommend that you have a min of 3 hours per day to invest in your business. (I work a maximum of 25 hours per week) .
