Listen. If you are out of state, and you are looking for a legitiate homebased business, you have to ask what kind of business you want to do. Do you want to market on the internet? Do you want to do MLM? Do you want to do real estate? These are all legitimate questions. Since my background is in MLM, that is all I can advise you on with confidence. If you are looking for a home based business in MLM or network marketing, you have to look into several things.
1. First thing you want to do is see if a specific opportunity is licensed to work in your specific area. A great place to start is google.com or yahoo.com and place in the words home based business. There will be plenty of home based businesses that catch you eye. Sign up to some of their mailing list for more info, and save the ones you really like to your favorites.

2. Next, Chances are you will be forwarded to a sight that will tempt you to buy, or someone will call you, and tery to get you involved in their opportunity. Resist all temptaion and DO NOT SIGN UP ON THE SPOT. Even if every bone in your body tells you to, you will want to check with either the FTC, or the Better Business Bureau to see whether or not they are legitimate. Another great place to check is with mlmwatchdog.com. They specialize in letting people know what is or is not a scam in this specific industry. Trust me, the opportunity will still be there after you do your research. Also, if a person tries to pressure you into an opportunity or a buy, without saying it is a good idea to research, then there is a chance it my be a scam.

3. Then, you are going to want to check on how a specific team builds their business. You want to make sure that they have a system that you would be comfortable with. If they are not willing to show you exactly how they build their business, or they say their system is “top secret” you DO NOT want to work with them (chances are they will make you build a list of friends and family, and work from there). While there is nothing wrong with speaking to friends and family, I have found that it can be very difficult to build a massive downline using this method alone. So, you want to be sure their marketing system make since to you, and you feel confident that you can make money using this system.

4. Ask if there are any additional cost in doing the business. Remember, you do NOT want to join an opportunity that will be to expensive for you to market.

Opportunities I would stay away form:

a. Groundfloor opportunities: These are usually the most unstable of opportunities to join. you want to join something that has been around for a few years, and has gained some sort of credibility in the field. Some guys will claim that you will not be able to build a good business in an older company, and that you need to get on before the business explodes. THAT IS A HUGE CROCK OF BULL. There is no difference in marketing an older opportunity then there is marketing a younger, accept for the fact that you have a chance to check their credibility. I would recommend a company that has been around for at least 8 years, and has some experienced people who can coach you on what to do to be successful.

b. Opportunities with no address or phone number on their home page: This should be a huge red flag here. If you cannot contact the corporate office, there is a good chance these people are not who they say they are.

c. Opportunities that say that you have to do no work: If there is no work involved on you part, then why do they need you? THIS SHOULD BE A HUGE RED FLAG.

d. Opportunities that offer you instant riches(example: $100,000 dollars in one week): These are often referred to as get rich schemes. These are always scams, and you should stay away from them. Business is a systematic process that requires time patience and consistency to get a sizable income. Now, it is very possible in any industry to make several hundred, and even is some rare cases several thousand dollars in a few weeks, depending on you learning curve, but, keep in mind, you want to be wary of any outlandish figures that are thrown out there. Remeber, chances are, if it sounds to good to be true, most of the time it is. A good way to prevent this is to get something in writing, or ask to speak to other individuals within a persons immediate organization who has no reason to lie about their success in the opprtunity.

I know that this is a lot, and chances are, after my posting a ton of people will try to solicit their opportunities to you. Check them out if you want, and if you have any questions shoot me an e-mail at. Listen, I don’t claim to have all the answers, (because I don’t have them lol) However, if I can help you out, I will do what I can. Good Luck!!
