Home Based Business Or Lottery Ticket?
By Jeff Pritchard |
Since I have a website that shows people a sane and reliable way to build a
small business from home in their spare time, I have to do a lot of research in
this area. I'm consistently appalled by what passes for a "business opportunity"
on the web these days. "Earn $30,000 per month without lifting a finger", "For
just $99 we will set you up with a complete business that runs itself!". It's
really sad, but many many people fall victim to these scams and either wind up
giving up on the idea of starting a real business at home, or at the very least
loose some money and delay any possibility of success.
It seems like it
would almost be more honest for the web page at the other end of these bogus
claims to be a page selling lottery tickets. I've got nothing against lottery
tickets. You pay your money and you take your chances. Your chances are not very
good, but then, the ticket doesn't cost much either. With a lottery ticket at
least you do have SOME chance of winning the big bucks. With the vast majority
of sites claiming to have a "business opportunity" to sell you, the "ticket
price" is much higher and there is literally no chance whatsoever that you will
make any decent money.
How can you tell the fakes and frauds from the
real thing? It's actually quite simple. Do you remember the line from "The
Matrix"..."There is no spoon". Well, this is similar..."There is no money tree".
Get that straight, and everything else falls into place. Does this website make
claims that amount to trying to sell you a money tree? Could you easily
translate their catch line into "send us some money and we will give you
something that pays you thousands of dollars a month"? No mention of any work on
your part. You just sit around and sip exotic drinks by the pool while the money
rolls in. Never existed, never will. If somebody did own an orchard full of
money trees, you would never hear about it. Why would he want to sell you
one?
Now that I've painted such a dreary picture of your chances for home
based business success, I need to tell you that people can and do make money
from home grown businesses. But they have to work at it. It takes work to build
a real business. It takes work and know-how. On my site, I bust wide open the
myths of this industry and provide all the know-how you need to build a real and
profitable and sustainable business from home in your spare time.
If that
sounds like too much work...there is always the lottery.
