...legitimate home-based business requiring a VERY small investment? I started working with a company that is over 20 years old and rated satisfactory with the BBB. I have paid for some leads, enrolled friends and family but looking to expand and help others in need of extra income learn how to build their own home-based business. There are so many scams out there that I can not find a way to reach people about a legitimate work from home program. Any ideas?

Place ads online and in papers

Put out fliers (i.e. cheap advertisements) at places where there are a lot of people with at-home time. Maybe retirement homes, housewives (if there are any of those left), the unemployment office, etc.

people generally see ads for these businesses and just think "ya right." I'd suggest putting as much information as possible out there for them up front. don't make them ask or dig for it, because they won't make the effort to hear about (what they feel) is another scam.

too many people, too many schemes, too much disillusionment...good luck...

Because there are so many 'get rich quick' schemes out there, it is overwhelming to people who are actually looking to supplement their income with a home based business. I am in Direct Sales myself and have found that the best way to introduce someone to your business is to build a relationship with them. Networking on work at home sites, joining your Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and other organizations will get you out of your immediate circle of influence. Once you have someone's interest find out what they are looking for. Don't just sign people up to just see your numbers grow. Is it a good fit for them? Are they ready to do the work needed to really make a difference in their lives? Are they the type of person you are wanting to work with? Are you willing to train and help them get started?Also, be sure to spell out your company's fees, what it comes with, what the compensation plan is, the type of training and support available and what requirements a person has to acheive or maintain to experience success. So many on-line ads will direct you to a site that is full of hype and outrageous income claims, but nothing else. These type of ads just leave a bad taste in a person's mouth.Be honest, straight forward and get to know your prospects. If it is a company and a product you are truly passionate about, and you have a genuine interest to help others, it will happen. Best of luck to you!TrishiaExecutive Director & Passion Parties Independent Consultant
