Home Business Ideas and What is New Out There
Home
Business Ideas: Freshness is Part of My Research
By Kelly Land, © 2005 - 2010, All rights reserved.
I love the idea of a home business--don't you? I like the camaraderie of sharing ideas
and suggestions and slow biz blues with other reps in the same company.
I like the idea of sharing the home business idea with others, and building a team of
fun-loving, confident people--that love what they do.
There are SO many wonderful companies out there that allow you to start your own
home business. Sure--they almost always charge a start-up fee for your kit --
but it's a business! Are they supposed to hand you over $200 in merchandise and
supplies just for the heck of it? I don't see McDonald's GIVING away franchises.
So get over your...."I don't feel like I should have to pay anything to work for
someone" attitude. You're not working for someone--you're starting your OWN
business! Good grief!
I've done a few home businesses.....all of the
Direct Sales nature. Some
suited me--some just ...well--didn't. When I was younger--I was eager to try
anything. But now, especially since I know the home business market so well--and
research it for a living--I am VERY picky. Extremely picky. I weigh the start-up
cost with what I get in the kit. I look at the comp plan, the quotas, the
product and the time commitment. I check the companies track record, their
fiscal record. I contact the home office and chat with a REAL person. I ask them
any question my heart desires that I feel may be a hurdle or that I want to know
more about. I talk to other reps that are currently doing the business. I look
for the "freshness" of a company. I like "freshness". I see a lot of companies
out there that just seem so over-saturated. I like newer companies --but that's
just my preference. I like the hint of willy-nilly when you work with a newer
company. I like that I was here long before Rep #1032257. The synergy and
dynamics always make me feel younger.....daring....and a lot of times --it's
good to get in on the ground floor!
For the last year or so I've REALLY been looking for something in the home
business arena. Nothing has sparked my interest very much. Nothing I felt warm
and fussy about and eager to know more. I've received several emails from
visitors and subscribers asking..."So Kelly--what's new this year for home
businesses?? What
business has caught your attention?"
Well...hate to say it....but nothing is really bowling me over out there. But I
keep looking!
The REAL key to success..... is finding something YOU love. It's taken
me awhile to learn that there is a difference between being eager to work at
home and being truly excited about a company and it's products and wanting to
share it with others. So when and if you are looking--be sure to write down
exactly what you want--your ideal and go from there. When you find something
that excites you--run down the pros and cons. Do your homework.
In the end--the heart usually wins--but maybe it's because the mind is satisfied
with the knowledge it's obtained. It reminds me of Cinderella and the glass
slipper. Finding what fits.
Home business that I currently do that contributes over $250 to my monthly
income each month is Procard International.
Procard is a benefits
program that can help people just like you and I receive a discount on
prescriptions, physician visits, dental visits and vision appointments. It is
NOT insurance - but a discount card that can be used at participating providers.
I am a Referral Rewards Rep for Procard and work 100% on the Net!
I've been with them for MANY years now, since 2003.
I've done other businesses in the past. Lots of them. Avon, Southern Living at
Home, Tastefully Simple, Taste of Home Entertaining, At Home America, Melaleuca
(The Mom Team)......none of them ever really fit my style like Procard. I like
that it's 100% on the internet and that I don't have to have home parties.
You're still promoting a service and an opportunity.....but it's much easier in
my opinion. That doesn't mean I won't ever join another direct sales type
business....on the contrary - I think they are a great way to make money from
home.
I've also been an Avon Rep for years. I love
selling Avon. I use their products -
so it's great getting a discount too!
These companies have been around for a long time. They've got wonderful
reputations and I've always been happy with what they offer, my income earnings
and being able to do the work from home.
That doesn't mean that if a new company pops up tomorrow I won't jump on it. I
don't think it's good to count on just ONE way to bring in money when you work
at home. So I stick with my tired and true companies and I keep an eye out for
other ventures that might be another piece to my work at home "puzzle".
So keep your eye out as well. Even if you have a home business you're already
doing and love....it doesn't mean that you can't add another stream of income to
it!
