If you have been doing home business for sometime, or have been seeing the ‘work at home’ advertisements in newspapers, you must have come across advertisements like ‘Data entry job. Earn high income part time. Call Mr. XXX for details!’ Hmm, do you know that these data entry jobs are more often than not scams? Still I wonder why people fall for this even though chances are that they know that it is a scam. Well, there are reasons for that.
If you think people fall for scams just because they are lazy or stupid, think again! The success of these ‘data entry jobs’ is an indication of the type of culture we live in; and no, it has very little to do with our being lazy or stupid. Following are the three reasons why scam websites come up everyday, and worse, they succeed in fleecing off the innocent people.
Most people suffer from one common bad habit-they don’t want to spend time looking for a legitimate home buses opportunity. Once they see one of those ads that promise them the moon, they think that have got the right business opportunity to jump in! But the truth you need to know is- if you don’t want to get scammed like others then the only way is to spend time in finding a good business company which has years of reputation and credibility. In fact, it might take more time for you to find a legitimate business opportunity than working for it. But if you are not willing to spend time on it then forget doing home business, unless of course, you’ve got a mentor to help you on this.
Most people, when they start their home business, don’t want to accept the fact that a home business owner is essentially a small business owner. As such they have got all the responsibilities that go with being a business owner-managing projects, paying outstanding bills, taxes, etc. Most people don’t even want to calculate the annual taxes they are required to pay to the government.
You really need to get organized if you want to be successful in home business. If you don’t want to accept the responsibilities that come with being a businessman, then I suggest you find yourself a regular dead-end job and forget about working from home.
Most people think that having a home business will solve many of their problems. Working from home will enable them to spend more time with their families and help them make flexible working schedules. Well, this is true only when you have built a successful home business an have hired employees to do all the hard work. But in the initial stages, when you are just starting your home business and you would need to do all the grunt work yourself (unless, of course, you are born to a wealthy family),expect to work for long hours and late nights. There will come times when you would not even get time for sleep! I am telling this not to scare you away but to bring you face to face with the truth of which you are perhaps unaware. Also don’t expect paychecks to come in regularly every month like what used to happen with your regular job salary. Like agriculture, there are ‘lean’ and ‘harvesting’ seasons in home business too. There are times when you will make windfall profits and there will be times when you would make nothing at all. When I was just stating a home business I would make a lot of income during Christmas but would make little or nothing for the rest of the year. This didn’t mean that that I was exempted from my regular monthly expenses. I had to pay my electricity bills, phone bills, etc. with whatever little was left in my bank. Bottom line is that if you cannot adjust yourself with the vagaries of business weather and would like to have regular monthly paychecks, then perhaps you need to go for a regular job instead of dreaming of working from home.
Now while I can’t help you with all the three problems, I can certainly help you with the first one- helping you find legitimate business opportunities If you don’t know where and how you can find legitimate and lucrative home business opportunities, [adrotate banner=”37″]
