Does anyone really want a business they can work from home?

Question

My wife and I have a business that we work from home. It is selling great products, but the people who say they want to become associates don't want to put any effort into it. How do we find people who are serious about working at a business from home?

Answer 1

What are you selling and how much do you pay your associates. Is it one of those thing you have to invest money in and every one but me makes money.

Answer 2

I have searched for a work at home business and all I seem to find are bogus offers that want me to invest alot of money in order for someone else to make money.

I am a 40 year old mother of 8 (6 still at home), I attend college in the Fall and Spring semesters. My husband works out of the home and I stay with the children - this is a decision that we made long ago. I would love to find a work from home job that is for real - so if your company is legitimate, I have the effort and desire that it takes.

Answer 3

I also work a business from home. The only true leads that have ever panned out for me have been people I meet in person who are not afraid to set goals. There are TONS of people that want the money, but not very many that can actually envision themselves GETTING there. So it's really not worth it to invest in mailing lists, or even newspaper ads. It's all about person-to-person contact. Booths at craft/art shows, fairs, and the like are good because people approach you wondering what you offer. If you can offer them something they are looking for, like money for vacations, get them to set that goal and you're in!! Good luck!

Answer 4

I think people are getting burned out at a lot of the MLM's that have come along. Too many bad ones out there that are giving people bad experiences. I have found that most people are too busy making a living to get involved in home work plans. Too many hollow unobtainable promises get made to people. When they find it's not easy, they quit. I guess you could focus on non-employed people who have the start up capital. Best of luck

Answer 5

if your business requires people downline -- it will take time to find people interested. Many of those businesses (e.g., AMWAY) -- people don't like the prices of the products, or the problems they have finding people downline. It's a different type of selling. Sometimes people join because they feel pressured. Sometimes people want a business from home that they personally are interested in, but may not be interested in selling. etc.

Answer 6

I am going to be looking shortly to run a business from home, I was injured on the job and had a L4 - S1 spinal fusion that went terribly wrong and I'm worse now than before the surgery and disability benefits just won't cut it.

http://makemoney.yacam.altervista.org here you can find information and start your online marketing without one cent and no credit card require.
How does it work?
You can earn money by placing ads on your website or in your emails. For this there are various commission models. For instance your receive a commission if a sale is being made via your ad.


So, how do you get to take part?


Register
Apply for partnership with the partner-program of one or more merchants. The merchant will email you when your application has been accepted
After the successful application you place the html-code of an advertising media like a link or banner on your homepage or in your emails and can immediately earn commissions with it.

What are my earning options?




Your earnings are generated by:
View, pay per view - for the display of advertising materials (banner, logo, product image, text link)
Click, pay per click - when somebody clicks an advertising material
Lead, pay per lead - when you acquire a new customer
Sale, pay per sale - when you broker a sale
pay per lifetime - recurring sales commission (e.g., subscription renewal)
pay per period - a fixed fee which is calculated for an individually defined billing period (e.g., fixed monthly fee)


affiliate merchants can offer you a range of condition models, for example, €0.15 per click, €10 per lead and an additional 25% of the sale brokered. The visitors to whom the sales are being brokered have a period of 30 days to decide on their purchase. During this time, you are entitled to all leads and sales resulting from the visitor's activities.
Every merchant offers all four condition models (view, click, lead, sale). These may also be combined and allocated individually for each affiliate.

When and how will I be paid?




As a rule, only confirmed transactions will be paid out. Any pending transactions first need to be confirmed by the merchant in question. At the point of billing (end of the month), the confirmed transactions need to total €25 or higher (up to the payout limit) for a credit note to be generated. In "Profile" > "Account information" (login section), you can authorise this credit to be paid out before the 10th of the following month. For further details, see the question "How do I authorise payment of my credits?" below. All authorised credits are booked for payment on the 9th of each month. Even if you miss the deadline, you can still authorise the payment. In this case, the payment is booked in the next month. Bank transfers are the only payment method available within Germany. If the payout threshold is not reached at the end of the month or if you did not authorise the credit, your existing credit will be carried over to the next month.

Answer 8

well I was interested in alot of them and signed up for alot of them and then it turns out that the things that you have to do are either way to confusing or else they are not ligit and just want your money. I sent alot of money away to different companies and never got anything back from them. So that may be a big reason.

Answer 9
