How do I find people willing to join a legitimate home-based business requiring a VERY small investment?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

There are many legit home based businesses; however, the key actually is will they make you money and that all depends on the compensation plan for each company. I wrote a blog on advice for working from home and invite you to read it. It is NOT a commercial for anything I do, just some straight facts and things you should look for, ask, search out on your own, etc... BEFORE jumping into anything. You can find a link in the 2nd paragraph of my profile here on answers. Also, you will find a link to "The MLM Legality Test" - VERY important that you understand what is legal and what is not. If you need help, just holler. ~best wishes to you ~jennifer Helping others create income from home through education of the system and how it really works. PS: and just a side thought - most programs that are FREE - do not pay out and eventually cost you something... so please don't let the word FREE sucker you.

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!

I also am with a similar business and have recently purchased leads from a website that looked legit. they have still not sent me any leads after a month. They will not answer the phone when I call and will not return an email. the name of the opt in leads website to look out for is www.therighthomebiz4you.com BEWARE

Answer 5

I have been associated with two fuel additive companies and those were the first two I lost all credability with my friends so I know, lately, there have been more scams than the last 30 years l have been in network marketing.
My latest MLM company is strictly electronic information and affiliate marketing. All electronic transfers, which is instant with not product to ship. We do have several double opt in mail services that are MLM contacts and they seem to be very targeted and clean and interested in internet opportunities. There are several so if you want some sources, e-mail me.

Advertise!!! It is all about meeting the needs of your customers. If there is a person out there that is looking for what you are offering and it is a win-win relationship. Then they will invest. But patience is key. No business happens over night. E-mail CheapPlaneAndCruiseTickets.com to tell you what I am doing if it can help you.

Answer 7

write a short report which really defines and
shows how your business is really legitimate.

Yes write the report and convert into PDF.
and distribute free and capture the leads
from the site offering free download.

Then follow up!!!!

Do not forget to tell the reader in the report
WIIIFM (what is in it for me!),
Yeah there are many scams but
if your is legitimate i bet people will love this.

Post free ads on www.craigslist.org too in

I recommend you register with the Business Opportunity Search Engine. Being community driven it’s a cross between a search engine and a Wikipedia. You can add, delete and improve the results for much more focused answers than a general search engine can provide. http://www.BusinessOpportunitySearchEngine.com

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

Place ads online and in papers
