Filed in archive Home Based Businesses by Sue Walsh on February 9, 2008

I recently did a search on Google Video for "homebased business" and was amazed at what saw. Every scam and "opportunity" you've ever heard of was there. Missed the infomercial? You could find it there. Over 1,000 videos promising amazing home based businesses and the chance to "make money fast". Unfortunately there is no such thing as making money fast, unless you win the lottery and become a millionaire overnight. Making a profit with your home based business takes lots of hard work and time. You have to sell your product or service and get the word out about your business. Any "opportunity" that promises you you will make thousands in no time in a scam. The only people making that kind of money are the scammer themselves. We'll examine some of these scams in depth in future articles.

Can you make good money with a home based business? Absolutely. Will you do so overnight? Not likely.

I agree totally with you, it is all down to hard work and getting it out there.

I like your comment on "unless you win the lottery" as the business I have joined earns me 55 of selling lottery tickets and also I get 4% share of any winning ticket bought from my business. But it is not "easy" and as we only get paid on sales we need to get it out there but its a massive market and a massive opportunity.

If anyone want is willing to work hard then I can show them the chance to make good money from the world's 2nd largest industry.

The thing is that most people are looking for the quick buck and willing to put in the work for the long term. And of course, these guys prey off of the get rich quick type of mindset.
