All over the internet you see people looking for a home-based business. Why? Because they want a business where they can work from home. There are usually four categories for a home-based business:

1. You join a network marketing company.

2. You have your own business something that you, yourself are doing on your own.

3. You join an affiliate marketing business (yes there are affiliate marketing/home-based businesses).

4.  Internet marketing businesses (these usually include selling a system or digital products).

You have to figure out what kind of business that you would like to do. If you don't have any ideas of your own, then you will more than likely join a network marketing company or an affiliate marketing company. If you are not quite sure which one is the best fit for you. You will want to read,"Which Is Better? Network Marketing Or Affiliate Marketing?"  After, you have figured out which one is best for you. Then, you want to start looking for companies that you would like to join. There are a whole lot of companies and I mean a whole lot. So, you want to take your time when you start looking. It's best to go with something that you like to do. If you like scented candles then you would go with a company that sells scented candles. The opportunities are endless. It probably won't be too hard for you to find something that you like.

Where can you find these home-based businesses?

•  Facebook Groups
• Work From Home Forums
• Safelists
• Freeadboards

These are places that people are either discussing home-based businesses or trying to get help with one. Also, people are advertising their home-based businesses. In the forums and groups you can ask questions and tell people what you are looking for. This way, you won't have to sort through a whole bunch of business opportunities that you have no interest in.

What questions should you ask regarding a home-based business

• How much does it cost?
• What are the requirements to join?
• Will I be on an autoship?
• Will I be joining a team or working on my own?

These are just some basic questions that you can ask. It's important to find out everything up front if possible. This way, you won't have any misunderstandings. Asking the right questions will help you be able to make better informed decisions. Many people make this mistake. I don't want you to be one of them.

Don't be pressured into joining

Don't feel as if you are obligated to join if the business is not right for you. Sometimes when you ask people they want people to join them in the business so they may come off very head-strong. You too, have to stand your ground as well. If you ask all the right questions and the business is not right for you. Just tell them that. That's all you have to say. You don't have to go into details why you don't want to join. Sometimes things are just not a right fit at the moment or maybe you just flat out aren't interested.

How do you know if you have found the right business?

You will know if you have no reason not to join. If you like the product or service. It's something that you can use and know other people who would like to use it. Money is not a problem for you if you join. If you have found the right business I encourage you to go ahead and join. Don't keep making excuses. Sometimes, if we wait the excuses will set in. We don't want this to happen. Go ahead and jump in with both feet. You can do this! There are places as I mentioned before such as forums and communities where you can get support.

Can you recommend some home-based businesses?

I sure can. These are home-based business/affiliate marketing businesses. There is no cost to join but you can order business cards and they do offer things such as banners and links to help you promote the products.
