Guidelines for Finding Work at Home Jobs Part 3

Guidelines for finding Work at Home Jobs Part 3



Do you remember the main idea of Work at Home Part 2? If you said FOCUS you are right. Don't worry we aren't going to go over it again but, I just want to remind you that this is one of the most important things you must do when looking around the web. O.k. let's get down to business.

First things first. You really need to decide now how much you are willing to spend on any work at home opportunity, direct marketing company, and or anything else you find out there. Some people will tell you if you have to pay for it it's not a job. I happen to disagree. If you choose to get involved in, let's say Mary Kay you will have an initial sign up fee. When you do this you become and independent consultant of Mary Kay and essentially have your own business. And of course the obvious example would be a franchise. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that you should have to pay for a job but, you get the idea. My main point is set a limit and do it now! You will see why when you start looking around.

Your budget should include any cost in starting. Advertising, business cards, websites or domain names, product, etc. All of these things will cost you in the beginning and some of them will be necessary to get the results you desire.

An example breakdown might look like this:

Initial sign up fee: $25-200
(depending on what you are doing. Some direct marketing companies like Pampered Chef have larger sign up fees but, you do get products with that)

Business Cards: $10-50
(you can find some great deals online but, some companies will only let you use their logo through companies they have set up an account with)

Website or Domain Names: $10-50
(some companies will give you a website free and some will charge a monthly fee. You may want a domain name that is easier to remember and will have to purchase this)

Web store: $50-500
(you can get a complete store from places like E-bay and Amazon for a fee)

Additional Products: $0-100
(you may want to order some additional products to have on hand to show or sell)

These are just examples and you may need to spend more or less but, you need to be prepared from the start. Take the time to do this now and it will save you in the long run. Set your budget based on what you can afford because some of these costs you will not be able to get back if you change your mind about a program or company later (business cards, advertising, etc.). Once you have set up your budget you will be ready to get started.
