Online Home Based Business
Several weeks ago I finally took the plunge into the world of network marketing. I had been running an online business for almost three years by then but knew that I would have to make the leap to network marketing at some point since it was such an obvious fit with Internet marketing. And I haven't been disappointed.One thing did surprise me though -- the number of people who approached me about my network marketing business, interested in running their businesses exclusively online, but with the mistaken belief that it would be somehow easier and less expensive than establishing and running a home-based business offline.Well, let me tell you, there's nothing easy or inexpensiveabout running a home-based business - online or off.
TheInternet is just a different way of going about it. And that's all.Here's my top 10 myths about running an online business(and in answer to the missing Myth#11, NO, you CANNOTrun a serious online business with WebTV - get a REALcomputer already).
MYTH#1 - It's Easy, Anyone Can Do ItFACT - It's not easy, by any stretch of the imagination,and no, you may not be able to do it.Reality is, establishing an Internet business is a long, slow,frustrating process. Your first attempt at creating yourown web site will be an abomination. You'll look back at it in 12 months and shudder. I know I did.You'll feel utterly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information you need to absorb.
And the fact that six different "experts" each tell you six different things doesn't help. (There are no "experts", by the way, just a lot of people with a lot of opinions. Bottom line? Do whatworks. For you.)
