Is It Impossible To Make Money From Home?

By Russ Howe


The online business world is approaching saturation these days with new opportunities popping up by the day. But while many people are attracted to the potential riches of programs like Empower Network one question burns deeper than any others. Is it actually possible to make an income from home, or is everything online just a quick scam?

The main problem with online business is that the industry has given itself an absolutely terrible reputation. There is so much misleading information out there that regular people often believe it to be impossible to get anywhere.

There is a way to tell if the business you are looking at is genuine or just a fly-by-night scheme. The following checklist will help you to do this:

1) If a company is approved by the FTC it is genuine.

2) Usually they will also be a member of the DSA.

3) Look for the Better Internet Bureau logo on the company website. If they have been approved it means the BiB have taken a look at their payment method and safety.

4) Look at the products before you do anything with the business.

Number 4 is a very important tip. Many people are sucked into opportunities by the sheer excitement and promise of an easy life, with money generating on autopilot. Ask anyone who has become their own boss and you'll be told it is nothing like that.

While it's nice to see how much potential income you could generate you must realize that without a solid product you can not expect to do so if the product is weak and unattractive.

The first sign of a bad home business program is a company who provides a fairly useless or overpriced product purely as a means to keep their business legal.

How are you expected to 'sell' a business to others knowing you could buy better quality products for less cost elsewhere? You're not. And they know this. But the promise of a mega affiliate plan is often enough to tempt you at least for a couple of months before you realize.

Your own determination to work for yourself will go a long way to decide how far you go. Once you have found a genuine opportunity there is a much bigger decision to be made. Empower Network is a proven company yet you would need to decide for yourself if you believe it fits your personality and provides services you actually enjoy using. If somebody told you that you could potentially change your life with a decision you would take all the time in the world to ensure it was right, so take that concept into a home business.
