Finding a legitimate home based business opportunity isn’t always easy with all the hype and fluff that’s out there. However, there are a lot of great, legitimate opportunities and in this article I’m going to give you some tips on how to find them.How To Tell If A Home Based Business Is Legitimate or NotWhen you are looking for a home business opportunity, there are a couple of specific things to look for that will help you decide whether or not it’s legitimate. Those two things are the cost of the program or opportunity, and how much time is needed in order to succeed. Let’s start with the start up cost…If you did a search for home businesses on the Internet, you would be overwhelmed with the number of sketchy opportunities you’d find. There are pretty easy to spot too. Most of them with a start up cost in the $25-$50 price range, and all of them promising to make you thousands per month on auto-pilot. If come across an opportunity like this, run the other way.Don’t fall for these sales pitches: “New unique software generates $20,000 per month with only 3 clicks of your mouse, all on complete auto-pilot.” If you are looking for a legitimate home based business opportunity that can generate you a full time income from home, avoid low cost programs or opportunities with unrealistic claims. They may sound appealing but trust me they will just take your money.Another thing you should look for is how much time an opportunity claims you will need to work in order to be successful and earn an income. If you come across an opportunity that claims you only need to work 10 minutes per day or 3 hours per week, it’s probably not that legit.It does take hard work and dedication in order to be successful in the home based business industry. If you can’t, or aren’t willing to devote at least a couple of hours per day into your business, you are going to struggle. Any opportunity that tells you that you can be successful and make tons of money just pushing a few buttons, without doing any work, is not a legitimate home based business opportunity.
