Time To Make A Choice About Starting Up Your Own Home Business

"If you have always done it that way, it is probably wrong." ~

How many times have you wanted to smack your supervisor right in the mouth because they decided that you need to stay late and finish a project? How many times have you wanted to your job and not return without any worries? Well, if you are like everyone else in the world, the answers to those questions would in all probability come close to being each and every day. Working from a home office is a blessing for some and a curse for others. The fact is that there is nothing quite as good as being your own boss. Working for yourself is one of the all-time most beneficial things you can ever do in your life. There is nothing comparable to the feeling you get of knowing that whether or not you do any work during the day, there is no way that you can get fired. There is no need to fear about being written up simply because you were late, either. What could possibly be better than that? Well, the fact that you are generating all the profit as opposed to a tiny percentage each week while the company you work for rakes in millions if not billions a year.

While having a job in this economy could be considered as a blessing, is it your dream? Are you just making enough to get by? Don't you want more? I'm not saying quit your job. I'm saying keep your job until your business is repeatedly producing beyond your pay check. There is no reason why you should be solely making money for someone else. You are able to do what those big companies do and make all the money for you and your family. Granted, at the beginning you most likely won't be raking in six figures, but with some significant elbow grease you should be able to make enough money that you won't have to stress about putting in a resume or sitting through a pointless interview again. You will need to put some hard work in, but that shouldn't be any harder than what you have been doing all these years for someone else.

There are numerous options and so many possibilities. What are your passions and interests? What do you love doing? Take some time to consider what you're good at doing. Identify your strengths and weaknesses. Research different opportunities that match up with your specific interests. Find what works for you and your family and run with whatever it is.

Network Marketing is a lucrative multi-billion dollar industry that happens to be the saving grace for many of the worlds 'income seekers' during these challenging economic times. If you happen to be pondering partnering up with a company, you can expect to find that there are numerous niches that exist within the Network Marketing Industry that fall under four main categories:

1. Health and Wellness

The most popular niche that is available in the Direct Sales/Network Marketing Industry at this time is the health and wellness niche. This industry is regarded as being the most popular since increasingly more folks are becoming health conscious, in conjunction with the influence of the maturing Baby Boomer population.

These products are highly consumable and have a extensive appeal to the masses. They are usually called 'alternative medicines' because of their ingredients composed of natural herbs.

The Health & Wellness products mostly promote bettering afflictions, maximizing the energy and body's immune system, while others even promote quick weight loss while not adversely doing harm to the body.

This specialized niche is big on recurring order, direct sales and consumable products. Working within this niche allows you to grow a huge residual income if you have lots of sales reps that specialize in clients who consume the products and commit to autoship.

2. Cosmetics and Personal Care

Following the trend of health and wellness is cosmetics and personal care. This niche focuses mainly on direct selling and consumer products as well, but instead of offering products to help your health, they work directly with the image industry.

Make up and personal care product companies are created to purely help you look your best. While health and wellness can help you feel your best, personal care companies assist you look your best.

Personal care product companies provide full marketing tools and training for certain product lines that are presented to the market. The product line is promoted by hosting house parties, demonstrations, and business opportunity meetings. While health and wellness focuses more in sponsoring, the pay out in cosmetics and personal care comes from the total number of products sold within a particular time period.

3. Online Marketing Companies

Since the introduction of the Internet, lots more people are becoming Internet savvy and are in search of ways to monetarily benefit from it. With this Internet Marketing Wave, network marketers are starting to turn to online marketing to promote their products and services.

As the world becomes even more comfortable with shopping online, a new niche of Network Marketing industries has blossomed, and we will talk about two of these primary Internet Marketing companies below:

A. E-commerce Companies

These are Network Marketing companies that sell various products and services by way of the Internet. They include clothing lines to books to a variety of informational applications amongst other services.

One of the most profitable Internet businesses deemed by these companies is e-book retailing. The cost to produce an e-book is little to none, keeping overhead very low.

Another great benefit to Internet products is there are no shipping fees, on account of digital downloads. Once ordered, the product is usually immediately downloaded directly to the customer's computer, making the customer extremely happy and the company excited with terrific profits.

Other types of downloadable information products include CDs and DVDs.

B. Internet Service Firms

There are also companies that specialize in providing internet services. Their business services focus entirely on servicing marketing along with Internet tools like web hosting, web design software, auto responders, and e-mail marketing systems.

The market for this type of network marketing company is practically unlimited given that millions of conventional businesses are now recognizing the internet as their most potent marketing and promotional tool.

4. Home Party

Another popular sort of niche within the network marketing industry is the home party niche. It is mainly favored by stay at home parents looking for part time income.

A home party business only requires minimum investment to get your product demos, websites, and other marketing tools. Thought to be the most family-friendly of all network marketing companies, this business is a rewarding way to make revenue. By joining a home party company, distributors get to enjoy flexible schedules and take pleasure from networking with different types of people.

There are additional niches within the network marketing industry that we didn't cover here like the traveling niche, investments niche, energy companies and motivational and educational niches. However, as you continue on your search to find the best fit for you, be sure to partner with one that you believe in and will enjoy! The biggest misstep that many people make when starting a new business is not having the same work ethic or dedication that they have for their employer for their own business. It's crazy when you think about it. Some people are willing to work harder for someone else than for themselves. You need to be as serious about your business as you are about your employers. If you cannot completely dedicate yourself to your own business you may as well keep working to build someone else's fortune!

Making money for your employer may be something that you are used to doing on a daily basis, but it certainly isn't the way to financial freedom. These days we've all figured out there is no such thing as job security. So while you're working your fingers to the bone every day to make your boss look good, you should be implementing your Plan B. It may start out as supplemental income, nest egg savings, a college fund for the kids, or down payment for a house money. It may grow into a full time business. The point is you must start some where and somehow right now. If for any reason your paycheck stopped coming, what would happen to you and your family? Do you have enough saved up for at least 6 months to a year? If you do, you're doing better than most because most people are literally a paycheck away from being homeless!

It's time for you to take charge of your future and the only way you can do that is by starting your own work from home business so its possible to at some point walk away from that corporate dance you have to perform for that lowly paycheck. So, do you want to work someone else the rest of your life or for yourself? The answer should be a quick and easy one.
