Nothing Down, Nothing Gained!

How much should you pay to start a work from home opportunity?

Before you give in to the impulse to dive in to a work from home opportunity promising 'no start up costs', it's worth looking at how you actually make money in this kind of business.


Simply, You are paid a commission on goods consumed or sold in the organisation you build and that commission cannot be too high or low - it must be fair.

You see, the companies which run genuine work-from-home opportunities have the balance right. Their products are fairly priced, they make enough profit to keep their shareholders happy and to stay viable, they do not compromise on raw ingredients or Research & development and last but not least, they compensate their Distributors and Associates fairly.

Now, remembering that the people in your organisation will start exactly as you are starting, how much commission would you like to make when you start a new person?

Coming back to our 'no start up costs opportunity', you will make a percentage of $0 every time you start somebody. Suddenly that opportunity doesn't look so good.

Finally, there is commitment. As you have to help train and mentor your new people, wouldn't you rather work with people who have made a commitment and invested some money?

Look for a work from home opportunity with start up costs that are not too low!
