I've seen so many, I just had to click on this one.

Serious Home Business Opportunity,
Top Producer Mentoring, not MLM

The best I can recall this is the ad that I saw on the internet while just mindlessly wasting time. After going to the site it occured to me that all this time was not wasted, because by just simply knowing how to copy/paste and other simple internet functions, was all that I needed to do this.

Only in the past year has the writing on wall turned into a constant yelling in your face. The market saw a shift in April of 2005, however we didn't really see effect until a year later when in April of 2006, usually the best months for real estate and the mortgage industry, sales were totally flat. Sure things still moved, but they moved at a much slower pace.

Making a living from home and setting your own hours seems like a dream scenario. The truth is 95% or so of internet MLMers or marketers fail. Heck 95% of online business fail in the first 2 years. Yet people keep on trying.

I looked into a few, but nothing caught my eye, you know the feeling when you go into the store and have money to spend, but you leave empty handed.

Beware of the Fluff. They seem like great companies, they have a good sales pitch and their comp plan looks good too. They have big corporate offices and have been around for years. Isn't that good? Any company out there that sells products like lotions, potions, pills, miracle juices or miracle gas saving products usually doesn't work for the average person for many reasons.

A little while ago a friend of mine asked me if he could have a job, because real estate was not making him any money anymore. I simply said, "I do not have a job that would be good for you." Because all the jobs I had available were hands on and get dirty for a little over minimum wage. You know the type, the ones high school kids have, like pumping gas, cutting down trees, digging ditches etc.

In the past I have found that consistency pays off. In life, showing up to school everyday or work, thats consistency. This pays off in the simple fact that, if your there, then maybe you will accomplish something. Now online marketing or MLM is simply the same thing. If you treat it as a job that you dont care about, and sometimes show up and sometimes dont.

If you need to sell something, then you need customers.
And getting customers isnt always easy. In real life, it might be easier, because they are walking into your store or because they saw it driving by, or walking by if its in the mall. But if you want massive traffic you need to advertise. Like McDonalds, the food is nasty, -just my opinion- but people still go there way to often.

It all began some time ago when I started to dabble into online marketing, when I found the keys and no, not the keys to my car, but the key to becoming rich online, so I can buy a new car. Now listen, I know you are skeptical about marketing online, but it is so easy. In fact too easy. So concider this, working 8-9 hours a day at your job, how easy do you find that? I bet you are frustrated with your income, or at least want to make more.

See how average Joe's are making more money than you and I. I work my hands to the bone 6 days a week as an automotive mechanic. I feel that I am one of the better mechanics. So why am I doing this labor intensive, hand cutting, head bonking, constantly covered in grease, not to mention keeping up with all the computer technology advancements on todays automobiles.

The reality of what I have found with working is that with effort you can excel. Not many will argue with that. So why would the internet be any different. If you are willing to put in some effort, then why not try your hand at online marketing. First of all, they say 95% fail, i dont know, I think those people are failures already, or lacking support.

If you are considering working from home, then you most likely need or want to make more money. For some its about spending more time with family. That was my choice, and hopefully the other falls into place. I also wanted to work from home because going to a work place, just didn't appeal to me anymore. Then again, most of the things in my life at that time lost their appeal.
