Hello Ladies I am interested in starting a home based business..I have searched high and low to find the right business for me. I have tried to avoid dealing with sales but as it turns out whatever I choose will deal with sales in some form or fashion. Please help!!! I also need to know if anyone has information on home rebate processing? I am not sure where to find a legit company in this type of work. Thanks C”

I have learned some marketing skills and have acquired some tools and programs to help with this home business, I never had this help ever before, but the team I am currently working with is great..
This one I currently joined is working , and it pays well too.. , but you have to learn the system.. The company is gdi, and they are a website/domain/hosting company.. It is a service that is really in demand, because alot of people are in need of a website and a place to host their site..
You just must refer people in and get paid.. It is free to take a test drive and check it out.. That is what I did I was skeptical at first, but this business makes sense for once.. If anyone is interested in knowing more please email me. or go to http:www//MoneyForReal.ws and view the demo movie.. ..

My name is Ms. Stansbury and I am in the health and wellness business.It only cost me $99.00 to get started. Plus I have several replicable websites and I also use the products continuously. They work great and are chemical free.
I joined a Global company based in Scottsdale Arizona a little while ago and because I am not a very good sales person, their MAP Program and/or Direct Response method appealed to me and has proven to make owning mine own busy simple. Let me explain. There is absolutely no cold calling, hard selling (unless you enjoy this sort of thing and just want to..."it's just not for me") or keeping of inventory.
Now about the MAP Program and Direct Response method: With this business, you can acquire returning customers direct from the company!. Business Affiliates can purchase returning customers that have already tried and like the quality products that this company produces in its own laboratories.
This is what I do to leverage my business, as I do not like bothering friends and family about purchasing products. You see, I admit to my shame, I was not endowed with the "gift of gab".
Any ways, many of these customers are not aware of the business opportunity that the company offers, but if and when they do become aware of it, via the company's many advertising methods such as television, radio, or web infomercials or print pieces or by you, some of your customers might transform from customer to Business Affiliate and join your network and you benefit ever greater!
The best part about this business Op you will enjoy generating for yourself now and in the years to come a residual income that will continue to thrive even after you stop working the business, and you won't have to sell the farm to achieve this.
That said, here is a video detailing the company's business model. I can't link it in this forum, but if you will send me your email I will reply with a working link.

I know sales can seem intimidating, but you have to realize "selling" online is not like selling a used car. It's much more about advertising. Which can be totally fun. You advertise your products/service and then people contact you to find out more. There are a million ways to advertise online and when you find a company that has an excellent team they will help you out every step of the way to learn how to most effectively advertise your business.
One last thing. No matter what you are doing you are always selling. Because people don't REALLY buy a business/product they buy YOU. A study was done where they asked a bunch of people who went to a network marketing meeting to rank things in order of importance. The person who was presenting the information was one and whether the person felt they could be successful was number 2. Info about the company and products did not come in until number 5. It's all about you!!! So even if you have crappy products ~ which I don't suggest you align yourself with poor products ~ what it really comes down to is shining who YOU ARE clear calm and bright and people will be attracted to that.
Good luck and I hope you find just what you are looking for. :)

there is no selling, no stocking, no inventory. its just returning phone calls to people who request information about what you do. we work with a company that sells eco-friendly products that cost less per use, work far better than anything else i have ever used. and are none toxic. plus they make your house smell awsome, not like chemicals. sounds good to you click on my link and request more information.

Here are my suggestions on finding a legitimate opportunity that's right for YOU:
- Set your financial goals -- Are you just looking for extra income or a potential full-time income? How long (and hard) are you willing to work to meet your goal?
- Determine if you are looking for a JOB or a BUSINESS -- there is a distinct difference between the two and you want to focus your energies appropriately for the best results.
- If looking for a JOB, what are your marketable skills and previous experiences? If you are looking for a BUSINESS, go with your passions, things that interest and motivate you the most. Build a list and use that to begin your search. General rule of thumb: Never pay for a job (businesses, on the other hand, usually involve some expenses).
- Review your budget -- know ahead of time what you are willing and able to invest into your business, including start-up costs and ongoing maintenance and promotion.
- Find a rep to contact, check out their websites, ask questions, do your own independent research. Check resources such as www.bbb.org, www.scam.com, and www.ripoffreport.com for potential scams.

It does require a start up cost, as any real business would, but it's sooooo worth it. I've been doing it for one week today and already made my first sale. The system does all of the selling for you, all you do is drive traffic to the site. Truly it's incredible. I can't tell you how many "work at home" scams I've gone through to find one that actually works. And to make it even better, the product rocks. It teaches you and takes you step by step into financial independence while helping others do the same. I'm truly proud to have my name associated with this company. Go to this page and enter your name and email and it will give you lots of info on it! www.mystressfreeincome.com

Whatever you choose make sure it is something you enjoy doing and not just getting into it because you heard you can make a lot of money. Be ready to make an emotional, financial and time investment into developing and growing your business. Take a look at Ladies Who Launch and Make Mine a Million. Those are very helpful sites. Then check out the SBA.
Good luck.
