Candles. Stationary. Art projects. Health and wellness products.
The list is endless for home-based business opportunities out there for any self-starters or the creative-minded.
For many women, or ‘mompreneurs’ there is tremendous appeal in working from home: saving on costly day care expenses; the freedom to create their own hours; and room for upward mobility at an accelerated pace.
With respect to multi-level marketing companies (online or personal networking) the key is you get out of it what you put into it. Turnkey businesses, especially in the booming health and wellness industry, are popping up everywhere you look; often times, this provides passionate women to turn a hobby into a viable business opportunity.
For those who have the drive to start a home-based business but feel ‘everything has already been done’, turnkey businesses have significant appeal. For a ‘starter package’, many turnkey solutions companies market their sign-up fees as affordable and low-investment opportunities.
For most, the business model is built on expanding personal or online networks, the former of which is often reliant on contacts ‘hosting parties’ to demonstrate the product, sign up new ‘recruits’ and for brand reinforcement.
Those home-based businesses reliant more on online networking focus more on online marketing techniques, including website traffic or ‘lead generation’ tools and technologies; YouTube videos; and social networking platforms; under this model, very little face-to-face interactions take place. Consider the home-based business model that best suits your skill set, your passion and the product type that you seek to market.
Industry experts advise to approach multi-level marketing and home-based businesses with caution. Research any company thoroughly, including understanding the company’s payment structure and history.
