An Internet online business may be the answer for some people who are having trouble finding work or who want to be their own boss. The lure of doing work in one’s pajamas all day can be mighty appealing and in some cases the dream has become a reality. For most entrepreneurs however, who are interested in an Internet online business, pajamas are best left beside the bed and jeans and sweat shirt are the attire of the day. In all cases, work at home means at least as hard a workday as an office job and the reality is that home based business owners spend three to four hours longer each day at their jobs than commuters going to an office. So the whole thing really becomes a tradeoff of sorts. Less pay, longer hours, higher taxes because one is self employed, finding affordable health insurance and blah, blah, blah. For a few very hardworking and resourceful entrepreneurs, the payoffs are tremendous and that is the goal most home based business owners are striving to achieve.

When a person reads the words “Internet online business,” there are two ways the phrase can be interpreted. The phrase may mean to someone that it is a job wholly confined to the Internet and all work is done completely online. Or it might mean to another reader a business based in a home that needs the Internet to do business. A look at both types of meanings will probably be helpful to the reader. What can give a person’s life stability in the midst of troubled times? “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly…but his delight is in the law of the Lord…and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit is season…” (Psalm 1a, 2a, 3a)

Consider first that there are a number of Internet online business scams that are parading out on the Web as legitimate opportunities. These are often presented from beautiful and very enticing websites, but are as phony as promises from politicians. Assembly at home jobs are fakes and frauds and should be ignored like TV commercials. Medical billing businesses will take thousands of dollars from a person and leave all the work of finding doctors who want help billing patients, which turn out to be zero because large corporations do the billing work for physicians in the 21st century. Processing emails is another rip-off as well as paying for a list of companies that need work at home employees which always turns out to be companies that don’t need home workers. There are the 1-900 numbers to call for job information and just don’t even bother with them and the typing at home jobs that promise two hundred dollars a day. Come on, typists don’t make over ten dollars an hour so who is going to hire someone and pay them two hundred dollars for a day’s work?

Now there are some legitimate Internet online business opportunities that Web based. One can earn money taking surveys online, but care should be taken to check a company out. A person will certainly not get rich taking these surveys, which often pay in gift certificates to well-known department stores. There are some legitimate data entry jobs, but they are surrounded by a lot of scam jobs with the same promises. Research and do the homework ahead of time such as asking for a lot of references and calling others who work for the same company. It is for certain that any home based business opportunity that asks for money upfront should be thoroughly investigated. Very few employers ever ask potential employees for money to work at their company and if they do, one should head for the hills the other way.

One of the most lucrative Internet online business opportunities is built around building one’s own web affiliate network. There are some online companies that can give guidance in constructing an affiliate network. The simple explanation of an affiliate network is websites paying other websites to advertise on their home pages and getting a commission when a visitor clicks on the ad. In truth, most affiliate programs may only pay a few hundred dollars a month, but high performing affiliates can make thousands of dollars each month. A person needs a basic understanding of Internet inner workings to take on this project, but if done correctly can provide a perpetual income to the network creator.

On the other hand, there are plenty of legitimate Internet online business opportunities that are based on franchises that can be purchased. Internet online business franchises that have been proven to be successful are usually not inexpensive. They often require not only a franchise buy in fee that can be in the tens of thousands of dollars, but also often ask that the potential owner have a sizable net worth. The great strength of a franchise is that the program has been tested and proven to work under most circumstances. But no matter what business a person chooses, working at home is not all it’s cracked up to be. There are interruptions, temptations (like too beautiful a day to spend inside) and family members who may not understand the dynamics of a work at home culture. Then there is the extra seven and a half percent tax one has to pay for social security and the list goes on.
