Are there any entry-level home based businesses that are worth a shit?

nutra do you see what I mean? you and the guy above you, jonk, are both promoting MLM's for company's we've never heard of. and your sales pitch just doesn't sound genuine. you guys really need to work on that. you haven't even gotten to know us. this is spam.

They're advertised all over the internet. Most of them are scams, I know this without having to be told because people suck. Does anyone know of any that actually work? I need to be able to travel back and forth at will.

Yes there are and I have one. However I will not post the link because I know that the people here are about 99.99% cynical.
The fact of the matter is that there are many companies that use Direct marketing to move their products and do very well. Direct marketing is and will continue to be a very successfull business model. There is a big difference between the "Get Rich Schemes" that I have heard talked about here and the many legitimate businesses thast use Direct marketing.

The fact of the matter is that only about 1% of the population has what it takes to succede in direct marketing. This does not make direct marketing bad it just means that most people are not inclined to work at it long enough to be sucessfull.

But do you see how the posts on this page by jonk and nutra (no offense guys) foster and sustain the negative perception that plagues MLM and direct marketing? Just throwing shit up and hoping it sticks.

I've found those 1% you speak of are good salesman. You either have to sell people on the 'product' or on the promise of 'financial freedom'. It isn't just MLM though. Only about 1% of the population has what it takes to be successful in ANY industry.

Absolutly, That is why when I speak to anyone about my business I stress that my #1 concern is to offer free training and mentoring that is generic. These people I work with will remember me when the "Get Rich Scheme" they are associated with fails. I believe that if I help others that that will benefit all of us in the future.

computer sales, mostly servers are on the rise dramaticly. My father started up early repairing computers in ~1991 then moved onto selling desktop computers then to servers. If you can like working w/ computers, find a place where you can first learn about them, then figure out a way to get low cost parts. Ebay has an unlimited supply on buyers.

Wow I love all you very narrow minded people on here, as soon as they see some1 say they can make alota a monet they label it as a scam, only because they have not yet been educated on life and business. you do know that 95% of the world is employed, and that 95% only controls 5% of the worlds money, yet 5% of the world is businees ownwers investers, and yes HOME BASED BUSINESS people, and they control the other 95% of the money. thats not my sales pitch that came straight from the goverment. I just have to laugh when i see you people goinmg and labelin it as a scam cuz a few ppl make money and you dont, I laugh when i see you busting your ass off everyday at work to afford your nice care or nice house while i sit at home have free time and have my nice stuff. Network Marketing is the best way to make money, its not easy lie people say and its not a get rich quick scaem cuz its not quick it take 3-5yrs if your willing to work for your money you will retire soon. so many people say its a scam cuz they do it for a few months and quit. nothing good happens in a few months everything takes time. If ne of you are open minded then give me a PM but I doubt ne of you are.

that doesn't change the fact that they have found less than 0.1% of people make it in network marketing, which to me makes it more worthwhile to pursue industries with a higher success rate and where you don't have to work 3-5 years just to build up enough money to make a living. more money in real estate and many other ventures. you also presented your case like a real jerk.

If it's not a _scam_ -- post some independent financial numbers.

We're intelligent enough in financials to read numbers. The bottom lines. If you were going to a venture capitalist or investor, he'd tell you to leave the marketing hype at home and bring the books.

So wanna impress us? Start posting facts and numbers that can be easily verified for integrity. Let the facts support your idea, rather than well-formed sentences and adjectives.
