The Best Home Business on the Internet?

Who knows? All sorts of sites on the Internet claim that they are the best home business. Or, more modestly, the best home business in the last three years. They may even have some sort of little icon that looks like an award but is actually something they made up. The truth is that there ain't no such thing as "the" best home business but there's lots of room for scams and these scams have moved from the back pages of "Modern Romance" to the front pages of the Internet. There are many home based businesses that simply don't deliver on what they promise.

TRY GIGLETS, THE VERY BEST FOR YOUR HOME BUSINESS

You won't get rich making Giglets but it ranks number three as a best home business. You will make enough to leave your job and stay at home with your kids. All you need is a kitchen table and some hard work. You don't even need any craft skills or experience. We have designed the Home Giglets Kit so that anyone can put together 40 Giglets in an hour. For only $49.95 you can get the Giglet Home Based Business Starter Kit. We do all the marketing and sales, freeing you to work at home and spend time with your family. Alarm! Alarm! These folks are not in the business of selling Giglets. They are in business to sell Giglet kits. Never, not ever go into a home business that tries to sell you something.

PAID SURVEYS SOUND LIKE THE BEST IN HOME BUSINESS

There are many Internet sites that offer to give you a list of survey companies that pay you $10 to $20 per survey. Don't buy these lists. You can find all sorts of survey companies you can join free by simply typing "paid surveys" for your search engine. You will be doing a number of surveys a day but somehow you seem to make little or no money.

The incentive to take the survey is that you might win form $1000 to $10,000 in their daily, weekly, monthly sweepstakes. You also build up points that can be converted into rewards. You won't lose any money doing these surveys but you won't make any either. So, unless you enjoy taking surveys skip them as a legitimate home business.

WOULD MYSTERY SHOPPING BE THE BEST IDEA FOR A HOME BASED BUSINESS?

It sounds great. Get paid to shop! And that mystery part appeals to the secret agent in us all. Again, don't pay for a list of mystery shopping companies, just do an Internet search. Mystery shopping is legitimate work and something to consider if you don't mind spending a lot of time and gas for very little money. For each job you must study and memorize what you are to do and what you are looking for. This takes about 45 minutes. Then you drive to the mystery shopping place and go through your scenario. This can take from 15 to 45 minutes. Then you rush to someplace out of sight of the job site and write down your notes. Five or ten minutes. Then you go home and write a report that you send to the company via your computer. About one half-hour. Then you are paid $8.00. You do the math.

Having a home based business is a dream for many people, especially for women with children. There are many people out there who will exploit this dream. Watch out.
