Internet Home Based Business – Is Your Life As Good As This?

Internet Home Based Business - Is Your Life As Good As This?

For many years the term Home Business has been considered an oxymoron. Too many people didn’t understand how a business could be run from home. Some still don’t see how home based businesses can be successful.

The ability to earn a respectful income from home has never been easier. With the availability of broadband internet reaching even the most rural areas, some of the best home business ideas are beginning to surface.


Home Based Typists

Thanks to e-mail, home based typists and clerical jobs are being outsourced now more than ever. Small home based businesses are hiring freelancers who work from home. Freelancers and contract workers are beginning to form business opportunities that allow others the opportunity to work from home or start similar businesses.

Home Based Call Centers

Home based businesses don’t have to end with selling products or recruiting people to work for you. Home based call centers are on the rise, especially in the United States. Many of today’s hotlines and order lines are being answered by contractors who work from home. Some of those contractors are looking to start their own home based call center to employ others like them.

Home Based Virtual Assistants

Virtual assistants are becoming very popular among growing businesses and start-up companies. These assistants work for a fraction of the cost of full-time employees. This doesn’t mean they’re inexperienced in their field. It simply means they work when you need them, otherwise they’re working for someone else.

Home Based Counselors

Counseling is one of the best home business ideas to date. These professionals are highly educated leaders in their field of expertise and are readily available at your fingertips; simply a phone call, text message or email away. These professionals generally make themselves available to you 24 hours a day 7 days per week. They could be professionals in virtually any field in which you might require assistance: Network Administrators, Legal Advisors, Tax Advisors or Tutors, for example.

Home Based Hotline Workers

Home based hotline workers are similar to home based call center agents. These professionals are trained to assist in times of crisis and usually have real-world experience with difficult decisions their callers are facing.

These may sound like home based jobs; and they are. That’s how any great business opportunities are born. Someone takes their job expertise and creates a business that allows them to help others achieve similar goals. That’s the beauty of some of the best home business opportunities of this decade; the ability to capitalize on what you do best.

Finding your niche – the best business opportunity to fit your needs – isn’t a simple task. You have to give it a lot of thought and decide what you want to do. Research several before making your final decision which one best fits you needs and personality.

If your dream is to own your own business, you’re going to have to work hard to make that dream come true. Success isn’t achieved over night. Don’t fall for any of the scams that say it is.

Help answer the question about Home Based Business

Can I start a home based business, not get a business license and not pay taxes?
I read that if you dont get a business license and you run an at home based business and your neighbors dont complain about your work, its unlikey the IRS will find out and make you pay a fee as well as put your business on hold until its done. Now, in the state of FL, if I chose to not get a license because the type of business (event planning) did not require one, would I still have to pay taxes?

    There are various ways you can make money from home. In most cases, however, you will probably need to invest some cash. I cannot think of many businesses that you can start without spending something to get up and going.

    However, as someone else said, there are many scams. Be very careful. It if sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

    I have a couple of suggestons. First, join the Work at Home Forum (free). Read the posts there, You will find a lot of information about working from home, business opportunities that are worthwhile, etc. Ask questions and other members will respond with their advice and experiences.

    Secondly, if you are interested in selling products on the Internet as an affiliate, you might want to get the free report available at the other link below.

    As a life insurance agent who deals with insurance day in and day out I appreciate your frustrations from looking at thousands of insurance sites. My site
    http://www.smartlifeinsurancequotes.net addresses these issues.

    The following are five of the most common mistakes consumers make when buying life insurance.

    1. Selecting term life insurance solely because it's cheap.
    Shopping for life insurance by just comparing premiums is asking for trouble. You should compare company ratings to determine financial strength and policy features, such as convertibility options. While the policy’s premium is certainly a factor, ensuring that your policy matches your financial goals is more important.

    2. Not understanding that term life insurance is temporary.
    That's why it's called "term" insurance — because you buy it for a set period of time, most commonly 20 years. This is fine for a temporary need, such as insuring yourself until your mortgage is paid off or funding your children’s college expenses in the event of your premature death.

    A 20-year level-term life insurance policy you bought when you were 30 would expire when you're only 50. At that point, you still might need to carry insurance, but your age and health conditions might make it impossible or very expensive to do so. At least, if your policy has a convertibility option you can get coverage, it just might be down right unaffordable.

    3. Buying from a less-than-stable insurance company.
    Don’t be afraid to ask about an insurance company’s ratings. You can also look for an insurer’s Standard & Poor's, Moody's or A.M. Best ratings on the Internet.

    There are many insurance carriers with high financial ratings (A+ or better) so you shouldn’t have to buy insurance from a lower rated company. But, keep in mind that ratings can and will change, so ratings alone shouldn’t be your only consideration.

    4. Buying life insurance coverage based on a set formula.
    You may have heard that a good rule of thumb is to buy life insurance coverage equal to 10 times your annual salary or 10 times your beneficiary's annual financial need. The idea is that if your surviving beneficiary invests the life insurance proceeds in the stock market (getting an average 10 percent annual return), they'll have a steady income stream and never need to tap the investment principal.

    While this formula isn't a bad place to start, everyone has different needs, so don’t assume that 10 times your salary is what you need to carry in life insurance. The best advice here is to sit down with a knowledgeable agent that will take the time to learn about your needs.

    5. Failing to regularly review your policy.
    Is your former spouse still the beneficiary of your life insurance policy? Did you buy term insurance to cover you while you pay off your mortgage? If you refinanced during the latest rate drop and restarted the clock on your loan, you might also need to update your insurance term. Life definitely has a way of throwing changes your way. Just make sure your life insurance changes along with you.

    Also when shopping on the internet for insurance be careful of sites that are there purely as lead generators because these sites just sell your informations. But, there are plenty of legitamte and trustful site on the internet than one can purchase insurance.

    You can tell the good from the bad by taking these steps.
    1- do not put information in a from unless you actually get a real quote.
    2- look for site that have a phone number with real agents that answer the phone.
    3-If the sites says get quotes from multiple agents then the site is selling your information as a lead service.

    Sites like http://www.smartlifeinsurancequotes.net can serve as an excellant resource to start your online life insurance shopping. They have agents that you can speak to or email. You can get quotes from over 140 companies with a robust data base.
    They are many sites like these but you have to do you research. Like anything else there is the good and bad and the internet is the best place to start your search.

    Good luck

    APPEARANCE FOR RESPONDENT:
    Stephen J. Sasine, Esq.
    2101 National Bank of Georgia Bldg.
    Atlanta, GA 30303

    INITIAL DECISION
    In a complaint filed on February 22, 1978, complainant alleged that respondent is engaged in conducting a scheme or device for obtaining money through the mails by means of false representations and is engaged in conducting a lottery in violation of 39 U.S.C., 3005. Specifically, complainant alleges that respondent invites public attention to such scheme by means of promotional material which invites the recipient to participate in a "Cooperative Advertising Program" upon payment of money to respondent by mail; that in such promotional material respondent expressly or impliedly represents, in substance and effect, (a) that persons who participate in the program are assured a substantial monetary return in a short time for a very small investment (Cplt. Par. III(a)), (b) that the names and addresses listed in such promotional material under the heading "CO-OP ADVERTISERS AD SECTION" are unrelated entities and bona fide participants in the program (Cplt. Par. III(b)), and (c) that the program conducted by respondent is legal (Cplt. Par. III(c)).

    For respondent's convenience and on its motion, the location of the hearing was changed from Washington, D.C. to Atlanta, GA and the hearing was continued from March 27 to April 12, 1978. At the hearing on that date both parties presented evidence. They have filed proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. The matter stands ready for decision.

    FINDINGS OF FACT

    1. Respondent Larry Phillips is engaged in conducting a scheme or device for obtaining money through the mails under the names contained in the caption of this proceeding (CX-1 through 4; Stip. Tr. 4).

    2. In conducting such scheme respondent uses the promotional material attached to the complaint as Exhibits "A," "A-1," "B" and "B-1."

    3. Respondent's scheme is described in a piece of its promotional literature entitled "The Letter" (CX-2). Among other things, "The Letter" contains a list of four names, numbered 1 through 4. These appear under the heading "CO-OP ADVERTISERS AD SECTION." Each of the four names purports to be that of an individual or firm from each of whom a "unique and valuable one-page report of useful money-making information" and the right to reproduce and sell such report may be obtained for the sum of $2.00. Under the heading "HERE'S HOW THE ENTIRE DEAL WORKS," "The Letter" outlines four steps for participants to follow which, summarized, are as follows:

    a. Order the four reports from the four names listed as advertisers by sending each of them $2.00.

    b. Type on a piece of paper your name and address and the names and addresses of the first three "advertisers." Cut out the four names and addresses and paste your name and address in the No. 1 position, and the other three names in the Nos. 2 through 4 positions, down one position from the one they occupy on "The Letter" as mailed by respondent. This instruction notes that the name originally in the No. 4 position is eliminated in this process but advises participants not to worry because that name was once in the No. 1 position and "has probably received several hundreds of thousands of dollars by now."

    c. Have "The Letter" with the names inserted per the foregoing instruction printed in 500 (or more) copies, making no other alterations because they might "harm its pulling power."

    d. Mail out the 500 (or more) copies of "The Letter" to friends, relatives, smart business people, or to names on lists obtained from mailing list brokers.

    Following these instructions, participants are advised that the result of their mailings may be receipt of as much as $813,800 for an initial investment of $165 depending on the percentage of recipients of the 500 letters who elect to participate and the percentage of recipients of their letters who also elect to participate. Potential income is given for each stage of the scheme as the original participants' names move through the 4 positions on "The Letter."

    4. A fair reading of respondent's promotional material discloses that it makes representations substantially as alleged in the complaint. I find the representation alleged in paragraph III(a) of the complaint in those parts of CX-1 which read:

    "After 17 days we have received $337 (better than a 200% return on our original investment). After 37 days we have been flooded with an incredible $17,000. And it didn't stop there] We are still receiving the long green from the original letter, in greater and greater quantities."

    * * *

    "At the time of this writing, subscriber John Lewis is reported to be now sitting on $737,888 – all gained in less than five months on a single letter which is enclosed with this issue of the Millionaire's Newsletter.

    "Well, our own five-week $17,000+ and John Lewis' three-quarters-of-a-million dollars in just five months sure don't say "maybe" — do they?"

    This representation is also found in that part of CX-2 which reads:

    "You can actually EARN UP TO $813,800 IN THE NEXT 50 DAYS *** for a very low investment."

    5. The representation alleged in paragraph III(b) of the complaint is implicit in the description of the "Co-op Advertising Program" contained in CX-2 and was in effect acknowledged by respondent Phillips in his testimony that he used names other than his own in three of the four "Co-op Advertiser" positions because it conveyed a good impression and appearance and enhanced the profitability of the scheme from his standpoint (Tr. 47, 48).

    6. The representation that the scheme is legal is expressly made in CX-1 and CX-2.

    7. I find that all of the representations alleged in paragraph III of the complaint and found above are materially false in fact. Realization of a substantial monetary return from participation in the program is entirely a matter of chance, depending on the number of recipients of the "The Letter" and accompanying literature mailed by a so-called "Co-op Advertiser" who choose to participate in and continue the scheme. Respondent Larry Phillips' own experience based on mailing of about 7000 pieces containing one of his names in all four positions producing a return of approximately $160 in the form of "report orders" over a six-month period (Tr. 41) speaks for itself. Such a slight return for a considerable effort and investment and with four times the potential of the average participant for financial gain (due to one of his names appearing in all four positions) and employing Phillips' special knowledge of the psychology of obtaining responses to mail order promotions (Tr. 37, 39, 40) makes it apparent that a substantial monetary return will probably not be realized by the average participant.

    8. Obviously, the names and addresses listed in the "CO-OP ADVERTISERS AD SECTION" of respondent's promotional material (CX-2) are not unrelated entities and bona fide participants in the scheme. All names listed are those of respondent (Tr. 4; Resp. Proposed F. of F. No. 12).

    9. A lottery is defined as a scheme or device for the distribution of prizes by lot or chance or an event or affair whose outcome is or seems to be determined by chance (Webster's Third New International Dictionary; see also 18 U.S.C., 1301, 1302). The scheme employed by respondent offers a prize — the receipt of "orders" accompanied by $2.00 payments — dependent in whole or in part on the chance that recipients of respondent's literature will place such "orders." The element of consideration is found in the purchases of "reports" required for participation in the scheme.

    CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

    1. Respondent is engaged in conducting a scheme or device for obtaining money through the mails by means of representations materially false in fact in violation of 39 U.S.C., 3005.

    2. Such scheme is also a scheme for the distribution of money by chance thus falling within the definition of lottery as found above. See Zebelman v. U.S. , 339 F.2d 484 (10th Cir. 1964). As such the scheme also violates 39 U.S.C., 3005.

    3. In essence the scheme is nothing more or less than the well-known chain letter. The fact that participants are to receive for each $2.00 invested a one-page "money making" report is obviously only an unsuccessful attempt to camouflage the principal characteristic of the scheme as a chain letter, or lottery.

    4. An order pursuant to 39 U.S.C., 3005 in the form attached should be issued against respondent.
