ForumsStarting a Business

Not sure if you are still looking for a home based business but I'm adding my two cents for what's it's worth.

There have been quite a few replies about MLMs. MLMs are not all bad. If you perform your due diligence and thoroughly check out the company an MLM/Network Marketing company just might be the right fit for you. You can work from home but I would advise you to join a business networking group and build relationships with people. I particularly recommend BNI (Business Networking International). Just google BNI and you'll find their web address.

I have been in network marketing for a couple of years and I thoroughly enjoy it. Not only is it a way to make an income, you also receive an education in communication, sales, relationship building, time management, etc. Donald Trump and Robert Kyosaki are big proponents of network marketing.

With any business you start there is hard work and commitment involved. It takes time and an investment in yourself to build a business. When I say "investment in yourself" I mean education, education, education.

If you would like to speak with me one to one, e-mail me at patsyschutte@sendoutcards.com. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you and provide assistance in any way I can.

As you know Ephedra was pulled in 2004 for the alkoloid metal controversy surronding some health side effects from the products that contained it. In the years of litigation , it was determined and later proven, that if the alkaloids were removed, and a differrent species of the many combinations of the Ephedra plant were used, these health risks were eliminated conclusively and XIMO won the case to use Ephedra in its formulation.

The formulation of Energy and metabolic boosters, enhances the blood oxygen flow to the brain,through Ephedra vasodilitators,( blood vessel relaxors) theyby increasing Brains' function, focus and concentration . In addition, the nutrient patented formulation, contains elements that lower the Homocystines, in the blood stream, therein reduces the risk of heart attacks. Further bolstering its attributes, Ximos' formula has the ability to increase the metabolic activity at the cellular level, creating a virtual Cyberkinetic boost in caloric and fat utilization.

I started with a small business teaching CPR-AED-First Aid. The training course to be an instructor costs less than $500 including your materials such as training manuals. Then you purchase promotional items, manikins, course consumables, etc. yes it's all under $1000 to start-up.

CPR & First aid courses currently cost around $40-65 per person. By teaching ONE CLASS of TEN (10) students you can expect a full return of your investment.

At first, You can just teach CPR and First Aid only and then build up a pot so you can purchase your own AED unit that costs between $150 to upwards of $1500 each. you can teach on 1-on-1 or classes with a maximum of 12 students per instructor.

There is no medical background pre-requisite to be an instructor. You don't need to be a medical practitioner.

CPR certification is a requirement in many industries, government agencies and private companies: law enforcement, security, in-home patient care, teachers, lifeguards, factories, etc.

It's a great small business opportunity that you start doing around your community without the need for a large capital.

or if you are around SoCal you can contact me directly. I currently offer Instructor training programs.

Been almost a year since your post but thought I'd reply anyways!

Starting a home-based business doesn't need a lot of start up cost and may not start bringing in tons of $$$$$ right away. You could look at getting grants if you want to start your own product or service selling.
As Payroll admin - you could also outsource yourself for smaller businesses and do their payroll for them. Many small businesses also haven't a clue about web design but would like to advertise. You could outsource yourself to them and get them set up - even if it's just helping them build a blog or two! As you get into Accounting, you can start taking care of other's payroll, Accounts Receivable/Payable and billing - helping companies move a way from manual entry to excel spreedsheets and simplifying the whole process! (You and I have the same educational background and this is exactly what I did! Only I majored in E-commerce and Marketing, but did complete Biz Admin and worked in the Accounting field for 10 years)

There are many other businesses to join which you can sell from home, so what you have to ask yourself is this:
1. How much (if any) is the start up cost?
2. Are there monthly minimum buying requirements? What other products do you need to buy to run this business?
3. What is the pay structure, how often do you get paid, what is the earning potential (don't believe that "unlimitled earnings crap!" Be realistic!)
4. Do you like the product? Do you get a discount? Does it make sense to join the company just to get the product for yourself?
5. What do you have as in individual, that will help you succeed?
6. Are there good resources to learn more and how tight is the competition?

I plan on starting a Basket and Flower business from my home - but not just yet. In the meantime, I started selling Watkins and Partylite - mainly because I like the product and getting the stuff at 25 - 50% off was worth signing up for me! Partylite was a one-time fee - expensive, but one time only. Watkins is $39.95/year. No monthly requirements on either side. I started going to community events and advertising, plus using my web experience to provide a community web page for other home-business owners, alongside my other websites. My business, as a result is increasing, my exposure is rising and I'm quite searchable on google now - which is great! I'm using the Watkins and Partylite to build a customer base and make some extra money. Soon, when the websites are all in place with customer loyalty, I will launch the home-based business and already have a huge database of potential clients!
Something like Watkins, for me, is the perfect way to go. Mainly because I love the products, and use them throughout my home instead of chemical crap found in stores! The cost is comparable to store prices so it makes sense! Watkins is quite well known and many people order from me now that they know where I am. What's even better is people order direct themselves often and I get commission just the same. So the money does come in, I get product I like and get to promote something I believe in. Just remember - there are no "get rich quick" ideas that really work! You'll always hear the "earnings are limitless" and "retire early", but you have to be realistic! There is no cap on earnings, true, but you won't likely become a Billionaire by selling these products. But yes, if you get a good base of customers who order from you, it's some good extra money and many people do sell Watkins as their primary job.

The sites I've created, if you are interested in checking them out for ideas down the road:
http://www.expressionsbytamara.ca (and .com) General Site
http://www.airdrieinfo.ca (and .com) Community Based Site - free for others in community to advertise
http://www.airdrieinformation.ca (and .com) Direct Watkins info for those interested in joining my team and getting listed on my sites.

Takes a little time to get all these up and running (and believe they are still being revised daily!) but once you've got them up and done, it's easy to maintain!

Good luck in your ventures and remember, whatever business venture you choose- keep your eyes open for the other opportunities which are bound to present themselves too!

As FORMOR 123485 said: "MLM is a great option for people who want to be self employed but don't have the money to start a conventional business." Very little risk with tremendous potential for rewards. How hard do you wish to work at your business? Compensation will be commensurate with your efforts. Look at some options and decide which is best suited for you!
Allow me to introduce another option: Zrii. Zrii is becoming a global sensation is a very short period of time. It is destined to become a billion dollar global brand. Your "investment" is determined by you (what amount are you comfortable with?) and will provide you with product samples and marketing tools. Imagine starting your own business for $500, $1000 or $1500. A one time start-up fee that provides you with 80% of your investment in product and the remaining 20% in marketing tools (DVD's brochures, etc). On-going training and training tools, webinars, quarterly "Rising Star Academy" training, endless marketing tools, weekly phone/Internet conferences with the Company Co-Founders, Scientific Advisory Board and top performers.
Look at Zrii.com, reply directly to me at aderosa58@rochester.rr.com or call at (585) 208-3902. Good luck!!!
