Type "home biz opportunity" into Google's search engine and you
will get about 10 Million entries. Also, there were 409,212
searches using the search term "home-based business." This new
approach to rating "home biz opportunities" is based on 11
objective major criteria and 7 minor criteria. There are no web
sites that only rate home biz opps, only those that review some
opps only to point you to their specific opportunity.
Each major attribute can earn 7 points, and each of the 7 minor
attributes can earn 3 points each. Ratings will be: Excellent,
Good, Average, Poor, and Scam. Excellent requires a score of 90
or above, Good requires a score of 70 or above, Average requires
a score of 50 or above, Poor requires a score of 30 or above,
and Scams get no score at all. The score totals mentioned above
are for all 11 major attributes and the 7 minor attributes. The
perfect home business opportunity would score a 98 using these
criteria. However, there are no perfect home business
opportunities, no matter what the promotion brochures say for a
specific opportunity.
Some of the many questions or considerations involved in rating
a home business are-
How big is this market? What is the industry trend? Is the
industry expanding? What is the nature of the product or
service? Is the product consumable? How is the product delivered
to the customer? Is there a proven business system? Is there a
good support system? Is the company well respected? Will you be
ahead of or behind the trends? Are you early or late in the
product and industry cycle? Do the products provide value for
the cost to the end user? Does the company have any exclusivity
or patents? Regarding the competition, who are you marketing
against? Are there good profit margins? What is the payment or
commission scheme? What are the sales methods involved? Is the
company "On the Net" and are they E-Commerce enabled? What level
of administration is required? Is training available from your
upline? How great is the potential to make money in this
business? Do you know someone with experience in this business?
Do you have to do all the work or can you earn overrides? What
is your gut feeling? Will the company train you? How soon will
my investment come back to me as profit? Can I work this
business at my own pace? How long has the company been in
business?
As you can see from just the limited set of questions above,
there are a lot of things to consider before you decide to
invest your time and/or money in any home business opportunity.
THE NEW OBJECTIVE APPROACH
This system used to rate home biz opps is based on 11 primary
considerations and 7 minor considerations. They are-
Primary 1. Product or service 2. Product price and market
competition 3. Company 4. Proven business system 5. Available
support system 6. Available training and resources 7.
Compensation system 8. Profitability 9. Costs involved - both
startup and recurring costs 10.Will I have full control over my
business 11.Can I work this business at my own pace
Minor 1. How is the product delivered to the customer 2. Does
the product/service have an automated delivery capability 3. Is
the company "On the Net" and E-Commerce enabled 4. Are you
supplied with business tools to make your live easier 5. What
level of administration is required 6. Consider whether you will
be ahead of or behind the trends 7. How great is the potential
to make money in this business
Using these objective factors will save those looking for home
biz opps a lot of time and many dollars that would otherwise be
wasted.
