Question
Has anybody found a lucrative honest home business?
I was just curious if anybody has indeed found a lucrative home business that does actually pay? If so, if you are willing to share your resources, that would be great!
Mom at home
Best Answer
Honestly having a lucrative home based business does not happen over night. It takes time to build something successful just as if you opened a traditional business. There are several factors to consider also - training, strong support, a proven system for success, a good compensation plan that works for you instead of the company and reasonable Policies and Procedures.
There are also different types... the party plan type where you have to go out and find people to host parties and those that you don't.
I have done both and though party plans pay the night of the party (if you have sales - and I had parties where there were no sales), but you are constantly beating the bushes for new hostesses, new recruits. Some party plans even have requirements that you recruit a certain number or knew people each month. I find that too much pressure and emphasis on the wrong concept.
Other type of home based businesses, ones that seem to work the best are product driven, but you don't have to have parties, tote inventory around, take orders or money from people, hope their checks don't bounce, etc... However, you are normally paid on an accrued amount of sales, either weekly bi-weekly or monthly dependent on the compensation plan.
I wrote a blog about advice for working from home. It's NOT a commercial advertisement for anything I am in, just straight from the hip info I learned along the way in finding something legit that works for me. The blog will help you learn how to search out information BEFORE you get in, some suggestions on things that WON'T work, etc. Also, if you are interested in reading it, please be aware that I make NO recommendations of the ads that the forum places on my page. They are put their randomly and I have no control over the ads. You can find a link in the 2nd paragraph of my profile here on answers.
If I can help any further, let me know

by Passionate C - 4 years agoYes. It would be creating your own online business in your passion area. I have been learning from Patrick and thought that it might be helpful to you if you are looking into how to create your successful online business.
See: www.income-internet-business.com as it will share with you how to do it correctly in a detailed step by step guide. It will also tell you where to get the necessary resources cheap or even free.
Hope that it will be relevant to you.
An excellent source for finding a legitimate home-based business is to check out Direct Selling Association (DSA) at www.dsa.org. DSA is the national trade association of the leading firms that manufacture and distribute goods and services sold directly to consumers.
My advice is to go where the money is and that is travel. Travel is a $7.1 billion industry and growing every day. A Baby Boomer is retiring ever 8 seconds and the first thing they want to do is travel. The average family in the United States spends $4,200 annually on travel. This is why wife and I started our own online travel business. We’ve looked for years for a home based business and this is the first thing that made sense to us. The best part is that it sells itself. All you have to do is tell people about it. The industry commissions are already built in. You can also learn to save thousands on your taxes and travel wholesale instead of retail. The company that we work through is publicly traded, SEC regulated, has a $6,000 guarantee, and even offers health insurance. They even send their top agents on a cruise to the Bahamas every year. No one else does this. We love this business!

by Exceptional Escapades - 4 years agoSure, I am also a mom at home with 2 little ones. I started my Mary Kay business 3 years ago. I loved and used the skin care for years and decided to give it a try mainly for the discount. I was amazed at what I found. You make 50% of what you sell buying directly from the comapny and selling to your coustomers no middle man or parties to submit so you are paid immediatly. You control your income level based on your personal needs. It is a fun way to make money while providing a service that makes people feel good. I would be happy to send you information or answer any question there is so much to tell I want to be sure I am addressing your needs and not just rambling about what I think.
