Question: What is the most economical way to advertise my Home Based Business?

I have a limited amount of money to spend on advertising my home based health business. I love the products I have found and want to share with others and help others get healthy!

Answer: I would go around to local businesses that are health concious such as health clubs, health food stores, GNC, and see if you can put up flyers...it really depends on what you are offering. Put an ad in your local paper, order some pens, and hand those out to random people, pens travel fast someone is always needing one so they are always passing hands. Join the chamber of commerce in your community. put together some small samples and hand those out at community events. Your best advertisement is mouth to mouth. you could also get a magnet with your logo on it and attach it to your car, can you say tax deduction~anywhere you drive for your business you can write off part of your gas, or your mileage on your taxes. You could start up your own website and have it come up when you do searches, you'll have to find out more aobut that b/c i don't know much about it. Go to the library, or a used bookstore, or college or online bookstore and get a (new or used in the past few years) text book out on marketing and learn new tricks from that. Good Luck

Pre-paid Legal in the news. Scam & Rip-off or Legit Home Based Business Opportunity?

Question: Data Entry operator Home Based Business offers ask a reg.fee of $40-100. Are these geninue or rip-off/scams?

Home Based Business offers for Data Entry Operatores, ask you to subscribe $40-100, and only then you get a "Business kit". Are these offers genuine or just another Web-based scam and rip-off?
Similarly You get "Award Notification" of having won a Lotter of $4 million etc. and ask you to send a processing fee which cannot be deducted from the winnings but have to be paid first, before you can receive your winnings. Has any one ever won a lottery like this? Isn't it another internet scam scheme? I would like to receive a genuine reference and not from the advertisers own web site.

Answer: RIP-OFF! Delete them, run away from the computer.

First off, you should never have to pay to get a job (unless you pay a recruiter to do it, then it is generally for high-level executives).

Award Notification emails are scams. Pay me $2,500 and give me your bank account number and I will deposit $4 million in there. . . Read the email, carefully. How many misspellings are there? You will have to look close, some are very clever. Also look where it is coming from. Most will be outside the US. It is illegal for a US citizen to participate in a foreign lottery (playing scratch-off or something while in Europe or Canada is illegal, but "o.k.").

also, did you get the one from South Africa? Their office is in London and they pay out 25 million Euro's. South Africa doesn't use the Euro, and as of last year, neither does England (though I think that is going to change fairly soon if it hasn't already).

Hope this helps.

Home Based Business - Work From Home

If you prefer to get a job but still work from home rather than start your own Home Based Business, then data entry jobs may be what you are looking for. There are two main types of data entry jobs. The first, you work at a company as an employee doing data entry work. The second is to do data entry at home as a Home Based Business.

First of all you are responsible for filing your taxes as a business owner. Then, you are responsible for finding data entry jobs and keeping them. Good data entry jobs are hard to find. Online data entry jobs usually have more applicants than the spaces available.

Although not common, some online data entry jobs have investment or upfront fees. These are not good opportunities and can even be scam if looked at closely. When you want the best data entry job, look for Online Data Entry Jobs Without Investment.
