Tips on Home Based Business Research

Do your own Research

I just got through reading a Wall Street Journal Insert by Direct Selling News. www.DirectsellingNews.com and completely enjoyed numerous articles on this market. Some call it MLM, Network Marketing or Direct Sales. I have been so encouraged by the recognition and the big players investing in various types of home-based businesses because I am a proud owner of a Telecommunication, Technology and now Energy network marketing business at http://www.5Linx.net/Thewilsons.

One of the reasons I recommend that individuals should do their own research is: as I scan the internet, I find various comments where the words scam, rip off, pyramid and other terms are attached to Outstanding home-based businesses. One of the worse place to consult when making a decision to start your own network marketing business is a friend or family member who may not be an authority and have heard or read some of the same negative comments I have.

Some things to consider as you research. Select the products and services that interest you. Go to The Direct Selling Association enter the company name and see if it is a member. We are delighted about what is said about our Telecommunications company. You could be putting your business goals on hold by letting others discourage you on a decision you should make for yourself.
