I keep running into “work at home” jobs that want money up front or start up fees plus monthly membership. I don’t think I should pay to work at home for someone else. I would really like to have my own business but can’t afford what they are asking for. Can anyone help?
There are a lot. The ones that have some sort of investment (usually under $500) are home based business opportunities. You have the same income opportunity as a traditional business, but without all the over head expenses.
The ones that don’t have start up costs or investments would be a job working for someone else. A job would not have monthly fee’s or memberships. You would apply the same way you would a traditional job, and the hiring process is pretty much the same. As far as you don’t think you should pay to work from home, if it’s a business your starting then yes you would have to dish money out. There is no “real” business out there that anyone can start up without some investments to be made. If they say it’s free, then it’s not a business. Try walking into a Subway store and asking the owner to become partners with him, or opening up your own and not pay anything. It won’t happen. They will laugh at you. Same thing with a business you run from home. There is no difference except for the fact that your running it out of your home (cuts the cost down). The business model, what’s involved and what you do is the same, except there’s less bills to dish out, (less over head) which means the profit margin is higher.
I know a lot of people who have home based businesses. They all had to pay start up costs, invest a little money in to get it going etc. Most of them spent under $500 because they utilized what they have, their home instead of spending tons of money on an office space, collaborated with a company of their choice and had the company take on most of the expenses, like holding the inventory (for some businesses), customer services, Drop shipping, Payroll, billing etc etc etc. This is what most fee’s in home based busineses are for.
I hoped this helped you understand the difference between a job and a business, the opportunities and the fact that they are legit, you just need to look at it from a business perspective and not a “job” when it comes to home based businesses. People get these confused and give out a lot of false statements on things they have no clue about.
