Legitimate home based businesses seem to be a dying breed. Everywhere you look someone is claiming that what they have to offer can and will change your life over night. Is all you have to do is get started and sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride because what they offer runs on complete auto pilot.Well the truth of the matter is any legitimate home based business is not going to lure you in on emotion and shear hype of the moment. A legit business is always going to lead with value first, sale later.Why?Because they are confident in their product and are certain that once you see what it is that they can offer you will be more than willing to become a client and or customer.So the key for anyone looking around online and searching for a home based business should always keep one thing in mind. Is the opportunity I’m looking at offering me value upfront or is it simply hype wrapped up into a glorified sales pitch?My personal experience of looking around trying to find a business I could run from home and work for myself at first seemed like a simple task. But as I got more and more into my research I actually became more and more confused as to what was legit and what was not. Everyone claims they are the next best thing and that what they offer is all you will ever need and more.So I started to buy different packages and services simply because I did not know of any other alternative to finding out what worked and what did not. After I had purchased a few things online I came to a point that I was not going to spend any more money on any other products. And that what I had at this point was either going to work or running a home based business was simply not for me.So I got started marketing and promoting some different affiliate products and really dove into their marketing training and suggestions. I really did my best to become a product of the system that they told me worked so well for so many other people before me. That is all I needed to do was fallow these certain steps and all would work out in the end.The problem with the whole system however is there was never really any teaching or training of what it is that I was doing. It was simply telling me to do certain things and I would see results.Well when the results did not come I had no understanding as to what I was doing wrong or how to fix it. I had just been fallowing orders. And blindly hoping and praying that if I just stick with it a little longer I would see the fruits of my labors.The whole time however I was ignoring my gut instincts, which was telling me that “continuing to do the same thing over and over and expecting different results” is the true definition of insanity. And I was literally going insane wondering why it was not working.Why are people not buying from me? Why is it working for everyone else and not for me? After a few months of seeing “No” results and only one measly affiliate sale I decided it was time to go back to the drawing board. I was going to scrap all that I had done and look for something different and something that did not just tell me what to do, but would actually teach me what to do.As I went back into my research I kept stumbling upon a marketing platform that seemed to be legit and seemed to be working very well for a lot of people. However at this point in time I was a little more gun shy and kept on looking.I looked for a few more months until my cousin sent me a link referring me to the product I had dismissed a few months earlier. He stated that he was having success with the techniques and principals taught within the system and I should give it a shot.So that is what I did. I took his recommendation and I’ve not looked back. I’ve been very pleased and happy with my success and my progress up to this point. It really has been the best platform for anyone looking to establish legitimate home based businesses.
