WAH Jobs Versus Businesses
A lot of people get confused between working from home and running a home-based business. There are work at home jobs and work at home businesses out there. Pay close attention to the difference because sometimes businesses will sell themselves as jobs to get you to buy in.
With a business, you will have to invest money upfront. If you are joining an established company, such as Mary Kay or Avon, you are paying a franchising fee as if you were buying the right to open a McDonald's in your neighborhood. Self-run businesses will require capital to set-up, marketing, and run.
With a work at home job, you should not be asked for any money upfront. Let's go back to McDonald's. You don't pay to fill out an application there. You don't pay to work for someone. The company pays you to work for them.
A business will require sweat, blood, and tears (and maybe a couple of years) to earn any significant profit.
A job will start earning you money now in the form of a weekly or monthly paycheck.
A business has an undetermined income. You, your product, and your marketing efforts determine how much you make on a monthly basis.
With a job, you will make the same hourly wage every week. You will know how much you will earn, which means there are no lean months. Neither are their any fat months.
Many people begin a work at home job while building a work at home business, and that option works for a great number of work at home entrepreneurs. The job pays the bills until the income from the business takes over.
Take some time to check out any company you are considering for either a job or a business opportunity. Ask questions and be sure you understand everything before committing anything.
