The best opportunities are the ones you create for yourself -- without joining all the various "get rich quick" schemes, or MLM programs.

Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.

First you need to look at what your interested in.
Are you trying to learn something new, or are you trying to sell stuff since you were in retail?
Do you want a home based business or do you want to find another way to make income online; such as ebay, affiliate marketing, freelance etc?

There are so many options...
So let us know exactly what you like to do as an individual and I'm sure we can point you in the right direction.

One thing though read all details of everything you look at before paying for it. There is so much free information on the internet so take advantage of it, okay? Wait until you deep down feel that something is worth paying for and you have gotten all of the free information that you can possibly get.

Are you looking for a little extra cash or more of a full time income? If you are looking for a full time income then some type of affiliate marketing would be the way to go.

Any of us will happy to share our opportunity information with you ---just send a pm and let us know what information you are looking for!

The opportunities are endless ---you'll have no shortage of businesses to choose from. With previous sales experience you already have more knowledge and experience than you give yourself credit for!

Hi DKbush!
Welcome to the forum!

There really are an abundance of ways to make money on the internet nowadays. That is undeniable. It will, however, take some good marketing and a personal or group of mentors and coaches to "really" take off.

With that being said, let's find something that will be good for you.

What kind of income are you looking to make online?
Is this income to supplement another income?
What is your reason for wanting to work online rather than a "regular" job?
What kind of budget do you have to get started?
Do you have sales experience?
What is the extent of your online experience?

If you want to shoot me off the answers to this, I can help you find something that suits you best. You can post the answers here as well, and that will help others suggest something that will be worth your while!

Best of Luck, and Congrats for taking this first step!

TerryG

Having been an experienced entrepreneur- I sat down and established a set of guidelines for me to consider in a networking marketing opportunity. I have owned and run more traditional businesses for over 20 years- but I see the real power in helping others succeed and developing residual income from those you helped teach.

My own criteria were:

I had to believe in the product.
I wanted a higher than typical compensation plan in terms of per sale income
I wanted a comp plan that offered true incentives to help others succeed- and in doing so both they and I would reap additional financial rewards.
I had to be involved with a group of people who had ethical standards that matched my own. At the end of the day if you look in the mirror and do not like the person looking back at you - you are doing something wrong!

I am happy to share my own information and experience and why I am where I am- feel free to pm or email me- to me it is all about paying it forward!

Most of all- enjoy your search!

Since you already have a background in sales, then my advice would be to sell something from home. There are many different opportunities to do this. The keys are to find something legitimate, enjoyable to do, and of course make good money.

For more information and how I may be able to help your further with this, please send me a PM.
