Because so many 'work at home' opportunities are scams, frauds, or designed to make money – for the plan operators, not you – it's a good idea that before you invest time and especially money on any home-based business offers, you educate yourself on the different types of home work based schemes there are out there, and what to look for – and what to look out for – before making any commitment

The Federal Trade Commission offers several advisories about home-based business opportunities and network marketing (MLM) schemes. Here are a few:

The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.

Here are the main business models you can adopt:

1. Sell products on the Web – Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web.

You can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay

2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or my website PowerHomeBiz.com http://www.powerhomebiz.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:

a. Advertising – whether by joining banner ad networks such as Tribal Fusion, BurstMedia or Fastclick and display the banners on their site; or through contextual advertising such as Google Adsense or Intellxt. Google Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense is a very HOT money making program right now, and we are doing really well with it.

b. Affiliate Programs – you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)

c. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information

d. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere
