Side gigs: How do you choose the right one for you?
Things to consider when choosing a home-based business
- Would you be a customer regardless of the business opportunity?
- How long has your company been in business?
- Does your company offer consumable products (things that consistently need replenished)?
- Does your company offer multiple product lines so that you reach a broad demographic? (Does your company have at least one product that your child, spouse, brother, sister, mother, father, grandparent, or neighbor could benefit from?)
- Does your company require a large buy-in?
- Are you required to meet monthly sales quotas to remain active in your business?
- Does your company offer free resources?
- Does your company offer community that gives product support and testimonials?
- How often are new products released – truly new products, not just a change in a pattern or color?
- Does your company pressure you to sell?
- Does your company require that you have inventory?
- Does your company have a philanthropic aspect to it?
- Is your company a fad?
Things to think about
- I would be a customer regardless of the business side.
- The company has a long history of being in business, is the leader in its industry, and offers global opportunity.
- The company offers extensive product lines beneficial to a wide demographic.
- I would not have to maintain inventory.
- I would not be required to meet sales quotas to keep my membership.
