Regardless of what the advertisements may promise,

finding free work at home projects may be next to

impossible in many lines of work. While many

companies advertise free work from home

opportunities, their definition of free may not be

the same as yours.

A majority of free work at home

opportunities are nothing more than franchise

opportunities, in which you put your name on their

page and promote it. In a lot of ways, this makes

sense. The company has spent a lot of money and a

lot of time developing their web site, along with

the replication software enabling you to have the

same website with your name on it. They have also

spent a lot of time and money developing the

service or product mix for sale on that site.

Like

any traditional franchise, a new entry in the field

can take advantage of the name recognition,

products and reputation of the existing company.

The existing company is selling the exclusive use

of their name and products, in hopes that more

customers will be the result.

The main trouble

with internet businesses is that customers come

from all over the world and if there are 1,000

people with 1,000 websites that all exactly alike,

getting people to visit your site so that you get

credit for sale is where cost may enter the

equation. Sure, you can set up a free blog site and

talk about nothing but the products on your site,

using your unique URL to draw people in. You may

actually get one or two people reading your blog.

Maybe they will visit the site. This is free.

If

you ask any person who has achieved the slightest

bit of success in business, internet or

traditional, they will tell you that advertising or

marketing is required to get people to your website

or into your business. Without it, the only people

who will know about your online business are you

and your service provider, and they won’t care as

long as you pay your fees.

In order to boost your

page’s ranking, you may have to spend some quality

time and money to make your site more attractive to

internet search engines. In business, time is

money, so your free work at home opportunity is

getting more expensive as you go along.

Additionally, many of the companies offering free

websites, amazingly also can recommend a marketing

company to help you get your site noticed. That

will not be free, but the returns from increased

sales may pay for the advertising. Of course, the

company, whose free website you promote, is going

to be an affiliate of the marketing company and

will receive a percentage of your outlay for the

advertising. While there may not be anything

illegal or even unethical about these arrangements,

you should be aware of what you are getting into

before you spend the first dime.
