In the 1980’s, business opportunities were given a big boost by long distance telephone services and insurance. By the time the 21st century approached, improvements in technology really gave the industry a huge lift.

Home based business opportunities and technology go side by side very well. One supports the other. People who are interested in having their own business support the idea of combining technology and old fashion salesmanship.

Look carefully before taking a leap of faith.
It is important to think of your interest first when comparing for different kind of business opportunities. Choose one that fits your interests and talents. Do not think that you can be molded to fit others. Examine carefully what you want. Decide on one that fits to your knowledge and background. Sometimes what the company's offerings can be a perfect blend with your life experinces.
It is advisable to start out a home business on a part time basis. By keeping your regular job you can be insure of adequate income to keep your household running.

Re: Web Idea
- Hi Som,
Welcome aboard.
Almost everything that I can add is already mentioned by the ever-active, respected members of the Forum. But I would like to bring it to your attention that whenever we have our idea and nurture it for long, it becomes something like our baby and we are all possessive about that. True. Now the question is that as we are mostly possessive of our idea how far can we go about it? I mean, you say your idea is fresh as morning coffee. True to you but have you researched and actually tried to find out the feasibility part of it? I have also been a programmer and as such I feel that many of the ideas that we have generally look seemingly better in book but when it comes to reality, there is a difference.
So I would recommend you to re-consider the idea. Not as Som but as someone who is a client of the idea. Please step into the shoes and find out whether you would go for the product as a client! If yes, then lets start with doing a market research and the follow up with the other formalities. Reason being that its getting late and the Coffee may lose its freshness!
Good Luck,

45% Business and Marketing charges;
10% Friends (Meeting);
20$ Scientific and Law Books.
But this will change when it is August or September.
