I decided to pick this topic because many of you would like to start an Internet business at home, but like me have no clue of where to get started. I used to be a nanny but to make good money I had to work too many hours a day, so I thought it would be great just to work from home, lots of people do that, right?, that will be the future of this country, everyone just working from home!

Well, I began to search for the best chance, first for the ones "As seen on TV", if they show on TV that means it should work. So, I tried my first Internet business trying to sell some stuff. Of course, when you call and they explain, set up the charge fee, they really don't say exactly what you will need. For instance, I had to pay this certain monthly fee. When all the material got in my hands, I had to call the sponsor, and then, SURPRISE! Now the real money I had to invest if I wanted to succeed. A couple thousands of dollars. They could have told me that at first. Now the only way to go is to get in debt to try to make money. It even could have worked, but where the heck I would find the money, I paid over a thousand just for the
website, but I had to promote it, guess what, no money to advertise, no choice other than to give up, too late though for a refund.

Now broker than ever I decided to search over the Internet, when you have never done that before, every new program you read, some ones you can even join for free, you just think you found the magic pot at the end of the rainbow. So you sign up, read all the testimonies, get all excited, after all, many of them tell you they will do all the work for you. But guess what, after months trying, now not just one but several of them, and you didn't make a penny, invested money to advertise and no results.

I've been doing that, I tried so many, free and paid ones, all kinds of stuff, except selling, because I found out after my first attempt I am far from being good at it. I even read e-mails all day to get paid $0,01 per e-mail read. Don't get me wrong, I believe Internet business from home can work, actually I am still trying, but now I try to learn from successful people first, and get advice. My purpose with this article testimony is to alert you, to let you know that you have a big chance of failure. And if you are like me that have no money to invest it will be much harder to achieve success. Look carefully in all the proposals you will find all over the Internet, find one that you think will be right for you, put some hope into it but have in mind that it may not work the way you thought it would. Don't give up easily but be aware of how you will spend your precious money, don't exceed your limited budget in vague promises. Be wise and think carefully before making any decision.

Internet business it is not all they say it is, it may or may not make you rich. It has potential to do so but you know, those with money will make more money if you have nothing it will be a harder way to go. Just don't be so overwhelmed by everything you read, do what you can do and ask God to do what you cannot do.
