Hello cdpaine!
There are a lot of opportunities in the internet. However, talking from my personal experience, most of them are scams and are not worth even having a look at them.
Also, be very careful when listening to promises. Read linda's article http://www.work-at-home-forum.com/viewtopic.php?p=514#514 to see what you should look for in a company.
I have joined a large company and have been amazed with how well organized they are.

Hi cdpaine,

What do you love doing? What would you gladly do if you worked 12 hours a day for ME and I paid you nothing?

If you can figure that out, it will be a good start for you Smile

Use what you love doing and create a business out of it. It could be anything, really.

Hi,

How can your knowledge be presented to the ordinary guy like me? Is there anything you can teach me regarding boat building or wood working in general. Do you have any special techniques / ideas that you have been praised for?

I don;t know much about wood working, but i think the regular guy would not want to build a boat as it sounds like too much hassle. How about boat repairs, boat modifications/ renovation, boat customization, custom boat painting ect to go along with that?

Just bouncing an idea off you. You should be the expert at this Laughing

Jim Rohn (my shi-fu) says that "Service to many leads to Greatness". SO find a way that your valuable knoeledge can be applied to the masses.

I think you can have a very good market and very good product of your own.

Hi,
I would think that you have alot of time indoors to be cruising
on the internet researching legitimate home businesses seeing
as maine is a pretty cold place?

My suggestion to you is to research affiliate programs that
are proven and respected.They must also offer training
to their affiliates and strong support for all affiliates.

There are some Legitimate Home Businesses out there,We
all also know that there are alot of scams out there.Which
makes it hard to find a home business that you can truly
profit from.

My suggestion is first do your research.My next suggestion
is to join a few FREE TO Join AffiliatePrograms that will let you
market their products or services and will still pay you
a commission on your sales as a Free Affiliate.

This way you will see if the program is for you and if this is
an Affiliate Program that you feel comfortable with than you
will have the choice to upgrade your membership to make
higher commissions and monthly residuals.

You are cutting out the risk factor this way.But not completely
because you will still need to advertise to make sales on the
internet.

But I have found that this is the best way to test Legitimacy of
a online business without losing money.

Also I would suggest joining as many Free to join affiliate Programs
that meet your approval and this way you can test multiple
money making programs to see which generate the most
commissions and sign ups for you.

But 1 thing to remember with Affiliate Programs is that they
can be very Profitable.But in order to become successful
at any Online Opportunity it is going to take Time,Effort and
some investment on your part.

There is no such thing as a"Get Rich Quick Program On The Internet"

Warmest Regards
Chris Peterson Very Happy

Well said, Chris.
Anyone who tells you different either hasn't been there and is a fool, or is just lying to get you into a scheme or scam.

I see you use one of Stone's PIPs sites yourself, so have the best advice and backing and are well on your way to making a success yourself.

The reason I know this is because I clicked to see Chris's site, to see what it is he is using. It was his well written words that prompted me to do this, that piqued my curiosity.

This is something sadly missing from a lot of people who use forums these days.
