Home Business

Home Business Market Growing Fast

Did you realise that home-based businesses on the Internet

are one of the fastest growing employment sectors in the

US, even during economic down turns.

Will the developed world follow the trend?

According to the U.S. Department of Labour there are over

20 million work-at-home businesses and it is projected that

half the population will be working in part from home by 2025.

Just over half of small business owners operate some type of

home based business opportunity. Money magazine recently

reported that between 10 and 15% of home-business owners

make a gross revenue of 100K-500K. However, most people

in developed countries seem oblivious to this trend and consider

traditional jobs as the only option for earning an income.


There is no shortage of online business opportunities.

From using software tools to invest in stocks, to selling on

Ebay or putting up affiliate sites. There are hundreds of ways

to establish an online business presence. However it is wise

to do your home work and be wary of the get rich quick schemes

that generally don’t have a consumable product or involve a

technology that will soon be superseded.

Like any other business, success is dependent on acquiring

knowledge and hard work. The advantages are that entry into

an online business is inexpensive and the work hours are flexible.

With such a small risk, more and more people are finding it worth a try.

Most Australians do not retire with enough money to live

the lifestyle they want and deserve. Could an online business

be the solution for you to secure your future?
