People use the term business opportunity very loosely these days. Before the internet took off, a business opportunity was a franchise like McDonalds or Wendys. Or maybe a vending machine route or insurance booth in your local area.

Mainly what people saw as business opportunities was that you had to be an entrepreneur with investment capital to take advantage of an opportunity. So, a business opportunity was something that only someone with money to invest could take advantage of. You had to have money to make money.

Today, thousands of people make money on eBay and through millions of websites that sell everything from wigs to toys, cars, houses, and electronics. There is a business opportunity for every man, woman and child on the planet who has the urge to learn how the Internet works and how many different ways there are to make money.

Some online business opportunities require an investment of thousands of dollars. Others require only that you have a website and hosting for it. $24 a month can set you up with an affiliate business opportunity right now. I even have a free website that I give to people, loaded with products and customized so that you get commission for every sale made on your site.

You don’t have to know HTML. You don’t have to know how to get a merchant account. And above all, you don’t even have to have your own products to begin with. By far the majority of people who make money online do so as affiliates who refer people to products, services and information in exchange for commissions.

This is what I do, and I love it! I don’t have to take care of customers, store products, do any shipping or anything else that involves owning your own products. However, I make a lot of money from it.

Now that’s a business opportunity! Gone are the days when you had to have a lot of money to invest in starting a business. You still can, if you want. But to me it’s crazy that people spend tens of thousands of dollars at their local business, hiring staff, running it, keeping stock and inventory, dealing with rude customers. I don’t mess with ANY of those things and I make more money than most people who DO!

A business opportunity is worthless if you don’t take advantage of it. Most people simply keep their jobs because they don’t trust that they have other options. The people who take action on a great business opportunity are motivated and action-oriented people.

You should be able to work long hours at first and you should be willing to do whatever it takes to learn what business on the web is all about.

If you do, you can become self employed and even extremely wealthy. It’s not for everyone, but by now you know that business opportunities abound on the internet and one is just a click away from you right now!
