Does Your Exciting Business Opportunity Pass the Test?

Have you ever heard about a business opportunity and wondered if it was something you should mull overfor your involvement?
With the economy down, many people are thinking about starting a home based business. Is there a set of guidelines to help you to separate the diamonds from the dust?
Over the last twenty years, I have developed a criteria for evaluating home-based business opportunities that I hear about. If you knew me, you would know that I have not typically been a fan of the network marketing movement.
Here is the "Test" that I have used in evaluating any business opportunity that has come my way in the last 20 years or so. See if you agree.
Test for Home Based Business Opportunities
· Does the product do something uniqueand revolutionary?
· Are there low start up costs?
· Does the product have an exclusive market niche?
· Is the management team organized and ready to go?
· Has the company had time to development some marketing materials so new members can start quickly?
· Does the compensation plan reward new members fairly?
· Is the product something I am proud to tell others about?
· Does the product have media support?
· Is the market unmarked so I can be the first person to tell others about it?
· Can new members can get superior placement in the organization?
· Does the company allow some approved online marketing?
· Is the product reasonably priced so a person can buy every month?
· Has the product been carefully tested and supported by real scientific investigation?
· Does the product work in the way it is alleged?
· Does the product afford a solution for a greater part of the population?
· Are the ingredients of the product natural and safe?
· Are the people of the organization honest and ethical?
· Does the product have the capability for dramatic sales volume?
· Is the company prepared for rapid sales growth?
· Has the product been around long enough to test its safety and effectiveness?
· Is it easy to explain to people how the product can assistthem?
· Is the product needed by all age groups and economic levels?
By now you are likely wondering, "Could anything pass all these tests? If so, it would be something very special." That's true. A product like that would essentially change the playing field in which it operates and be worth a hard second look. In that case, even a hardened skeptic (like me) should take a second look, regardless of the manner the founders have chosen to market it.
