Actually, anyone who promises that you will make money period, may be promising something they can't deliver.

I once thought almost anyone who wasn't afraid to sell could make money in my business, specialty advertising. But, a couple wanna-bees proved me wrong. I spent time answering the questions by phone, email, etc. When they told me how the tried to sell, and I suggested other (better) methods, they wouldn't listen. They blamed me and my company because it didn't work for them.

So, while I point out that it is a great opportunity, I make sure to emphasize that it isn't for everyone.

As others have stated here in this thread, and many times before, look for something that interests you, and you will find it easier to put for the time, effort, and energy.

As an example, there are some pro fishermen that make it look easy, but others could use the same bait in the same waters and find themself starving for lack of success. Most of those pros wanted to spend more time fishing, so followed their heart's desire and turned their dream into a career.

Selling b2b, working with many of the same clients on a regualr basis has made my work enjoyable for most of the 20+ years I've been in this business.

This forum is a great place to see some ideas and businesses that have worked for others. Many are earning extra income from a home-based business, while a few of us are full-time self-employed.

Warning: Many hobbies that people enjoy don't necessarily lend themselves to generating serious income. But, it never hurts to investigate the possibility.

Best of luck in finding something that will work for you.

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)

        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!"
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.
        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.
        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
