This is why the failure rate is so high in this industry. People are there for the emotions not the business. People so often get caught up in the feel good side of the industry they forget why they got started in the first place. For most people they saw an opportunity to make some extra money from home. This is not to say that there are sometimes legitimate reasons to look for a new business. Sometimes there are. The problem is that when you make the move to a new type of business you take yourself with you.

You can find thousands of low cost key words by using the this keyword selector tool and typing in high cost key words such as: “work at home”, “home business”, “internet marketing”, “extra income”, etc. Type those and other similar key words into the keyword selector tool and then look down the list for key word combinations with a “Count” in the left-hand column of 1000 or less (that # is just an estimate). The lower the “Count”, the fewer people who search those key words and the lower price you will pay per click in google AdWords.

Why not jump on the bandwagon like so many others have done before you? A home based business where you are only responsible for yourself and to have no restrictions like bells or timetables or bosses has to be the best possible lifestyle. Make 2009 your year. Any age any person can do this. If you are 15 or 70 you can still make your fortune. It just requires patience and a never ending supply of faith in you and your own abilities. Don’t rely on others, become self-sufficient and you will reap the rewards. I guarantee it.

You can avoid making this mistake by giving yourself plenty of time to make your choice on the right proven business for you. This way you can get your business started right away and concentrate on building it to be successful instead of jumping around and never making any money.
