The only thing that exists in a traditional franchise that is not present in a home-based business is the huge franchise fee
. When you couple the power of the home-based business model with the meteoric rise of free marketing strategies on the internet such as facebook, twitter, and youtube just to name a few, you will be in the right place at the right time. Considering the state of the U.S. economy, with people getting laid off every time you turn around and the stringent requirements of the banking system with respect to those looking to start a traditional business, a home-based business opportunity is the way to go. I hope that you will take a leap of faith and join the home-based business industry, we would love to have you.
