So there you have it! Starting a home business can be much easier than you think. While most direct sales companies are generally the same, each runs their business just a little differently than others.
If you're considering starting a home business for some extra money for your family, I would suggest checking out each company to see what they sell and to see if something interests you and the circle of friends you have. Then contact a few people from the companies you're interested in so you have an idea of who you'd like to sign up under. Your success can be very dependent on who your upline is!
In a few months I'll be publishing a post on the tax benefits of having a home business, so keep an eye out for that!
