To make an Opportunity really work for you, you have to find the right Opportunity. In the words of Mark Twain, you have to find out where other people are going and get there first.

Let’s first look at what an income making opportunity should have as its characteristics in order for you to be able to make money whether you’re working or not!

You must be able to: 1. Easily receive all the materials and support you need to succeed for the fraction of the cost of opening and supporting a real storefront or franchise!

2. Run the business from your home if you want, part-time, spare-time or full-time, without any prior work experience or employees!

3. Offer a truly unique service that everyone wants as soon as they see it, that is literally in its Infancy and has a virtually unlimited upside potential.

4. Be backed by a strong company with strong support and leadership.

5. Have the ability to create solid income coming month in and month out, whether you’re there or not!

6. Be involved in an emerging and gigantic marketplace that is growing and with no end in sight!

7. Provide a service that has little or no competition, and is the first player in the new category of business!

8. Have more than one way to make money to further multiply your income!

9. Sell something that is so hot it sells itself!

10. Receive cheques over and over from every account you established for as long as the accounts remain active!

One of the best ways to market a product is online using a network of people allowing you to reach a global audience. Think about it, the reason Hotmail, Yahoo and even AOL became so big was because of viral marketing - one person sending an email to another person and so on. Today Yahoo has over 170 million email accounts, with MSN boasting about the same. All created through word of mouth. But did you ever make any money from Yahoo, MSN or AOL? Did they ever give you an opportunity to make money while using their services? Also this creates a powerful network marketing system designed to generate great wealth for those who participate in a Multi Level Marketing program, rather than paying the profits to the Wall Street few.
