1. The kind of business

Some examples – selling e-books, affiliate businesses, freelance writing, and freelancing in general, are just a few.

3. Effort needed

As a home business opportunity seeker you may experience time limitations and not be able to give full attention to running your business. You might have a full-time job, or could be a busy consultant who needs to make some extra money. So be realistic about your schedule so you will not be disappointed if progress is slow. Reserve the energy needed to launch your business.

4. Break even point

No matter what your business, your goal is ultimately to make money. You need to calculate how much time, effort and funds necessary to reach that break even point where you earn as much as you need out of this business.

5. Full time or part time
