There are tons of bad news about swine flu everywhere. People are so scared that they try everything to protect themselves and their families. They are seeking for medicines or vaccine available. But they forgot one important thing: they have to protect their income.

If you could stay away from public areas totally, your chances of being infected would largely be decreased. Most common public areas are shopping malls, superstores, grocery stores, and don’t forget your working places.

Since swine flu comes, you could try to stay away from these common public areas such as shopping malls, grocery stores. But you couldn’t avoid being infected at your working place. If you can start to build your own online business today, it’ll eventually allow you to quit your regular job and totally stay away from swine flu.

We are lucky nowadays because more and more people are access to the internet. There are many online business opportunities to choose from. The thing is to choose the right one for you. But you have to make sure the one you choose is a legitimate business rather than scams.

I’ve listed three online business opportunities for your referrence below.

1. Affiliate business

Pro: You can buy that product first to get to know it first before promoting it. So that you have much higher successful sales. However normally the affiliate program is free to join.

Con: Thousands of affiliates, if not millions, are promoting the same product. You really have to beat them and do much more marketing works to be able to earn enough money from affiliate marketing. And don’t forget, vendors are also your competitors.

2. Sell own products

Pro: You can sell your products on Amazon, eBay, ClickBank, PaydotCom, etc. The list is just go on and on.

Con: You will find there are thousands of other people who may promote their own products or affiliate products which are similar to yours. Especially you just have a new ebook to sell because typically you are selling your ideas and information. The fact is that people now access to many free information. Unless yours are so unique and you have a great marketing strategy, it’s become harder and harder to make profit.

3. A decent online business program

Pro: Usually you can tell whether that business program is legal or not, simply by checking its pay plan. If it does not require you to invest money first to make money, chances are they are decent business opportunities.

You can build residual income and passive income in these businesses. All people tend to share great things with their neighbours, friends, families. Now you have the internet, you can share them with people around the world and get paid for your referring jobs. Isn’t that nice!

Con: Although you will have mentors or leaders to show you how to do it, you have to follow instructions and do something to make it happen. If not, you shouldn’t expect „free lunch“ or you may be in an illegal business program which won’t last long.
