Pills, Potions, and Cell Phones
A lot of home based business opportunities are founded on nutritional products or some sort of health and wellness product. In fact it seems like an overwhelming percentage of home based business opportunities fall under the “Jungle Juice” or “Magic Pill” categories. These kinds of product based businesses generally require the customers to stay on repeat shipping (also called Autoship) for a while in order to make real money.
Now I am not going to say all these products are scams or that they’re no good. In fact, some of them are very good products. But one problem with these kinds of products is customer retention. In economic times like we are in now, those kinds of products are the first thing people think of when they start to think about what to cut back on. That bottle of juice that costs 50 or 75 dollars a month on auto-ship will likely be one of the first things to go.
The Lightyear Wireless based business opportunity is a bit different. Yes, there is a product, but it’s not some exotic juice or some miracle potion. It’s a product that everyone uses: wireless phones and service. And instead of auto-ship on some dubious products, there is a commission to be earned from monthly cellular service. And it’s already been shown that people are not cutting out their wireless service in response to the economy. If there is any shift in the wireless market, it’s to pre-paid wireless service and that’s also part of Lightyear suite of phone services. Lightyear is a great way to start a cell phone business from your home.
