If you are looking for a free business opportunity, you are on the same track that millions of others are on searching for financial independence. It seems that everyone is looking for new ways to make some extra money and the first thing they think of is, “How do I find free business opportunities?” Whether it is with a part time job from home or starting your own home business from scratch, there are numerous ways to make money, so long as you have a grasp of how to go about it.

The Best Home Based Business is…

The best home business is a free one. However, free home based business opportunities are difficult to come by, especially if you are looking for legitimate ones from that you can make money with instead of losing money. While legitimate companies to partner with can be found, it usually take s a few tries to find one that will not try to defraud you of your earnings or give you a runaround story as to why you aren’t working correctly to earn the money that they have claimed.

Too good to be True?

Some of the better opportunities for a free work from home jobs and businesses include two characteristics from which you can determine if it is a “problem” opportunity or a good one such as:

• No start up costs. Many “free” home based businesses claim you can make a lot of money if you put out from $50 to $1,000 of “start up money”; money you will never see again. These “start up costs” are what make the people running these frauds rich, and they play you like a puppet on a string because they know you are willing to do anything once you give them the initial payment.
• Monthly fees after the initial “free trial” are a sure sign that your free opportunity is anything but free. If the company’s promotional material for the new business is labeled “free”, then it should be free – not free for a day, free for two weeks or even free for a month. These “free trials’ do almost nothing but lure people into contracts that are nearly impossible to break; all the while they have your credit card number and continue to charge you monthly fees because you did not follow their “cancellation procedures” properly. These types of programs make their procedures difficult to navigate hoping you will not figure them out and remain enrolled until you report them, but by then it is too late to get your money back.

Many people try their hands in anything just to make a few dollars, including survey sites, cash mail order clubs, etc. – you name it, they will try it. This is because many people do not realize how easy it is to get trapped into thinking someone who is trying to help you is only trying to get rich themselves instead. Any time you think that you have found the perfect free home based business opportunity, always read the fine print to see what you are really getting into.

With the future of education in limbo and everyone drawing lines in the sand and picking sides, it seems there is enough chaos and controversy to fill up a 1000 newspapers with articles about how we ought to be running our education system. Whereas, we as Americans all seem to agree on the importance of education, it appears to be the getting everyone on the same pages as to how to get there which may never be agreed upon, in fact, I bet you’d agree to all this so far right? Good, so let’s talk.

Think about all the sub-topics available for education article writing, you can write about getting admitted to the college of your choice, choosing which college to attend, and the need for stronger education in subjects of math and science. You can also talk about controversial topics such as the political correctness, socialism slant, and left-leaning professors indoctrinating students in college. And if you do like contentious issues, education is full of them, here are some more things that I’ve written on and you can too:

Vouchers
School Sports
Homeschooling
For-Profit Colleges
College Tuition Costs
Student Loan Problems
Special Education Needs
English As a Second Language
Rote Memorization and Creativity
Standardized Testing and the NCLB Law
Teachers Unions, Pay, Legacy Costs, Tenure
Textbooks Versus Digital E-Textbook in the Future

Indeed, I would urge all online article writers as the 2012-2013 school season begins to put forth your very best articles on these topics and topics of a similar vein. Education is on everyone’s mind, and not just because it is an election year, because it very much has to do with the future of our nation. We are only as good as our schools were 20 years the prior. If we mess up our education, we will have hell to pay, and we will find ourselves nothing more than a footnote in the annals of history of great nations which once were.

Keeping the topic of education at the top of our list in our society guarantees that we will continue to put energy in the right spot and as our civilization becomes more technologically advanced we need well-trained, well-schooled, and highly educated people to run it. Just because in the future the robots may be doing all the work, or our education system may be completely be online that doesn’t mean we don’t need educated folks to make it work. We definitely will.

It is my hope that you will please consider all this and think on it, and put in your two cents when it comes to education, let’s hear about your ideas, innovations, and new concepts to take this great nation forward.
