A valid question! Making the right decision can sometimes seem like a 50/50 gamble when conducting business with someone for the first time. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur, a new affiliate, an OAP trying to make a little extra money online, or any kind of independent professional wanting to leverage the internet to start, grow or scale your business, you will quickly discover that deciding who to learn from, buy from and/or connect with, requires astute listening skills; good intuition (that includes a good "BS" antenna); as well as the ability to recognize true value when presented with high-ticket offers. But, even if you have all these incredible skills, making the right decision can still be a daunting task if you are just starting your entrepreneurial journey or operating on a shoestring budget. This is where

"Online Side Hustle"-v- "Home-Based Business"
Is there even a difference?
Many people view online side hustles and home-based businesses as one and the same. However, while both can be worked from home, one is typically a long-term entrepreneurial commitment while the other is often a short-term or flexible gig. Bottom line, while most people consider the two terms interchangeable, there are some subtle differences. Read the main characteristics of Online Side Hustles and then flip the card for the main characteristics of Home-Based-Businesses.
ONLINE SIDE HUSTLES
Typically done part-time or along side a main job (not to be confused with a "gig")
Low startup cost and minimal infrastructure
Flexible hours, often done in spare time
Focused on quick income or supplemental earnings
Often solo with little to no outsourcing
Less formal structure (no LLC, minimal branding)
Income may be inconsistent or project-based
Examples: freelancing, MMO opportunities, selling crafts, tutoring...etc.
Easier to start and stop as needed
Limited marketing and customer acquisition
Often presented as "requiring little time & commitment to receive big monetary rewards" but "hustlers" often find this is rarely the case.
Fills a temporary need and is only sustainable long-term for a very small percentage.
A high percentage of MMO opportunities (make money online) are actually "side hustles."
Most side hustles are promoted as "business opportunities" (refer to #13).
There is often limited-to-no loyalty to the company, person or program they work for.
These 15 points are simply a generalized overview. Although the bullet points represent a large number of online side hustles, they certainly do NOT represent them all. A person's results will largely depend on the time, effort & commitment they put forth.
HOME BASED-BUSINESS (when done right)
Boss-free independence
No ceiling on your profits - the sky is the limit - you write your own paychecks
Usually your full-time or primary source of income
Tax write-offs to help you maintain & grow your business
Typically requires investment in tools, branding, systems (especially when first starting)
Requires an ability to think outside the box and pivot as necessary
Focused on long-term growth and scalability
May involve hiring, outsourcing, or partnerships
Ability to employ family members (including your children)
Formal business setup (LLC, EIN, branding, etc.)
Income is tracked, forecasted, and reinvested
Home business examples: e-commerce store, coaching business, health & beauty, agency...
Requires commitment and strategic planning
Must stay focused on marketing, customer retention, and scaling
A great opportunity to create a family legacy or to ultimately sell your business for millions of dollars (depending on your annual net profits, so it is important to keep accurate records).

Are You Using " Voice Search - Near Me " Ads To Serve Your Local Community?
Is your marketing team or marketing person using VRAs?
