They say that pornography makes up half of the content on the internet. It seems like the other half largely made up of scams and shady business opportunities. There are legitimate real home business opportunities out there, quite a lot actually, but how can you be sure you are looking at one. Here are a few tips that will help you with your search.

The business opportunity must be PRODUCT DRIVEN. There must be a highly desirable product, one that YOU will want to use, around which the business opportunity is built, otherwise, it is just a money shuffle and will have no long term staying power. This will provide both a retail market and an affiliate market for you to grow your business. It is helpful, but not necessary, if the product was a stand alone product before a business opportunity was attached to it. This shows a track record for the product.

The company behind the product and business opportunity needs to be transparent. You want to be able to take a good look at the company and its history to determine the integrity of the company and if you would feel comfortable representing it. If you want to run your business with integrity, then your opportunity must have integrity.

The pay plan…the almighty pay plan. There are so many complicated, hard to follow, even harder to explain pay plans when there doesn’t need to be. This is your life blood so find one that is simple and easy to understand (look up Perpetual Leverage for a good example of this).

This next one is just a fact of life; to be a real home business it will require you to work. There is no free lunch (sorry for the cliché). I’m not talking about 40 hours per week; you should be able to get started with 10 to 15 hours per week. There will be things that you will be able to OUTSORCE which will make your 10 to 15 hours more productive, but a real home business can not be fully automated, it must be worked.

With these guide lines and some due diligence you should be able to come up with several good choices that you feel comfortable with. Your work is not done, however. You need to find a mentor, someone who you connect with and is already successful, to teach you how to market your new business and, more importantly, market yourself. A good mentor is absolutely essential to your success and the most important piece to this puzzle. If you fall short here, it will be difficult to recover from. Good luck in your search.

There are many reasons why people are ecstatic about creating their own product line of olive oil.

One reason is its growing market. As people become more aware of the benefits brought by it, the demand is steadily increasing. The fact that you can find olive oil as an ingredient in almost any healthy product, any entrepreneur would really be tempted to join the industry.

Another reason is passion. Health gurus and beauty bloggers are just a few of the people who love olive oil, and incorporating their passion into their business is never a bad idea, right?

So before you start choosing and calling your private label olive oil supplier, here are the top three most important things you should do first:

Study the Market

Regardless if you already own a business or are just starting up, you should study first your target marketplace.

Who would possibly buy it? Can your market afford to purchase extra virgin olive oil? The best customers are those who won’t mind paying a high price as long as the product is worth it. But this is not the only factor you should consider.

Price Competition

Knowing the current prices on the market will serve as your guideline in choosing the right supplier in terms of the pricing of bulk orders.

You can also determine how much profit you can gain, and how competitive you can be in the market. More importantly, since you are creating a privately labeled line, make sure that your price can compete with the branded ones.

Qualify the Suppliers

Truth is, the olive oil industry is quite a small niche, so you will want your product to stand out.

Basically, you can really stand out if you choose the right packaging. Packaging includes the style of the bottle, how much of it you want in a single bottle, and also, the creativeness of the whole packaging concept.

But the question is, can the manufacturer achieve this kind of packaging?

There are a lot of suppliers, but if you think that you can just pick the right one up easily, think again. The right supplier should, above all, catch up on your vision for your products.

For example, the best private label olive oil supplier are those who have sample packages ready but also welcomes their clients’ ideas and desired characteristics. There are even companies that will send a virtual sample for their clients to see how their order will look like. This kind of flexibility gives ultimate freedom for the clients to own their product.
