Free work from home jobs and opportunities are abundant in a recession. Work tends to pay too little and people search for new ways to supplement or replace their income. Unfortunately the need to save money leads to desperation in seeking free or low cost start ups. 

The internet has become a serious draw card for those in search for these free or low cost home based job or business opportunities. There are currently over 100 000 searches for work from home jobs, careers, business on Google alone. Despite the overwhelming interest in entrepreneurial success online, the success rate is very low. 

Is the low success rate linked to the products themselves? Possibly. The biggest contributor to online failure of free home based businesses is people get deluded with the free part and fail to realise the large amount of work needed to get going and making money. 

Another contributor is the lack of patience and perseverance to make the whole process idiot proof. It is very simple to make money. It is also hard to make money because the process of simplifying eludes some of us. We are all trained to believe that it takes great intelligence to succeed, but that is only true when one is interested in becoming a professional.  

Schools churn out people who are ready to supply the work force, the middle class. If schools concentrated on bringing out company makers and not company runners then economy structures would be vastly more resource independent and production related. 

When the middle class was created to placate the masses who wanted to learn to read, write and own land; the rich agreed only if the education system would work to create an abundant skilled force for them. Have you wondered what the majority of your high school friends are doing? Well they are every bit as successful as you are, they are working for somebody else. 

Working for somebody is presumed safe and secure. I do not believe so. The smartest guy or girl at your high school is very much likely to be working for somebody else or self employed as a professional. 

To become a self made money maker takes only a bit of common sense and the ability to act on that common sense. If you come up with an idea to exploit an opportunity, you have to find a way to execute the idea without getting yourself in jail and then do it. Those people who hesitate will always hesitate when a home based opportunity stares them directly in the face. 

Those who act will soon learn by their mistakes, what they have to learn and move on to some other home based business opportunity that will make them money. 

I have failed to act on some home based work opportunities and had to watch other people rise and become rich because of they acted in time. If I acted I would have the money, if it failed then I would have way more wisdom than standing on the sidelines paralysed with fear. 

My advise to you would be, Act now, leave the fear for those who are still commuting to work.
