1. If you're one of the hundreds of thousands of people
looking for a home based business opportunity, you've
come to the right place. Below you will find my reviews on
four opportunities:

2. 1. Speaking Roses: This Company is able to print flowers -
live, fresh flowers! This process can very well be one of the
keys to servicing the various needs of the many markets
that are responding to today's era of personalization.
Speaking Roses provides you with the technical training,
equipment and supplies to be successful in the fast-
growing industry of personalization. Although there is a
fairly steep investment, if you've got the capital and the
interest, this trend makes this a can't miss opportunity.

3. Cost to get involved: $9,900

4. 2. Admats/Admenues - Okay, the first thing I wanted to
know when a colleague suggested I check out this
company was what the heck are a (or an) admats and an
admenus. Not that I got that figured out - admats stands
for "placemats with advertisement" and admenus stands
for "take-out menus with advertisements," I get what this
company is doing. It's all about selling advertisements to
businesses to be placed on restaurant placemats and take-
out menus. Don't know how much time and money they
spent on coming up with that name ($0000.00 would be
too much), but I do believe they offer a legitimate home
based business opportunity. If you would enjoy calling on
restaurants, they claim you can earn $2000 a week.

5. Cost to get involved: $350

6. 3. Friendly Folks, Inc. - These folks are in the business
personalized cartoon gifts. As referenced above, the era of
personalization is upon us and going to get bigger.
Although we actually seem to live in a world of de-
personalization (with the Internet, etc.), tons of people are
trying to personalize their world. Friendly Folks, Inc. is the
most respected and well-established personalized gift
company of its kind in the world, and they're giving you an
opportunity to get involved.

7. Cost to get involved: $995

8. 4. Disability Associates, Inc. - Are you an advocate of the
disabled? Within the next 8 years, statistics show that one
in every four Americans will need assistance when
applying for disability benefits. If this field is something
you would enjoy doing, this may be the right company for
you. Although the investment seems a little heavy to me,
the real reward will come from something you're
passionate about.

9. Cost to get involved: $989-$5,489

10. Looking for a home based business opportunity? I spend
the majority of my days scouring out those opportunities
that I believe are legitimate. I have personally been
scammed by these companies and individuals promoting
their latest "get-rich-quick by working 4-5 hours a week"
schemes. I have a passion for helping others learn from my
mistakes, and my articles are intended for that very
purpose.
