Many brick-and-mortars,
“traditional” franchises may not provide the personal freedom and relatively
low overhead you wish.
Besides the upfront investment of
any franchise, these “traditional” types of franchises, with “storefronts”
(commercial locations) have many high and fixed overhead costs such as
salaries, payroll taxes, rent, inventory, leasehold improvements, large
equipment maintenance, racks, displays, cash registers,
shoplifting/shrinkage issues, common area maintenance, workers compensation
insurance, utilities, fixed hours, staffing schedules, and so on.
Plus, having a commercial location
to operate from, with long or fixed hours may keep the franchisee from
gaining the personal freedom they may have gotten into business for in the
first place.
But that’s not even the bad part.
The potential downside to running a brick and mortar real-world
franchise (whether it’s selling burgers or cleaning floors) is that, in many
cases . . . instead of buying yourself potential personal freedom…
You May Have Bought Yourself A Job.
. .
The one thing you were likely trying
to get away from when you went into business for yourself in the first
place.
You ever look in the eyes of the
owner of your local franchise sandwich shop when he’s making his 600th
sandwich of the day, and has been there 12 hours straight because another
unreliable employee ‘forgot’ to show up for work? Is that freedom? Is that
the lifestyle you want for yourself? Is any amount of money worth that kind
of misery?
eSpider Squad™ doesn’t think so
either… so, what if you could combine the repeatable systems of a
traditional franchise model, with the relatively low overhead and flexible
lifestyle of a home based business?
Home Based Internet Consulting
Business …
What if you could participate in the
potential opportunity of a franchise system—but, without the hassles,
expenses, management of large numbers of employees, renting an
office/storefront, dealing with displays, paying for inventory weeks or
months before you might sell it, repairing equipment, etc. that come with
many franchises…doing virtually none of the boring, back-breaking tedious
work yourself?
What if you could immediately and
affordably get in on the website design/Internet consulting/local search
and paid search engine advertising opportunity, which combined have annual
sales in the billions [1]-- and put yourself in the “toll booth position”
(in the middle of the transactions) between businesses that want to create
successful website endeavors…and the people doing the actual work helping
small and medium-sized business finally get the service they need to
join the Internet marketing big leagues?
And what if all you needed to do all
this was a computer, a car, an Internet connection, a telephone and a
sincere and serious desire to see your clients succeed?
