Turnkey Internet Business

A turnkey internet business is a great opportunity for Christians, and others, seeking self employment but who don't have the time, desire, or skills necessary to plan, organize, and start a money-making venture from the ground up. One benefit of a turnkey franchise is that it comes complete with everything needed to get started: supplies, equipment, training and support. Those buying an internet franchise are relieved of the logistical worries of developing the procedures and policies themselves. And living without worry is what the Lord desires for each person. The book of Matthew says not to worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself. However, reduced stress and worry has a price. In addition to the startup costs, some services collect monthly maintenance fees, and the franchise owner takes a cut of the profits.

Basically, there are two types of turnkey internet business opportunities. The first is actually selling and marketing a specific product, which is more costly than the second option: promoting and selling the services of another person or group. That's because it's very expensive to manufacture, market and distribute a product. In today's world economy the cost of raw material used in manufacturing is always in fluctuation, as are the energy needs to move the product. Manufacturing is generally not done locally and often needs the financial backing of a larger company. On the other hand, a quick search of the cyber world suggests that a turnkey internet business can be bought to promote and sell just about any type of service with little startup cost: computer services of all types, cleaning services, repair services, employment services, and even dating services. 

Those considering buying into a turnkey internet business should keep a few things in mind. First, he or she must remember that they will merely be running or operating an already established business. The upside is that the business is already well grounded and profitable. If there is no proof of success then prospective buyers should look elsewhere. On the downside, turnkey operators give up freedoms and creativity they would enjoy, if they owned the business outright. Owners selling turnkeys are basically selling the opportunity to share their success. Also, in order to continually increase profits, more and more people must be recruited to sell the service or product.

Owners work hard to protect what they have already established. The term turnkey internet business is aptly phrased. Equate it to being handed the keys along with the responsibility of managing a hotel, resort, or store. Ownership rests with another person. But lack of skill, ineptness, or incompetence on the part of the manager property can be lost or severely damaged. Reputations can also be irreparably damaged. As a result, people selling franchises place restrictions on new owners. For example, a franchise owner sets policy concerning what products can be sold or what services can be provided under the company name. A franchise agreement can also dictate customer service guidelines. As the Bible says, being zealous is fine, but be aware of any restrictions agreed to at the time a turnkey contract was signed. Know the fine print, and just as with any contract or agreement that involves a monetary investment a turnkey internet business should be investigated thoroughly. Not only should the franchise itself be scrutinized, but a person must know what he or she is capable of doing themselves. Success is not guaranteed, simply because everything is prepackaged and ready to launch. Basic business acumen is required to make it all work. 

Affinity groups, people with common interests or goals acting together for a specific purpose, are beginning to realize the benefits of marketing and selling their own products and services through a turnkey internet business. Conservation groups are marketing and selling "green" products and services. Christians are a large and powerful affinity group and adhere to Biblical principles in running their businesses. For example, most will not work on Sundays. Some owners, although they don't provide religious products or services, hold weekly devotional or prayer meetings. The marketing of Jesus is growing in popularity, so the proliferation of faith-based ventures has been tremendous. 

Another prime benefit of a turnkey internet business is that one can get started with little money. A turnkey can be bought into with less than $200 and $20 per month payments. Anyone investing in this particular franchise earns a commission for each person he or she directly recruits. Then if their recruits bring new people into the business they earn a secondary commission. And commissions on product sales are earned. Training and support is also included in the deal. Everything is provided to start earning money. Prepackaged systems are great but don't put complete trust in them. And, if one does make money, remember the source of all wealth. "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy." (1Timothy 6:17) There are too many variables to guarantee success. To a large extent the amount of money to be made depends directly on how many new owners are recruited into the system. That is a finite number. The commission on product sales can be as low as five percent. Overall, a turnkey opportunity is good for a person who wants a startup without many of the hassles of traditional business. Proverb says the Lord brings wealth without trouble.
