I have been an advocate of online shopping from the moment I was online back in 1988 before internet went commercial. I started on AOL and discovered the power of the internet as one of the first moderators on AOL on forum similar to this one. I volunteered my time as all moderators do, and given my diverse business background, and the enjoyment in helping others, I ended up taking one of my traditional businesses to the internet and saw an explosion in business with not nearly the same overhead of traditional businesses.
Needless to say, I was hooked, and just as I had diversified by business portfolio offline, I found it much easier and more profitable to take all my businesses online, and ever since, I have never looked back. I operate all my businesses from home now, no overhead, no employees, no hassles, this should be everyone's goal for there is not many businesses which cannot be operated from home computer.
Since I research them all, the one I had helped launch back in '95 was home grocery store. The timing was not right for most people were not yet online, but it was a growing trend, so having always felt this was one day going to be mainstream, I kept the concept alive. As luck would have it, my old friend who first introduced this concept also kept the dream alive and now that everyone is online, the timing couldn't be better.
Online grocery store is going to explode, especially in a recession like this, so My Harvest America is now online, and the prices are incredible as we source from warehouse direct to home cutting out distribution markups, and given everyone eats, what could be better than an online grocery store? Having researched thousands of businesses over the years, I was always ahead of trends, and this was the case with online groceries, but knowing markets, this is going to explode, and already has.
Simply put, who likes to spend a couple hours fighting the crowds on Saturday when most people grocery shop? Sure, we all need last minute items, but we also purchase the same items over and over weekly or monthly, same *****s, same amount, this is consistent with everyone, so what could be more convenient than having these items delivered to your door for free for less than you are spending for the same name *****s you purchase over and over again. Sure makes sense to me. lol
Bottom line, online shopping is booming, just look at Amazon sales figures to see this, and with most people now finally comfortable with online transactions, this was a far cry from when we first introduced this concept in '95. When it comes to home businesses, what could be easier than sharing a concept that everyone is interested in, saving money, saving time and eliminating the hassles of grocery store shopping for your staple items, canned goods, soaps, detergents, paper goods, pet foods, all those items you purchase on regular basis can all be sent to your home weekly making your trip to local market a quick in and out picking up meats or fresh of frozen vegetables as example.
When I evaluate a business, I look at several aspects, and being ahead of a trend is one of the most important attributes I look for. The aging population is one trend well defined, and how many people do you know who cannot drive or spouse has passed on and they are alone and afraid to go shopping. We all know what this economy is doing to crime rates in many areas, so grocery shopping is not as safe as it once was, even in the daytime. Petty hit and run crimes of stealing purses in shopping carts is exploding, so you have to be more careful as unemployment rates rise and recession gets worse. I predict more people will be stealing your groceries instead of purse in the near future as food prices continue to rise.
I love evaluating new businesses, and there is little I don't know about the grocery industry, and what we will see is an explosion in online grocery shopping over the next decade, just as we have seen traditional shopping move to the internet for most, so why not groceries? If you can save money, plus get the same Kellogg's cereal, or whatever ***** you like, and you can get it delivered to your door for less, who wouldn't be interested? Seriously, I have been asking everyone I know what they think about saving money, time and hassle of grocery shopping, and every single one wants to try it.
We are entering an era of frugality, and everyone is being impacted by the recession and collapsing economy. I don't know anyone who doesn't want to save money, do you? I don't know anyone who doesn't eat, do you? lol As you can see, this is about as perfect as any home based business can be. If you cannot offer value you won't be in business, and when you check out MHA prices, you will see what I saw. Just one example, I like Rachael Ray's new Nutrish dog food and I have a long drive of 17 miles to nearest grocery store, and they don't always have it in stock, so now I can have it delivered weekly and not have to worry about switching when I cannot find it in stock.
I like name *****s for the most part, but in a recession people will try so called off *****s to save money, sometimes it works out, sometimes you waste money when you don't like taste of generic *****s. I am sure everyone can relate to this experience. In the case of dog food, my dog is as picky as I am. lol Rachael Ray's product is similar to Iams, but costs less, and she donates all profits to pet rescue organizations, so I want to support this, and MHA fortunately has this *****. I was paying $11.70 to $13.20 for the same size bag locally, and guess what, it was only $6.16 online in MHA store. That is almost half off, amazing and with free shipping, I can order up to six in one order, enough for several months if I want.
Bottom line, everyone wants to save money, and most want the name *****s they are use to eating or using, I know I do and I feel most people are like me in this regard. Sure, I tried a few off *****s, and sometimes you will find same product as national ***** due to fact they are made in same food processing plant. Yes, it is true, you can save money if you know which *****s are also packaged under generic store *****. Doesn't everyone like to pass on a good deal to friends and family? Remember, with MHA you are not selling, you are telling, so when it comes to home business side of MHA, this is about as easy as it gets.
If you are looking for the perfect home based online business, one which everyone will save money, everyone will save time and everyone will make money, this is it. With low start up costs combined with low membership and distributor plan, I cannot think of but three online businesses which are less to start, TamPogo and MySocialIncome are both free which I also promote. MHA rounds out my top three best home business review list because they meet and exceed my criteria of saving money even without the income opportunity, a rare situation to say the least.
Success to all, Mike
