I have been pushing different online businesses since Sept 2014. And the online space is much. No one, even 
Most times the first time we hear of an online opportunity is from a friend or a close relative. Some times we get the opportunity so wrong due to their incompetency to explain it. This reminds me of the story of the three blind men that described an elephant differently by touching different parts such as the tail, the legs and the body.
But after we have decided to be successful in online business the next step is to seek out successful MENTORS who are ready to teach us. At least the first 3 years should be solely focused on learning. Now on choosing mentors, your criteria should be their willingness to help you and not necessarily the most successful mentor you find. After you have learnt so much. You either decide to find a new opportunity or stick with what your mentor is currently doing. From my research of successful people when you are ready, the right opportunity finds you.
I am not one to sit around and wait so I won't advice you to do that as well. That is where TIMING comes in... Here you want a fresh and global opportunity. At least you should be among the first 50,000 persons to be involved.
Now how do you know when to go for timing or mentorship. First if you are just starting out. At least your first year should be for MENTORSHIP. After which you should have made $10,000 or more consecutively before going out for TIMING.
At this point, you will be good enough to even create your own opportunity.
REMEMBER SEEK MENTORSHIP BEFORE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT TIMING.
