1.What does aSOHO stand for?
aSOHO stands for alternativeSOHO. A different kind of small office home office.

2. Why was the aSOHO created?
To provide a resource for you to learn the keys to your personal success, not just in business, but in life. There are quite a number of websites online that tout various work at home programs and ways to get rich, but very few actually tell you what to do in your own life to realize these changes. The aSOHO wants to give you unadulterated and unbiased information to allow you to make the right decisions for you, your business, your life, and your overall well being.

3. What does the aSOHO hope to do?
To let you know that there is more to success and your happiness than just finding a program that promises to make you millions of dollars. You need to find the right program for you so that you will experience success on deeper levels while enjoying financial independence.

4. Is it true that all the products/opportunities listed on the site are personally tested?
Yes. In order to build trust, the aSOHO will not knowingly recommend something that is not of use or benefit. Because of this, all recommendations for an opportunity or work at home program must personally be reviewed for no less than 30 days and books are read at least twice before it is included. The goal is to provide you with the “fluff free” unbiased information regarding any product, service, or opportunity that is listed on this website. The primary purpose is not profit - it is empowerment and education.

If you have a product or opportunity you would like to have reviewed, don’t hesitate to send a note. Don’t forget to include the relevent information and a download link if it’s an electronic product.
