A Review: The IAHBE

IAHBE Review

I have been a member of the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs (IAHBE) for 3 years now and have found it to be an invaluable resource for the latest home business related news, tutorials, tips software and books, as well as a great way to get your hands on a number of valuable books, audios and software for free!

The IAHBE was launched back in January 2002 and has thousands of members from all over the world.

Here is a brief FAQ of the IAHBE to help you decide whether or not it is the right home business resource for you.

What are the benefits of an IAHBE membership?

The general benefit of the IAHBE is the huge wealth of information and resources for your home business. Your membership includes the following:

1) An Intropak worth over $1000
Everyone who joins the IAHBE receives a pack of information, gifts and discounts worth over $1000. At the time of writing this includes:

2) Access to the IAHBE Learning Center
This is a huge password protected collection of articles, audio tutorials, seminars, home business E-Books, software for PCs & Macs, marketing courses and various other tools to help you with your home business and it includes both US specific information and international information.

The IAHBE membership also includes physical freebies each month. For example, this month the membership included a book worth $26 “The New Culture of Desire” by Melinda Davis and a year’s subscription to the magazine “PC Magazine” worth $131!

Are there any drawbacks?

Although the majority of the resources in the IAHBE membership can be used by anyone regardless of their location, the free magazine subscriptions are generally only available to US residents and the free books have a higher shipping charge for those who are not based in the US. Despite this, there is still enough there for international members to make their membership worthwhile.

What is the cost?

The cost of the IAHBE membership is only $29.95 per month. If you are a member of SFI this will also qualify you as an Executive Affiliate (EA) for the lifetime of your membership.

Are there any guarantees?

There is a 30 day money back guarantee. If you don’t like what you see you can just cancel your membership within 30 days, no questions asked and receive a full refund.

How do I sign up?
