The immediate question when looking at a home base business is normally if you want to do it on your own, or do you want a partner involved.

 

Lets look at some scenarios.

 

If you are thinking of a service delivery type of business:

Lets take a example: Home Cleaning Business

With labour laws and other issues with having a full time cleaning staff, it is sometimes so much better to have a company that can do your household duties and cleaning for you.

If you have a service delivery company, you will need staff, equipment, logistic issues, transport and a few other things on your hand.  Do you feel it will be wise to do this on your own or will a partner be a welcome asset?

In this case, a partner will probably be wise to have as this type of business will suck you in and you will have no free time, one of the things that originally attract you to a home base business.

Lets look at another example and opportunity: Internet Driven Business

 

Do you think you need a full time partner with this type of business or can you do this on your own?

Lets look at a specific example: You have a Blog where you give advise to people on your Niche or expertise. It can be anything. You also sell a book you’ve written or are a affiliate for somebody else who wrote a book or have a training program that can sell and be downloaded without a drop and ship company involved.

 

In this example, you can probably do it on your own. The times where you need some help, you can get this from a freelancer that specialize in that area, another type of Home Base Business opportunity.

 

You see the opportunities are endless, everyone have a talent that they can use to create a business.

 

I know and understand that sometimes you need to succeed immediately and immediately have a income, that’s OK. You need to understand that you have to live in the moment, that is your starting point. Look at the opportunities that is created from that moment. Try and relax, have some quiet time on your own and make a list of things you feel you can do. Don’t judge the list, just write down what comes in your mind.

 

Now take that list and start scrutinize and see if there is something that can give a immediate relieve of your financial situation and work from that point. A service delivery type of business is most probably the type of opportunity that can give income within a month or two.

 

Well next time we will discuss the financial commitment and what you can do as a temporary solution till you have a steady income from your new Home Base Business.

 

Till next time, stay well.

Welcome again, today I want to make sure you are aware of a couple of need to know issues before you start your home base work, or starting to make money from home.

 

When deciding on what you want to dowhen looking at home base business opportunities, you need to look at the following:

 

 

  1. Why do you want to have a home base business?
  2. You want to do it solo, or with a partner?
  3. Will it be a brick and mortar type of business or Virtual?
  4. How much finance do you have?
  5. Do you need more finance and where can you get finance?
  6. How much risk do you want to take?
  7. What will be your end result?
  8. What qualities do you need as an entrepreneur?
  9. What are your interests?
  10. Do you need coaching or a Mentor?

 

I think I should stand still at a topic and discuss it so you can get a clear idea of what you need to know. If you already know these things, lets see this as a revision or maybe you can comment and give the rest of my readers more tips.

 

Why do you want to have a home base business?

 

  • Cut on Traveling time
  • Cut on Traveling cost
  • Clothing expenditure
  • No more expensive “need to have” gadgets because you need to compete with a colleague
  • More time with your family
  • Be able to be with children and spouse while also be in “office”
  • Create free time when you need it
  • No more specific office hours
  • Can take vacation when you can schedule it
  • Be able to create passive income
  • You can create a virtual office and always be available anywhere in the world
  • Be in control of your income
  • Be financially free
  • Cannot be fired from employment
  • You are in control of the economy, not outside forces

 

There is probably much more things, but lets stop here.

 

What is the negative sideof having a home base business:

 

  • No work, no pay
  • You work much longer hours
  • Most of the time, you take your work home
  • Family interfere just when you can’t afford it
  • You start loosing your contacts
  • If you are solo, you loose contact with the real world

 

I still love what I’m doing, so the negative side is something you need to deal with on your own way.

 

The freedom it create, is what counts for me. I’m in control of my destiny.

 

Next time we will discuss reasons why solo is good and why its good to have a partner. Depends on the type of business.

 

Till next time, stay well.

Welcome back. You’ve come to the right place if you look for some home base business opportunities and I want to make sure everyone finds the niche he/she feels attracted to. Everyone of us have a purpose in life, not everyone can do the same things, we are all unique and therefore what works for me, might not work for you.

Today I want to discuss a few typical “home base opportunities” Don’t see this list as final list, there is plenty of things out there that you can do. Obviously, there is also quite a lot of scams out there and a lot of people got hurt, not just financially but also to a point where they will rather stick to working for others, even if they hate what they are doing.

 

 

  • Internet
  • Buy and Sell
  • Property
  • Forex
  • Stock Trading
  • Services

 

OK so lets discuss how we can make a income from our “ work from home” business:

There is unfortunately always some work that needs to be done, before we can start, even and sometimes more so when working from home.

 

You need an entity to work in. This can be one of the following:

 

  • Sole proprietorship
  • Partnership
  • C Corporations
  • LLC
  • Trust

 

I will suggest you contact a lawyer to help you setup your entity as it differs from state to state, country to country. You need to find a entity that you feel comfortable in. I prefer a trust. Main reason is that the company can go on the day I’m not there any longer without any change, I’m just a trustee and can be replaced. Obviously I cannot be voted out while I’m still alive.

 

You need to find a work place where you can work without the family have to crawl over you to go their way. I’ve converted a part of my garage into a office and it works well for me.

 

You need office furniture and office equipment, stationary, a phone line, fax and Internet capabilities.

You need some startup capital for above, but don’t overspend and buy the latest and greatest, you can start with low budget equipment and move up once you have a income.

 

Well think about above, where will you fit in and how can you start. Next time I want to discuss a bit more about why it is good to work from home and what you will need, to find the perfect home base business opportunity.

Till next time, stay well.

We all come to a point where we need to make a choice in our careers. Do we choose to be employed and work for a company, or do we start our own business, working for ourselves, looking for “work from home opportunities” Both choices has it advantages and disadvantages.

 

The biggest problem that most of us face is that we are in the wrong career. When we started it was all fun and exciting but as we moved around in our career, maybe for better pay packages, the fun that we started with, disappear and we are stuck in a position where we cannot live our dreams. If you are in such a position, you have come to the right spot.

 

There is plenty of work from home opportunities that each and every one of us can do. You can start part time and as things progress, you can reach a position where you can make money from home, a real home base business. The advantages are good, if you like to be around your family, be involved in their day-to-day lives.

There are also disadvantages, and a few to mention is that you are your own boss, no work no pay. You need to be very disciplined and need to focus on what you do.

I’ve mentioned this in a previous post, but feel it good to mention again. This is a slogan that you have to adapt when you’ve chosen the work from home route.

 

F.O.C.U.S

F = find a project that can move you towards your goal

O = Occupy yourself with nothing else

C = concentrate on the tasks that make up the single project

U = understand that nothing is more important than that project

S = succeed

 

Above I got from a Internet Entrepreneur, that wrote a great book called  “5 bucks a day” and it concentrate on getting small amounts consistently.  I will suggest this book for any entrepreneur, does not matter in what direction you make you income.

 

Well next time we can touch some income streams you can look at and see if this is the way to go in your strive to find a good home base business opportunity

I got a question from one of my readers:

Can you really create passive income from the internet or is it just a scam to make you buy some e-books or courses?

Well to answer this one was easy, I said “yes you can”. But then In thought about it for a while and decided that it probably is best to have a blog about this topic.

What is passive income?

When you get a income from something you’ve created or worked on but does not work on it any longer, this can be seen as passive income.

I will say the following can be seen as passive income and please feel free to comment and give more examples.

  • Royalties
  • Rental income
  • Interest on savings
  • Dividends
  • Income on products you’ve created

Well there is probably more but lets focus on these and see how we can use this for a income strem on the internet.

Royalties:

When a song writer put his song on the market and it get used by other singers or radio stations, he/she gets a income from that song.
When a writer finished a book and get published, they get income from the book
When you’ve patented a certain thing, you get royalties from that product when it get used or build by others
I think you get the drift

Rental Income:

If you get more income than your expenses on a property, you have passive income
Interest on Savings:
The income after tax is passive income

Dividends:

Any dividends that get paid from stocks or bonds, can be seen as passive income.

Income on products you’ve created:

If you create a e-book, MP3, video and it can generate income for you or a affiliate, it can be seen as passive income after your initial cost is deducted.

 

Well I think with above examples you will see that it is possible to create passive income, but will it sell on the internet. that might be the relevant question.

Before you create a product to be sold on the internet, it will be wise to do some market research and see if there is similar products. The easiest way will probably be to go to clickbank and have a look at their marketplace. Are there any similar products and how can you make yours better? Buy some of those products and see why it sells. Can you give a better product and create a stir in the market? If so, create your product, do a JV or even give your product to some marketers on a share income base. This way you can spread your product faster and get a nice solid passive income.

Well that’s it on passive income, I will touch it again in other posts

Till next time, stay well

SEO at first did not make any sense to me. I knew that you need to be visible to the search engines, heard about keywords but still it did not make to much sense. 

At last I am getting it. If your keywords is not the ones that people are searching for, then the search engines will not see you, bottom line. If nobody is aware of your existence, then you have a store without any people.

For the next few posts I am going to try and explain it and show what I’m doing. If you have any suggestions, please pass them to me, we can all learn from it

What is article marketing and why is it a easy and important way to start your online career?

If you can write a few sentences, and eventually put a flow of ideas together, you can write a article. Fred from Article Marketing Dojo, explain just that. With his witty way and clever ideas, he gets you on your way to online business success.

If you want to know the following, you need to buy his program:

 

  • Why Is Article Marketing Important?
  • Components of a Good Article
  • Where To Submit Your Articles
  • Creating Multiple Versions
  • Finding Niches That Crave Articles
  • Outsourcing
  • Article Hijack Method

OK, I have to admit, Its not all fresh news for those that is around the block a few times, but its all combined in one package that take you by the hand and show you what he means.

 

I’m still struggling with his hijack methods, its so “why didn’t I think of it” but makes you think a bit. Hey, just have a look at least.

 

Listen what Fred have to say:

When it comes to article marketing, there are numerous benefits and features to consider.

 

- This form of marketing creates powerful links from popular websites back to your website or affiliate products. The more links you have coming to your website from other sources, the more powerful your website will be in search engine page listings like Google.

 

- By providing value in the articles that you create, you will be establishing yourself as a trusted authority on the keywords, niches or subjects that you are writing about. When readers know they can count on you for real, honest information, they will keep coming back for more.

 

- By adding a byline or resource box to your content you will be giving potential customers a way to contact you after reading your valuable content. Not only will this create powerful links, but it will also help connect additional traffic to your website that you would not normally be able to get.

 

- By creating articles optimized for search engines you will be improving your overall traffic and even your overall page rank by submitting to content sites with high page ranks and authority.

 

For these reasons, it is absolutely vital that article marketing be a facet of any internet marketing plan that you put together. While there may be a variety of different ways to market your internet site, one of the most powerful is to use valuable, easy to read article content with a call to action for readers who appreciate your work to visit your website for more information, products, a newsletter, and so on and so forth.
