Why You Aren't Making The Money You Want To On The Internet And What To Do About It!

107 Killer Traffic Conversion Secrets

Many clients come to me with problems…

The most common problem I hear from people is they
aren't making the kind of money they want to make with
their Internet business. They don't know what the
problem is and they want me to help.

I'll tell you what the problem is. Most of these
people are what I like to call opportunity seekers.
These are people that have too many sites and don't
spend any time focusing on ONE business. They may have
20 or 30 websites, with each site only breaking even
or making a few hundred dollars every month.

Most opportunity seekers are not making the money they
want or achieving their financial goals. Why?

They are making a common mistake. They have too many
sites, too many interests. This prevents them from
focusing their efforts and creating the six figure
income they dream of.

Focus Is The Key To Long-Term Success

If you want to succeed on the Internet, you are much
better-off staying focused. That means starting off
with one site or idea and perfecting it before moving
on to the next Internet adventure. Far too many people
have a get rich quick mind-set. In fact, I'd say
almost all opportunity seekers have this mind-set.

They jump from one program to another hoping one of
them will lead to success.

Opportunity seekers are always the first to jump on
the next big moneymaking bandwagon. It may be one
thing one month, another the
next month.

They may try to concentrate on affiliate marketing then
switch dramatically to e-book marketing the next.

Whatever seems to be working for others they jump into
with wild abandon, without considering their true
talents, abilities and interests.

These people are looking for some easy way to make
money. They think they can make money with Google
AdSense or just a web page, or even with a multilevel
marketing program. This is NOT how an entrepreneur
thinks! However, this is exactly how an opportunist
thinks.

They always are looking for shortcuts, and then wonder
why it isn't working.

It isn't working because you have no focus. You must
have focus. You must think like an entrepreneur. Focus
is one of the most vital aspects of your success. My
advice to these newbies is shut down 29 of your sites
and focus on one site, the one that best represents
your interests.

Optimize it. Work on refining it. Refine your sales
process and your back end on this single site and make
it successful BEFORE you move on to the next site.

Yes, I have many sites. But I am Dan Lok. You're not
there yet. Perfect your one site. THEN you can think
about moving on to other moneymaking ventures.

Horizontal Vs. Vertical Business

Many people have what I call a horizontal business. A
horizontal business has many sites in many different
niches, like hobby niches.

People who own horizontal businesses have 20 or more
separate business ventures. I recommend having a
vertical business instead. A vertical business is a
business that has depth and focus.

Having a vertical business means if you have a product
in a particular niche, like stock trading, focus on
selling products related to that and that only. Put
all your eggs in one basket and create a funnel
effect. This way you'll have one group of customers
and you can become a big fish in
a small pond.

You'll have all your eggs in one place yes… but you'll
become an expert egg layer and watch all your eggs
hatch with great success.

Make sense?

What is the problem with a horizontal business? You
aren't specialized.

It's almost impossible to make a six-figure income
with this kind of business because you don't spend
enough time on any ONE business.

When you have a vertical business, you have fine-tuned
your business so well competitors have a hard time
keeping up with you. People can't compete. You also
build a strong client base with satisfied customers.

Think Like An Entrepreneur

So, the biggest problem people have is they are
opportunity seekers.

The key is thinking like a true Internet entrepreneur.
Don't jump on the trend bandwagon. Don't ask what the
shortcuts are. An entrepreneur has a long-term vision.
You have to have a one-year, five year and ten year
vision. Find out what you want your business to look
like in the long-term.

Ask yourself, What do I want to accomplish ultimately?
Then decide whether your activities fit with your
goals. Stop jumping from one program to another. Focus
on one program, one site, and one great idea. This is
what you have to do if you want to make six figures.
It has nothing to do with your knowledge, skill set
experience etc. It has to do more with your focus.

Sit down. Think about it.

Stop jumping from one program to another and stop
getting sucked into false moneymaking schemes. Find
out what your goals are, what you want to accomplish.

This is a far superior approach. Yes, it takes a lot
of energy. But its worth it. In the long-term it's
much less tiring than diversifying your business.

Once you are an expert in your industry or niche, THEN
you can think about diversifying your business.

Home Based Business or Internet Income; Earning Income While You Work At Home

Free Weekly Marketing Tips

The Single Greatest Marketing Secret

Do you dream that one day you will not have to get up early in the morning and fight your way through the morning commute to get to work? Are you sick and tired of fighting the traffic and wasting precious hours of your life driving to and from work? Then you should start looking into other ways of earning an income without having to deal with the daily rush hour.

If you don't want to fight traffic or waste valuable time every day that you could be spending with your family, you really need to consider a home based business or internet income as an excellent alternative. The good thing about a home based business or internet income is that you can simply stay at home, work in your pajamas, and do it all on your own terms.

When you work at home, you get to make your own rules and set your own work schedule. Working at home will give you complete control over your work time. You can go to work early in the morning or late at night, it doesn't matter. No one will ever dock your pay or mark you tardy if you don't get to a specific place or start at a certain time.

The only person you will need to answer to, when having a home based business or internet income, is yourself. However you do need to understand that if you are not self-motivated and don't possess good work ethics, you may not earn enough income to pay your bills and keep yourself living a comfortable lifestyle.

On the other hand, if you do have a fair amount of self-discipline and you don't mind working extra hours and putting in extra efforts on what you choose to do, then you could really earn a great deal of money through an online business.

Setting your own work schedules and rules

One of the many things to take into consideration when you have a home based business or internet income is to set up your work schedules and rules. You should always keep in mind that you will need to follow some set of rules to achieve maximum productivity.

Nobody's going to be there to call your attention. If you don't devote enough time and get all of your work done, you will soon find out that you may not have enough money to pay all of your bills. You will need to work diligently on your online business to insure that the work will get done when it needs to be done.

When you set up your own work schedules and rules, you need to make sure you are committed to following them faithfully. It will not do you any good, if you just set up a work schedule and rules, then simply push them to the side. If you make schedules and rules, make sure you follow everything in order that you have set. If you need to be hard on yourself, do so. Keep in mind that the rewards will probably be worth it in the long run.

To help encourage yourself to follow your own work schedules and rules, you should set a target income goal for the month. Setting a target income goal for the month will help encourage you to dedicate more time and effort to your online business, especially if you see that you're falling behind on you're income goals. On the other hand, if you have a targeted income goal for the month and you reach that goal, you can reward yourself with a day off, if you are going to meet those goals well ahead of time.

How to Start a Home Business with Online Auctions

Free Weekly Marketing Tips

Turn Traffic Into Cash

There are so many ways that for you to start your own home business and reap the benefits that come with it. In this article I will discuss generating some extra income by starting your own home business using online auction sites.

Did you know that there are tons of other places on the internet besides EBay where you can sell items of your choice? There are Yahoo, MSN, uBid, and Overstock auctions plus multiple online antique auction sites, in addition to another site that gets a great deal of traffic and potential buyers-Amazon.

The greatest thing about all of these places is that they require very little or no experience at all to get started, very little money and hardly any time. Additionally, and probably most important to making sales is that these sites usually already have a ton of built-in, targeted traffic. It's hard for you to make a sale if no one knows where to find the items you have for sale.

Finding products to sell isn't as hard as you think either. You can get started with some old CD's, movies, books, or clothes that you have lying around the house. This will help you get used to the whole process. Then you might start expanding your home business by cleaning out your garage, attic, or storage. If you can't find much there, take it a step further and swing by some local garage sales on the weekends.

A lot of people sell their old stuff dirt cheap just to get rid of it quickly, or they simply want new. You can also offer to clean out or rearrange other people's garages. While there, if you find anything they don't want, tell them you will dispose of it for them. If you think it's something you could sell online, all the better. Now you are earning money from the service provided and the items that they gave you, not a bad home business.

When you get your items listed on the auctions, be sure you have taken clear, detailed pictures of all items. You know how the old adage goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Be sure to keep in mind that a picture isn't enough when selling your items at auctions. You will want to write a good detailed description of each item that you're going to list. Make sure to tell people things like how it looks (just in case the picture doesn't load properly or they just want to read about it) how old it is, any relevant history, what the current going rate is for a new item like yours and what the measurements are.

People like to know what they're buying in advance and will most likely buy from the person who gives them the most information to better help make their purchasing decision. Make sure you have a good descriptive title, not a flashy one. Flash will not help you to be found when someone is searching for you. However good key words and descriptions will be a big help.

Do some research by looking at other similar items to yours and pay close attention to the ones that have the most bids. Then, look to see what you think made that item more attractive, and apply that knowledge to your own online auctions. With some practice and effort, you could have a booming home business in no time at all.

Managing Your Home Based Business

The Problem of Time Management

If you already manage a home based business, then you are also probably aware of how it can consume most of your time. Most likely, this happens against your will. After all, there are probably many things that you want to do with your time, such as spending time with your spouse and your children, going out with your friends, listening to music, reading some books, or what not. And yet, the task of managing your home based business seems to take up all of your time. What can you possibly do?

What was described in the first paragraph is a classic example of a time management dilemma. Millions of people, not just home based business owners, feel that they are not in complete control of their time. This tends to make people miserable, since most people want to feel in control of their lives. After all, what is your life but a measurement of your time? As long as you are unable to spend your time in a manner that you wish, you will never be truly happy, no matter how much money you earn or how many accolades you receive.

Managing Your Time Properly

Set your priorities. The cardinal rule of time management is this: Set your priorities. In life, there is probably nothing more important than setting your priorities, since they will set the stage for just how much time you will spend on each area of your life. You must clarify in your mind exactly what you want in life, and determine to spend more time on those things that you feel are most important.

In the immortal words of Goethe, "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." If your home based business is the most important to you, then it is only right that you use most of your time on it. But if it isn't, you should begin to scale back on the time you spend on it. You can either 1) get someone else to do the job for you; or 2) scale back on the amount of work you are already doing. Remember: You own your home based business; it doesn't own you.

When you work, work. Time management gurus tell us that most people don't really work all the time that they work. This means that they may be putting in 8 hours at work, but they're not really working for all of those 8 hours. They may spend an hour here chatting with officemates, another hour there for lunch, and another utterly distracted. This causes work to pile up and problems to surface at a later time.

To avoid this, work all the time you work. While you should definitely take creaks whenever you need them, make sure you are not kidding yourself and taking more time than you need to. By focusing on the task at hand, you will get it done quicker and with less effort, freeing up more time for the other things you want to do.

How To Market Your Home Business

107 Killer Traffic Conversion Secrets

Everyone knows that marketing a home business is one of the trickiest things about having one. You have to be sure that you are doing it correctly, because no matter what your business is, chances are good that there are a lot of people who have home businesses that are going to be able to compete with yours. Because the Internet is open to everyone all over the world, you are going to find that it often comes down to people choosing the business that markets themselves the best.

Make Your Mark

So, how can you make your mark on the world and be sure that you are noticed? First of all, you have to have something that no one else does. Chances are good that other people have your same idea, unless you have come up with something that no one has ever heard of before. So, this means that there has to be something about your business that is unique, whether it is in your web site, the way that you do business, or the product that you are offering. You have to be sure that you can easily say that you have something no one else can offer, and that when you say this, you can actually mean it. If you can do this, you are going to be on the right track.

Market Market Market

Another thing that you have to be sure to do is to market yourself. No matter what you are doing, there is a place somewhere that is going to be able to market you. You have to rely on yourself and do your own research, and figure out where you can best market yourself. If you are just starting out, a good thing to do would be to search online for your product or service, and see what comes up. See what your competition is, and then figure out what they are doing to market themselves. Then, see where you can get your name out there and how you can make yourself known in the world where you want to be.

Another thing that you have to do is to get creative about how you market yourself. This could even be the thing that sets you apart from all the rest. If you can be sure that you really know what you are doing, you might be able to find your way to the top of something, and you might be able to be more of a success than you ever thought it would be possible for you to be. Get out there and market yourself, in the best way possible, and see if you can bring yourself to the forefront.

Keys to Success in a Home Business

Free Weekly Marketing Tips

TAKE ONE - IT'S FREE!
Today's Free Bonus:
Turn Traffic Into Cash

Like any business, a home business needs to be nurtured in order for it to be successful. You can't just sit back and hope that it is going to take care of itself, and that the single action of having a website and submitting it to search engines to allow potential customers to find it is going to do the trick. No matter what you may have been told, there is no business that is going to make money for you without you having to do some work to make it happen. Yes, they teach you about residual income in network marketing, but even that residual income in based upon hours, months, and possibly years of very hard work promoting, training, advertising, and learning in a continuous cycle until you have attained the level within the organization where you can sit back and let the business work for you. Rental property is another area where many people mistakenly believe they can sit back and let someone else do the work, but again, this is something that only happens after years of doing things yourself in order to reach the point where you can afford to pay someone to take care of everything for you.

How does all of that tie in to the keys of success for a home business? It means that you have to work hard in order to be successful. One of the mistakes that many people make with a home-based business is they fail to see it as a business and put it second in line after doing all of the other things they want to do. Even though you are not working in an office, you still have a business that needs your attention, so you have to devote time to doing just that. That means if your best friend calls and wants you to go shopping, you have to make sure she understands that you still have a job, even though you are working at home. Does that mean you neglect family and friends? No, of course not, but you have to set aside certain hours to work on your business just as you would if you were going to work each day. That doesn't mean that you have to work 8-5 each day, but you do need to put in the amount of hours necessary in order to do the things that are required.

It's also important to set aside a certain amount of time to do nothing but network and business promotion. You can do this by email, website promotion, passing out business cards in your local area, making up fliers to send out, or any number of other ways. The important thing is that you must have an organized method of networking if your business is going to be successful. In summary, the key points are (1) Treat your business as if you were going to work each day; (2) Have an organized criteria for what you need to do daily; and (3) Build your business with the knowledge that you will always have to be involved in order to maintain success.

Tax Tips For Home Business Owners

Free Weekly Marketing Tips

TAKE ONE - IT'S FREE!
Today's Free Bonus:
Mining The Internet

When it comes to owning a home business, there are lots of things that you are probably thinking about. First of all, the idea of staying at home for work is something that a lot of people dream of. The idea of being at ease with what you are doing, and feeling fee to do as you please is also something that a lot of people want to do, so you aren't alone. However, there are some things that you should keep in mind.

First of all, as you begin a home business one of the first things you should do is go and talk to an accountant. Remember that when you are employed by someone, your taxes are taken out of your pay, and all you have to do is to file them at the end of the year. However, with a home business you are the one who has to be in charge of doing taxes, and so it isn't going to get done for you.

That said, it can be something that is tricky to do. If you wait until the last minute, or if you do something that you aren't sure about, you might find that someone is able to rip you off, and if you are trying to file taxes on your own without knowing what you are doing you might end up spending much more money than you think you'll be spending.

So, the best thing that you can do is to visit someone who does this for a living. But make sure that it is someone who deals with home business owners on a regular basis, so that you can be sure you know what is going on and they do to. Another good option would be to find an accountant that comes well recommended. However, no matter what you find for an accountant, there is still a chance that they might rip you off as well.

The best thing that you can do is to find someone you trust to help you with your taxes, but never go into the situation without knowing what you are doing. Take a look at some tax courses and make sure that you are aware of what kinds of taxes you should be filing, and when you should be filing them. This is something that is very important for you to do because you want to be sure that you are able to get as much money back as you can and that you aren't paying too much. Many times owners of home businesses overpay because they simply don't know what they are doing, and you have to be sure that this isn't going to happen to you at all.

Why Running Your Business Online Can Be Easy

Free Weekly Marketing Tips

TAKE ONE - IT'S FREE!
Today's Free Bonus:
The Single Greatest Marketing Secret

There are many ways that you can find to run your own business. In fact, putting your business online might very well be the easiest way that you can think of to really have a good shot at making money from home.

The reason that running your business online can be so easy is that you are basically running a business that the whole world has access to. You can find that you have an audience you've never thought of before. There are no boarders on the internet, and it is all one big place, so that means that no matter where your site is, you can figure out a way to get it seen by everyone you want it seen by.

This means that you have to do a lot of work to have advertising, yes, but there are firms that can help you out with this, and there are firms that know how to get your advertising done. This is an important step, but once you have done it you'll see that there is business coming for you from all over.

In fact, having your business online can be one of the easiest things you've ever done. Imagine that you don't have to go to work, you can stay at home, and you can still be making money, just by sitting in front of your computer. There are so many ways that you can take advantage of this kind of schedule, so having a home business that is run online can be something that you'll find very easy indeed.

The best part about having a home business online is that you can truly have the most chances to have customers. You don't have to worry about doing print advertising, and you don't have to worry if you live in a small town or an out of the way area. No matter what you are selling or providing to your customers, you'll find that there is a market for it online. This means that just by setting up your home business online, you can have an easy way to have a business, and you can continue to live the life that you and your family have always wanted to live.

Remember though that even though having a home business online is easy it does require maintenance. You have to make sure that you are checking your sites and that all of your links are working all the time, because if you have even a few minutes where your site is not accessible, you are going to lose business. You should also know that while you have a home business online, you are always open, so be prepared to have lots of emails to read when you get to work every day. However, it is going to be worth it, because running a home business is so easy that you will think you should have done it years ago.

Building Your Home Business Network

Free Weekly Marketing Tips

107 Killer Traffic Conversion Secrets

Once you have a home business going, you still have the most important job of all to accomplish, that of building your network of customers and/or clients. After all, without a network of contacts, you will not have any reason to have a business, will you? It doesn't matter what kind of business you have chosen because in every business, whether it's a product or service, there is a need for customers/clients. There is no business, online or off, that can survive without the benefit of networking. Even if you are a service provider of a creative nature, you need to network in order to assure that you will constantly have those who are interested in buying what you create.

For some people, the idea of networking conjures up the idea of going door to door or making phone calls to people they don't know, but that is not the idea at all. In fact, the best networking tool is providing good service so that your customers will refer others to your business. Word of mouth is always a better sales tool than any other type of networking that you can do. Of course, even though referrals are your most effective network tool, that doesn't meant that it is or should be your only tool. Even with referrals, you need to do some networking if you expect your business to be successful and to continue to maintain success. That doesn't mean that you have to get on the phone every day and contact people nor does it mean that you have to constantly surf the Internet to find others who are interested in what you have to offer. However, you do need to take time on a regular basis to perform networking activities, which may vary from contacting referrals to simply promoting your website.

The value of networking has been underemphasized in many respects, and because of that, many new businesses are doomed to fail before they are even out of the planning stages. However, you choose to network for your business is not the issue, but if you expect your business to succeed, you have to promote it. Do not be fooled into thinking that once you have your client base, you no longer have to promote your business because if you accept that line of thinking, you will not be in business for very long. Customers are fickle, so they will not always buy goods or services from you. You need to have a backup plan for those times when "regular" customers decide to utilize the services of another provider. Unless your product or service is unique, which is unlikely unless you are an inventor, people will go where they find the products or services they want at the price they want to pay. Always be prepared for these slow times by continually networking for new customers.

Are You Ready for a Home Business?

Free Weekly Marketing Tips

TAKE ONE - IT'S FREE!
Today's Free Bonus:

Before you venture beyond the idea of your dream of a home business, you need to ask yourself some serious questions and determine if you are ready to operate a home business. This has to be something that you are willing to do with the same loyalty, devotion, and zeal that you would extend if you were working away from home doing the same thing. You cannot take the attitude that you can work whenever it suits you rather than when your customers need you to be available. You cannot treat a home business like a hobby and simply devote only those hours that you choose to devote. There are some home businesses where this is possible to a greater degree than others, but if you have a product-oriented business or a service-oriented business where you deal directly with your customers (accountant, hairdresser, builder/contractor, cleaning service); you cannot set your own hours. If you are a freelance creative artist, you can set your own hours as long as you meet the deadline for the project.

You have to be certain that you have both the time and the desire to work at home. Some people are not goal-oriented enough to work at home and must be in an environment where they know they have to work certain hours and complete a certain amount of work within that time frame. If you are that kind of person, a home business is not going to work for you because there is not going to be anyone to tell you that you must work certain hours nor is anyone going to give you work and expect you to have it finished by the end of the day. You are the only one who can set these goals for yourself in a home business, and if you are unable to do that, it won't work for you.

The thought of working at home and not having to report to an office or shop every day is appealing, especially during the winter when the roads may be bad because or the weather or during the summer when you want to be outside. It takes a special person to work at home and be able to prioritize projects so that work, family, and leisure activities all take their rightful places. If you do not feel that you are able to devote the time that you need to a home business, take some time to work on learning how to do that. If you aren't goal-oriented enough to work a home business, you would be doing yourself and potential customers and disservice by pursuing it. Knowing this doesn't mean you can never operate a home business, but rather that you aren't ready now. Keep these thoughts in mind, and when you are ready to commit to working at home, you are ready.

Earn Income At Home With An Internet Business

Free Weekly Marketing Tips

TAKE ONE - IT'S FREE!
Today's Free Bonus:
The Single Greatest Marketing Secret

Just about anyone can earn income from home and with an internet business you can make money working at home. Many companies are willing to warehouse products for you and drop ship to your customers. By launching your website, gaining sales and developing your market you can earn a good living online. For example, you find a source for printer cartridges that you can sell 30 to 40 percent below retail. When an order arrives, you send it in with payment, along with the address of where it should be shipped and put the balance in your pocket.

Other companies may allow you to direct the customers to send their order directly to the company for processing and at the end of the month or week, the company will send you any money you earned. Just as every person is different so is every internet business opportunity. They are not designed to be acceptable to everyone and not everyone is designed to work at home with an internet business. But once you decide to make the plunge, pretend you're on the side of the pool. It is OK to dip your toe in the water and check the temperature, but at some point you will have to get wet. Some will do this by slowly walking into the water while others will close their eyes and jump right in.

It may by acceptable to examine a new opportunity, but at some point you are going to have to jump in and get started, or walk away from the pool and go back to your daytime job. Like any business, it takes blood, sweat and maybe a few tears, before you can sit back, take a deep breath and 15 or 20 seconds later get back to work. There is no one looking over your shoulder and no one with a checkbook to bail you out of a financial jam. It is all you. Whether you succeed is determined by how much determination you have to make it work.

Once you have decided on an internet business and have made the plunge, give it every opportunity to grow into a successful business. Do not be afraid of change. Many people embark on a new business and after a time figure out it is not the right one for you. When this happens, you will have two options. One is to grin, bear it and stay in an unsatisfying field in another job you are not happy with. The other option is to cut your losses and find a different role to fulfill. Finding an opportunity that makes you happy with your work can be more than repayment you for any losses you may have suffered.

Free Work At Home Opportunities May Come With Costs

Free Weekly Marketing Tips

TAKE ONE - IT'S FREE!
Today's Free Bonus:
Turn Traffic Into Cash

Regardless of what the advertisements may promise, finding free work at home projects may be next to impossible in many lines of work. While many companies advertise free work from home opportunities, their definition of free may not be the same as yours. A majority of free work at home opportunities are nothing more than franchise opportunities, in which you put your name on their page and promote it.

In a lot of ways, this makes sense. The company has spent a lot of money and a lot of time developing their web site, along with the replication software enabling you to have the same website with your name on it. They have also spent a lot of time and money developing the service or product mix for sale on that site. Like any traditional franchise, a new entry in the field can take advantage of the name recognition, products and reputation of the existing company.

The existing company is selling the exclusive use of their name and products, in hopes that more customers will be the result. The main trouble with internet businesses is that customers come from all over the world and if there are 1,000 people with 1,000 websites that are exactly alike, getting people to visit your site so that you get credit for sale is where cost may enter the equation.

Sure, you can set up a free blog site and talk about nothing but the products on your site, using your unique URL to draw people in. You may actually get one or two people reading your blog. Maybe they will visit the site. This is free. If you ask any person who has achieved the slightest bit of success in business, internet or traditional, they will tell you that advertising or marketing is required to get people to your website or into your business.

Without it, the only people who will know about your online business are you and your service provider, and they won't care as long as you pay your fees. In order to boost your page's ranking, you may have to spend some quality time and money to make your site more attractive to internet search engines. In business, time is money, so your free work at home opportunity is getting more expensive as you go along.

Additionally, many of the companies offering free websites, amazingly also can recommend a marketing company to help you get your site noticed. That will not be free, but the returns from increased sales may pay for the advertising. Of course, the company, whose free website you promote, is going to be an affiliate of the marketing company and will receive a percentage of your outlay for the advertising. While there may not be anything illegal or even unethical about these arrangements, you should be aware of what you are getting into before you spend the first dime.

Featured Home Based Business Opportunity:

Their unique affiliate program pays you residual income for customers you send to them. If your website's theme pertains to tourism, historic/anthropological focus, search engine, portal, complementary items to what they manufacture, or personal experiences of visiting New Zealand, then please join their affiliate program. You are about to earn a significant passive income by partnering with ProductsFromNewZealand.com!

Affiliates earn 10 - 15% commission paid for the first order your referred customer(s) make, and that is purchased through your link(s). The percentage varies based on which item they purchase. Over 80% of items will give a 15% commission.

You can also earn lifetime residual income with their sliding recurring commission scale, ranging from 5 - 10% paid to you, for all subsequent orders by your customer. Over 80% of items will give a 10% commission. This is regardless of whether they come directly to their store via your website or directly to them in the future. This is potentially a huge money earner for you, with no effort on your behalf! As long as they keep purchasing from them, you keep earning a passive income. They keep in touch with your customer(s) regularly via their newsletter - 'The Chocolate Fish Ezine' and other sophisticated direct marketing techniques, to ensure this happens.

Before You Start A Home-Based Business - PART 1

No guru secrets - just REAL down home goodness, corn fed information set up in this Free Home Based Business Do-It Yourself Course: The Service Sellers Masters Course

Part 1: Is A Home-Based Business Right For You?
Operating a home based business can give you the best of both worlds. Like all small business owners, you enjoy the satisfaction of being your own boss and being the person who makes the decisions.

But if you run your business out of your home, you also enjoy the benefits of being able to work flexible hours, of not having to commute, and certain tax advantages. In theory, you can run a successful business out of your home and have the flexibility to be there for your family, spending more time with your children or arranging your work schedule around your family's needs.

No wonder so many Canadians are attracted to operating a home based business. But is operating a home based business right for you?

Starting any business requires planning and soul-searching, but there are particular aspects of your business' operations that need to be considered carefully before you start a home based business. This article assumes that you already know what you want to do and how you're going to do it; it provides guidelines for deciding whether to run your business out of your home or not.

Legalities - Like any other business person, you need to set up your business legally. You will have to choose a form of business (such as a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation), and register your business name, if your business has a name other than your own. (You can find links to articles outlining the forms of business and business registration procedures in my Starting A Small Business Library.)

You may also need a business license, depending on the type of business you're running. And you have to run your business according to provincial and federal laws, which means you may need to register for Workers' Compensation insurance with your province, or collect GST/HST and/or PST.

But you have to do all of these things no matter where your business is located, so let's look at factors specific to home based business that you need to consider before you turn a room of your home into an office and start selling your products or services.

One important consideration before you start a home based business will be your house and your neighbourhood. Continue on to the next page to learn how to determine how well your house and neighbourhood will suit starting a home based business.

Before You Start A Home-Based Business - PART 2

No guru secrets - just REAL down home goodness, corn fed information set up in this Free Home Based Business Do-It Yourself Course: The Service Sellers Masters Course


Part 2: The Location of Your Home-Based Business
You know how important a consideration location is to real estate (both commercial and residential). The location of your home based business is extremely important, too. You may not even be able to start the home based business you want to start where you are now, because of issues such as space and zoning. Before you start a home based business you need to consider the suitability of your neighbourhood and house.

Zoning - Is your neighbourhood zoned for home based business? If it's not, you're just asking for trouble down the road when the city catches up with you or a neighbour complains. Many municipalities don't allow home based business at all, and others place severe restrictions upon exactly what kind of business is allowed to operate out of a family dwelling in a residential neighbourhood. Check the zoning bylaws with your municipality.

Neighbourhood suitability - How will your proposed home based business fit into your neighbourhood? Most residential neighbours are not going to be very happy if you have noisy machinery running all day long, large trucks starting up early in the morning, or customers parking their vehicles all over the place. If your proposed home based business involves manufacturing, or trucks or other vehicles arriving at or leaving your property on a regular basis, you should not be operating in a residential area. Unhappy neighbours can be bad for business in all kinds of ways.

Neighbourhood location - Will your neighbourhood's location work for or against your home based business? If you're delivering a product or service, it probably won't matter if you're located 15 km out of town down an obscure country road (except for the extra travel cost you incur). But if your home based business involves people coming to you, then they need to be able to find it and get there easily. In many cases, you won't be able to put up any signage for your home based business, although in others you will be able to have a small, unobtrusive sign by or on your door.

Your property's location and appearance - You don't have to live in a manor with a manicured landscape fit for a magazine to run a home based business, but your property does have to be attractive enough that it won't scare off prospective customers or clients. Old cars cluttering the yard, knee-high grass, and dilapidated buildings with peeling paint are all turn-offs that can lose you business. A poorly maintained house and property gives people the impression you don't look after things - so why would you look after them? If you're going to run a business out of your home, your home has to look neat and respectable - at all times!

Your house's suitability - I'm always amazed at the number of people who try to run their home based business out of their kitchens. If the only space in your home you can devote to your business is the kitchen or a corner of your basement, don't, unless your business is virtual and no one is ever, ever going to see your premises. People who visit your home based business will expect it to look (and operate) like a "real" business. They expect to be able to do things such as sit down and sign papers in a business-like environment. Any home based business will need to have an entire room set aside as an office space.

Some home based business will need even more space. For instance, if you consult with clients, you'll need an actual consulting room separate from your office. If your home based business involves creating arts or crafts, or manufacturing, you'll need a suitable studio or shop. If you're in this position, and you don't have these already, it may be easier and cheaper to find suitable quarters for your home based business elsewhere then try to renovate your home to accommodate your business plans.

One of the main differences between operating a home based business and a business "off-site" is that you lose that automatic separation between your business and your home life. Before you start a home based business, you need to think about how well your work style and your family will fit into your home based business plans. Click to continue on to the next page...

Before You Start A Home-Based Business - PART 3

No guru secrets - just REAL down home goodness, corn fed information set up in this Free Home Based Business Do-It Yourself Course: The Service Sellers Masters Course

Part 3: Working From Home
You also need to consider if your family and your work style will support operating a home based business. Working from home can be idyllic if your family is prepared to support your plans to start a home based business and if you're prepared to deal with the potential problems of actually working from home. Before you start a home based business, think about:

Your family - You're not the only one involved if you start a home based business; your whole family will be involved in the enterprise, for good or ill. You need to consider how running a business out of your home will affect your family.

While many people start a home based business thinking that they'll be able to spend more time with their family than they would otherwise, the lack of separation between your business and personal life can seriously interfere with family activities. How will you keep your family life and your work life separate and how much time can you realistically devote to both?

You also have to consider everyone's expectations. Will you expect your family members to pitch in and help with your home based business? How will your family members feel about this? Discuss your home based business plans and expectations with your family first, and find out whether or not they're prepared to actively support your business.

Your work style - As much as everyone likes to fantasize about it, working from home isn't for everyone. Before you start a home based business, you need to think about your personality and your work preferences. The three main problems of working from home are:

Working from home can increase your feelings of isolation and lack of contact with colleagues. Many people have difficulty coping with working alone for long stretches of time. This is especially difficult for those who are used to working in busy office environments and being surrounded by people.

Working from home can cause increased family stress, because of the difficulty of separating business and home life. I've already touched on this, but it's important. If you thought bringing a new pet into your home was stressful, wait until you start a home based business!

Working from home calls for self discipline and the ability to plan and manage one's own time. On the one hand, being your own boss means that no one else is telling you what to do. On the other, if you don't keep yourself focused and on task, no one else will.

How will you handle these potential problems of working from home? Thinking about your work style and devising strategies to deal with these potential problems of working from home ahead of time can make all the difference when you're faced with actually doing it.

Last, if you want to start a home based business you need to consider your own personality. A home based business is still a business, first and foremost, and not everyone is cut out to be a business person. Are you entrepreneurial? Continue on to the next page to find out...

Before You Start A Home-Based Business - PART 4

No guru secrets - just REAL down home goodness, corn fed information set up in this Free Home Based Business Do-It Yourself Course: The Service Sellers Masters Course

Part 4: Are You An Entrepreneur?
Your personality is also a determining factor in whether or not you should start a home based business. While many people start home based business because they see it as a natural extension of the hobbies they love, having a hobby is not the key to running a successful home based business.

Are you an entrepreneur? Do you have the qualities an entrepreneur needs to have to be a success? Research shows that successful entrepreneurs share certain traits and attitudes, such as perseverance, the desire and willingness to take the initiative,competitiveness, self-reliance, a strong need to achieve, and self-confidence (William Jennings, "A Profile of The Entrepreneur").

Number one on my list of the personality traits you need to be a successful entrepreneur is determination. Enthusiasm is a great quality, but you won't get far with your plans to start a home based business if you don't have the determination to put your plans into action.

In fact, there are so many adjectives starting with the letter "D" that are associated with the attitudes shared by successful business people, that I've coined the phrase "Type D Personality" to summarize them. Besides determination, you need drive, discipline, and desire to run a successful home based business. You also need to be adaptable and flexible; each day will bring new challenges you may or may not have planned to meet, and often, a multitude of tasks that all seem to need to be done at once!

Test your entrepreneurial potential with these articles and quizzes about being a successful entrepreneur. Or read Thinking of Starting a Small Business to determine if you "have the right stuff" to run a successful home based business.

Feeling daunted? Don't be. To help you decide whether a home based business is right for you, I've created a Home-Based Business Checklist that summarizes all these considerations. With the Checklist in hand, take a hard look at your neighbourhood, your house, and your personal circumstances and see if you could run your business successfully out of your home. You might also want to get a second opinion; ask a friend to do an appraisal for you using the Checklist and compare the answers.

Deciding to run a home based business isn't a snap decision. But if you do decide to locate your business in your home, it can be the most satisfying, exhilarating thing you've ever done. And know that you're not alone. Thousands of others small business people are doing exactly the same thing - and operating successful home based business.

Researching An Internet Home Based Business Opportunity

No guru secrets - just REAL down home goodness, corn fed information set up in this Free Home Based Business Do-It Yourself Course: Affiliate Masters Course

If you are looking for ways to earn more, consider an internet home based business. When choosing the right internet home based business, it is important to choose the opportunity that matches the skills you have, in a field that you enjoy. Shifting through the different advertisements and flyers, you will find that there are lots of internet home based business opportunities being promoted, and it might be hard finding the right one. There is also the problem of finding a home based business opportunity, which is legitimate. There are a number of people looking to sell you an "opportunity" which is really a scam. Therefore, all these things must be considered when starting to look for the right internet home based business opportunity.

To choose the right internet home based business, start with the field that you already know something about. For example, if you have experience in the healthcare field, look for opportunities to work from home in the healthcare field. This is actually one of the most important factors for any job - finding something you like and putting all your energy into making it work.

After you have determined the area or field you want to look for your new internet home based business in, the next step would be to actually research the different opportunities available to you as a home worker. Home based business opportunities can be found almost everywhere we look. You can search for your new business opportunity in the newspaper, magazine ad, posters in your neighborhood, or on the Internet. The Internet is one of the best places to look for home based business opportunities, as it is not limited to your local area, but will have information about opportunities occurring worldwide.

When a list of internet home based business opportunities has been compiled in an area or field you feel comfortable in, spending time comparing and contrasting the advantages and disadvantages of each business opportunity. It is important to really consider every aspect of an internet home based business, before taking the plunge into it. Things to compare and contrast about your different internet home based business opportunities would be criteria such as the amount of time needed to set it up, the amount of money involved in running it, the amount of support given from the parent company, and the length of time estimated before you start achieving a profit.

After all the different advantages and disadvantages have been considered in regards to your internet home based business opportunity, it should be more clear to you, which opportunity will cost the least of your time and money, and be right for you to promote. But it should be cautioned to not rush into any opportunity before carefully considering all the disadvantages attached to it. The worse scenario to occur would be for you to decide midway into your internet home based business, that you are ill-suited for it, after investing so many hours into your new business.

In the end, when researching internet home based business opportunities it cannot be stressed enough how important it is to choose the BEST and creative opportunity for you. A new internet
home based business opportunity can be something that comes "prepackaged". In these types of opportunities, you are more likely to have the support of the company's more senior members. However, some people opt to choose a business opportunity that they have heard about from somewhere else and perfected themselves. In this scenario, less or almost no support is available. Regardless, of which of these options you choose, the bottom line is find an internet home based business opportunity you can enjoy!

-Their lifetime customer policy earns annual commissions for you on every SBI! renewal (their customer success rate is the highest in the world -- so SBI! owners renew!).

Over half of Site Build It!! owners purchase more than one SBI! (some over 10!). Since the customer is yours for a lifetime, you earn commissions on those multiple sales, too (no limit!). And, of course, on their renewals, too!
And the 5 Pillar Program goes way beyond the generous first-time and lifetime residual commissions. It includes...

-2 tiers of income (earn from sales by your team of affiliates, just like Sales Directors in large companies)
-unique, powerful and simple-to-use tools & strategies/advice to help you succeed, both online and off.
-5 Pillar earnings really add up, fast.

Take Advantage of That Home Based Business Opportunity

No guru secrets - just REAL down home goodness, corn fed information set up in this Free Home Based Business Do-It Yourself Course: Work At Home Mom Masters Course

When a home based business opportunity knocks, you should listen. If you dream of having some independence, setting your own schedule, and running things on your own terms, then looking for a good home based business opportunity should be your next step. And when you find a home based business opportunity that interests you, don’t let it pass you by.

Think about the things you like to do from hobbies, interests, and activities. To figure out which home based business opportunity will work best for you, it is important to start with the things you enjoy. After all, this will be your business and what you will be working on in your home. Why not have a little fun with it?

Once you have figured out what types of things you like to do, then seek out the home based business opportunity that fits with your interest. Seek out a number of options so that you can narrow it down to the home based business opportunity that will work for you and your situation. If you have a general interest in something, you can try to find a home based business opportunity that focuses on one aspect of your interest.

Are You Passionate About Starting A Home Based Business?

Finding a niche in your home based business opportunity is important, because you want your business to be unique. You will want to offer something that no one else does, as it will make your home based business opportunity more successful. For instance, say you love knitting, and you want to take advantage of a home based business opportunity where you knit. However, there are a multitude of things you can knit, so you can narrow it down to unique and flirty scarves. Rather than being too general, your home based business opportunity now fills a specific need for your clientele.

Once you find your home based business opportunity, do not submit to the pressure to jump in too quickly. Create a plan and set goals so that your home based business opportunity has a clear direction for success. Take one day at a time, always keeping your eyes on other ways to make your home based business opportunity more successful. Also, make sure that you have a personal life that is not wrapped up in your home based business opportunity. You decided to take advantage of this home based business opportunity to do something you love to do, so don’t make it a burden.
