Membership Site Intensive - Self Study Course - LAST CHANCE!

2011-12-27T18:36:00.001-08:00

You Really Can Add A Stream Of Recurring Income To Your Business!

Membership Sites are all the buzz these days. Everyone wants to add residual income to their business and having customers on a subscription plan is a great way to accomplish that goal.

Last fall my friends Kelly McCausey and; Lynette Chandler held a special four week Membership Site Intensive leading a handful of entrepreneurs through planning and preparation for the launch of their first paid membership website.

What kind of business owner could benefit from this training, you ask? Well, the fall graduates launched things like Private Networking, Premium Podcast, Software Access, and Discount Article sites, while others opened Candle and Scrapbook “Of The Month” clubs – and are now enjoying monthly recurring income. In fact, there are endless possibilities for member sites!

Here’s the great news – the Membership Site Intensive is currently available for individual self study, featuring the same great information that original MSI students paid over $400 to access.

The bad news is – that this course is retiring FOREVER in just a few days.

If you have ever considered adding a paid membership site to your business - you already know you want the info this home-study course offers. I’ve taken the course myself, and I have to say you’d be crazy to pass this LAST CHANCE offer up.

The course will walk you through every step you need to launch your own successful membership site, including must-have features, how to structure your affiliate program, which tools to use, how to get paid, how to avoid the 8 common dangers new sites face, how to get members, how to keep your members coming back, and a boat load of other strategies and resources to get you up and running. It even gives you ‘How To’ check lists, daily examples of momentum building content, and pre-written messages for your subscribers.

The best part of all? IT’S ONLY $19!!!! But hurry – this course disappears forever at midnight on Saturday December 31st.

"To be honest, when I started 42 Day Incubator Coaching, I was a bit nervous! I knew it would be a lot of work to complete in 6 weeks and I wondered if I could keep up and meet all of my deadlines. I tend to suffer from the "too many ideas" syndrome and have more things on my "to-do" list than my "finished" list.

Kelly provided a great time line for the project and working with her kept me focused and on target. Bouncing ideas off of her really helped. Her ideas and feedback helped me create a better product than I originally had in mind.

I had about 140 people register for the live teleseminar and have continued to receive orders for the recording.

The 42 Day Incubator was a great learning experience for me and I will continue to use the methods I learned to create more products in the future."

My Career as a Professional Hermit

2008-10-09T15:57:00.000-07:00

By David Leonhardt
"Work from home. Make big bucks in your pajamas." - typical work-from-home ad.

Quick. What do writers, stay-at-home parents and online marketing geeks have in common? I mean, besides insanity? They are all hermits.

The typical writer locks himself up for years brooding in a dark room, surfacing only long enough to find out who this year's American Idol is. This solitary brooding is supposed to help him develop a keen sense of the human condition.

Stay-at-home parents are prisoners in their own castles, as each child has a different toilet schedule. And a different nap schedule. And a different tantrum schedule. By the time they are all buttoned up in their snowsuits and hopefully not needing the bathroom in the next fifteen minutes, the stores are all closed.

Online marketing geeks sit down to their computer screens in the morning. When they look up, they wonder how it got so dark. The next time they look up, they wonder how it got so light again.

What a sad bunch. What a sorry lot. Who would take on such careers?

I would.

I'm a writer. I'm a Stay-at-home Dad. I'm an online marketing geek. I'm ... Super Hermit!

"Get dressed."

"Why? Don't you like my pajamas anymore?"

"You have to go out."

"What?! Why would I do something so radical?"

"It's Tuesday. You have a big outing."

"Tuesday? Tuesday? What's Tuesday?"

"Garbage day."

In the country, three minutes to the road and back with the bags, then again with the recycling, qualifies as a big outing for a professional hermit. In fact, that's more time than most couples spend each week being a couple.

If this sounds like just the kind of self-inflicted bliss you've been itching for, there are a few things you should know before making the big career switch.

A dedicated hermit often skips a shower. Sometimes, the hermit gets away with it. To help the hermit remember when shower day arrives, there is a simple four-part clinical procedure:

Lift arm.

Insert nose.

If you faint, it's time to shower (when you regain consciousness).

If you don't faint, schedule a shower -- as early as next week, if you have an opening.
Personally, I apply a simple rule of thumb. As long as I spend more time showering each week than I spend taking out the garbage, my wife probably won't divorce me. Unless I forget to take out the garbage...again.
Here are a few more tips for shower-challenged hermits everywhere:

Wear cologne. Lots of it. Your partner will think you did it just for her. Or him. Or it. If you wear enough, the kids might even let you out.

Wear many layers of thick clothes. Warning, if you live in Edmonton or Moscow this might force you to open all the windows to keep from smelling even worse. If you live in Dallas or Delhi, it might force you to close all your windows to keep from smelling even worse.

Eat garlic for breakfast. If that doesn't work, eat garlic for lunch, too. And for dinner. And for dessert. Nobody will notice your shower schedule, and the kids will definitely let you out.
We professional hermits also lose touch with our friends.
"Hey David. How have you been? It's Al."

"Al? Al who?"

"It's Al. Your friend."

"I have a friend?"

If working in your pajamas appeals to you, perhaps to avoid being the next victim of the "What Not to Wear at Work" TV crew, a career as a professional hermit is your ideal gig. Pick up a pen and paper, get yourself a second-hand computer, or borrow some kids.

If you barricade yourself in your house long enough, you can enjoy your very own life of abnormal isolation and solitude. And everyone will know just what to buy you for Christmas - pajamas.

Get a personal growth humor column, like this one on a hermit's career, in your inbox every week.

NOTE: This feature continues with the pajamas fashion primer and home office policies.

Never Hear "No" Again?

2008-08-29T09:01:00.000-07:00

Do you find it hard to talk to prospects on the phone, getting hung up on, or handling objections?

I used to be like that, constantly taking the prospects that I would generate on the internet and vomit my business opportunity to them.

Time after time, I would basically get laughed at followed by am immediate "Click".

I just couldn't figure it out. What was I doing wrong? There were so many people out there that were effortlessly sponsoring people on the phone.

I did this for what seemed like a lifetime. I wasn't getting anywhere with my business, basically sponsoring one or two every now and then.

But then I found something that changed the way I talked to prospects forever. It was a video interview with Mike Dillard, and master recruiter Mark Wieser.

In this video Mark get grilled by Mike on how he is able to personally sponsor over 254 reps in one year and how he is able to do it with such ease.

I figured out that I needed to change the way that I was talking to the prospects. I needed to qualify them to see if they are right for my business, not if they would be interested in joining.

I also figured out that I am the boss, I need to control the situation, I am interviewing my prospects to see if they would be good enough to be part of my business.

Basically think of it as if you were the manager interviewing to hire a new employee.

By changing the way that I approach the conversation and the attitude that I have in the conversation, I am now not getting hung up on. I am sponsoring more than ever. Prospects are actually thanking me for the conversations that we have.

Sponsoring and talking to prospects doesn't have to be hard, frustrating, or filled with rejection.

All you need to know is how to do it the right way, the fun way, from someone that knows how to do it and do it well.

So if you would like to learn how I overcame my fear of talking to prospects on the phone, now sponsor more than ever, and how I never hear the word no again, then you need to get your hands on this free 1 hour video interview.

Successful Time Management In A Clock Free World.

2008-06-30T14:44:00.000-07:00

So many people are jumping on the band wagon of having their own home bases business. Working from home is just about everybody’s dream job. You get to set your own hours and work in your pajamas. You can be home with the kids and save money on daycare services. You do not have to answer to anyone but yourself. This all sounds great right? What most don’t realize is that this can be a difficult job to do if you are not disciplined enough to use work at home time management to make sure that you are actually doing your job and not watching TV or trying to do your chores.

You may find it hard at times to work from home while caring for the children and doing household chores if you do not manage my time well. You may think you are doing well by doing things little by little with your personal things but in reality, you are taking away from the time that you can be working. With proper time management, you can manage all of the things that you want to do all while being able to work from home.

Here are some work at home time management tips to help you keep on track and stay focused on what you need to be doing.

•If you find that you are being pulled to do things with the kids more than you are getting to work then it may be time to look into hiring a playmate for the kids for a few hours a day. This is really inexpensive and the amount of stuff you can accomplish n the time they are occupied will be well worth the $20 you give the sitter to sit and play with them. It is cheaper then having someone watch the kids while you are out as you are still there they are merely there to play with the kids.

•Have set times that you do things. Make a certain time that you check email as apposed to checking it many times a day. Block off an hour to work on household things and stick with it. Remember that if you were at a job away from home you would be doing nothing but that so look at your home job as it is just as important.

•Make a timer your best friend as you can really stay on task if you allow only a certain amount of time for each task.

•Get set with a routine. Do things at the same time each day and you will find that you are much better organized.

•Be sure to keep the limits that you set and set aside a special place such as a home office that you do all of your business in. It can make it very difficult if you try to work where ever in the house. Let family and friends know that when you are in the office you are at work and schedule certain breaks that you can be available for the family.

With the right work at home time management strategies, you will be well on your way to making the best out of your home business in no time. You will be able to enjoy the benefits of working from home with ease.

Stay At Home Moms Are Perfect For Home-Based Businesses by Nicole Calhoun

2008-05-21T13:36:00.000-07:00

What if you could earn more money, part-time, than your husband earns full-time, and do it all from home? Would you be interested in looking into an opportunity like the one that was described? If so, a home-based business is for you!

There are millions of stay at home moms just like yourself earning significant incomes from home. And in a lot of cases, these moms are bringing their husbands home to become stay at home families! How awesome is that?

A part-time effort is all that is required. After you take the kids to school, and maybe put the little one down for a nap, there's usually a window of free time that you have that you normally just take a break for yourself. But for stay at home moms who want to earn additional income, they see that "free" time as an opportunity to make contacts to drum up some buzz about their company and product or service.

These are the moms who are made for home-based businesses. These are the real go-getters who learn that if they sacrifice for a little while, that their families will be better off in the end.

If you've ever wanted to own your own business, there are several great opportunities out there for moms like you. You just have to know where to look. Not only do you need to know where to look, but you need to have an idea of what you would like to do before you start looking.

Are you interested in arts and crafts? Maybe jewelry-making or scrapbooking would be for you. Are you the infamous "girly girl"? If so, something in cosmetics or clothing may better suit you.

There are so many wonderful industries and companies out there for the taking. But, if you want to earn a substantial income from home, just know that hard work is required. No one is going to back a money truck up to your door and unload tons of cash just because you decided to start your own business.

I know it sounds goofy, but some people actually think that way. In any business, you have to go after the numbers, and nothing will help you do that more than building a business on the internet.

The internet connects you with hundreds of millions of people, instantly. Not all of them will be looking for your product or service, but there is a fine chance that enough will to change your financial life forever.

A lot of people think that marketing on the internet is hard; and it can be if you do not know what you're doing. But for those who do, they have been able to build a list of growing prospects and new customers that fatten their bottom line, each month.

That can be your reality. What is even better, is there is a lot of marketing on the internet that can be done for FREE! Again, you just have to know how to do it.

If staying home and raising your children is important to you, but you still wish you could contribute to your family's household income, the great news is you can! And with the internet, doing it successfully has never been easier.

Stay at home moms and home-based businesses - a match made in heaven!

Pamper Me Please! - Self Care for the Busy Entrepreneur

2008-04-08T13:08:00.000-07:00

Why am I doing this? I just feel like I can't
focus today! I feel like I'm not enjoying my job
like I used to. What's the matter with me?
I NEED A BREAK!!!!

When you are CEO, head nurse, mommy, head of
janitorial services, and chief crafts coordinator,
life can leave you a little weary sometimes. As a
business owner YOU are your most valuable resource,
so it makes sense to take care of yourself! When
you start to feel overwhelmed, it's important to
know when to slow down and take a break. Below
you'll find 10 tips to help you take a vacation
pamper and renew.

1) SCHEDULE A DAY OFF: Often when we are the
busiest is when we need a break the most.
Write a day in your calendar just for you.
Promise to enjoy your time off. Turn off the
computer, and don't answer the phone. Don't
let guilt, or a list of impending deadlines
steal your relaxation and enjoyment for the
day.

2) MAKE TIME FOR THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS IN
YOUR LIFE: Go on a date with you're your
husband. Enjoy a cup of gourmet coffee with
a friend. Steal away on a mommy and
daughter/son breakfast. Write a special note
to a friend or spouse letting you know how
you feel about them. Give someone a long
meaningful hug. Spend a little extra time
cuddling with your children before bed.

3) TAKE TIME TO CELEBRATE: Make up a holiday.
Invite a friend to a "just because" lunch.
Order out for pizza. At our house, we have a
tradition called "pajama party". When we
want to celebrate, we all get into our
pajamas extra early, get all our pillows and
blankets, pull out the sofa bed, snuggle up,
watch a special movie, and tell each other
stories. This is a special treat that the
whole family REALLY looks forward to!

4) PAMPER YOURSELF: Indulge in a candle lit
bubble bath. Listen to some soothing music.
Read a juicy romance novel. Take a day at
the spa. Soak up some sun at the beach. Sip
a glass of wine and watch the sun set in your
back yard. Why not buy yourself a bouquet of
flowers?

5) NURTURE YOUR BODY: Treat yourself to plenty
of sleep, eat balanced meals, drink lots of
water, and take vitamins. If you've been
neglecting a checkup, now's the time to
schedule it! When you take care of your
body, you'll have more energy and feel
happier.

6) GET OUT OF THAT CHAIR & EXCERCISE: Sitting
in your office chair all day isn't exactly
the ideal workout. Head to the gym, take a
walk thru the park, or take a dip in the
pool. Take in a game of golf, racquetball or
tennis. Exercise is a proven stress reducer!

7) CATCH A RAY OF SUNSHINE: Remember the song
"I'm walking on sunshine, well…and don't it
feel good?" There's nothing more energizing
then feeling the sun on your face and
breathing in some fresh air. Spend time in
your garden, play ball with the kids, or take
a trip to the park. I enjoy taking a "nature
walk" right in my back yard. I walk slowly
looking at each flower, and really taking
each detail in again as if for the very first
time.

8) BE A KID FOR A DAY: Forget your
responsibilities for just one day. Put away
your "to do list" and revel in all the things
you'd like to do but shouldn't. Let your
house be messy, sleep in, eat an ice-cream
sundae for supper, and watch you're a funny
movie. Make up a silly song. Put on your
favorite CD and dance! Mix up a batch of
monster size cookies! Let the little kid in
your come out and play!

9) RENEW YOUR SPIRIT: Often in the busyness of
life, we forget to take quiet time for
ourselves. I encourage you to take time to
journal, daydream, read the scriptures, and
meditate. In stillness, you can tune-in to
what really matters to you. Take time to
listen to your heart, reflect and honor the
quiet voice within.

10) GET A MAKEOVER: Do you feel pretty
when you look in the mirror? If not, you
deserve to! When you look good, you FEEL
good. Get a new haircut or a manicure.
Spoil yourself and buy a new outfit. Try a
new perfume.

MY PERSONAL CHALLENGE TO YOU:
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy!
Don't wait until you are feeling burned out to
take a break. I challenge you to take out your
pen, flip thru your calendar, and schedule
yourself a day off. When you are well rested,
you'll have a newfound energy, spark and passion
to drive you forward to success!

Single Moms That Work At Home: Is It Possible To Make A Real Home-Based Living?

2008-04-03T15:20:00.000-07:00

What parent doesn't want to work at home? For the single mom, there is never enough time in the day, whether you share custody of your child or play the role of the full-time parent No wonder so many single moms want to have a home-based job - juggling work and full-time parenting can be stressful and sometimes seems like an impossible task. Twenty years ago, our parents didn't have the same options we do as far as work and flexibility. As a single mom, you may not be able to find a full time virtual job right off the bat, but there are also many part-time options available. While some people are naturally inclined to work at home, others find the transition more difficult to make. There are many benefits to working at home, but the drawbacks need to be considered before you make the choice.

One drawback to working at home is that finding a legitimate opportunity can be difficult. It's important to know that very few employers advertise positions as "work at home," especially when you're browsing classified ads. Many of these ads are simply out to take your money and are often business opportunities masquerading as jobs. When searching for home employment, don't simply look for a work at home job - look for a job that allows telecommuting that is related to your current field. For example, if you are currently a nurse or work in a medical office, many companies hire remote nurses and medical transcribers. If you don't have a lot of office experience, you may want to limit yourself to companies that provide work from hoe customer service and telemarketing gigs. Usually, the training is provided and the requirements are basic tech-savviness, a good telephone demeanor, and a working home office with a phone line and high speed internet.

Cost is another important factor in deciding if working at home is right for you. Although many single mothers start working at home to save on childcare, there are added costs to being a mom that works at home. If you need health insurance and you are hired as an independent contractor, it will have to come out of your pocket instead of being paid by your employers. As an independent contractor, you will also have to pay your own taxes and save receipts for your office supplies so you can write them off. Of course, as a home-based worker, you will also save on gas and wardrobe, so many of these additional expenses are canceled out.

Working at home with children is not always as easy as it seems, especially if they aren't in school yet. You may find that you need to find a part-time, flexible position, because it may be difficult to work when they are awake. This can mean lots of busy nap times and late nights to get your projects done when they are sleeping. With older children, especially those in school, you will have an easier time of it. You'll need to become n expert in time-management, however, and maintain a balanced schedule in order to get everything done.

Single moms that work at home have to be self-motivated and disciplined in order to get their work done on time. If you're not a self-starter, you may not want to work from home. As a telecommuter, there is no one there to look over your shoulder and make sure that you are still working - so if you are easily distracted, you may have trouble achieving work from home success. Most likely, though, the calm and peace of mind that comes with working where you live will be a motivator to be more productive.

If you're s single mom that wants to work from home, these small drawbacks probably mean nothing to you in the long run! You're used to wearing more than one hat, and you'll find a way to make it work. The peace of mind and stability that comes from a legitimate work from home job can be priceless. Just make sure that you do your research, plan your time effectively, and don't give up no matter what. There are plenty of forums online that have other work at home moms around willing to help out with whatever advice they can, so make sure you visit, and use them!

Home-Based Business – Keep Home Out Of Work And Work Out Of Home

2008-03-25T15:16:00.000-07:00

Depending on who’s counting, there are between 18 million and 38 million home-based business operating in the United States. In fact, over 52% of all small businesses are home-based. And the phenomenon is growing. Clearly, more and more people are discovering the satisfaction and financial reward of business ownership and the advantages of working from home.

However, along with these advantages come a number of potential problems. One of the most persistent issues for home-based workers is the simple fact that they are conducting a professional activity from their home. The ideal situation is to create a good balance between your work life and your home life even when the commute has been reduced to walking from one room to another.

Get dressed for work

It’s great to spend the day working in your bathrobe but many people say that when they are dressed for leisure, their attitude, voice presence on the telephone and work habits become leisurely as well.

Get a separate phone line

It’s hard to project a professional image when your voicemail says, “Hi, you’ve reached GJT Catering and also the home of Gail, John, Timmy and Scout (woof, woof). Please leave a message.” Potential clients may worry that their message will be received by Timmy, not Gail or John, or whoever is actually the business owner. Plus, on a shared line, you may miss calls when the line is tied up with family issues.

Keep regular hours

Keep regular business hours or at least say that you do, even if you’re more likely to produce those corporate communications at odd hours of the night. Clients like to know how they can reach a business owner and are often uncomfortable calling in the evening when they know it’s a home business. (Of course, there are also those clients who believe that because it’s a home business, you are available 24/7.)

The second big reason is, especially if you’re a mom, working from home can translate to other people as “available during the day” for PTO activities, child pickup and snow day babysitting while “working moms” go off to their places of employment. Of course, it may be that part of the reason you work from home is precisely to be available for these activities. If so, just be sure that you have defined the parameters by advertising your “work hours” then adjusting at your own discretion.

Keeping regular hours is also a good way to tell yourself it’s time to quit and get in some personal or family time.

Maintain a barrier between your work space and your home space

Even though your client may say they understand, no business person really wants to have a telephone conversation with someone whose child is audible in the background. This very typical scenario will lead your client to wonder if you can really pay attention to what they are saying when there are clearly family issues going on at the same time. The ability to shut a door and limit the sounds of home life will lend a much more professional tone to your business.

On the other hand, a door or some other barrier allows you to walk away from the job when it’s time to re-enter family life without being tormented by the piles on your desk or the lure of the computer screen.

Get some exercise and stay out of the fridge

Some people who begin to work from home find that they can better schedule exercise because their time is their own. However, for many, they are no longer walking up the stairs to the office, taking a stroll through the park at lunch or stopping by the gym on the way home. Moreover, the fridge is available, the food is free and no one’s looking. The stress of being a business owner combined with the change in lifestyle can create a less healthy lifestyle. Do yourself a favor and make exercise and healthy food a part of your home office routine.

Take advantage of the advantages

It’s great to be able to take a break from your work, pay a few bills, put a chicken in the oven and take a minute to check in with your teen when he gets home after school. Take advantage of these perks without guilt; you deserve to enjoy your work-at-home life.

Succeeding in the Business of Freelance Writing

2008-03-18T12:21:00.000-07:00

Something that's always surprised me about the freelance writing business is just how many writers there are out there who don't seem to realize that they're running a business.

Succeeding in the Business of Freelance Writing
It never fails to surprise me just how many make no effort whatsoever to try and "sell" themselves. Some simply post a quote and nothing else: no information about themselves, no indication about their skills and experience, nothing. Others post a quote with a short message saying, "I don't know what a 'search engine optimized article' is, but please pick me anyway", or "I have no experience in this, but hopefully I'll be able to do it."

Needless to say, the writers who don't bother to sell themselves never get the gigs. So why don't they make the effort? Because they fail to realize that they're running a business.

Some – not all, but some – of the freelance writers we encounter seem to have somehow picked up the idea that all they have to do to succeed is to be good at writing. Unfortunately, it's not quite as simple as that: to really succeed as a freelance writer, you have to be good at selling yourself. And you have to be aware that you're running a business.

Marketing Your Freelance Writing Business Online
If you really want to run a successful freelance writing business, think about getting a website. Most businesses these days have websites: they're the ideal way for customers to find you, read more about your services and get in touch.

This is another area, however, where a lot of freelance writers fail. Because not just any old website will do. Sure, there are some very professional looking websites out there, run by freelance writers – but there are just as many sites which seem designed to frighten away clients rather than attract them. Amateurish design, tacky animations, clashing colors and even, God-forbid, music, are all the sign of the amateur freelance site.

Getting Your Freelance Writing Website Up and Running
While it's tempting to try and put together a website yourself, unless you have a really sound grasp of website design, this tactic can really backfire. An amateurish website tells your visitors that you're an amateur business, and that you don't have enough faith in the viability of your business to invest in a professional website. All of these things are red flags to clients, who'll go elsewhere in a heartbeat.

Get yourself a professionally designed website – and if your budget can't stretch to an entire website, consider signing up for a personal profile, where for only $25 per year you get your own page, complete with downloadable resume, writing samples and client testimonials .

Start A Hauling/Shopping/Taxi Business

2008-03-15T12:20:00.000-07:00

Here is a simple business anyone with a van or SUV can perform: haul stuff for other people who don't have a way to do it themselves.

You could move lawn mowers, bags of garden soil, playground equipment, Christmas trees, musical instruments, furniture, big dogs from the groomers-you get the idea.

Starting this home business is easy. Make sure your vehicle is in good shape. Be sure your car insurance is up to date. You don't want any trouble if your vehicle should get into a fender-bender.

Now, print up flyers advertising your business. Place the flyers in furniture stores, garden centers, grocery stores, Laundromats, and wherever else you can find a bulletin board. College bulletin boards are prime hunting grounds for business. Also, place ads in your local newspaper.

Once your business takes off your customers will soon be telling their friends, "Hey, I know a guy with a van who will haul it". Word of mouth is a priceless form of free advertising.

How much you should charge for your service depends on what you're hauling and how far you have to haul it. You want to keep the price reasonable, or word will spread of your high prices and your customers will go elsewhere. Reasonable prices and friendly reliable service will build your hauling service fast.

Here's another way to put your gas-guzzler to work: Start a grocery shopping service.

Your customers would call or fax their grocery order to the supermarket. Your customer gives you the money to pay for the groceries. You go to the store and pick up the order for your client.

The growing senior population would love this service. Make sure you place ads in the paper and flyers in supermarkets, Laundromats, and senior citizen clubs.

Here's one more way you can put your vehicle to work! If you have a safe driving record you could provide a taxi service for senior citizens and any latchkey kids who need to get to an after school activity.

You could charge five or six dollars per trip. Give your frequent travelers a break by offering a free ride after a certain numbers of trips.

It would be wise to provide the parents of any kids you transport proof you can be trusted. If the parents say it isn't necessary then insist they check out your driving record, car insurance, and whether or not you have a criminal record. You are protecting yourself by doing this. Bad things happen. You don't want to get caught in the crossfire.

Make sure your vehicle is comfortable and clean for your travelers. Have a fully outfitted first aid kit, a primed fire hydrant, and a toolbox in your car. Accidents do happen, people, even to the safest of drivers. You need to consider the safety of your passengers so insist everyone buckle up.

Prove to be a reliable and trustworthy taxi service and many other parents will soon have you shipping their kids to and from soccer practice.

Hauling furniture, grocery shopping, and a taxi service. You use your vehicle to do these chores for yourself all the time. Start making money doing them for others!

Make Money Wholesaling On eBay

2008-03-11T08:46:00.000-07:00

There are many ways you can make money on ebay, from selling things you no longer need, all the way up to selling merchandise from a wholesaler. This is not the limit however, of the wonderful methods of generating cash off the amazing world of eBay. You can sell property, cars, boats, and even businesses.

There have been transactions as low as a dollar, all the way up to business transfers that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ebay is clearly here to stay. Now it is time for you to get your feet wet on this great money making opportunity.

Here we will focus on selling for a wholesaler, this is where you will promote other peoples products and sell them for a cut of the profit. Lets say for example you find a product you are interested in such as say, stereo speakers. You will then search for a wholesaler that will accept a contract with someone that deals in affiliates and ebay, with the proof that you are an ebay seller and can verify the account on ebay this should not be hard.

Once you have landed this contract with the wholesaler, it is time to set up market strategies, and make sure they conform to what the wholesaler finds acceptable. Make a plan, check it twice and get to work selling.

Once you have the site available for the public to view, you need to weigh out some of the business expenses that will ensure you are not spending more than you are making. By having multiple payment options you can be sure you have all your sales basis covered.

One of the biggest expenses you will encounter will be shipping and storage costs. It is not likely that you will have the space in your home to store a couple thousand pairs of home speakers, and this notion would require some sort of insurance that will be required in order for the wholesaler to relinquish the product to you.

Any notion that you can rent space for cheap is improbable, and again will still require insurance as a measure of protection for you and the wholesaler. So what do you do? Well, the answer is simple. You have the wholesaler keep the product, and ship when necessary to the customer, when purchased.

This will keep the entire product in one place, alleviate the need to worry about shipping, and still ensure that you are able to make the sale. Once the product is sold to a customer, you simply place the order to the wholesaler. They will in turn send the product, charge you for the wholesale cost and the holding and shipping cost and the rest is yours to keep.

This is not a difficult task and you do not even need to leave your seat. What you really need to do is research the product, and its competitors and find a price that is reasonable, and will generate the best profit for what you are doing. What you are really doing is selling the goods like a salesman on a store floor. All the while not even leaving your home, you do not even really need to monitor this whole process, as the customer 's invoice will come in to you via e-mail.

� A clearly laid out business plan. Without a business plan and goals to achieve, then you can not get anywhere. A business plan will map out what you need to succeed and how you will achieve your goals.

� Good research. Whatever your business will need, you will need to be well informed about it. So you will need to do me research so that you become an expert on the niche, product or service. Knowledge about the business is an important home business resource, so you must do the necessary research to be well-informed about the industry or product/service.

� A well set-up office. Your office is another important home business resource. You will need to be productive while working from home. You will therefore need an office that has all you will need to run a smooth business; a computer, printer, internet access, fax, telephone, business cards and a conducive work environment. A suitable desk and appropriate lighting in your office is also an important resource that is often underestimated in its importance. You will sometimes work for many hours in a day, and your work space needs to be comfortable. Allocate some money towards setting up a working environment you will enjoy working from everyday!

� Some money to cover capital outlay and running costs is an important home business resource which you will need. Any business requires some form of investment, and you will need to know how much you have, and how much investments and ongoing marketing your business will need for it to succeed. It is therefore recommended that you start your business while you are still employed, so that you have some income to live on while you are still building your business.

� Support system. This can be a mentor; someone who has succeeded with a similar business, or simply your family and friends. You need to have people close to you who will encourage you and give you any support you need. You can also join a forum of people with the same business like yours. A good support network is a very important home business resource.

� Business leads and clients are a crucial home business resource. Making and creating contacts and networking is very important - you need to start building your potential clients base before you launch your business. Start marketing your business by giving away some products and services. By creating a relationship with your potential customers, you build trust with them, and when you launch your business, it will be easy for them to buy from you.

� Be professional! The way you run your business and relate to your customers is very important. Be prepared to 'go the extra mile' with your customers. Care about your customers, and provide all the information they may need.

� Hire any professional help you may need. Treat your business professionally, and if you need the services of a lawyer or accountant, hire/outsource it. It is more productive and effective to get experts to do what you can not do, leaving you time to focus on your business. You will want to do the best for your business; so if there are any home business resources you do not have, outsource them.

If you have the home business resources outlined above, then your business will succeed. Although your home business may only be a small venture, treat it like a real business, and get all the home business resources any business will need in order to be successful.

Work From Home Answering Phones

2008-03-05T10:21:00.001-08:00

One way to work from home is to hire yourself out to companies wanting to hire people that want to stay at home and work. This is great for people who do not want to commute back and forth everyday. This is known as telecommuting. There are a number of companies you can do that for. There are many places to find employers looking for employees.

These companies break down the jobs into categories including website design, sales, artists, freelance, programmers and more. One way to work from home that these companies offer has is to do customer service work and answer the phone. This type of work includes inbound sales where you get paid to offer solutions and then ask for the order.

There is one company who is unique in how they do this is. This company offers a customer call center that is staffed with people who work from their homes in the United States. These people work as an independent agent. Many times you here of companies moving their call centers over to somewhere like India. There are many companies that are proud to work with American companies providing employees who work right here in the USA.

An Agent is an independent contractor that develops and manages their own business. An Independent Agent contracts with LiveOps under an Independent Contractors Agreement to receive calls from people requesting products or services from clients.
The type of people who successfully work from home with these companies according to them:

1)They are professional and capable of providing a high level of service to all phone calls they receive
2)They enjoy the freedom that working at home allows
them but will be available to work a certain amount of hours a week
3)They are positive and optimistic
4)They are tolerant and accepting of differing view points
5)They are even tempered and handle frustration well
6)They are comfortable with numeric reasoning
7)They log on time, and honor all time commitments

They require you have a computer with high speed internet connection and a separate phone line to receive calls. This is true for many work from home positions. Since you are answering the phone for companies they want no noise in the background. All pets have to be separate for where you are working.

A separate phone line makes sense with all of the interruptions your home phone can bring including the most obnoxious of all, call waiting.

Other telecommuting positions will require you to have a fax number, unlimited long distance, learn how to operate a client resource management system (crm system) use email, and Microsoft windows systems.

If you have a background dealing with customers on the phone working from home in the telecommuting industry may just be for you. You have to be disciplined enough to work when you are working and not get sidetracked with the many distractions working at home can bring.

This is why many companies require a separate work area because they know how difficult it can be at times to focus on working. The rewards of telecommuting are many and worth whatever it takes to get yourself and your home set up properly.

Act On Your Idea To Start A Home Business And Start Making Money At Home

2008-03-03T10:19:00.000-08:00

If you are pondering with the idea to start a home business the secret is to just get started and get into action with the determination to succeed and with the never quit attitude, no matter how long it takes to start making money or what challenges you meet along the way.

It is so important to make a commitment to yourself right at the beginning that you will never quit. This is because none of us are really aware of the challenges that we are going to face and without that strong commitment it is too easy to throw in the towel rather than dig deep within ourselves to find a way to work around the obstacles. If you do decide to quit you will be letting yourself down and that is not a pleasant feeling.

Just recently I met a lady who started her home business 9 months ago and her words to me were ``I am finally on the map now but I regret not having started years ago when I first had the idea to start a home business. It has been a challenge, with its ups and downs but nothing can beat the feeling when you start making money at home.``

For most of us there is a huge learning curve when we start a home business and so it takes time to implement the techniques and actually build a business to the point that we start making money, and this is a critical period when we have to stand very firm on our commitment to never quit. If you are building an online home business then you need to understand that the internet marketing process takes time to learn, implement and take effect before you start making money.

Too often people quit at this stage after putting in hours of hard work and they were more than likely just at the point when their idea to start a home business blossomed into reality and they actually did start making money at home.

It is imperative that you set yourself goals so that you know what you want to achieve and within what time period. Firstly set some small easily attainable goals and then move onto long-terms goals. Goals not only help you stay committed but also keep you encouraged and are a great motivating factor in that they make you stretch further than you normally would to achieve personal success.

You need to constantly remind yourself of WHY you want to start making money at home, whether it be to supplement your income, save for a fabulous holiday, to buy a new car or whether you want to start a home business with the idea of quitting your full-time job.

Keep your goals visible at all times and use pictures as well. I have personally chosen the marquee option on my screensaver and have typed in the quote ``Age Wrinkles the Skin, Quitting Wrinkles The Soul`` which I see often and it certainly gets me through the tough challenges. I rotate the above with these other motivating quotes: ``If it is to be, it is up to me``; ``What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.`` No doubt you have your favorite quotes.

Your goals should be enticing enough to keep you highly disciplined in working on your home business daily. Set aside specific times to devote to your home business and be strict about it, be sure you don`t get easily distracted and let the other members of your household know that you are serious about your home business and it is your `work time`.

Whether the challenges you meet along the way are large or small, by overcoming them with determination will not only see your home business grow but your own personal growth with be tremendous.

If you have a very strong reason to start making money at home you can put the wheels in motion by acting on your idea to start a home business.

Work From Home Jobs- Develop Your Own

2008-03-01T10:17:00.000-08:00

Many people with time on their hands as a result of retirement or downsizing find the days long and even boring. They may not have developed hobbies over their lifetime and they have not been able to find a job to replace the one they lost. One alternative is to develop your own job, hobby or home business. This takes time and lots of work and while initially you may not generate the income you are used to, the days will fly by as you work at building your business.

There are literally thousands of opportunities for people from every walk of life and for many the difficulty is actually figuring out what you want to do. If you are newly retired and have an income, then your priorities are much different than those who have been laid off with a family to support and need to generate income. Either way, one of the important attributes is to develop something that is interesting and gives you the type of job satisfaction that many people look for.

Another element that deters many people from developing their own home business is the fear of failure. While many business initiatives do fail, many are also successful and the trick is to learn from your mistakes and then try again with an improved model. Your experience in the work force can also be applied to your own home business, so it is important to always be open minded and to learn from everything that you take on.

Start by listing ideas for a home business. Carry pen and paper with you at all times so that you can jot down ideas were ever you are. Browse the internet for work at home ideas as well. Everyone should be careful about all of the scams that are on the Internet, so proper evaluation of these ideas as well as any ideas that you develop on your own is important. Many get rich schemes, are just that and you want to avoid these.

Once you have a list of work from home jobs, the next step is to evaluate them to see which ones might be the right one for you. There are various parameters that should be used however in general they include financial, personal and practicality.

Financial includes the usual sales evaluations, market evaluation, cost of production, loans if needed and net revenue or profit. Care should be taken to perform a realistic evaluation to avoid risky investments. Personal parameters include your own personal likes and dislikes. There is no use in starting a business that really does not interest you, since you will not put the effort into something you really do not enjoy and you may fail as a result. From a practical perspective, can you operate your business out of your home? Do you need to add space or employees? Does your family support this initiative?

Performing a quick evaluation will eliminate those ideas that really will not be successful and allow you to focus on those opportunities that may be of more interest to you and have a higher probability of being successful.

Things To Know When You Work From Home

2008-02-28T10:15:00.000-08:00

If you have made the decision to work from home you are probably experiencing mixed feelings. A feeling of relief that you no longer have to go into the office you hate and a feeling of fear that your business may not succeed.

The first thing when you have decided to work from home is to determine if you will be working for your self or someone else? If you decide to search the internet for work from home jobs, be careful not to fall into a scam.

If you have done a search on "work at home", you may have ran into some of these work at home scams and did not even know it. Most of the people looking for work at home web pages could not even spot a work at home scam. This is most like due to the fact that they really want to work from home and the claims of some scams make them assume it 's real.

The first scam I came across seemed so real and you have probably come across it yourself, Envelope Stuffing: Work from home companies usually have an advert that is small and looks real, the company will ask you for a small fee to cover costs of send out the information. What you will then receive is the same add that you will need to send out to draw more people into the scam

What you need to remember is- Mailing houses have equipment that will fold, insert, seal and frank - all in one procedure at a rate of 5,000 an hour! High speed label applicators can put labels onto envelopes at a rate of 12,000 per hour. So why would they pay you to do it? This is one work from home idea you really should not pin your hopes on!

The most profitable work from home business will be based around the internet. You will need to create a website, this can be either done by yourself or you can pay someone to do this for you.

Once your website has been created there are many things you need to consider. Search engine traffic can be the greatest traffic you can get for your work from home business. So if you are running a business from home and have a website you need to do everything possible to increase a Top Search Engine Ranking. One of the easiest ways you can do this is to create a Goggle Site map.

When decision has been made and you have decided to work from home, you need to work out how you will combine your home life with your work. When you work from home you may find it can cause stress and pressure on both elements if you are not cautious in how you separate your work and your family. If you try to operate from a desk stuffed into the corner one of your rooms and having slapdash working hours will not work for the majority of couples or families.

You need to plan your time carefully so you can fit every thing in. When you work from home it 's easy to get caught up doing house work when you should be doing your actual business work.

Set yourself time scales, if you can have an office with-in your home this will help. Treat it as going to work, set the time and do not indulge in anything other than your business work until your set time ends.

Try not to work too much, sometimes working from home can make you feel like you never get away from your work. When your day is done, close the door and do not return until your next set time. This will keep you eager and motivated to return!

3 Ways to Spot Online Scams!

2008-02-26T17:20:00.000-08:00

A lot of people go online everyday and do many different searches for 100's of topics. One of the main topics that people who are sick and tired of their jobs search for a work at home opportunity. Being bored in life is not the reason why they do this. They do this because they are probably sick and tired of working for someone else for minimum wages.

It is not easy to find a good and solid work at home opportunity online because the fact is that there are plenty of scams out there. You know, programs that promise you riches for a fee but at the end just take your money and disappear. What you are left with is with, no info, no money, and a big disapointment.

As long as there are people willing and wanting to spend money on a new program that they think will get them home full time or even part time, there will always be people online who would not mind scamming those honest people who just want to make a decent income online.

Here are some things to look for if you are searching for a legitimate program to make money online:

1. Fake testimonials

Nothing gains trust faster and better than a testimonial on a sales website. Any webmaster can design their own website in anyway that they like it and put fake testimonials on it to make it appear that their product and service is the best out there.

So how do you know that a testimonial is a fake or not? Here are some pointers:
If a website has an audio or video testimonial, then that should give you a hint that they are very real and that the program is worth to join.

If a testimonial has a picture of the person attached to it, Another thing that you can do is to check the picture itself. Many testimonials show a picture of the person who submitted it. If that photo looks like a professional studio picture, then it is pretty much close to being a fake one. Any webmaster can go online and get any picture of anyone that they find. It is that easy.

A good way to find out that the program is good is by looking if people who leave their testimonials, also have a link to their own website. When you see this, you know that the testimonials are for real.

2. Certification sites and their seals

Certification logos to the BBB, the TRUSTe Privacy Program, HonestEOnline, I-Cop, and others help to find if a program is honest or not. If you go to a program that you like and see any of these certification logos, you can allow yourself to get some sense of assurance that you can trust it. You also need to make sure that you move your mouse over the certification seal and click on it. If you are not able to click on it, and it does not open up to a new page, you can then know that the website owner is stealing the images without paying for the service.

3. Online forums

Another way to find if a particular program is good or not is by going to a work at home forum and see if this program is any good. You can usually find info about a program by going to any of the search engines and do a search for it. What you will find is lots of info and feedbacks about the program.

Now, if you find that 90 is negative, you can be assured that the program is good. The reason why I am saying this is because some people, when they join an honest program, think that magic will happen as soon as they pay for the program. They think that they can just do nothing and still make money. When they see that no money comes in, they instantly bash the program and say bad things about it everywhere online.

Making The Most Of Your Home Business

2008-02-26T17:19:00.000-08:00

A work at home business opportunity seems like a dream come true to most people. However, although there are many positive things about a work at home business opportunity, there are also some pitfalls that some people may not realize exist. Here are some suggestions for making the most of your work at home business opportunity.

First, it is very helpful to develop a simple system of organization for the paperwork involved in your work at home business opportunity. Keeping things well organized is key to maintaining excellence in your work at home business opportunity. Developing some sort of simple framework for organization will help streamline time and efforts when things get busy with your work at home business opportunity.

With your work at home business opportunity, you may also find that it is helpful to set specific hours of operation. Sometimes, being at home can seem to others as if you are available any time they need you. Setting up actual hours of operation helps to separate responsibilities to clients of your work at home business opportunity, family members, and friends, in a way that is manageable.

A work at home business opportunity creates a need for much self-reliance and organization. Making a list of things that need to be done each day will also help ensure that nothing important is missed within your work at home business opportunity. It also helps to set deadlines for each project related to your work at home business opportunity. This helps many people who tend to put things off, as a work at home business opportunity does not allow for procrastination. When you are pursuing a work at home business opportunity, it also may be a good idea to write down a list of objectives. Then, take the list of goals related to your work at home business opportunity, and share it with someone else. Keeping yourself accountable in this way will often help compel you to finish the tasks you set out to complete within your work at home business opportunity.

When pursuing a work at home business opportunity, another good idea is setting up a home office or workspace in one’s house. Rather than working in a main part of the house where many people come and go, it is helpful to move your work at home business opportunity to a quieter room or area where you can concentrate. This is also helpful when one is making phone calls related to a work at home business opportunity.

Finally, it can be very easy to feel isolated from others when one is involved in a work at home business opportunity. Especially if you tend to enjoy personal contact with others, it is a wise idea to set up face to face meetings with clients or other contacts related to your work at home business opportunity. This will allow you to have regular human interaction, which is vital for those involved in a work at home business opportunity.

A work at home business opportunity can present some challenges, but they are not unable to be overcome. Hopefully, applying some of these ideas will help you to reap the most benefits out of your experience with your work at home business opportunity.

Work at Home/ Daily pay with Benefits - AmeriPlan

OK - I Am Now a HUGE Fan of SFI!

2008-02-02T09:39:00.000-08:00

When I started seeking WFH opportunities I found that a lot of them required a lot more time and effort than I had at my disposal, so when I found SFI I was thrilled to find a system that I could execute in a really short amount of time without a lot of effort - and FREE to join at that.

SFI was totally turn-key and ready to go, and all I really had to do was ask myself, "Do you want to work for 40 years or more to make $40,000 a year or less just so you can retire on 40% of what wasn't enough in the first place?" Well I don't, so I took the plunge. What did I have to lose? It WAS free to join, after all - And BOY am I glad!

I literally got a check in my mailbox almost immediately - and I really wasn't even looking for it. As a matter of fact I had only told a couple of people about it, I hadn't even gotten a chance to really "promote" it yet. Even better, I hadn't even logged on to my "backoffice" since the first day (you can bet I do NOW though!) :)

Imagine owning a profitable home business that you could start today WITHOUT:

- Technical know-how,
- Large capital investment or overhead,
- Jeopardizing your current career,
- Any of the headaches of owning a traditional business.

What if all the tools and techniques were provided for you instantly with simple-to-follow, step-by-step instructions? What if I told you it was FREE to join with NO obligation whatsoever! Interested?

Listen, I'm a very busy WAHM&G with no time to waste on dead end streets. I don't need another office, I don't want the headache of an inventory, and I definitely don't need to be hosting "parties" or chasing down folks in the grocery store to throw my business card at. If it ain't automated - I ain't interested!

If you feel like I do and want to make serious money on YOUR schedule, and KNOW the JOY of getting a generous check in the mail - why not join me and take that important first step and visit SFI?

It's probably not for you - but I guess you'll have to visit SFI to find out! WHAT are you waiting for????

I Was Sick And Tired Of Work-At-Home Schemes For Stay-At-Home Moms

2008-01-25T12:31:00.000-08:00

In the year 1998, after undergoing various criminal background checks, polygraph exams, psychological tests and other tests, I was finally hired on with the Ft. Worth Police Department.

I was ecstatic about landing the job I really wanted, but I had one drawback. I was a mom with two baby girls. The oldest child was almost two years old and the youngest was just seven months old.

How was I going to work full time with two babies?

I began working evenings so I could stay home with the kids while my husband was at work. Since I had to be at work before my husband got home, I left the kids with someone else on my way to work. Once he got home, he took over for the rest of the day.

My husband had to cook dinner, change diapers, give the kids a bath and put them to bed every night. Quitting time from work was at 11:30 p.m. each night but I wasn't able to get to sleep until around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. (I guess it just took awhile to wind down from the day).

Wake-up time was usually between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m. because the kids starting waking up.

Exhausted from getting only four or five hours of sleep each night, I began getting sick. While working these long hours, I developed pneumonia three times and came down with bronchitis several times. I had to go to the hospital at least twice for breathing treatments and antibiotics.

By the time 2002 came around, I was working until 1:00 a.m. or 2:00 a.m. every night. These hours gave me even less sleeping time. I was consuming about one pot of coffee each night just to stay awake.

In February 2002, I found out I was pregnant again. I continued working the same hours and in my sixth month of pregnancy, I became dehydrated from all the coffee and had to go to the hospital again. The doctors took care of the problem and sent me home. The baby was going to be fine.

The two older girls were now 3 and 4 years old. This new baby was supposed to be another girl.

About a week before my due date, the baby started kicking wildly. It felt as if she was trying to kick her way into the world. A few days later, I began feeling nauseous and went in for a check-up.

The doctors found the baby had become wrapped up in the umbilical cord and would be born as a stillborn. The next day, they induced my labor and I gave birth to the stillborn baby girl approximately seven hours later.

About three weeks later, we heard a news report about the dangers of drinking coffee and being pregnant. Apparently, they had discovered drinking coffee while pregnant could be very dangerous. The caffeine could transfer to the baby causing the baby to become hyperactive.

Could it be, the coffee I drank is what caused the baby to kick wildly and eventually get tangled up in the cord? Nevertheless, I didn't take it lightly. I took off work for the rest of the year to recover from the loss of the baby.

In 2003, about 7 months after I lost the baby, I found out I was pregnant again. This time, I decided to cut my hours to working just part-time. I cut back to about one cup of coffee a day and eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He was born two years ago, and I haven't returned to work yet. I decided it just wasn't worth it.

Because of my decision, our debt has grown out of control. We needed an extra source of income to keep up with the rising costs of living.

My husband works long hours every day to offset my lack of income. I have tried every work -at- home scheme imaginable, but nothing has turned out profitable.

I decided if I was going to work, I needed to be able to bring the kids with me and work during the day.

I lost valuable time with my kids while working, and decided it's time we allow moms to bring their kids with them.

To my knowledge, there are no companies that will hire you AND allow you to bring your kids to work with you.

Due to my rebellion of returning to the traditional work place, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I decided to create a service that would allow me to work outside of the home and bring my children with me- every day.

The service attempts to match up clients and workers but in a new way. For every job that's posted on the website, the client has agreed to allow the moms to bring their children to the job with them.

If you're a homeowner and/or just need to hire someone to complete your domestic-type job, please consider hiring a mom today. By hiring a mom, you are changing the lives of parents and helping your community.

Renae is a stay-at-home mom of 3. She's committed to finding moms jobs that will allow them to bring their children with them. To learn more about the service go to http://www.momsoncall.net

3. Concierge/Corporate Concierge: Help with tasks like picking up dry cleaning, returning videos, finding limousine services, event planning, taking cars for oil change etc.

4. Child Day Care: A child day care in your home if you have a basement or extra room/space. You need to purchase small chairs and tables, games, toys, and outdoor play items. Prices vary with area or neighborhood. Most states require a license and some training, especially 1st Aid and Child CPR.

5. Information Abstractor: You sum up an article into a paragraph or two, without loosing the essence. You have to be fast and knowledgeable in your chosen field.

6. Errand Service: You charge hourly to perform a wide variety of errands for clients. Busy moms, single parents, executives and seniors are good targets.

7. Web Writer: Track down articles on certain subjects. A genuine interest or knowledge in the subject helps a great deal here. You put the pieces together to make one tasty snack.

8. Relocation Consultant/Specialist: Your work is to help new people moving into a city find a home/apartment, job, schools etc. according to need. This works best in high-population cities.

9. Perfumer: Play around with different combos of essences until you come up with a fragrance that's pleasant and unique.

10. Personal Shopper: Not to be mistaken with Mystery Shopping (below). Your job is to shop for busy executives. You charge hourly, and might include gift wrapping.

11. Mystery/Secret Shopper: You get paid to pose as a customer and shop at department stores or malls. Your work is to report back to the company about service, cleanliness etc. You get paid hourly or by gift certificates, and in most cases you keep your purchases.

12. Personal Chef: Requires great culinary skills or you be a trained chef. As a personal chef, your work is to create and prepare great-tasting customized meals for individuals and families (that can afford the service, of course). Farther info: United States Personal Chef Association.

13. Bed & Breakfast: You need an extra room or two that you can rent out. You don't need an extra bath but highly recommended. Best around tourist attractions. Breakfast can be simply coffee and/or juice and a bowl of cereal.

14. Computer Tutor: If you have a knack for working with computers you can earn some extra cash helping newbies to learn how to operate systems.

15. Export Agent: Learn the basics of exporting (the better if you've worked with exporting firms). Offer exporting services to small-medium companies/manufacturers for a commission.

16. Resume Writer: Many people find resume writing scary and would gladly pay someone else to do it for them. You can make a full-time living in Resume writing- some resume writers make six-figure incomes!

17. Hair Care: If you're good at cutting/styling hair, offer to cut or style at home or at work. Charge slightly lower than the barbershop/salon. This saves busy people time and money. You could arrange to do this on regular basis, so they get their hair done regularly and you have a steady income.

18. Lunch/Dinner Delivery: Most people would like a nice home-cooked meal, but don't want or have no time to do the cooking. If you're a good cook you can offer to deliver home cooked meals for lunch, dinner or both. You could also specialize in ethnic dishes if you have a large population of a certain community in your area.

19. Drop Shipping: Sell products that you don't have to ever store, ship or even touch. Buy on wholesale price and sell on retail. Better still, you get to use your customers' money to buy the products that you've already sold. This is the beauty of something called Drop Shipping. The drop shipper packs and ships the products to your customer in your name. How sweet is that?

20. Candle Making: People, women especially, love candles for themselves or as gifts. They would especially love unique handcrafted, scented candles. This could be both fun and financially rewarding for you.

21. Crocheting: If you're good at or are interested in crocheting, you can make some extra cash from this. Better still, this is something that can be done at odd moments-what's better than to earn some money utilizing time that would have gone to waste, while doing something you love?

22. Photography: Banks, insurance and advertising companies need up to date and accurate photographs of cars, boats and properties. It's impractical to have company representative in all areas and will gladly pay someone to do this. You could be that someone.

23. Online Auctions: People are making handsome incomes from home through online auctions, especially eBay™. And no, it’s not about emptying your garage (what happens when your garage runs out of stuff?). Also works well with Drop Shipping (#19 above).

Remember, you need very little money to start a work at home or home business venture, and you can start in your spare time. I will continue to update this article with more ideas and tips.

The 7 Secrets of Home Business Success

2008-01-24T08:34:00.000-08:00

If you look at the word "success" you will notice that it has 7 letters. Well, there are also 7 secrets to home business success and each one can go along with the letters of the word "success." Hopefully, sharing this with you will give you the knowledge and motivation you need to achieve the success you want.

Ok let's take each letter of the word "success" one at a time to give you 7 secrets of home business success:

"S" stands for Solo focus. This means that whatever you want to do with your life, your home business or anything else, you MUST have a solo, or one focus. You can't allow yourself to be distracted. You must identify your goal and go for it and not allow outside influences distract you. If you can't get past this first thing it is going to be very hard to get anything to work efficiently for you.

"U" stands for Undying belief, leadership and imagination. You must, at all costs, have total belief for what you are doing in your home business. You must believe that what you want to do is not only possible but critical. You must develop imagination when dealing with home business problems because some things are not going to have straightforward answers. You must learn to think outside the box to keep your business moving ahead. Again, you must do this totally and completely.

"C" stands for Crystal Clear path. You must visualize the path in front of you. You must know exactly where you are headed with your home business. You will run into obstacles along the way but you cannot, under any circumstances, allow anything to throw you off your path.

"C" stands for Connection to the heart. This is something nobody can teach you. What this means is this... You must LOVE what you are doing. It must be something that if you don't do it you will not be fulfilled. This must be one of the most important things in your life and home business. Use your brain to think. But use your heart to drive you.

"E" stands for Extraordinary Energy. This doesn't mean that you have to be able to run a marathon. But you have to be enthused to run your home business. You have to want to wake up in the morning and get to work. You can't lie around watching the TV. You can't make excuses that you're too tired. Your energy level MUST be high because building a successful home business is very hard work. Without the proper energy, you don't stand much of a chance to go the distance.

"S" stands for Skill Set. I'm not saying you have to know how program a computer, be a web design expert, a guru marketer, or anything else like that. I'm talking about your people skills, your communication skills. You must be able to communicate with people. You must be able to get people to have confidence in your ability to help make them successful especially if you're promoting a home business opportunity. You must be able to communicate your sincerity and belief in the business.

"S" stands for Stop at nothing. The main point of this is not to allow negativity of others get to you or let failures bring you down. There will always be people who are going to try to convince you that you're wasting your time doing what you're doing. You must be absolutely determined that you will succeed in your home business, and nothing that anybody says should be able to convince you otherwise. Failures are certain but you cannot let them stop you. The moment you quit is the moment you guarantee your home business will never succeed.

There you go. Those are the 7 secrets of home business success. Notice I didn't say anything about needing to be super smart, a great ad writer, an amazing marketer, a good copywriter, or any of the other things you were probably thinking of. Everything in this list is ALL about your attitude and mindset. If you have a totally positive attitude you'll succeed in your home business and anything else you do in life. If you don't, you won't. Don't let anything get in your way. It's that simple!

You Can Succeed Making Money Online

2008-01-23T16:28:00.000-08:00

There are many people who say that you can not make money online, they will tell you that it is all scams. Then there are those who tell you that they tried and failed or knew some one who lost money. The problem more likely was that they went about marketing on the internet wrong. When you market online the correct way it will have dramatic effects on your outcome

You need to start by creating an effective marketing plan. There are some simple things that you need to include in that plan. You need to know your product and market, know who and where your prospects are and know your competition.

Getting to know the product or service that you are selling is a must, so make sure you use it yourself. When you use the product then you get to know the strengths and weaknesses of it. You will also have the ability to answer questions that your prospects may have about it.

Once the strong points are known then you have identified who your target audience is. You can now set up a marketing campaign promoting the strengths of the product. This will be advertising to your target audience and not to everyone. This is half the battle in internet marketing, too many people advertise to everyone and not there target audience. Look at commercials do car companies run commercials during children's programming, no that is not there target audience and a waste of time and money. You need to do the same on the internet.

Now you know your target market, so you need to know where your prospects are. Find out where they are online and be there also. Do not openly market your products to them as this will only turn them off. Get to know your prospects, what they are looking for and what problems do they have. Since you know your product and the strengths ands weaknesses you can figure out how your product can provide a solution for them. This is something to incorporate into your marketing campaign.

You will also want to study your competition. Get to know the strengths and weaknesses of their product also. Once you know the weakness you can point that out in your marketing also. See who they are advertising to and how they are advertising. Are they doing something that you can incorporate into your advertising?

Once you have all the information of the the product, your target and your competition you can put together an effective marketing plan. Put it all together by appealing to your prospects, showing the strengths of your product over your competition and how your product help them solve there problems.

In order to succeed online there is one important thing that you must do and that is not quit. Success will not happen overnight. It will take time and research. If once approach does not work try something different. But the only way to fail is to quit.

Work for Yourself Like you Would Someone Else

2008-01-22T08:54:00.000-08:00

Working for yourself should be taken as seriously as going out to work for someone else. It takes time, dedication and patience to build a successful work at home business, so do not give up before you get started.

I do not know how many times I hear or read about people thinking they will become rich over night once they sign up with a program on the internet. What they may not realize is that it is actually a very real business that requires work and commitment. Just having a website or two on some traffic exchanges is not going to cut it. Daily attention needs to be paid to this business.

A very wise woman has said that this business is like a garden. You need to plant the seeds and tend to it for it to grow. It will not grow over night and it also will not grow with out the necessary attention it needs. If the business grew over night I think every one would be doing it. The fact is, this business can be hard work and requires a dedicated and motivated owner.

I also read a good post in a forum I frequent about people working for someone else for years and years and when they decide they are tired of it and start a work at home business, they quit within a month or two because they are not making any money. They give up before they get started, instead of dedicating their time and effort to make their business grow. Dedicating their time and effort like they did for their boss, so the boss can get richer while their wage stays the same.

Even if it took five years for your business to become successful it would be worth it, would it not? It would pay for itself in time, financially and the time you put in. You would have the freedom to spend time with your family and do the things you love. Waiting five years is a small price to pay when you compare it to the 40 plus years you put in to a regular job working for someone else. Even when the 40 years are up, some people cannot even enjoy retirement because they are not financially secure. Pensions only pay so much.

Starting a home business may be a scary thing for some people so that may be one of the reasons they give up so easily. It is out of their comfort zone and they may not know how to handle it. Some people may think they do not have time to work on a home business, especially if they have another job. If someone told you that in five years they would guarantee your financial future, but you would have to put in a few hours a week to make it happen, would you do everything you could to find those hours and make it work? There are probably a lot of people who would.

It is hard to see the future when trying to build a home business because there are times of uncertainty. Getting discouraged and feeling like quitting are all normal emotions when getting a home business off the ground. Patience, effort, time and dedication are key ingredients when building a business from home. Sometimes it is hard to do but in the long run it will be worth it and you will wonder why you did not do it sooner.

Starting A Small Home Business On A Budget

2008-01-21T11:29:00.000-08:00

By: Zachary Thompson

Starting a small home business on a budget is extremely possible. You will be amazed at how quickly you can expand your budget and use your profits to grow your new home business. The key is to select a small home business that offers products that are consumable. This will ensure that you have a continual flow of repeat customers to keep your business operational and profitable. Here are some tips for starting a small home business on a budget.

Select a small home business that can be based on a consumable product. The wellness industry is rapidly growing as more and more consumers are paying attention to their health. You can market and sell a variety of health related products in the wellness industry that will benefit your customers and bring you repeat sales that last for many years. For example, skin care products are extremely popular. When a customer uses up the entire product, they will return to your small home business to order more. This ensures that you have repeat clients on a continual basis to keep your business profitable and growing.

Choose a small home business that has no or very little start-up costs. There are many places on the Internet where you can become a distributor for a specific set of wellness related products with no start-up costs at all. This means that as you distribute the product and earn a residual income, you can put the profits back into the business to help it grow and expand rapidly. Before you know it a few sales a week will turn into a many sales per day while you grow and expand your distributorship.

Some people select wellness products that are inexpensive or are offered at whole sale prices. This means that you can sell these products or provide a service to others without sinking a fortune in the start-up of the business. Each time that you make a sell or a client uses your service, set aside part of the money to re-invest in your small home business. For example, you can save half of your profit to purchase more products for your inventory. Or you can use half of the profit to market and advertise your new small home business. Using your profits to build and expand your business will enable you to stay within a budget and have the least amount of risk in your business.

Another key factor to staying on a budget with a new small home business is to plan your expenses. Do you really need a new computer to operate your business? Do you really need a new outfit to attend a trade show or informational seminar? There are many times that new business owners feel that they absolutely have to have a certain item to be successful. Stop and think about your purchases and determine if you really must have the new item to operate the business. You can always upgrade your computer or buy that outfit in the future after your business has become stronger

Learn the tax deductions that you are entitled with your small home business. For example, you may be able to take off a percentage of your mortgage, internet connection fees and even electricity. You should consult with a financial advisor to find out what types of things you need to save receipts for and enable you to take the highest tax deductions to save you money and help you operate the small home business on a budget.

Making Money Online - The Secrets You Always Wanted To Know

2008-01-14T15:38:00.000-08:00

Like many of you, I hated getting up everyday and going to the same unfulfilling 9 - 5 job. I wanted to find a way to work from home, so I could have more freedom.

What goals do you want to accomplish by starting your own online business? How much monthly income would you like to make? Are you looking to just supplement your income, or do you want to replace your unrewarding 9-5 job? Do you want to have the freedom to work when you want to, spend more time with your family, take more vacations, work from home in your pajamas, etc? Do you need extra income for college, a new car, house, etc?

Well, the sky's the limit with an internet marketing business! You no longer have to allow an employer to dictate how much you're worth per hour or how many hours you’re required to work. With internet marketing, there's no limit as to how much money you can make.

The best thing about making money online is that you don't have to be computer savvy to be successful. You don't even need your own website or your own products to sell.

There are literally thousands of ways to make money online, and new ways are being developed all the time. Some of the easiest techniques are Affiliate Marketing, Adsense, Adwords, Selling Informational Products, etc. Most online programs are great because you don't have to stock or ship any inventory. You don't have to do anything when the products/services are sold. You do the work one time and get paid over and over again.

Because of the unlimited income potential, it's very important to financially educate yourself. Once you double, triple, or quadruple your current income, you need to learn how to properly invest and grow your money, so you can make even more $$. Don’t just hand your money over to any financial advisor. Many financial advisors talk a lot about investing, but they don't even take their own advice. That’s why you need to read and financially educate yourself, which is the best investment ever! Educate yourself as much as you can about the one issue that affects your existence the most - MONEY.

Five Tips to Stay Away From Work At Home Scams

2008-01-11T16:24:00.000-08:00

There are many different types of work at home jobs. Not every job opportunity is legitimate. Thorough research has to be done before you pick the right opportunity. Caution needs to be exercised. A lot of people fall victims to scam opportunities. In the process they lose a lot of their money. Here are my tips on how you can separate the good opportunities from the bad ones:

1. Do you have to pay? If you have to pay to sign up for a work at home job offer then it’s something you have to stay away from.

2. Do your research: ‘Google’ the company and scan through the results you get. If anyone has been burnt by the company then they probably shared their story on the internet. Also try to search for the company name and the word ‘scam’ together. However please bear in mind that if you don’t come across any bad things written about this company it does not necessarily mean it’s a good opportunity.

3. Speak to others: If you know someone who has also signed up with this company, try to speak to them and get their thoughts and experiences about the company.

4. Street Address: If a company has no street address but only P.O box address then you have to be cautious. Why is it hiding its street address? Beware.

5. If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is. No one can get rich without putting in the hard yards. Don’t be tempted by offers that promise the world to you.

Always use your common sense. If you have any doubts then stay away from the opportunity. Its better to be cautious than to be burnt and lose money.
