Helpful Tips For Starting Your Internet-Based Home Business

If you are thinking of starting an Internet home business, the tips discussed here will help you make smart choices and get started on the right foot. There's almost nothing more rewarding than working from home, and no easier way to do it than on the Internet. However, there still some pitfalls you'll want to avoid because they can make or break your business. The following tips will help you avoid these pitfalls and secure the long-term success of your business:

1. Start with a 'model' and a 'plan'

Two 'must have' items for any Internet home business include: A)a proven business model, and B) a plan of action. Even though Internet businesses are often easier to set up and profit from than traditional businesses, they still require you to have a vision and marketing plan in place. You don't want to 'fly blind.' Make sure you've identified a profitable target market, have a system in place for plucking customers from that market.

2. Leverage your profits

One mistake made by new business owners is in spending the money generated by their business on everything except their business! There's nothing wrong with setting aside some of the profits for yourself, after all, that's one reason you went into business. However, you must set aside and reinvest enough of your profits each month so that your operating budget will grow. For example, if you spent $20 on traffic generation this month, and earned $150, why not put $40 or $60 towards traffic generation next month? Better yet, try putting in $80 to $100. If you know that more traffic will mean more leads and more sales, it's a no-brainer because your profits next month stand to double or even triple.

3. Learn to delegate

Even the most successful internet home business owners dislike (or simply aren't good at) certain tasks associated with running their business. What do you absolutely hate? What's one area where you feel your skills need a lot of improvement? These areas of 'weakness' can suck a way a lot of valuable time that you could better spend doing what you're really good at. If you have the means, consider hiring someone to do those jobs or commit to finding a way to do it faster on your own.

4. Take Daily Action

Think about what you can do each day to grow your business, even if you think you've got all the pieces in place. You can always benefit from more traffic and more leads, right? Stay up to date on market research and add new keywords to your pay-per-click campaigns, or take a spare hour to write that article you've been putting off. Compose a message to your opt-in list, and offer them a new 'freebie' to build good will and keep your open rates up.

Last, but not least, don't forget to take a break and just enjoy the freedom of being your own boss. Go for a walk or run a few errands. It's important to get out and interact with people, especially if you work alone at home!

subject line: Before You Do Anything

Hello "autoresponder code here",

How are you? We're doing well here.

Here’s another brilliant home business article for you!

-------------------------------------

Try It Out First

You’re starting a home business. Before you go any further and start investing your time and cash it's a good idea to test things out on a small scale.

Here are some things you can do.

No matter weather you plan to sell physical things, or your starting a website build a prototype. A prototype is a small version of your product that you build quickly to prove your idea is feasible. Show your prototype to a few people to see what they think. If you get a good response then you know you have a winner.

If you are providing a product or service why not test it out on a few customers. Give them a free try or a big discount to make sure that everything runs smoothly and the customers are satisfied and happy with your product.

And don't forget to do some kind of survey to find out exactly what your customer thinks of your service. You could hand it to the customer, include it with your product, or call them up and say that you are just calling to make sure everything is went well.

So what ever you are planning remember it's a good idea to test it out on a small scale before you hit the big time. Trying it out gives you the opportunity to build confidence in yourself and your business without making big costly mistakes.

I hope that’s helpful. Talk to you later!

subject line: Attract Money and Material

Hello again "autoresponder code here",

I'm excited that you take time each week to let us into your life.
Please feel free to write in and share any of your tips and ideas on
how we can make this newsletter more informative and meaningful for you.
We'd love to hear from you!

This week we're taking a look at a powerful little article I found.

==========================================

How Can I Use Affirmations to Attract Money and Material
Possessions?" - by Jeff Staniforth



So you desire to gain material things in life? Affirmations are usually effective in this respect - maybe even more so than with other desires because material desires often come with stronger emotional attachments.

You'll recall that in my previous article, "Why Do Some Affirmations *Work* - and Others Don't?" I emphasized that affirmations that are emotionally charged are the ones most likely to work. So when you are emotionally connected to your desire for material things, you can use the power of affirmations to see how quickly your need is manifested!

Power Affirmations for Attracting Money.
If your desire is to have an abundance of money to fill your needs, practice this affirmation: "
I always have an abundance of money to meet all my needs."
Repeat it several times, and then stop affirming.
Be silent while knowing, visualizing, and feeling how it is to already have the amount of money you desire.
Feel as though it has already happened, and that all your needs are more than satisfied. While in this state, hold yourself open to all the ways and means by which you will have money flow into your life to meet your every need.

Following are other power affirmations for abundant supply.
Choose the affirmations that feel appropriate to you --those that resonate with you, or strike an emotional chord.
It is important that the words feel comfortable to you and are in line with who you are.
Feel free to create one for your specific need by substituting other words that have special meaning to you:

Affirmations of Abundant Supply:

* I am now open to receive.
* Life is easy; I have an abundance of whatever I need.
* I now have surplus, all my needs are being met.
* I have unlimited abundance.
* I now give and receive freely.
* This is a rich universe and there is plenty for all of us.
* I now live in a rich and loving universe.
* Money comes to me easily and effortlessly.
* I am always supplied with whatever I need.
* I move forward with an expectancy of my greatest good.
* I look for and receive a bountiful supply.
* My greatest good is coming to me NOW.

The last affirmation was a turning point for me personally.

I've since created about 20 variations of this affirmation, and created a screen saver I call "My Ideal Relationship With Money".

And, for a limited time only, I am giving this "Invest in your future" screen saver away for Free when you purchase the Sculptor 3 program. For details, go to http://www.affirmware.com.au/#xxxxx

TIP: How to Maintain the Emotional Charge of Your Affirmations

Most people who practice affirmations experience the challenge of maintaining the emotional charge of their affirmations. That's because although the power of thought is amazingly strong, it remains strong for a short period of time.

Its quality changes and tends to diminish with each repetition.

For example: Suppose you recite an affirmation such as: "All my needs are met instantaneously." The affirmation produces a feeling, and you understand and connect with the affirmation at a certain level.

But when you continue repeating the affirmation, "All my needs are met instantaneously," again and again, the thought seldom maintains the same level of emotion previously achieved. With each repetition, you tend to lose the mental picture of what the words mean, and they start to have less meaning.

Affirmations that are meaningless fail to reach deep enough to touch the limitless powers of your subconscious mind.

To prevent this from happening, I've developed the software program called Sculptor 3, which combines affirmations with 7 of the best results-amplifying technologies that are tested and proven to increase the power and speed of manifestation.

subject line: Do You Need a License?

Hi "autoresponder code here""

Glad you're back! I sure do hope your week has gone well!

Do you know if?

You Need a License?

Did you know that there are many types of businesses that are strictly regulated and controlled by the government?

I once knew a lady whose great idea was to make croutons from her house. Needless to say, that didn't last long when the inspector heard about it.

If you think you've got an idea that’s going to make you big money, there might be a reason why everyone else isn't doing it and that reason could be related to the law.

As I mentioned above if you are going to sell food, you will need to license and register for hygiene and safety inspections. For many reasons most local government agencies are especially strict if you plan to handle food especially raw meat. Food licenses aren't too hard to get provided you are willing to have your kitchen and products inspected at regular intervals

An in home daycare will need a license. There are all sorts of courses to take and regular inspections to go through. If you ever wonder why there’s a shortage of in home childcare providers it’s because it’s so hard to keep up with the rules and make a profit.

Gambling is almost always strictly regulated. It might be fine to gamble privately with your friends depending on where you live, but as soon as you start running it as a business you are on shaky ground. You'll also find that most places have laws against lotteries. Applying for a license to turn your home into a gambling establishment is pretty sure to fail.

You will need a license if you plan to serve alcohol. Getting an alcohol license for your home, unless it's for some kind of special event and the drinking is just incidental is pretty much out of the question. Alcohol licenses are subject to appeals from people who live near you. So unless your whole neighborhood is ok with it you may have trouble.

Anything medical will probably need a license. When I say medical, I mean doctors, dentists, opticians, and even vets. You might think it is a great idea to turn your home into an animal hospital, but you need to be qualified and licensed. Of course, if you've previously been a doctor, dentist, or whatever, then you shouldn't have too much trouble getting licensed to do the same thing from home.

This list just covers some of the most common businesses that need licensing. The best idea is to check your local laws and make sure your home business is properly licensed.


Take care, and we will see you next week!

subject line: Avoiding Home Business Scams

Hello again "autoresponder code here",

I sure hope everything is going great for you today!
I'd like to tell you little about:


How you can avoid home business scams.


If you're thinking of working from home you have to realize that at least 99% of the offers out there are scams. Now really if is so easy to pay a few dollars and make thousands, wouldn't everyone be doing it by now? Here are the biggest scams out there, how to recognize them, and how to avoid them.


First where did you see the "Big Money" work from home offer? If you received it in your email, saw a poster tacked to a bulletin board or one of those little signs on the side of the road then I can almost guarantee you that it’s not a legitimate offer. If you saw an ad in a newspaper, a job magazine or on a job website, then it’s more likely to be legitimate but not always. Remember always check out any offer, and assume it’s a scam until you have proof it's not.

Envelope Stuffing is one of the most established work from home scams. The way it works is once you pay your money and sign up to work from home, you are sent a set of envelopes and ads just like the one you responded to. Then you stuff your envelopes and pay to send them out. You could make some money if someone responds to your ad but the chances are slim. Don't waste your money on this one.

Home assemblers wanted. Charging for supplies is hard to pin down to any one scam it’s the way almost all work at home scams work. First you will be asked invest in the materials needed to do the work and then you will be sent very cheap materials that aren't worth anything like what you paid for them. Once the product is assembled you'll find that there’s no one who will buy it.

Quick tip: If anyone asks for money up front run away fast. A real company should be willing to deduct any ‘fees’ from your first paycheck. If they won't do that for you, then that’s because they don't ever plan to pay you.

A variation on the scam common with crafts is that you might be asked to work at home making clothes, ornaments or toys. Everything seems legitimate you've got the materials without paying out any money, and you're doing the work. Unfortunately for you, when you send the work back, the company will tell you that it didn't meet their ‘quality standards’, and will refuse to pay you. Never do craft work from home unless you're selling the items yourself.

Now let’s discuss home typing and medical billing scams. There are lots of work from home scams that will lead you to believe that they have more work than they can handle so they need people to work from home. What will happen? You will be told that you would be typing documents, or entering medical bills into a computer. These scams have one thing in common. They say all you need is your computer and then all you have to do is buy their special software to do the job.

This software might appear to be from a completely unrelated company, but don't be fooled. The whole reason the work from home ad was there to begin with was a sneaky way to sell you their software.

I hope this helps you see running a home business that involves you working for one company is a bad idea. You don't know whom you're dealing with. Remember even with entirely legal work at home offers that does pay you for your work, you still won't make near as much money as you can with your very own home business.

subject line: Choosing a Name


Hello "autoresponder code here"

How are you? We're doing well here.

Tell me have you gotten around to....

Choosing a Name for Your Business?

One of the most important things your business needs is a name. Your name will be the very first thing that almost all of your customers see.

You have to pick a name that says something about you and your business that people in your target market will remember easily.

A good basic idea is to use your last name followed by what you do. Like Walton's Feed and Supply or Anderson's Plumbing. You could also add the town where you live in to the name like Anderson's Little Rock Plumbing.

You can also leave out your name and simply become Little Rock Feed and Supply. This makes you sound like the first choice locally and will help target your local area.

If you are going to be dealing with the big companies you may want to consider a more corporate sounding name. Think of a word to describe your business then add the word "Consulting".

If you're going for a trendier market you might want a less formal name.
You may want to name your business after an animal, and use that animal in your logo too. If you don't have a big marketing budget, this is a good way to get started branding your business. For example take Geico. They use that gecko lizard on everything. What do you remember when you think of car insurance?

Try a short name. Take two or three words that describe your business then shorten them to make it one word. So you end up with IHOP (International House of Pancakes) this is a great way to express what you do without having long hard to remember name.


And when nothing else seems to fit make up a name. Just play with your words until you come up with a name that sounds right and the best part is it will be completely unique to your business.

Whatever you do make sure your business name is easy to pronounce, spell and remember

Once you have a few names picked out make sure you check to make sure no one else is using them. You don't want to get your business started then find out that the name you want is taken.


Well, hope that’s helpful to you, Talk to you later!

Director. The people ultimately in charge of a company are its directors. For a large company, there will be a board of directors, appointed by the shareholders. For a home business, though, you can appoint yourself as the sole director since you are also the sole shareholder (see 'shareholder').

Hello again "autoresponder code here",


I'm excited that you take time each week to let us into your life.
Please feel free to write in and share any of your tips and ideas on
how we can make this newsletter more informative and meaningful.
We'd love to hear from you!

I've been quite busy this week with running my home business!

I'm always on the Internet, "autoresponder code here" looking for informative articles! I found one that I think you'll really like.


Getting advice when you start a home business, it can be easy to get confused. Chances are you don't know anyone else that has started a home business so where do you go for help.

First go online. The Internet is a great resource for people who have a home business. You can find articles and newsletters with information and advice. There are also many message boards, forums and blogs where you can read, ask questions and get advice from other home business owners.

Go to your local library. Talk to the librarian. Libraries contain all sorts of home business books and resources. Your librarian should be more than happy to help you do research.

Find a mentor. They are usually volunteers who have had great business success and will be glad to help start up new businesses. They often have years of experience and can be really helpful.

The SBA. The Small Business Administration provides a multitude of material on starting your own business. Visit http://www.sba.gov

Depending on where you live, you might find local government agencies that will give you free help and advice. Check your listings for small business center in your area.

Your bank should have been the first place you went if you were thinking of starting a business. While they're no replacement for accountants, most banks will have a business advisor on staff to help you open a business account. They can be especially helpful with the technical and financial elements of starting your business.

Lawyers know all about starting a new business. It can be well worth paying for an hour of a lawyer’s time and just asking them every question you can think of. Look around you may even be able to get a free consultation.

Accountants also know all about business and can be less expensive alternative to lawyers. If you want your business to be profitable you should take the advice your accountant gives you and if you don't have one, you should get one.


Look for investors. There are people who back businesses for a living. If you think your business would be attractive to investors then you can try going to an investor with your idea. If they like it, they will often have a quick process set up to get your company up and running as soon as possible.

Visit your local universities. They are full of business students. They spend all their time learning about business, and many of them would just love to help get a real one off the ground. Business students can be a great source of free help and advice.

Remember whatever industry you're thinking of entering probably has some kind of trade association, society or union. You should join as soon as you can, and take advantage of all the resources that offer to people getting started in their industry.

There is an endless supply of help and advice out there. Just don't be afraid to ask!

subject line: Writing a Business Plan

Hi "autoresponder code here",

It’s "your first name here", back again with your weekly home business newsletter!

Let's talk about:

Writing a Business Plan. You're ready to get your home business started in every way except one. You need money. Either in the form of a loan or from investors, but where do you start? One thing you will need before you can get capital for your business is a business plan.

What’s a Business Plan? A business plan is simply a list of answers to questions that people might have about your home business. You will not get outside funding without one, because the people giving you the funding want to know that you have thought your venture through completely. A business plan says: I've considered this from every angle, and I am ready to get going.

Your business plan should include: a description of your service. Just what is it that you plan to do? Tell them which industry you're going to be in, and why you've chosen it.

Who are your customers? Once you know what your business will do, the next thing you need to know is whom you are going to be doing it for.

What makes your business different? You need to explain what makes your business different from other businesses in your market. How do you plan to do to make the business succeed?

List your expenses. Include start up expenses and any equipment that you need before you can get up and running. Also include your daily expenses such as staff costs and supplies.

This has been a brief overview if you need more help with your business plan do a quick search on the Internet. There are plenty of real life examples available.


Take care, and we'll see you next week!

Why You Want to Start a Home Business?

Working from home is a big dream for many. But fear holds us back. Below I have listed a few reasons why starting a home business is a great idea.

Your Great Idea Comes to Life. You have a great business idea. This is the number one reason that most people go into business from home. Remember the kind of ideas that are good for a home business are ones that can become real quickly, and start bringing in an income almost immediately.

You can do What You Love. Most people have something that they really love to do. Getting paid for doing what you love is a dream come true.

You get to be the boss. No more working your fingers to the bone for someone else. You will be the boss and you will reap the rewards.

You want more time with your Family. No more missing out on weekends, family occasions or Holidays. You will be home for every special moment.

No More Wasting Time and Money Commuting. With the high price of gas and the average commute to work being thirty miles one way just think of the time and money you will save when you work from home!

These reasons alone are good enough to say I am ready to start my own home business.

In an up coming issue we will discuss how to write your business plan.
