Many people have considered the incredible possibility of
being able to open a home based business for themselves.
  It is great to work for yourself, and work the hours you
  want. However, moving from this hope to a functional
                home business is another story.
While at work, set ground rules to make sure family
  members and friends do not interrupt you. If friends or
   family members constantly pop in and interrupt your
work, it is important to let them know that you are busy. If
you have an unexpected visitor while you are working, ask
them to sit in a different room and watch a little tv or read
    a magazine, while you finish up what you are doing.
Give your home business website the ability to sell. Taking
  order by mail or over the phone is simply not enough.
  Many websites are free to sign up for or come at a low
                           cost.
Online communities that cater to home business owners
 are springing up left and right. Look around the Internet
   for forums or message boards where people in your
business swap strategies. You never know where your next
dose of good advice will come from, and even discussions
 involving other types of businesses could benefit you in
                      surprising ways.
Understand all of the needs of your business before
   setting it up. Look at the opportunity from every
perspective both positive and negative so that you can
               make an informed choice.
To make your business more visible, use the proven,
successful methods of search engine optimization. Search
 engine optimization, also known as SEO, is a solid online
 marketing method that can help home business owners
   reach more people. You can optimize your Web site
        yourself or with the help of professionals.
You can earn a tax break if you entertain clients. A dinner
 with clients is partially deductible from your taxes. Save
any receipts that pertain to business entertainment. If the
 IRS audits you, you will need them to prove the expense
                       was legitimate.
Discuss the possibility of advertising your business on the
   sites of other owners of home businesses, and do the
same for them. This will give both of you more traffic, and
 provide search engine ranking benefits. When customers
click on your links, they should be clear on where they are
 going and what your products and services are; you can
 help with this process by using clear, specific advertising.
As you can see, it will require a little bit of work and
 dedication to make the jump. If you can manage to pull
    through and stick to the plan, you will be able to
accurately represent your dream in the company's image
 and create something that is long-lasting and profitable
                      over the years.
