How I Started My Home Based Business
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
