Opportunities for Home Business

Posts Tagged ‘home’

The most important element of being successful on line is you.  Forget me, forget how “easy” the guru’s tell you your system is, forget promoting affiliate pages anywhere -concentrate on you.

You need to identify what you are good at, package it in a professional way and promote it like crazy.

Because You are your business-not the latest high flying mythical forced power matrix from hell, not the regurgitated drivel of some self proclaimed guru, nor some magical disappearing High Yield Investment Program, but just plain old you.

Because you are real, you have expert knowledge in specific areas that others need.  It is this knowledgethat you can package and profit from

This blog will give you the knowledge and the opportunity to share that knowledge with others.

But first we need to call a spade a spade and cast off some really critical weights that could be holding you back.

The most critical thing that you must own on the net is your own domain and website.

If you don’t believe me ask yourself this basic question.  Who would you trust if they emailed you legitimately about a business opportunity that they were promoting

Frank@hisbusinessname.com orFrank@yahoo.com ?  It’s a no brainer- one email is coming from a business professional, while the other is coming from an amateur.

So here is your first rock solid actionable tip.  Purchase a domain name.  It won’t cost you a fortune, in fact it will cost next to nothing.

But before you do, do a little keyword research on your chosen subject using Google’s free word tool available at

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Keyword research is perhaps the most essential skill that you can master and you will find that you will use this tool often for many different tasks.

What you should be looking for is a highly searched term that  does not have a domain name registered.

This is easily checked by  going to Go Daddy and typing in the search terms, in the event that there is more than one word, search the domain name by separating it with hyphens, for example you could search easy domain name registration by going to GoDaddy and searching easy-domain-name-registration.com

When you find something that suits your business and is a highly searched term.  Register it immediately

As a word of caution I suggest that you avoid the .biz names -
they tend to be frowned upon by spam filters.

Once you’ve got a domain name, you are going to need a web-hosting service, offer that too, but frankly,I subscribe to the theory of getting the best available product and not settling for second best

For professional, reliable web-hosting service that also has remarkable reseller commission system, you cannot go past Kiosk .   Kiosk guarantee that their web-hosting service will be up 98% of the time and my personal experience suggests that they exceed that guarantee by a long way.  They offer a one month full featured trial for $1.

However, I realise that many people starting out need to learn the ropes before committing to a professional web hosting service, so, I have my own private web hosting service available to subscribers and readers – I don’t actively promote it, other than through my various business websites.

This service is called Break Free Webhosting

It offers a cheaper alternative whilst maintaining Kiosk’s reliability

Both Kiosk and BreakFree Webhosting  offer a series of templates to create yourown professional looking site. To assist you in the design of your own website I recommend that you use Trellian webpage creator free software that acts just like Microsoft FrontPage.  Additionally there is some great free software at Xheader Pro thatcan help you with designing banners and altering images.

But in truth, creating a blog with a word press theme takes a lot of the hassle of web design away.

James Grandstaff has put together an excellent video showing you how to install a blog on your website with one click.  Blogs make great home pages because they look professional and are very search engine friendly.  Before you do this , I’d like to mention that he uses Kiosk as I do and my Break Free webhosting site sublets web space from Kiosk -so everything you see James access at Kiosk is accessible through Break Free web Hosting – at a much cheaper price. Additionally, James elects to install the word press blog in a sub directory.  You don’t need to do that -you can actually leave the directory blank and the blog will install in yourmain directory and that’s where I suggest that you want it.

If there is one thing that you must do to be successful on line, it is to create your own web presence,whatever you do, you MUST have a website, either in traditional or blog form

Don’t delay.

If you’re serious about success you will do it today

To be successful in any walk of life, it is absolutely critical to ensure that you play to your strengths, recognise your weaknesses and neutralize them and search for the opportunities that best fit your relevant skills.

This is one of the key reasons why people seeking to start an on line business fail, they don’t do the basic analysis of what will work for them.

Day after day I see and hear people who tell me that online business opportunities are a scam, that they don’t work, that  they got ripped off and in the majority of cases they’re at least partially right, because most online business opportunities dress themselves up as gilt edged rock solid make money while you sleep money making machines and people fall for the hype.

Then they get sorely disappointed.

They always were going to be, because they didn’t do their homework on the scheme itself and more importantly on  themselves.  How can a meek mild factory worker used to being told what to do ever hope to succeed inMulti Level Marketing?  and yetthese people get sucked into money lines power lines, forced matrices, doublers, HYIP scams etc because it all looks so easy.

So let’s not beat around the bush.

There are legitimate Opportunities for Home Business for people who are prepared to recognise several things.

They need to plan

They need to research

They need to be prepared to spend some money intelligently

They need to budget.

They need to find the opportunity that best fits them.

 How do you do that?

The first thing you do is you recognise you for what you are and you do a critical skills audit on yourself.

What are you good at?

What do you know?

What do people come to you for advice about?

This is the basis right there for an on line business. 

You name a skill, hobby, passion or dare I say it, perversion and you can bet that other people are searching right now for information about that very subject.   There lies your opportunity.  Acting upon it is up to you, but here lies the start of your business plan – recognise your strengths and use them.

 Of course there are some skill sthat you need to learn, and develop.  HTML, SEO and PPC may all be foreign sounding words to you, but you need to familiarise yourself with them and gain a working knowledge of them, but don’t get too hung up on it initially.

Find your niche -once you have that and set yourg goal everything else is a detail.
