Keeping Your Email Box Organized & Ready for Business

Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy

http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-14581

Learning how to get the most organization from your email
software is very likely the most important skill you can learn
to conduct a successful online home business.

There are three primary email applications on the market that
folks use to manage their incoming POP3 email. Those three are:

· Microsoft Outlook Express
· Eudora
· Netscape Mail

In order to get the most from your email software, there are
three key processes that you should learn. These processes are
concerned with data organization, saving time and email database
management.

SET UP EMAIL FOLDERS

Organization is key to any emails that you intend to save.
Having 2000 emails in one folder is a sure-fire road map to
confusion and lost communications and information.

You are the best judge as to how to organize your email into
topics that provide an easy method of retrieval of the
information when you need it most.

Fortunately, the primary email browsers make it easy to organize
your information. By allowing you to create folders within your
email software, you can file specific emails into folders
dedicated to the topic of the email.

To create new folders:

OUTLOOK EXPRESS: 1. Click File - Folders - New ---
alternatively, you may also right click an item in the Folder
window --- and then type in the name of your new folder.
Highlight the folder above where you would like your new folder
to be placed, and then click OK.

EUDORA: Click on Mailbox - New --- or right click on Eudora in
the folders window and then click on New. When the window opens,
type in the name of your new mailbox and click OK. If you want
to create a folder to place other mailboxes into, click the
checkbox before clicking OK.

NETSCAPE MAIL: Click File - New Folder. Then from the drop-down
menu, select the folder that you wish to be the folder directly
above your new folder, before clicking OK.

FILTERING EMAIL

Email filters are a tool to help you save time and frustration.
Have you ever lost an incoming email under the deluge of email
coming into your mailbox? With filters, you can direct the
important email or not-so-important email into certain
pre-ordained folders.

As part of the war against spam, most ISP's use filters every
day in an attempt to keep the spam out of your mailbox. In fact,
I even use filters to sort my incoming mail trying to catch the
spam my ISP missed.

Don’t be fooled into thinking you need some special software to
filter your email. Setting up filters is actually quite easy.

To setup email filters:

OUTLOOK EXPRESS: Click on Tools - Message Rules - Mail. A
wizard will open to help you create your new email filters. Just
follow the instructions provided to direct mail based on certain
criteria into certain folders.

EUDORA: Click on Special - Make Filter. Once again, just follow
the instructions in the Filter wizard.

NETSCAPE MAIL: Click on Edit - Mail Filters. Then click on New
in the wizard. Once you click on New, you will be taken to a new
wizard window. Follow the instructions here, then when you are
done, click on OK. This will return you to the first window
where you will set up the sorting order of your filter.

CLEANING AND COMPRESSING YOUR MAIL DATA

This is an important part of your email management. When you no
longer need an email, it should be deleted. When you first
delete an email, your software will send the email to the Trash
Bin. Your email is not actually deleted until you first empty
your trash bin.

Emptying your trash bin compresses the mailboxes from where the
email was originally filed. This is absolutely paramount to the
protection of your email data. If you go too long between
compressing your email data, then your email data could become
corrupted and you might need assistance in recovering your email
data.

Even after you have emptied your trash, Compressing Folders is a
recommended step to prevent other data corruption. Once you
understand that an email does not actually move from one folder
to another until the folder is compressed, then you can better
appreciate this advice.

As an example, when Email A comes into your main Inbox, the data
connected to Email A appears in two files. One file contains the
header and body of the email. The other file contains only the
email header information.

When an email is moved from one folder to the other, only the
header information is actually moved. The body information will
not be deleted from the original folder until which time the
original folder is compressed.

This explains the purpose of emptying the trash AND compressing
folders. If the email was simply moved from the Inbox to another
folder, then emptying the trash is not enough. The original
placement of the email is not actually removed from the file
that contains the body information until the message has been
designated for compression.

To empty your trash:

OUTLOOK EXPRESS: Click on Edit - Empty 'Deleted Items' Folder.
To compress the remaining folders, click on Tools - Options,
then click on the tab for Maintenance. Then click the button
that says, "Clean Up Now". Once the compression is completed,
click OK.

EUDORA: Click Special - Empty Trash. To compress the remaining
items that need compression, then click on Special - Compact
Mailboxes.

NETSCAPE MAIL: Click on File - Empty Trash Folder. To compress
the mailboxes, click on File - Compress Folders.

I cannot stress enough how important it is that you utilize the
tools for emptying the trash and compressing the mail folders.
Protecting your email data on a regular basis is good practice
for avoiding disaster in your mailbox.

So many of us rely upon our email software to keep our online
business running smoothly. Once you master the tools provided in
your email software, your online business will run smoothly also.

Let me share one important lesson I l've learned about computer
software. One should never be afraid to try new things. Learning
how to get the most out of your software relies upon your
willingness to dig in and learn how to use it.

Once you learn how to use your software to its full potential,
then your life will be greatly simplified and your effectiveness
will be dramatically improved.

Children in the Home Business Environment

Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy

http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-14581

Operating a home business is seldom easy and interruptions come
in all shapes, sizes and forms.

Between the family, friends and neighbors who call or come by,
and the telemarketers who insist on ringing your number off the
hook, getting through the workday can be a real challenge.

When you introduce children into the home office environment,
your productivity and patience can be seriously tested.

For example, right now my three-year old daughter is pulling on
my shirt and begging me to read her a story. Clearly, Im in the
middle of something important here, but how can I say no to
those eyes? Ill be right back...

Ok, that wasnt so bad was it? Shes happy, Im happy (having
bonded with my daughter) and now Im back to continue my
conversation with you :-) Whats the lesson here? Flexibility
is a major key to balancing your home business priorities with
your familys needs.

I can tell you from first-hand experience that maintaining a
deep level of concentration on work in a home business for long
periods of time is next to impossible. Naptime does offer some
reprieve, but any break from the kids is usually short lived.

Even with older children, summertime introduces new challenges
with kids running in and out of the house all throughout the day.

I would like to share with you some of the tips I have
discovered to help manage your home office with children in your
midst. Since children of different ages pose different
challenges, I will present my tips in terms of age groups.

OLDER CHILDREN AND TEENS

We will look at older children first since they pose the least
challenge to our work productivity.

Children, who are old enough to understand the idea of schedules
and chores, are old enough to understand the needs of your home
business. Explain to your children that you do your work at home
so that you can be near them when they need you. But also be
sure they understand that you must do your work so that you will
have the money necessary to keep your house, feed the family and
to provide them with money for entertainment.

Once your children understand the necessity of your work, then
outline a work schedule and explain it to them. Do make sure
they understand that emergencies are definitely an acceptable
reason to interrupt your work. Then make sure they understand
that between hours x and y, you will be doing work --- and then
hold them to respecting your schedule.

INFANTS

Infants will never understand your needs for work. But
fortunately, babies do well under a schedule or routine. Instead
of expecting your child to work around your schedule, schedule
your work around the needs of your baby.

It is simple. Babies eat, sleep and poop. Sometimes they play.
Fortunately, babies sleep more than they do anything else.

Naptime offers the best advantage for getting your work done.
Get your baby into a routine of eat, sleep and play, and you
will experience unexpected levels of productivity.

TODDLERS

If you have a toddler running around the house while you are
operating your home business, then you may find that your hair
turning gray or disappearing altogether. But, gray hair is a
sign of character, right. ;-)

I am venturing to guess that the person who devised the door
lock for the inside of the house did so because he had toddlers
in his own home. Inside door locks should only be utilized when
you are making that important phone call and your toddler is
screaming for your attention. At all other times, your door
should remain unlocked with your door open.

Develop a routine with your children for meal times, naptimes,
and play times. Work these times into your work schedule and
adhere to them. If you fail to keep appointments with your
children, your children will have less respect for your work and
do more to prevent you from the completion of your work.

Don't be afraid to let your children sit in your lap while you
are working. It helps them to feel wanted and it helps them to
be a part of your daily life. There are times when it is okay
for them to be sitting in your lap while you work, and at other
times you need them out of your lap. Don't be afraid to tell
them to get down and go play or read a book so that you can
resume your work.

Permit your children to have their toys in your office. Often
they will sit contently and play while you work. Just knowing
you are near is enough to keep them happy.

Be prepared to take an hourly break to deal with your toddler.
Try to do potty breaks at your hourly break and to do drink
refills. This can help your child grow into a routine that will
work well with your home business. At each break, spend a few
minutes with your child giving hugs and kisses and talking with
your child about what he or she wants to talk about.

Toddlers don't always do well with the routine, so be prepared
to take a few minutes when needed to give the attention that
your child so desperately needs in the moment.

IN CONCLUSION

I hope these tips serve to help you in the challenge of
operating a successful home business.

My home business permits me to fulfill my financial obligations
*AND* see my children grow up. I would never contemplate trading
my home business for another kind of business. Even with the
added challenges of dealing with toddlers in my home office, the
upsides far outweigh the downsides.

Growing my own home business with children around has definitely
given me a new respect for all people who successfully run a
home business with kids in the work environment. I tip my hat to
you... You deserve it!

Advertising Your Home Business on a Budget

Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-14581

When you are starting out in a new home business and no one
knows who you are, one of the greatest challenges you will face
is how to drum up new business.

If there were not people in your community or marketplace that
you knew who needed your products or services, you probably
would not have started your business to begin with. But, once
you have talked to those who you personally knew who needed your
what you offer, then your next task is to find others who will
help keep your doors open.

Many people know that they must turn to advertising at some
point in the future, but they hope that day will be long down
the road. For some, this utopian concept will come to fruition.
But for the rest of us in the real world, we must come up with
creative solutions for meeting our home business advertising
needs while working within our budget.

Most people have a misconception about having to spend lots of
money in order to advertise their home business. When you start
out, you honestly will not have much money available for
advertising, and if you do, you should still spend it wisely.

Before you jump headfirst into the world of advertising, let me
share some of the lessons I have learned concerning this most
important topic.

LESSON #1

It does not have to cost an arm and a leg to advertise your home
business, unless you fail to plan and fail to test.

As much as is possible, you should always test your advertising.
If you jump in and start dumping tons of money in to advertising
without first testing your advertising, you might find yourself
broke and without sales at the end of the road. Most people who
commit this error write off their failure on the home business
they chose or the economy or any of a hundred other excuses.
But, if they are unwilling to take responsibility for their
mistake, they will never learn from their mistake. Don't let
this be you.

LESSON #2

All testing should be done in blocks. If you begin to advertise
simultaneously in newspapers, radio and television, how will you
know which advertising is bringing people to your cash register?
You won't. All you will know that something might be working,
but you will not know what is actually doing the trick.

Even if you tell people in your advertising to tell you how they
found you, my experience shows that fewer than 10% of the people
ever will tell you anything --- and those people who do may not
even get the facts straight! You cannot rely on your customers
to tell you what advertising is working for your home business.
You must put in the extra effort to know for yourself.

LESSON #3

Only when you have a proven and solid advertising portfolio
should you venture to drop big bucks in an advertising campaign.
Even then, you should be careful to keep further measurements to
determine how much the maximum advantage of an ad would be.
Sometimes you might be able to reach ten times as many people,
but depending on the kind of media and other factors, the
additional exposure will only generate twice as many sales. Keep
your eye attuned to situations like this to get the most from
your advertising dollars.

LESSON #4

As Lesson #3 illustrates, sometimes your best advertising
investment may actually cost you less money. When you are first
starting out, whether you are running a home business or a
business outside of your home, you need to be able to get people
talking and thinking about your business.

If you are busy testing ads in media's such as the newspaper,
magazines, radio, and television, you need to learn ways of
promoting your business that do not require large cash
expenditures. A few examples are:

· Word of Mouth
· Business Cards
· Press Releases
· Non-Primetime Ads on Radio and Television

Here is more information about each type of low-cost advertising:

WORD OF MOUTH

This of course is the cheapest kind of advertising on the planet
--- it does not cost you anything. Ask your customers if they
know anyone who could also use your products or services. When
they are happy with your offerings and service, they will be
willing to tell you whom you can contact, and they will pass the
word for you.

BUSINESS CARDS

You can usually pick up 500 business cards for about $20. When
you do, hand them out. Do not give more than a couple of cards
to each person. If they need more cards from you, they will ask.

Some people are known to network with others on a regular basis.
Some of these people are also known to be always looking for an
extra few bucks. With these people, you can suggest to them that
if they write their name on the back of one of your business
cards and the card is presented to you, then you will pay a
referral fee to them. You do not have to offer much ---
sometimes one dollar is enough. Look at your home business and
your offerings and decide how much would be a good referral fee.

PRESS RELEASES

Press Releases are a good source for generating news about your
home business. The business editor at your local newspaper is
always on the lookout for a good business story to fill the
business news section of the newspaper.

Of course, the business editor understands the economics of
running a paper and is more inclined to run your story if you
buy advertising in his/her publication, but will still print
stories for special events and openings.

The important thing to remember about Press Releases is that it
must be constructed in the form of a news story. Even if you are
a sole proprietorship, quotes from you should be written in a
third person format: John Doe said, "Your quote here."

A Press Release should pack the most important information at
the beginning of the copy, and leave extra details towards the
end.

You should always provide the reporter who gets the task a
simple and easy way for him/her to contact you directly. Often
the reporter will want to contact you to get details that will
enhance their take on your story.

NON-PRIMETIME ADS ON RADIO AND TELEVISION

Believe it or not, some of the best rates for radio and
television are on the overnight and non-primetime venues. These
target times are not a total waste as they can easily keep the
infomercial people in business.

These off-hours are just less populated than the primetime hours.

Don't be afraid to check your local radio and television rates
for non-primetime hours to see what bargains may exist. With
television, primetime is 7pm to 10pm. With radio, primetime is
8am to 5pm. This sure leaves a whole lot of hours available to
advertise your home business at discount rates!

IN CONCLUSION

When it comes down to it, there is a lot to understand about
advertising, but when you have the basic knowledge down pat,
everything will fall into place and bring more dollars to your
bank account.

Your Home Business: Turning Pennies into Dollars


Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-14581

Henry Ford taught us that to simplify the manufacture of
automobiles, that the best way to do so was to install the
assembly line. That one change revolutionized the auto
manufacturing industry permitting the industry to build cars at
a cost whereas the average person could afford to buy one.

The lesson we should take from this is that having the ability
to improve the process of getting the job quicker and cheaper,
without compromising the quality of the job being done, will
help catapult the person who simplified the process to the top
of his/her field.

Pennies saved in your home business can turn into dollars at the
end of the day, and dollars can quickly multiply into hundreds
or thousands of dollars over time.

Doubt me if you will, but let me ask you a question. Do you
think a saving of two fifths of a penny could make any real
difference in the profit margin of a home business? Of course
the right answer is "it depends on how many transactions are
done in a year, utilizing the savings of the two fifths of one
penny."

You only have to think back a couple of decades to really
appreciate this question. Do you remember the nut that lived and
died in a Las Vegas hotel room? You know the one who was a
billionaire, and was so worried about germs that he died of
starvation? If you guessed Howard Hughes (1905-76), pat yourself
on the back.

Now Howard did not make all of his money on his two fifths of
one penny. He did however make a ton of money from his two
fifths of one penny. It seems Howard owned a can manufacturing
company. And one day, Howard's team figured out how they could
make one minor change in the design of their food can to reduce
the amount of tin necessary to make a single can.

As the story goes --- if my memory serves me correctly --- the
reduction in tin usage equaled a saving of two fifths of one
penny per can. Howard --- being the really smart businessman
that he was --- decided that he would not be so greedy as to
keep all of the savings for himself. What Mr. Hughes did do was
to keep half of the savings for himself, and give the other half
to his customers. The incredible thing about Mr. Hughes decision
is that by saving his customers an extra one fifths of one cent
per can, he managed to take more market share away from his
competition --- netting his company an additional and
substantial portion of the total market share in the canning
industry.

Let us return our thoughts to your home business. Have you ever
gotten the feeling of excitement --- when you read something or
thought of something --- that you could not wait to implement
this new idea? This could be one of those moments...

In every home business, there are certain processes that we do
over and again. Sometimes it may be possible to trim the time or
expense of a process which in turn will add pennies or dollars
to your bottom line. If it is a process that you do hundreds or
thousands of times per month, then your savings will multiply
into hundreds or thousands of dollars in monthly savings.

Imagine what running a home business was like BEFORE the
computer...

Before the personal computer, we had to hand type all letters
and invoices. Now, we can setup a letter or invoice that we send
out quite often, and we can save it in our word processor so
that when we need to use it again, we can print it quickly and
efficiently. There is no longer a need to type the document
again from scratch.

The computer has simplified our business communications and has
provided us the opportunity to reduce our costs of doing
business.

Think about all of the other processes that the computer has
enabled us to do for far less expense than what we could in the
past.

In this case, the computer is a tool that permits us to save
time and money.

So, my challenge to you is to begin examining the processes in
your own home business and look for ways in which you can save
yourself time and money. It is far better for you to contemplate
on this matter than it is for me to do so for you. Simply put,
you know your business better than anyone on the planet does.
Therefore, you are in a better position than anyone to find
those extra dollars that will decrease your costs and increase
your profits.

The extra pennies and dollars you could extract from your
business could spell the difference between success and failure
for your home business enterprise.

- Jim Rohn Success Plan - This is a 25 part weekly email training series which will teach you how to become successful with Success University and in life. You can also access these emails by clicking on Learning Center-> Jim Rohn Success Plan while you are logged into Success University.
- Compenation Plan - It also makes sense to familiarise yourself with Success University's powerful compensation plan. On the Success University site you'll find a PDF document explaining the different kinds of commission and an audio recording by Trisha Smith, one of Success University's top earners. I'd recommend listening to the audio call recording to get a good understanding of the compensation plan.
- Getting Started Checklist - There is a useful getting started checklist in the learning center. This also has a link to the recorded version of the Saturday fast start training call which you can listen to if you are unable to make the Saturday call.

(4) Add Success Univerisity to your website or blog - If you have your own website or blog you should update this with some information about Success University. This could be a link, a banner, a few paragraphs of information, an article or preferably a combination of these. You can get banners from the Resources->Marketing section of the Success University website. If you don't have a website my personal recommendation is the Plug-In Profit Site. Another free website to promote your Success University is PIF4P. If you'd like a free blog you can create on on Blogger. .

(5) Choose a Success University Page to advertise - There are various Success University pages that you can advertise. These include the http://pkumar4.successuniversity.com/page and the http://pkumar4.successuniversity.com/New_a_Slim.aspx?PgID=12&GrpID=4&Type=1& page (replace pkumar4 with your Success University ID). Alternatively you may want to construct your own splash page.

(6) Free Advertising - there are numerous methods of free marketing and the following are recommended, expecially if you have more time than money!
- Traffic Exchanges - advertise your Success University page in traffic exchanges. You can use the Launcher to increase your efficiency with traffic exchanges. Remember that short splash pages work better in traffic exchanges than long sales letter style pages.
- Article Marketing - This is the best form of free advertising that I know of. Write an article of around 500 words or so in length related to the topic of Success University. You could write about business opportunities and making money, or you could write about motivation or being successful. Just make sure it is a topic that is relevant to Success University. If you don't want to write an article yourself I recommend you get free articles from Article Builder and market them through Article Marketer. Once you have your article written add a resource box to the end containing a link to your Success University signup page. Publish this article in as many article directories as possible and you'll gain additional traffic and exposure for months, or even years to come.

- Forum Marketing - Many forums allow you to have a signature promoting your website or opportunity. Find some forums related to home business, internet marketing or even self improvement and make a commitment to post in these forums regularly. Just remember to ensure that you are contributing something useful and don't spam!

Success University is the key to your personality development, success and wealth Creation. Get started today!

How to Stay Focused on Your Home Business Goals


Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-14581

When you are the owner of a home business, you will find
hundreds of distractions that vie for your time, energy and
focus.

Common distractions include: children, family, friends,
neighbors, pets, phone calls, mail, household chores, video
games, television, neighborhood children, visitors, and so many
more.

As an owner of a home based business, you must always remember
your purpose in bringing your profession home. What was your
reason for wanting to own a home business? Was your goal to work
from home so that you can share in the lives of your children?
Was your goal to be out from under the rule of a tyrannical
boss? Was your goal to have the freedom to work when it is
convenient for you? Was your goal to make tons of money working
for yourself?

Here's a few good tips that will help you stay focused on your
home business:

TIP #1:
Whatever your reason for going out on your own, you must keep
your reason in the forefront of your mind. If you forget your
reason for starting your own home business, you will not be
working for yourself for long. It is far too easy to let
circumstance drive your activities --- and when circumstance is
in the driver's seat, you are more likely to crash and burn.

TIP #2:
Remember --- your own business is a lot like a real job. Some
people go to work to play, some go to socialize, and others ---
most often those who are paid in a commission or tip environment
--- go to work to work and to make money. When you work for
yourself, your salary is directly proportional to your
productivity. Therefore, wouldn't it make sense to stay focused
on getting as much done in as short of a period as possible?

Go to work to work and to make money. Leave playtime and
recreation for when your workday has ended.

TIP #3:
When you are dealing with family in the course of your workday,
it is important to schedule your activities as much as possible.
With small children, you must take time when you must, but you
should also work hard to make sure you dedicate a specific
number of hours to your workday.

With older children, it is much easier to tell them that you
will be working between the hours of x and y. Your children and
your friends must understand that certain hours of your day are
devoted to the activities of your business.

TIP #4:
Don't permit your friends and extended family to run over you.
Many people get the blind idea that if one works from home then
they are not actually working.

Well-meaning people may try to fill your doorway to bring advice
about getting a real job. Others may simply believe that if you
are at home, then you are fair game for chitchat and
socialization.

You must stand firm. You must make certain your friends and
family understands that when you are working, then you ARE
working! If they wish to socialize with you, then they need to
do it during the hours that are not dedicated to your home
business.

You are the only one who can stand up for you. Your friends and
family will seldom be able to appreciate your dedication to your
home business, unless you make the effort to make sure that they
have the same respect for your business that you do.

TIP #5:
You should allot a certain portion of your day to email and to
regular mail. For example, allot one hour in the morning and one
hour in the afternoon to handling your written communications.

Unless you dedicate certain times to the handling of these
communications, you will soon find yourself on the downward
slope of decreased productivity.

TIP #6:
When you find yourself spending too much time doing
non-productive activities, then you should seriously consider
finding a third-party service provider who will assist you in
those non-profitable business activities.

As an example, you might be in the mail-order business. You
might believe that your time is best spent writing ad copy and
setting up your advertising, but you find yourself spending far
too much time taking care of your books to take care of your
advertising in the manner that you should. In this event, it
might make more sense to hire a bookkeeper to handle your
financial records for you.

CONCLUSION:
In the end, the success of your home business is entirely and
completely reliant upon you and the decisions that you make.

You had your reasons for deciding to start your own home based
business. You must always keep your reasons in the forefront of
your mind. You must always be able to rely upon your own self
and your dedication to the success of your business.

Your friends and family might be annoyed that they cannot come
visit upon their own whim, but when success comes to you and
your business, they will better appreciate you for putting your
foot down when necessary.

Success is within your reach, if only you can stay focused on
your goals. You must decide to reach for your goals, and then,
you must have the discipline necessary to reach them.

Starting Your Home Based Business on a Shoestring Budget

Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy

http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-14581

Whether seeking a supplemental income or a full-time income,
many folks have undertaken the task to discover a viable home
based business solution to meet their personal needs.

For most folks who contemplate a home business, a low-cost or
no-cost solution is not only nice, but also very necessary. Many
also seek to find a home business that will permit them to
maintain their regular day job in order to protect their base
income.

Taking the cautious approach to a home based business and
keeping one's job during the start-up period is often a very
good decision. By maintaining one's job, one can maintain the
health of their personal finances while permitting their home
business grow healthy and strong.

Fortunately, most home based businesses can be started with
little or no cash, can be maintained on a shoestring budget, and
can be operated successfully with only a part-time investment.

One day, the business will be strong enough to support itself
and its owner. When that time comes, it will make good sense for
the business owner to leave his or her outside job to dedicate
more time to growing and maintaining their new thriving home
based business. You will know when that time has finally arrived.

The nature of a home based business makes it easy and very
realistic for most folks to take the plunge into home business
ownership.

Yet, many folks put off starting their own home based business,
because they have the misconception that they will have to risk
thousands of their own hard-earned dollars at start-up. Then
later, if their business fails, they fear they may be forced to
take out a second mortgage on their house just to stay out of
bankruptcy.

Are you one of these folks? Do you let your fears of failure
keep you from reaching for your dreams?

If so, then allow me to introduce you to a few home business
ideas that you can start for less than $100 and can be started
and operated very profitably as a part-time business.

THE LIFEBLOOD OF ALL SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES

First of all, let me advise you to search out a business model
that will deliver steady and repeat business. It is the one
thing --- above all others --- that will assure that your
company can survive the test of time.

HOME-BASED MAIL ORDER:
Home-based mail order is a good example of how one can quickly
grow a home business income. Mail order is a low cost start-up
business that can be launched for around $100 USD.

With proper planning, your home-based mail order business will
not require up-front inventory purchases. In the mail order
business, it is not uncommon to rely upon drop-shippers for
product fulfillment services.

By utilizing drop-shippers, we can sell the products, collect
the money and then purchase the products from the wholesale
outlet. The wholesale outlet will then put a return address for
your company on the product packaging and deliver the product
directly to your customer.

Your primary expense in the mail-order business is advertising.
Classified advertising tends to be a relatively inexpensive form
of advertising with thousands of outlets available to the small
business owner.

WHOLESALE BUSINESS:
Buy low --- sell high. You can acquire high quality,
top-of-the-line merchandise for a fraction of the retail cost.

AUCTIONS:
Auctions can be an excellent source for buying cheap and selling
high. Both government auctions and Internet auctions can lead to
some excellent profit opportunities. Auctions are an excellent
tool for both acquiring and selling merchandise.

MAKE AND SELL YOUR CRAFTS:
Crafts are a hot seller at country fairs, swap meets or anyplace
where people gather. Make your own crafts and sell them for a
tidy profit!

SELLING INFORMATION:
Selling information by mail is another good example of an
inexpensive home based business start-up. One can gain the
resale rights to information for usually about $50 USD. Other
costs will include printer cartridges, paper and postage. There
are plenty of free classifieds sites on the Internet, in which
to successfully advertise your information.

WRITE INFORMATIONAL BOOKLETS:
Write and publish your own informational booklets; sell them at
a high price! All you need is a little know-how, a printer,
paper and stamps. This is a GREAT home business idea! You can
also sell the resale rights to others, for extra profits. In
this age of the Internet, you may also take advantage of the
fact that selling information is one of the most profitable
endeavors one can pursue online.

OFFICE SERVICES:
Offer office services for hire in your local paper. You'll be
surprised at the amount of regular office business that can be
gleaned from one little classified ad. Word processing, typing,
accounting, data entry, proofreading, transcription, promotional
letters and newsletters. All these tasks can be accomplished
right from your own home office.

AVON REPRESENTATIVE:
Yes, Avon's been around for eternity, hasn't it? Then it's not
such a bad prospect as a home based business, is it? I once knew
a woman who did so much business as an Avon rep. that she had
people calling her and knocking at her door wanting to order
products at all hours of the day and night! Once you are an
established Avon representative, you, too, will turn a good
profit.

CONCLUSION:
On your search for the ideal home based business, try not to get
caught up in any scams that will run off with your money. There
are thousands of scam artists out there just waiting for the
next sucker to come along. Remember, if it sounds too good to be
true, then it probably is. Just use your good judgement and
invest wisely in proven methods of earning extra income.

Finding Your Home Business Niche


Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-14581

When some folks begin to think about a business of their own,
they know in that very moment what kind they are going to start.
Then, there are the rest of us...

Knowing that we want to have a business of our own is not
enough. Many of us have struggled with the important question of
what type of enterprise we would like to start.

Franchises offer a simple pre-packaged money making idea, but
the cost of a franchise often makes it a prohibitive option to
most folks who contemplate going out on their own.

For those who do not have a million dollars to buy a McDonalds
franchise, we must look to other ideas for our own business.

There are literally hundreds of lucrative home business ideas
for you to choose from, which will suit every type of
personality and all levels of financing. From selling
information on the Internet as a infopreneur, to growing
delicious gourmet mushrooms for sale to restaurants and catering
companies; there is a pile of money to be made by filling a
need, for these and a host of other necessary services.

Of course, actually liking what you do, will have a lot to do
with the success of your new venture, so be sure to pick a home
business that you'll enjoy running and that will keep you
motivated.

For example, if you're a math whiz, an accounting or income tax
service might be the ideal home business for you to start.
Perhaps writing is your forte and you'd like to start your own
home based copywriting service or advertising agency. Each of
these businesses can be run successfully--and profitably from
the comfort of your own home.

Academia might not be your cup of tea, but maybe you are good
with your hands --- having a creative genius where crafts are
concerned. Craft items are red-hot sellers at swap meets,
country fairs and world wide over the Internet, and they can
provide you with solid profits. If crafts don't interest you,
then why not start a laundry service with pick-up and delivery,
or a shopping service for shut-in's--even a companion service or
granny sitter or a doctor shuttle service; any of which, could
be much in demand, in and around your neighborhood or community.

When brainstorming new ideas for your future home business, keep
in mind the soul of any successful endeavor is providing a
product or service that others will actually purchase in
quantities. Satisfy the needs of your target market, and your
target market will keep you and your home based business
healthy, happy and profitable.

Below are some suggestions for home business ideas that might
help you decide on a suitable venture in which to invest.

Multi-level-marketing (mlm), floral/plant service for offices
and hospitals, pooper-scooper service, dog walking service,
answering service, vending machine service, gift basket service,
homemade soap maker, mobile windshield repair service, mobile
tire repair service, income tax specialist, researcher,
freelance writer, business card and letterhead designer,
courier, shut-in/shuttle service, landscaping service, tree
trimming service, wood crafter, carpenter, crafts and crafting
supplies, pool cleaning service, plants/nursery starts, growing
herbs, growing mushrooms, garage sale and swap meet vendor,
proofreader, private investigator, typing service, interior
decorator/designer, website design, wedding consultant, hot
lunch/snack vendor at local courthouses, pet sitting service,
pet grooming service, Internet entrepreneur, paralegal, gourmet
catering service, new media production, mobile cosmetic
technician, mobile nail technician, mobile hair stylist,
aerobics instructor, personal fitness trainer, advertising
consultant, companion service, small printing service.

Ideas, ideas; hopefully the above ideas will give you some fresh
ideas of your own to mull over. A spring board if you will, on
which to dive into your own chosen home business.

When you work from home, any business you start has the
potential to explode into a perpetual gold mine! It just depends
on how much your home business is in demand around your
community or on the Internet. Your home business might start
slow and steady, regularly picking up clients as you become more
established. On the other hand, your chosen home business may
take off like wildfire, quickly becoming too hot for you to
handle by yourself (well done!). This is the time to enlist the
help of willing family members to help you out in your time of
need, which will make your business into a friendly, family
concern. This will also help family members better understand
your business and get a grasp on the mechanics of profit.

Good luck in all your decisions and have fun with your home
business, which ever one you choose, and don't forget to enjoy
your newfound freedom!

Looking for a Real Internet Business? Read On!

By Chris Robertson

Tip! Submit your website to search engines and directories This is another cost effective way of driving traffic to your internet business. It is free if you can manually submit your website to search engines and directories.

Everyone dreams of working from home. Nowadays, with the booming popularity of the Internet and computers, it's become a little easier to realize that dream. Opportunities abound to make real money without leaving the shelter of your own house. What's more, many work-from-home jobs require a minimum of effort on your part. But the situation is definitely "Worker Beware." The truth is, many Internet businesses don't deliver what they promise. While they're not exactly scams, what they don't tell you is the multiple steps involved in actually making income. Often, the money has to travel through several levels of a pyramid before it reaches you- and if it gets there at all, it's certainly not the thousands that you were promised. At other times, you may be able to make a lot of money working from home-but the position requires lots of exhausting phone calls and self-promotion. You may have to sell a certain amount of product or information before you can even begin turning a profit. And in the meantime, you're investing money in something that you may not even complete. Many people get involved in work-from-home situations only to find they don't have the time to follow through, and they lose everything they've invested, making the whole situation a waste of time. Believe it or not, it IS possible to make money and stay at home. It's possible to do so without giving up your life and your free time. And it IS possible to have a computer business that really does produce an income. Internet marketing is an entire field that has grown up quickly over the past few years. With the onset of search engines, more and more businesses are going online, and fighting for the top spots in search returns. In order to achieve results, these businesses must focus on keywords that get them to the top of the list. That's the best way to get noticed by the average person searching online. What exactly is a keyword, you might ask? Every day, millions of people all over the world go to an Internet search engine and type in words or phrases that they want to find. Many of these people are online shoppers. If there's a website out there that sells daybeds, for example, that site want to be the first to pop up when someone searches for the word "daybed." Therefore, that website will make sure to plant the word "daybed" on their website as many times as possible. The Internet search engine will recognize their site as relevant to the search, and put it near the top of the list. And if the site is well designed and has a good selection, that searcher will click into it and maybe even make a purchase. The more clicks and purchases, the more effectively the keyword is working. And the higher rated that daybed site becomes. You might be wondering how this affects you and your dream of working at home. Well, what if you could have an Internet business that was based on the concept of keyword marketing? What if you could make money off of the searches performed by millions of online shoppers every day? Now, you can. And the process is simple. The entire business is automated and self-promoting, resulting in little work for you aside from checking your stats once a week. A few minutes of commitment on your part can lead to lifelong income... and we're talking real income, not a few pennies here and there. Think about it: The most money can be found in up-and-coming situations that show no signs of slowing down. The Internet and online retail are speeding up and promise to be around for several years to come. And online retail is run almost entirely by keywords. Basing your income off of keyword automated Internet marketing can result in big payoffs. And there's no risk and no loss involved for you. You won't be making phone calls or trying to get sales. The Internet will do all of that for you. The program itself will close the deals for you. And you'll be making easy money before you know it. What are you waiting for? Get started today... the world of home business income awaits!

Fast-Track Your Journey To Online Success

Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy

http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-14581

No one has ever logged onto the Internet for the first time and
started pocketing dollars in a really short period of time. As
with all things in life, there is a learning curve.

SOME PERSONAL HISTORY

Just a few short years ago, I was a working stiff just like you.

One day, I bought and read a book called "Multiple Streams of
Income" by bestselling author, Robert Allen. Immediately, I
began my journey.

Every night after work and after my wife and children went to
sleep, I would get online and explore different ways of using
the Internet to make money.

In the 2 years that followed, I spent over $10,000.00 racking up
credit card debt buying eBooks, membership sites, special
reports, opt-in leads, and joining every "guru" recommended
business opportunity that flew into my email inbox...

I stayed up learning, working and drinking coffee until 5:00 in
the morning month after month filled with the hope of making
money online.

In my 3rd year of working part-time to build an home based
income, I finally broke through and earned over $100,000.00 in
just 12 months from the Internet.

BECOME THE MASTER OF YOUR LEARNING CURVE

Research the lives of all of the "gurus". The one thing that you
will learn is that my own experience is not unique. Most of the
high earners on the Internet experienced a learning curve very
similar to my own.

Chances are that your curve will also be similar to mine, but it
is my hope that you can get to the top faster than even I did.
Three years was a long time to struggle, but every ounce of
struggle was worth the reward I have finally received.

In order to shorten your own learning curve, you must do a few
things differently than the rest of us did. You must become the
master of your learning curve.

THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS A STRAIGHT LINE

There is only one way to shorten the curve on the Internet:

You must plan to succeed!

Here is the deal. Most people put up a freebie website and
select a few affiliate programs to add to their website. Right
out of the gate, most people are running for the finish line
without any real plan in mind.

After a few short weeks, people begin to see the writing on the
wall that says, "This is going to be a long hard road."

People check their hit counters daily for six weeks before they
realize that getting traffic to their free site is going to be
tough.

At this point, they begin developing their first batch of
advertising. Then they spend countless months finding places to
show their advertisements for free. Some make an even more
drastic mistake by blowing thousands of hard earned dollars on
their new and untested ads.

These are the people who will learn the facts of life the hard
way.

In time, they will learn how to make their advertising work for
them. But most will earn very little money from their affiliate
programs.

At this point in the learning curve, most people throw up their
hands and walk away from their dreams in utter disgust. Instead
of a walking away point, this should have convinced the
struggling online entrepreneur that they were simply traveling
the wrong road.

YOU MUST PLAN TO SUCCEED

From day one, you must begin to learn about the nuances of web
promotion. Read everything you can get your hands on. Don't just
read the hype, back it up with the opinions of others who have
reviewed the same programs before you came along. Learn from
their mistakes and successes.

As you begin to learn, you must also look to make a decision. Do
you want to step into a pre-built program that is designed to
help you to succeed, OR do you want to create a completely new
program of which you are the sole owner?

If you decide to step into a pre-designed and complete turn-key
online money making venture, then you must select the right
venture to step into. If this is your decision, I encourage you to
examine the Plug In Profit Site at:

If you decide to go the journey on your own, then do all of the
necessary research, planning and preparation that is needed for
your success.

PREPARE TO SUCCEED

Decide what you think you would want to do, and then figure out
how your planned site will generate a real income.

Internet old-timers know about hundreds of corporation domains
that existed with IPO millions, but did not have an actual money
plan that could sustain their business model. Most of these
companies were among the hundreds of companies that bellied up
in the 2000 dot bomb experience.

Don't blindly believe in your plan. Research others on the web
who have undertaken similar business models and see if they have
survived. Study your competitors in depth to learn what is
working for them and what did not work for them. To better
understand what has or has not worked for competitor websites,
check out their time lapsed progressions using the Wayback

Once you have determined your money plan, then you should
undertake the development of a business plan and a marketing
plan. Utilize professional assistance if you need to do so.
While creating your plans, make a determination as to which
domain name you think would be best, then register it along with
a hosting account. You can do this at Host4Profit:

Once you have developed your business plan and marketing plan
and have run them through several revisions, then it will be
time to buy your domain name and to begin work with a site
designer and developer. You may need to have your domain sitting
on a web host for your site developer, but this is not always
necessary. While they are doing their work, enlist a copywriter
to help you with your site sales copy.

When your site designer and developer have your site working,
you should then undertake significant testing to make sure
everything works as planned. It is much harder to fix problems
on a operational site than it is to fix problems on a site that
is yet to be launched.

When testing is done, then you should fill in your sales copy
and then shoot for launch. Of course, you already have a
marketing plan in place, so your preparation here will be simply
a matter of putting the pieces of the puzzle into place.

You are finally ready to open for business. Don't be afraid to
spend the money to bring your dream alive. Time can replace
money in the goal of starting a profitable online business, but
money invested can shave years off of your company's growth.
