Sooner or later business owners will realize that the fast pace and competitive nature of the business today require them to have their own Internet site. If you are ready to go global with your home based business, Internet service provider speeds and limitations will need to be considered. In a world where dial up service used to the norm, new technologies have mushroomed. In many of the business sectors this is no longer a luxury but a necessity. However, there are pitfalls that you as a business owner should be aware of before setting up your site. Understanding the Internet, your needs and expectations, your Internet site and your Internet Service Provider are the four elements that together determine the success or failure of your site.
As a matter of fact, many an ISP now bundles a large number of attractive services specifically tailored to the needs of a web-based business - internet service provider advertisements are very specific on these offerings – and these cost very little more than residential services. Some ISP’s like host4profit.com has a paid Affiliate program. Sure, you might wonder what this has to do with success on the ‘Net. For a home based client a business Internet service provider used to be the dial up access. A modem was connected to a telephone line and the computer, and this meant that unless you had another independent telephone line, your connection would be busy. Telephone orders could not get through. The speed of the connection was slow, and downloads were dreaded because the time was measured in minutes, not seconds. Delays are experienced simply because connections are notorious to drop suddenly.
Fast-forward to today’s business Internet service provider; these days business is done at the speed of digital data transmissions, and downloads take place in fractions of seconds. Connections are always open, and customers and business owners can interact in real time. This means that your ISP can actively help you not only in gaining new business but also in doing business much more productively! Your business will gain a reputation for being approachable; you will receive the Internet rep of being eager to serve your customers and quick to respond to questions and concerns. In short, whom you choose as your Internet service provider will have a big influence on the success of your home-based business. Make sure you choose one that will aloud you to accept credit cards, and also has an affiliate program.

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
You’ve already figured out that your small business needs a web site to compete with the big boys and maintain every aspect of your relationship with your customers. But once you have your web site up and running, you’ll need web site promotion ideas so that people know about your web site. After all, no one will visit your web site if they don’t know it exists.
The first of your web site promotion ideas is submitting your web site to all the major search engines. Search engine traffic is a major draw to web sites and most web masters will tell you that the vast majority of their traffic is coming from search engine clicks. Most of the major search engines have a specific page you can use to submit your site. Once it’s submitted, it will usually take a few days to a week before it starts showing up in keyword searches.
Other web site promotion ideas include advertising your web site on Internet message boards and discussion forums centered on subjects related in some way to your business. For example, if you run a small business selling pet supplies, you could go to message boards and discussion forums frequented by pet lovers.
Other tried and true web site promotion ideas include affiliate and banner exchanges. You can contact other web sites involved with the same target market and ask to exchange banners on each other’s web sites, or you can sign up at a banner exchange portal that will automatically generate banners for other sites on your site and banners for your site on other participating sites.
For even more web site promotion ideas, there are many online resources dedicated solely to teaching people how best to create awareness of their web site through the Internet at large and strategies for attracting more visitors to their web site. Start with these basic ideas and when you’re ready, explore for more!

Finding a free home-based Internet business opportunity is not as easy as it sounds. Sure, you might think you could just go ahead and Google the term, and out of the wealth of information displayed on your screen you will be able to pick the one that is most likely to spell success for you, right? Wrong! Sadly, there are many scam artists on the ‘Net who are just waiting for someone to come by and subscribe to their get-rich-quick scheme. For this reason, get-rich-quick-schemes are now almost synonymous with free home based Internet business opportunities. One thing you must remember; nothing comes for free. Even on the Netmarketer.org site you will get a free website built for you but you have to signup for one of our program.
How often have you searched for avenues to supplement your income with a free home based internet business that would provide a little something extra every month – perhaps to save up for a wonderful family vacation, or maybe even to take the place of a part time job that is taking you away from your children during the day now – only to find the kinds of websites that talk about these wonderful opportunities without actually mentioning what the product or service is? The goal very often is to get your email address, which will then result in a SPAM filled inbox. Other times the goal is to get you to a personal phone representation where suddenly the free opportunity turns out to not be so free anymore.
To not be taken in by a scam artist but to find a genuine free home based Internet business opportunity, it is important that you know how much money you need to make – bottom line – and how much time you are able to devote to the business. Knowing this will permit you to find different avenues of success. Perhaps your free home-based Internet business could be that of an affiliate, a sales rep, a freelance writer, a survey taker, or a host of other occupations.
There are many websites, forums and chat rooms which detail this type of business and provide an avenue in which home business owners can chat with one another and perhaps pick up good tips as well. Home business success stories are also readily available on websites relating to this topic and one is sure to find a number of stories to bide their time with. Lastly, home business success stories can be gained from friends and family members as well. Since home businesses are so popular, one may know someone close to them who runs a home business and they can listen to the success stories told by these individuals.

Your Home Business is Your Job
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
One of the hardest things about having a home business is convincing others that you have a job. You might know some of what I’m talking about, you know; you get that phone call wanting you to go shopping or play a round of golf in the middle of the day. Or you have the neighbor or friend that drop in for that two to three hour chat. How do you convince them you have work to do without hurting their feeling? Or do you continue with what you are doing and hurt your business in the long run?
Most people who work at home are confronted with this problem. Myself included, Friends and family members would ask me to do things just because they knew I’m home during the day. The first thing I would hear is; it’s not like you have a job. So what is the solution? The first thing you should do is explained to your friends, family, and relatives that even though you’re at home every day, you really do have a job. As a matter of fact, it’s the best job I’ve ever had because it’s my own business. I’m having more fun working, and I’m actually going to have more money, and I’ll be helping more people in the process.
You can use this response as a little advertising for your business. But even if it doesn’t happen, it will help you establish that, yes, you do have a job. In fact it’s more then just a job, it’s your business. And believe me the word will spread that you are working, and the requests should start to reduce. Now, this doesn’t mean you can’t take the time to help someone doing an emergency. Remember, you still can have concern and still care for your friends and relatives, but you just have to establish some ground rules.
One of the first things you have to recognize is that many habits are difficult to break. A neighbor who periodically drops in unannounced will have to be discouraged in a pleasant but friendly way. Make sure you explain to them you have setup a work schedule and you will give them a call once your workload has eased. Of course, you need to understand that you can’t work all the time. Most marketers think they have to spend all of their time in front of the computer. But in reality, you really do have to set aside some time for your family and friends.

Finding The Right Business For You
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
There has been an exponential rise in the number of available MLM opportunities – but that doesn’t necessarily mean that there has been a corresponding rise in the number of people who’ve made money from such ventures. Choosing the right company to work with is very important if you want to succeed in any types of endeavors. The MLM industry is notorious for its scams – thousands of people have lost millions of dollars in fraudulent ventures. In other words, if you are not careful, you are liable to lose your money in this business field. Work at home schemes represent a substantial loss of money for U.S. residents.
This is not to say, of course, that all home business MLM opportunities are automatically be classified as frauds. There are people who run legitimate and profitable MLM businesses, not simply the kind that collapses on itself after a period of time. You can fine some of these businesses on The NetMarketer Site. The problem for the casual observer, of course, is separating the rare flower from the abundant thorns. In other words, how can one spot a legitimate MLM opportunity?
The cardinal rule about finding the right home business MLM opportunities is this: If it is too good to be true, it probably is. MLM marketers are taught to exaggerate the potential of their programs, and make it look as if the wealth that you can generate will be effortless. But the truth of the matter is, MLM marketing is hard work, and all of the other stuff should be seen as a sales pitch – they want you to buy into their program, which will result in them earning a commission. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a free lunch. This rule applies to everything in life; why should it be any different in a business endeavor? Even if it is “residual income,” you obviously will have to do something to deserve it. One of the key things you will have to do is advertise which most MLM marketer won’t tell you.
Most of them try to make everything look easy. A good, honest program, will advise you of the difficulties of the endeavor without appearing negative or optimistic. Keep your rationality intact as you evaluate each separate home business MLM opportunity. Don’t let fear stop you from trying out a venture, but don’t let your greed get the best of you either. Try to fine a business that offer you training that will help you get your business up and running. A good, honest MLM opportunity won’t give you undeserved rewards. If they did, they won’t be in business for very long. Compensation must be realistic and commensurate to achievements, just as in a real business undertaking.
The first question you should ask is, “where does the company get the money to pay all the people like me?” If this question is not easy to answer, alarm signals should start to go off inside your head. Above all, try to conduct business with people of only the highest character. System are very important when it comes to network marketing that you simply have to be very careful when it comes to selecting the company. Try to select one with a good support systems.
