Most people would shy away when we start talking about home based business in affiliate marketing for the simple reason that they really don’t fully understand how it work and they don’t want to sell goods and services. If you take a closer look into affiliate marketing, you will find out that it does not necessarily mean peddling or offering goods and services to your friends or family members. In fact, affiliate marketing is really a system of income sharing and cost sharing.
How does a home-based business on network and affiliate marketing work? Network marketing work by recruiting members who will use the product it is selling. The system is multi-level where a person who becomes a member of the network can recruit a friend or a family member to register under his or her network. Every time the recruit purchases a product of the company, the recruiter gets a commission. The good thing about network marketing is that you do not only get a commission on your direct recruit but also on the purchases of your recruit’s recruit usually up to the fourth level. Some networking companies give commission up to the eight level of recruits which really a big advantage if you have a wide network.
Affiliate marketing is a great way for anybody to start a home-based business. The most common reason that people do not get started in affiliate marketing is because they are not aware of what it entails. The basic definition is that affiliate marketing is a method of promoting websites in a way that affiliates are rewarded for sending visitors or customers to other sites. As far as affiliate marketing is concerned, compensation varies depending on the type of program that you are involved with. In some cases you will get paid or have to pay for each visitor that you send or receive. In other cases, compensation is based purely on customers buying products or services.
Many people have benefited for network and affiliate marketing. People who set up home-based business in network and affiliate marketing have succeeded in earning huge income from their networks. The key to success in the networking business is helping each other build a wide member base. A member who helps his or her recruit in recruiting more people would benefit and most likely enjoy the benefits of earning commissions from their recruit’s recruit so it is really a good idea to help each other.
The many critics who would say that networking only makes the people on top of the network rich while those at the bottom will not get anything. Well, that is a matter of opinion. The system is really about pooling of resources by creating a network of consumers. If you build a network, not everybody could be on top at once but everyone will have a fair chance of making it to the top if one will work hard enough. A home-based business in network and affiliate marketing is created to function as a team business, meaning you help each other out. The idea really is to help each other add more people to the system so that you can reach your goal and in return help others do the same. In effect, as you help those people below you to reach another level of the network, you will also be helping yourself reach your goal.

Managing Your Home Business

The Problem of Time Management
If you already manage a home business, then you are also probably aware of how it can consume most of your time. Most likely, this happens against your will. After all, there are probably many things that you want to do with your time, such as spending time with your spouse and your children, going out with your friends, listening to music, reading some books, or what not. And yet, the task of managing your home business seems to take up all of your time. What can you possibly do?
What was described in the first paragraph is a classic example of a time management dilemma. Millions of people, not just home business owners, feel that they are not in complete control of their time. This tends to make people miserable, since most people want to feel in control of their lives. After all, what is your life but a measurement of your time? As long as you are unable to spend your time in a manner that you wish, you will never be truly happy, no matter how much money you earn or how many accolades you receive.
Managing Your Time Properly
Set your priorities. The cardinal rule of time management is this: Set your priorities. In life, there is probably nothing more important than setting your priorities, since they will set the stage for just how much time you will spend on each area of your life. You must clarify in your mind exactly what you want in life, and determine to spend more time on those things that you feel are most important.
In the immortal words of Goethe, “Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.” If your home business is the most important to you, then it is only right that you use most of your time on it. But if it isn’t, you should begin to scale back on the time you spend on it. You can either 1) get someone else to do the job for you; or 2) scale back on the amount of work you are already doing. Remember: You own your home business; it doesn’t own you.
When you work, work. Time management gurus tell us that most people don’t really work all the time that they work. This means that they may be putting in 8 hours at work, but they’re not really working for all of those 8 hours. They may spend an hour here chatting with officemates, another hour there for lunch, and another utterly distracted. This causes work to pile up and problems to surface at a later time.
To avoid this, work all the time you work. While you should definitely take creaks whenever you need them, make sure you are not kidding yourself and taking more than time than you need to. By focusing on the task at hand, you will get it done quicker and with less effort, freeing up more time for the other things you want to do.

The Perfect Home Based Business
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
Today, many people are taking advantage of the flexible work and turning to home base businesses, which means there are plenty of opportunities and options for those who want to start a home business. One of the first steps towards having success with a home based business is making sure you have a good home computer with internet access. However, after this it can be difficult to decide between the abundant opportunities available for those starting a home based business. It is often more a matter of finding a business that works for you since the entire home based businesses can bring you profits as long as you work at it. So how can you determine which home based business is best for you?
The first step you should take is identifying what you are specifically interested in doing. While a home based business can be fun, it can also be boring if you find yourself doing something you don’t like to do. You should then look at your interests and find which ones will match with the schedule you and your family has. If you have a family or young kids then you may not want a business that requires meeting with clients or one that requires you to work during the daytime. Make sure your management and time plan for a specific home based business will be able to work with your family schedule.
Consider whether or not you are willing to learn. There are many opportunities on the computer that you may be interested in doing, but without additional learning you may not be suited to the job. However, with today’s online learning it can be easy to take seminars online without having a conflict with your work schedule and family schedule. It may also be a good idea to follow this trend of online learning and start selling educational products since you will have a large market to work with and growth potential for your home based business.
You should also consider the company you are going to work for. Most of the companies that have home based jobs will want a payment of some kind. These payments can have a variety of variations and it is important to make sure the company is known for their honesty and integrity before going with them. Make sure you look into the company’s history and profile to make sure they are a good company to go with before starting your home based business. Consider looking for success stories and if possible talking with others who have already worked with the company in order to get adequate information about the company you are looking to work for.

Hiring People To Help With Your Home Business
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
When you are looking at having your own home business, you might be thinking about having people work for you. This can be something that you might want to do because having a home business is just like having a regular business; you can grow very quickly and be completely swamped with work before you know it. Therefore, having some help might not be a bad idea, in most cases.
If you are considering hiring people for your home business, there are some things that you should think about. First of all, remember that you are working out of your home. That means that if you are going to have an employee that comes into your home, your criteria might be different than if you were having an employee comes to your office building. If you are hiring people to work in your home along with you, you might want to take some things into consideration, such as if the person is going to be fine being with your children, or if you want that person in your home.
Another thing that you might want to think about when it comes to hiring people to help you in your home business would be if you want to have that person actually come to your home, or if you want them to work online with you. This can be a much easier way to hire people – you won’t need to find extra space to put employees, and as your business grows you can simply add more people online. This is the way that most people who work from home end up getting their employees, because it is the easiest.
No matter what, you want to realize that having a home business is just like having a regular business. If you are going to be hiring people, there are things that you should have. First of all, you need to have a clear set of responsibilities that each employee should take care of, and you want to be sure that you are posting these and that all of the employees have agreed to this.
You also want to make sure that you have a clear cut pay schedule as well as a pay rate, and that you are upfront about everything when it comes to how, when, and how much you are going to pay your employees. Remember that it might be tempting to be friendly and to act like friend with your home business employees, because you are at home, but you should always remember to be professional and to make sure that business gets taken care of in a professional way. You want to maintain the idea above all else you are a business and it has to be run like one.

Keys to Success in a Home Business
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
Like any business, a home business needs to be nurtured in order for it to be successful. You can't just sit back and hope that it is going to take care of itself, and that the single action of having a website and submitting it to search engines to allow potential customers to find it is going to do the trick. No matter what you may have been told, there is no business that is going to make money for you without you having to do some work to make it happen.
Yes, they teach you about residual income in network marketing, but even that residual income in based upon hours, months, and possibly years of very hard work promoting, training, advertising, and learning in a continuous cycle until you have attained the level within the organization where you can sit back and let the business work for you. Rental property is another area where many people mistakenly believe they can sit back and let someone else do the work, but again, this is something that only happens after years of doing things yourself in order to reach the point where you can afford to pay someone to take care of everything for you.
How does all of that tie in to the keys of success for a home business? It means that you have to work hard in order to be successful. One of the mistakes that many people make with a home-based business is they fail to see it as a business and put it second in line after doing all of the other things they want to do. Even though you are not working in an office, you still have a business that needs your attention, so you have to devote time to doing just that.
That means if your best friend calls and wants you to go shopping, you have to make sure she understands that you still have a job, even though you are working at home. Does that mean you neglect family and friends? No, of course not, but you have to set aside certain hours to work on your business just as you would if you were going to work each day. That doesn't mean that you have to work 8-5 each day, but you do need to put in the amount of hours necessary in order to do the things that are required.
It's also important to set aside a certain amount of time to do nothing but network and business promotion. You can do this by email, website promotion, passing out business cards in your local area, making up fliers to send out, or any number of other ways. The important thing is that you must have an organized method of networking if your business is going to be successful. In summary, the key points are (1) Treat your business as if you were going to work each day; (2) Have an organized criteria for what you need to do daily; and (3) Build your business with the knowledge that you will always have to be involved in order to maintain success.

Home Business Taxing Tips
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
Here are some tips on making the most money by taking the right deductions on home business taxes.
An entrepreneur who doesn’t have the time, the interest, the energy or the mathematic savvy to keep up on changes in the taxes for home business should have an accountant or a professional tax prepare that can advise her or him throughout the year. Tax laws can and do change. Not realizing or understanding this can lose profit for the home business with payment over taxes needlessly. It can also result in audits and penalties which can be time consuming and costly.
Here’s a general list of what home business owners can generally deduct on taxes.
Auto or other vehicles expenses used in business are eligible for home business deductions on taxes at the mileage rate of 40.5 cents for every mile. The alternative is to claim the actual cost of insurance, car repair and maintenance and gas.
Business forms such as stationery, newsletters and business cards are deductible for a home business, as are expenses incurred in entertaining and feeding clients. Generally half of the cost is all that is deductible unless the clients are served in the business owner’s home. Business travel is a legitimate deduction for home business taxes. Any training or education expense that furthers a business owner’s training in his or her chosen industry or prepares them for a new business industry is deductible as is Internet access and expenses related such as computer hardware and software and Web site hosting and design.
Other legitimate deductions of taxes for home business include the interest paid on student loans or business credit cards, the cost of office supplies and furnishings, telephone and other communication devices used in the home office, postage and delivery, business periodicals, the services of consultants, and other business professionals and vendors, rent or lease paid on the home business space and the cost of utilities associated with running the home business.
Tax for a Sole Proprietorship business.
Sole Proprietorship report their business income and expenses on their personal tax return. A separate form called schedule C – Profit or Loss from business is used to report the income and expense of the business. The form is attached to the owner’s form 1040.

Here are some tips on making the most money by taking the right deductions on home business taxes.
An entrepreneur who doesn’t have the time, the interest, the energy or the mathematic savvy to keep up on changes in the taxes for home business should have an accountant or a professional tax prepare that can advise her or him throughout the year. Tax laws can and do change. Not realizing or understanding this can lose profit for the home business with payment over taxes needlessly. It can also result in audits and penalties which can be time consuming and costly.
Here’s a general list of what home business owners can generally deduct on taxes.
Auto or other vehicles expenses used in business are eligible for home business deductions on taxes at the mileage rate of 40.5 cents for every mile. The alternative is to claim the actual cost of insurance, car repair and maintenance and gas.
Business forms such as stationery, newsletters and business cards are deductible for a home business, as are expenses incurred in entertaining and feeding clients. Generally half of the cost is all that is deductible unless the clients are served in the business owner’s home. Business travel is a legitimate deduction for home business taxes. Any training or education expense that furthers a business owner’s training in his or her chosen industry or prepares them for a new business industry is deductible as is Internet access and expenses related such as computer hardware and software and Web site hosting and design.
Other legitimate deductions of taxes for home business include the interest paid on student loans or business credit cards, the cost of office supplies and furnishings, telephone and other communication devices used in the home office, postage and delivery, business periodicals, the services of consultants, and other business professionals and vendors, rent or lease paid on the home business space and the cost of utilities associated with running the home business.
Tax for a Sole Proprietorship business.
Sole Proprietorship report their business income and expenses on their personal tax return. A separate form called schedule C – Profit or Loss from business is used to report the income and expense of the business. The form is attached to the owner’s form 1040. Any profit is taxed to the owner and any losses are deductible by the owner and may offset any other income and expense the owner might have. The following Federal tax forms are used for Sole Proprietorships. Form 1040: Individual income tax return, Schedule C, Profit or loss from business or schedule C-EZ, Schedule SE, Self-Employment Tax, Form 1040-ES, Estimated tax for individuals, form 4562, Depreciation and amortization and form 8829.

Extra Income Ideas
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
When trying to earn extra income ideas may seem a little far-fetched at first, but if you consider the ideas they may seem workable. It has always been said that necessity is the mother of invention and coming up with ideas to earn extra money seems easier when you really need to do so.
When looking to earn extra money you have to remember the idea is not to replace the money you are already earning. In other words, do not give up a regular job in order to earn money from another source. Money earned that way is not extra and you may have trouble staying caught up. Rather, any time and effort you put into earning extra money has to be above and beyond what is normally expended.
Although working out of the house, traveling to a job site, will also take time away from your family. You may want to consider a part time career in wholesaling in which you purchase merchandise at wholesale prices and resell it either at craft shows or online.You can purchase wholesale product online and have them drop ship directly to your customers which will save on shipping cost.
Visiting wholesale outlets you can occasionally find a really good price on quality merchandise that you can advertise and sell. Develop a retail website on which to sell this type of merchandise and then keep your eyes open for more bargains. With many of the online pass-through banking companies offering a free secure shopping cart, you can achieve the sales and collect money from your buyers quickly and safely.
Many even offer buy now buttons and are capable of printing shipping labels. With home pickup available from most shipping companies, you will not have the time and expense of taking your packages to the post office. Several companies are advertising how you can make a ton of money with online auctions and even offer to provide the product and handle all shipping and handling. All you need is an auction ID and the willingness to list their products on the auction.
Typically, you are also charged a monthly fee for the privilege of listing their merchandise. The difference between the sell price and your cost of the merchandise, minus the listing fees, is your profit. While this may be promising as well as profitable, if the items do not sell, as the one who listed the merchandise you are still responsible for the fees.
Joining with existing online companies to push their products is another method of earning extra money, and several offer a viable business model. Realize that in order for you to achieve sales, you will need to promote your individual website that offers the product for sale. To fine wholesale companies that can help you seek the perfect products at the lowest prices possible, for the greatest potential profits and have thousands of products at below wholesale prices, visit the Netmarketer.org website.

Extra Income Opportunity Working At Home
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
Working at home has a nice ring to it and many see being able to set their own hours as a dream come true. For those who have little or no self-discipline, that dream can quickly turn into a nightmare. There may be times when a deadline is approaching as well as your favorite sports team on television. Without the discipline to set your priorities to your work, your home business will fail.
When you make the commitment to work from home, you are telling your clients or customers that you are ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done within the promised time. When you continually fail to do that, you are telling them that you do not care about their needs and your time is more important to you than their project.
When you work from home, if there is no one around a majority of the day then there should be no distractions to keep you from getting your work done. When you first begin working at home, the first few days may be wasted as you get up in the mornings and think about not having to go anywhere. How nice it is that you can work whenever you feel like it. Soon, however, you may find yourself struggling to hit deadlines and having trouble finding new projects.
One tip about working from home is that while you can work in your pajamas, until you are settled into your routine of working at home, gets up in the morning and get dressed for work. Hit the office at a specified time and establish regular hours. Once acclimated to getting your work done on time, then you can play with your schedule and your dog during the day and finish your work in the evening.
Many clients will not care whether you are working on their project at seven in the morning or 10 at night. Their only concern is that the work is done to their specifications within the time that was promised. It is up to you to accomplish this.
Other than discipline, organization is a key ingredient in working from home so that little details, or big jobs, are not overlooked and forgotten. Other than not getting a project completed on time, the worst customer service you can offer is telling a client that you forgot to do their work. Telling them they are not important enough to remember will likely not bring you any additional business from them or their friends.
Once you are organized and disciplined, you can be prepared to work more hours than normal. At least until you have established yourself in your business and become acclimated to the amount of work you need to do. Another tip is to finish all the hard projects at the beginning so if you get behind, the easy ones can be done quickly.

Starting An Internet Business Without Bricks And Mortar
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
When you are starting an Internet business, there are certain notions that will require conscious thought. Things like how to market the business and where as well as who do you need to help get it off the ground. While starting an Internet business may seem like a daunting task, it is no different than starting a traditional business.
While traditional businesses require advertising, it is usually done with a shotgun approach. You shoot advertising all over the place and hope to hit something with your message. By default, your advertising for a traditional business will be focused on the geographic area in which your business is located. You must also adjust pricing to meet what your market will bear.
When starting an Internet business, your market can be less focused on location since your business will be global. You will also need to be more descriptive in your product presentation as people will not be able to touch and feel the items and will have to rely on what you say about them. You not only have to market them but also the how and why. Getting people to part with their money through an Internet business involves selling the business as well as an individual product or service.
Many old-style sales persons know that the biggest part of sales is selling your self. People who can make a potential buyer feel comfortable with them have a higher success rate. Those who simply sell the product can usually experience a certain success if they are selling a worthwhile product, but experiencing growth may be limited.
Once you have chosen the type of business you want to start and the people who will work with you, your marketing plan will need to be executed. Once you have made your announcement and made the promise of what you will do, you need to do what you have promised. Customer service needs to be more than a promise; it needs to be a way of life. Unlike a traditional business, on the Internet you will never be the only game in town. If you make mistakes with customer service there will be hundreds, if not thousands of other businesses ready to take your place.
Many traditional businesses eventually fail because they are not willing to change with the shopping habits of their customers. The product mix may become stale or new competition may offer merchandise the old store does not have and since success has been around for years, many do not see the need to change.
With an internet business, changes are required almost daily and there is no real harm in looking at your competition to see what they are offering and some of the ideas may be worth mimicking. However, make sure any new ideas you implement are filled with your personal touch to keep your customers satisfied with you.

Home Business System
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
Are you good with computers and considering a home business where you can utilize your computer knowledge? You may be interested in starting a computer tech business from home offering support to the millions of Americans who own computers but often times become very frustrated with them.
If you are planning this type of business with your spouse and have children carefully, consider this venture before stepping into it. You will need to be able to manage your time and have an excellent ability to communicate to each other. You do not want your partnership to turn into a power struggle or both your marriage and business can become at risk of falling apart. Starting a home business takes investment both financially and emotionally so weigh your options carefully before jumping into the arena of home-based businesses.
It will be important to divide the responsibilities within the business. Look at the strengths that both of you have and divide them up that way. If both you and your spouse have great skills, when it comes to working with clients, one of you may prefer to do a different part of the business. Your business will succeed when you work together utilizing each other’s strengths as opposed to getting into a power struggle over who should work in which area of the business. Just as in a corporate environment, you have those who work in the forefront working with the customers and managing the day-to-day operations and another who work behind the scene generating the paperwork, payroll, and other office duties. Any large financial decisions should always be made together.
You do not want to be screaming at each other when differences arise so decide on a plan as to how you are going to handle disputes that arise and they do arise in all businesses. Again look at how businesses are run, have weekly meetings or even morning daily meetings to look at what you are going to accomplish that day. If you start your business but never, take time to communicate with each other as to what is happening your business will fail. Having weekly or daily meetings will lessen the chance of something happening that is unexpected and you will be more able to handle the little things that crop up.
If you have, children in the home consider hiring someone to come in and take care of the kids while you are working. It does not have to be all day but maybe for a few select hours when you know that you and your spouse need to concentrate without interruptions. Although one of the reasons you probably wanted to start a home business is so that you can be home with your children you will not be very effective if they are demanding your attention all day. Your children will have to adjust to the business being in your home the same way you and your spouse are adjusting.

Tips For Finding Work At Home
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
Now that you have made that decision to work from home, you might think that it is all smooth sailing and that there is nothing you are going to have to worry about as you make your way into the work at home job market. Not true! Working from home might be great once you get going, but in order to get to the point where it is going to be worth it, you are going to have to do some grunt work and do a lot of it, before it pays off. Working from home requires hard work and dedication.
The first thing that you need to do is make a clear decision about what exactly you are going to be. You need to have a clear idea about what market you are going to go after and you need to make a decision about how you are going to get that market and conquer it in the best way that you know how. Once you know what it is that you are going to do, you need to begin to be able to market yourself. Whether this means advertising your business or taking care of your portfolio, you need to make sure that people know what you can do and that you can do it well.
Don’t expect to be able to simply start in at a large paying work from home job on the first day. It might take you awhile to fully get a grasp on what the job market is and to begin to make some connections when it comes to your field. The most important thing that you can do is to make sure that you have a good example of what you can do and that you have it accessible online. Whether this means that you are going to develop a website or an online portfolio, you need to get that done right away so you can start to apply for jobs or to find customers. So, the most important thing about finding work at home is to make sure that you have a place where potential clients can look at what you can do and can hire you if they’d like, or sign-up for your product.
After you know what you want to do and have taken steps to begin that process, you need to start to apply for jobs. This might mean that you visit many different job boards each day and apply for as many of the jobs that you think you can do as possible. Or, it might mean that you visit job boards and other boards and recruit clients for your business. Whatever it is that you need to do, the important thing is to get your name out there and to get started. One of the key things to remember is, fine something you love to do. If you love doing it you will put the work and time into it to achieve your success. And the money will come.

Supporting Your Spouse Christian Business
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
Your beloved spouse comes home from another day at the grind and announces, “I’ve had enough! I’m going into business for myself.” Before you start hoarding food and stashing money in the mattress, stop and pray.
Remember that God is sovereign and that He will provide for you. This new venture may be exactly what God has planned for your life. Surrender your will to Christ and pray. He may give you a peace that calms your fears and alleviates your concerns. Anxiety is a natural reaction to change, but as Christians we are to fight back with God’s truth.
The changes that come about in your spouse may surprise you, especially if they are following a prompting from God to leave the traditional work force. Pray with your spouse and be honest about your feelings. Discuss your excitement over the possibilities that a new business can provide. Vent your frustrations and fears about the changes and instability that will come in days ahead. Keep the communication open, between you and your spouse, and you and God.
This does not mean putting on a smile no matter what happens and ignoring the realities around you. It does mean that you should live beyond your circumstances and trust God. Be supportive of your spouse through the ups and downs. Encourage each other, pray together, and talk with other couples that have started a home business together.
Do some research in your spouse’s chosen area of business? Learn the associated jargon. Be familiar with the product or service provided by the business. Make yourself available to help with menial tasks like errands and printing shipping labels. Talk up your spouse’s bravery and professionalism every chance you get. Announce the birth of your new business at church, to your friends and family, to anyone who will listen. Be your spouse’s biggest fan. You will need to be knowledgeable of the business so that you can take calls on busy days and answer questions on the street when approached by curious neighbors and passers by.
Go to the library and research small business management and marketing, condense the books into a divided binder full of notes on the topics you have researched. You can present it to your spouse as a “business warming” gift. This information should be easy to read and condensed down to useful facts. You can even sneak in personal notes of encouragement, scripture verses or inspirational quotes.
Going the extra mile to show interest in what is important to your spouse will help hold you together through the storms of life and will allow you to build a strong, Christ centered business that can be passed down for generations to come.

He may give you a peace that calms your fears and alleviates your concerns. Anxiety is a natural reaction to change, but as Christians we are to fight back with God’s truth.
The changes that come about in your spouse may surprise you, especially if they are following a prompting from God to leave the traditional work force. Pray with your spouse and be honest about your feelings. Discuss your excitement over the possibilities that a new business can provide. Vent your frustrations and fears about the changes and instability that will come in days ahead. Keep the communication open, between you and your spouse, and you and God.
This does not mean putting on a smile no matter what happens and ignoring the realities around you. It does mean that you should live beyond your circumstances and trust God. Be supportive of your spouse through the ups and downs. Encourage each other, pray together, and talk with other couples that have started a home business together.
Do some research in your spouse’s chosen area of business? Learn the associated jargon. Be familiar with the product or service provided by the business. Make yourself available to help with menial tasks like errands and printing shipping labels. Talk up your spouse’s bravery and professionalism every chance you get. Announce the birth of your new business at church, to your friends and family, to anyone who will listen. Be your spouse’s biggest fan. You will need to be knowledgeable of the business so that you can take calls on busy days and answer questions on the street when approached by curious neighbors and passers by.
Go to the library and research small business management and marketing, condense the books into a divided binder full of notes on the topics you have researched. You can present it to your spouse as a “business warming” gift. This information should be easy to read and condensed down to useful facts. You can even sneak in personal notes of encouragement, scripture verses or inspirational quotes.
Going the extra mile to show interest in what is important to your spouse will help hold you together through the storms of life and will allow you to build a strong, Christ centered business that can be passed down for generations to come.

The Joys of Working From Home
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
For some people transitioning their office job to their home is impossible. In the fast paced job market, it might seem like there is never enough time to do what you really want to do – be at home with your families and take care of what you need to take care of while you are there. Luckily, now there are many ways that you can work from home. There are many joys of being able to work from home, and make enough money to actually make it worth it.
First of all, if you have children, you are going to get to be there for them during the day when they are young, and after school when they are older. You will never get the chance to be there for your children again, because once they grow up, that’s it! So, you should take every opportunity to be near them and take care of them when they are young. Also, by working from home, you can make sure that you don’t have to pay for childcare. Most of the time, people end up spending the money that they make working directly on child care, and unless they love their jobs and need to do their jobs, it simply isn’t worth it for someone to work part time just enough to pay someone else to take care of their kids while they are working. Think about how nice it would be to be able to actually make money, and not need to spend any of it on childcare.
If you want to start your own business that you can run from home, you will need to do a lot of research. The best place to find information on a home-based business is online. The reason for this is that the majority of home-based businesses have something to do with the Internet. By researching this option online, you will be able to come up with the details and information that you need in order to get off to a successful start. Also, there is a certain freedom that comes along with working from home. By being at home and staying at home you are there to tackle things that come up and to keep a handle on the way that the house operates. You are there to be in charge. No more leaving in the dark and coming home after the sun has set for the day. No more trying to do all of the chores on the weekends. You can simply allow yourself to be at home and enjoy the life that you are living.
Remember that the best part of working at home is getting to do the things that you really enjoy and getting to do them in your own environment. Nothing can beat the fact that you are going to be able to stay at home with your family and with your house chores, and still be able to make just as much money as if you were working at a job for 40 hours a week. There are many ways that you can work from home, and getting to know what these ways are is just the beginning to a successful career

Setting Up An Online Store
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
It seems like online stores are all the rage lately. There are many places online where you can buy things and where you can make other types of purchases. There are sites that sell new items, sites that sell old items, and sites that sell a combination of the both. If you want to work at home, and you are thinking of setting up an online store in order to do so, there are several things that you might want to keep in mind as you embark on this adventure.
First of all, you should choose goods that you have an interest in. If you are a big book reader, for instance, maybe you should sell used books online. If you have another interest, try to figure out a way to work your interests into your online store. This is important because you are going to be able to take control over your online store and make sure that you are selling what you want to sell, and if it is something that you are interested in, chances are good that you are going to find yourself more involved.
After you have decided what your online store is going to be selling, you need to figure out where you should get your products. Are you going to buy them around your town, or are you yourself going to order them online? Wherever you are getting your products from, you have to make sure that you are able to get products cheap. The best place to fine cheap products online would be a wholesaler like Salehoo.com. You can fine a link in the RED HOT Products section on The NetMarketer site. They have a Wholesale Suppliers Database. You'll find all the top suppliers, from drop shippers to liquidators to wholesalers to manufacturers -- with easy to find information and useful categories to help you find what you need. Drop shippers will save you money on warehouse rental space.
The best way to make sure that you are going to make a profit is to try to buy items in bulk so that you have many of them. Often you’ll be able to buy items much more cheaply if you buy a lot of them at once, and shipping costs will be reduced, as well. Then, you can sell the items individually to buyers online and make a profit that way. Since a person is only buying one item, they will pay more for it than you paid for it when you bought it in bulk.
Now you are ready to set up your store. You need an online space with a name that you can easily have people remember, and then you need to begin the marketing. Try to do as much as possible so that your name and your address are in as many places as they can be. Once you have started to get some business, you can continue to sell items and get even more business. The key to being successful is having a product that people want and being able to market it in a way that is going to make you money in the end.

Staying Sane While Starting A Home Business
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
Starting a new business can be a harried experience. There are a myriad of decisions to be made, the budget needs stretched, and the new secretary quits before the end of the first week: the struggles are endless. When starting a business from your home, you can add a slew of unique challenges to the list. Being aware of the potential pitfalls, and preparing for them can provide a way of preserving your sanity.
Friends and family members frequently assume that if you are home, you are available. Nothing can set your work back hours, faster than an unplanned visit from your mother. Setting clear boundaries regarding your schedule and availability for phone calls and visits can prevent misunderstandings early on in the life of your business.
If you are choosing to keep your small children home with you while you work, that carefully planned schedule can quickly become fodder for your three year old. Getting up early is often the best way to increase your productivity while those little angels are still slumbering away.
Having a contingency plan for days when the workload requires more attention than usual is an excellent way to head off disasters before they happen. Find local babysitters who are willing to come to your home to help out when needed. Recruit friends and family to provide occasional entertainment for short periods of time to allow you to work without interruptions. Anything that helps you keep focused is a good investment in preserving your sanity.
Running a business from your home has a few perks, especially at tax time. Consulting with a tax expert or accountant early on will arm you with the knowledge necessary to save you time and money when filing your first year’s business taxes.
Finding service providers that are both competent and trustworthy is a lesson in perseverance. The business directories, Internet advertisements and even newspaper ads are clogged with scams and incapable providers. Seeking the advice of a seasoned home business veteran can be your salvation. Word of mouth will reveal strengths and problems with service providers.
If you find that you have chosen poorly and end up with a full sized, ten year old copier in your den instead of that sleek, all-in-one model with all the bells and whistles that you paid for, don’t despair. Don’t back down either. You can explain your dissatisfaction firmly and politely while explaining that the services were not acceptable. If after bringing the blunder to the business’ attention, you are still left feeling cold, you can report the offender to the Better Business Bureau: and call for legal advice.
Using good old common sense, a little street smarts and a lot of charm and honesty will help your achieve your business goals, while allowing you to keep your sanity and your home life intact.

Choosing A Good Internet Provider
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
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.

Website Promotion Ideals For Small Businesses
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!

A Free Home Based Internet Business
Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer
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.

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?
