Are you tired of the old school network marketing techniques? You know the 3 foot rule, hanging flyers, bugging your family and friends, and holding hotel meetings.
I know that when I first joined my first network marketing company, I was told to use these same techniques. I was told to make a list of 100 people that I knew and basically call every one of them to ask and see if they would be interested in making some extra money.
I was only faced with questions I wasn't able to answer, getting hung up on, and faced with nothing but rejection.
When I was officially shunned by everyone that I knew, all my upline told me to do was to go out and buy some opportunity leads.
This only led me to some more rejection and spending a bunch of money.
Now I was out of money, and had nothing to show for it.
Then just as I was going to give up, I found what I consider to be the "life saver" for my business.
This life saver I speak of was Mike Dillard's 7 Day Free Video Boot Camp.
In these 7 free videos Mike explained how I could attract an endless stream of prospects to me ready to join and actually get paid to prospect.
These videos have really changed the way I do my business, and I think they can help you too.
You can get free instant access to these free videos here...

Work From Home Business Planning
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo
Many people dream of starting and owning a work from home business. Unfortunately, for most, it remains nothing but a dream. Even for some who actually get to the open-for-business stage, the reality of being a business owner quickly becomes overwhelming. There just seems to be so much to do in order to have a successful work from home business plan.
From their first days as a scout, Boy Scouts are taught the importance of the 5 P’s: Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. That simple strategy also holds true for anyone thinking of starting a small business. Proper planning is key, not only to getting the business off to a good start, but also in keeping the business going beyond the first few months.
If you are considering starting a work from home business, there are several steps you can take to help ensure your success:
Self-evaluation is often overlooked, self-evaluation is critical to the success of any business. Are you a leader? A self-starter? Consider how much you know about your prospective business area, and how much you still need to learn. Think about whether you are willing to spend the amount of time necessary for operating the type of business you are thinking of, and whether you are willing to make sacrifices until the money starts rolling in, however long that may take.
Be sure that you complete market evaluation. Take the time to evaluate the market potential of your work from home business. If you are thinking of opening a screen-printing business, for example, check the local phone directory and the Internet for similar businesses. If you have several competitors, then simply hanging your sign is not going to be enough to ensure the success of your business. If you have a unique idea, consider the need for your product or services. If you specialize in gift baskets for women who love tulips, you will have fewer competitors than if you carry gifts for gardeners, but you will also have fewer customers. You need to have customers, as well as the potential for repeat business, if you’re going to be successful.
Financial evaluation is extremely important. Take a long, hard look at your finances. Do you have enough money to start a small business and keep it going for six months to a year? If not, make a list of friends or relatives who might consider loaning you money or going into business with you. Check with your bank and your local Small Business Administration to find out whether financial assistance will be available to you. If your work from home business is going to include physical products you have to evaluate whether shipping costs will be worth it.
Every business requires paperwork. A formal written business plan will be required by any potential lender. Different types of businesses require different types of licenses. Taxes must be filed and paid. Hiring employees carries another set of paperwork with regards to withholdings and worker’s compensation. Financial records are essential. If you do not have any bookkeeping skills, consider getting a bookkeeping program for your computer.
Owning and operating a work from home business is not always an easy job, but it does not have to be painful. Taking the time to plan properly before opening day will help you make your dreams a reality.

Running a Home Based Business: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo
These days, nearly every one is searching for a way to make a little extra cash. With gas prices soaring to new heights, thereby raising the cost of nearly everything we buy, it's no wonder why what used to be a decent pay check is no longer stretching far enough to cover the bills. Many of us are often finding there is too much month at the end of the paycheck. But what can be done? With growing frequency, society is beginning to turn toward working from home. Before you get wrapped up in the hype of owning a home based business, though, you should really hear the good, the bad, AND the ugly.
There are many 'good' parts about working from the comfort of your own home. The most commonly mention benefit is being able to stay home with the children. There is definitely something to be said about avoiding all the hassles, and increasing expense, of the children attending day care. Aside from the obvious(cost, time to drop them off and pick them up, and planning around the daycare's schedule), you'll also have less worry about your kids picking up illnesses, injuries, or other unsanitary issues. Another benefit of having a home based business would be less wasted time; you'll no longer spend an hour (or often more) every day doing nothing better than driving to and from your job.
One little-discussed con to having your own home based business is the increased frequency of distractions. All too easily, children, phone calls, or even the television playing in the background will draw you away from your actual work. It takes someone with a great deal of focus to successfully complete the work necessary, despite what is going on around them. On the other hand, there are some people who become so involved with their work, and their ever-growing to-do list, that work carries over well beyond regular working hours. Due to the lack of an office full of people that specialize in their own area, running a business out of your home can often demand a lot more from a person than a regular nine-to-five would. When you are the sole director of your own success, it can often be hard to force yourself to walk away for a while. While their is nothing wrong with becoming wholly engrossed in your work, obsessing over it can be harmful to your physical and emotional well being, as well as to your social relationships.
The ugly side of running a home based business is another area that is frequently ignored. While it is easy to get excited over the prospect of being your own boss, some people fail to realize exactly what kind of work will be required. Not only will you be responsible for the tasks involved for the work or service you provide, but you will also be responsible for many other aspects of the business, as well. This can include accounts receivable, accounts payable, marketing, and even human resources in some instances. Before launching a home business, it is important that one realize this, and give it some serious thought. It might be easy to say "oh sure, no problem", but will you honestly be able to handle all these administrative tasks on your own?
These are endless pros, cons, and food for thought beyond what has been discussed. The important part is that you are aware of the need for serious research. Opening your own home based business should never be a decision made lightly. If you're uneducated from ALL angles, you will be highly unlikely to succeed. Despite the seemingly endless "down sides", working for yourself can be a fun, exciting, lucrative choice. You just need to be aware of what you're getting yourself into, first!

Importance of Keywords and How It Relates to Your Online Business
By Oscar Salcedo Work from Home
There are a number of different tactics that people use in their online businesses, but there is one thing that ties all of these tactics together. Every single tactic used by a business today successfully is successful primarily because somewhere in that tactic there are keywords that make the tactic work. Keywords determine almost everything imaginable on the internet, that is exactly why Keywords are King in the land of online internet marketing, and home based business online.
Importance
The importance of keywords has to do with search engines. How many times have you been interested in learning about a specific something and then searching online for that specific something in a search engine like Google, Yahoo or MSN? If you are like most people that have used the internet, the answer is quite often. While some people might exclusively search online encyclopedias and other products like that, at the same time most of the people will use search engines to look over the internet and this amounts to hundreds of millions of people conducting billions of searches each day.
The keywords that you use on your website are going to be the keywords that they put into the search engines if you do the keyword placement correctly and that ultimately means that keywords are directly linked to search engine success and this is exactly why they are so important in the grand scheme of things.
Plan of Attack
Having a plan of attack for your keywords when you set up your website is always a good idea. The best way to formulate that plan of attack is to first think of keywords directly related to the website that you are building. For example, a website on Slim-Fast would greatly benefit from keywords like "weight loss", "diet" and "diet drink". Once you have a list of obvious keywords, your goal is then to run those keywords through keyword tools and figure out what people have been searching for in relation to those words and compile a list of keywords in this way. Then, come up with synonyms and search for the synonyms. It is a good idea to have at least 100 keywords for a website before you formulate your plan of attack and going through this process will ensure that you probably end up with a lot more.
Search Engine Optimization
Part of your plan of attack has to revolve around getting those keywords into places on your website where they will attract the interest of the search engines and the process of doing this is known as search engine optimization. Search engine optimization essentially means getting important keywords into the titles and sub-titles of the website pages that you have and also making sure that keywords are sprinkled throughout the text in appropriate percentages. All of this is very difficult to master but easy to learn the basics of, so if you are putting together a website learning the basics of search engine optimization is a very good idea.

Ways to Generate Traffic Using Only Free Methods
by Oscar Salcedo Home-Biz Ideas
Putting up a company would of course require a lot of things, to get straight to the point, you need a capital. To make money requires money as well. But of course, with the versatility the internet offers, there are many ways you could find that could help optimize the potential of your site or home business in generating traffic.
While there are ways to jumpstart your traffic flows, many sites don’t have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don’t have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.
How sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent. Now it’s a sure thing that many sites have articles that offer tips and guidelines in how to generate traffic using only free methods. Because it is possible, you don’t need to spend a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I’m about to tell you.
Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer. Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.
With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company or home business. Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject, with that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.
You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic.
Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.
Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.
Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company or home business with the article and there’s a great probability that they will go to your site.
Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your own but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality.
Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine results without the costs.
All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

Search Engine Optimization - Why You Have To Use It
by Oscar Salcedo Home-Biz Ideas
E-commerce is a cut throat business. You have to arm yourself with the proper know-how and the tools to make your site a cut above the rest. Each day, more and more sites are clambering to optimize their rankings in websites and if you lose your guard, you may just get trampled on and be left in the abyss filled with so many failed e-commerce sites.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a term widely used today by many e-commerce sites. For the past few years and the next ten years or so, search engines would be the most widely used internet tool to find the sites that they need to go to or the product or information they need.
Most people that use search engines use only the ten top search results in the first page. Making it to the first page, more so to the top three is a barometer of a sites success in search engine optimization. You will get a higher ratio of probability in being clicked on when you rank high. The more traffic for your site, the more business you rake in.
But, it is essential to grab a hold of that spot or make your ranking even better. As I aforementioned, each day is a new day for all e-commerce sites to make them selves rank higher using search engine optimization. It is imperative to make your site better and better everyday.
So just what is search engine optimization and do you have to use it? The answer to why you have to use it is an easy one. You need search engine optimization to be number one, or maybe at least make your site income generating.
With search engine optimization you can get the benefit of generating a high traffic volume. Let’s just say you get only a turn out of successful sales with 10 to 20 percent of your traffic. If you get a hundred hits or more a day, you get a good turn out of sales already. If you get only twenty to ten hits a day, you only get one or two if not any at all.
So once again, what is search engine optimization? Search engine optimization is utilizing tools and methods in making your site top ranking in the results of search engines.

E-commerce is a cut throat business. You have to arm yourself with the proper know-how and the tools to make your site a cut above the rest. Each day, more and more sites are clambering to optimize their rankings in websites and if you lose your guard, you may just get trampled on and be left in the abyss filled with so many failed e-commerce sites.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a term widely used today by many e-commerce sites. For the past few years and the next ten years or so, search engines would be the most widely used internet tool to find the sites that they need to go to or the product or information they need.
Most people that use search engines use only the ten top search results in the first page. Making it to the first page, more so to the top three is a barometer of a sites success in search engine optimization. You will get a higher ratio of probability in being clicked on when you rank high. The more traffic for your site, the more business you rake in.
But, it is essential to grab a hold of that spot or make your ranking even better. As I aforementioned, each day is a new day for all e-commerce sites to make them selves rank higher using search engine optimization. It is imperative to make your site better and better everyday.
So just what is search engine optimization and do you have to use it? The answer to why you have to use it is an easy one. You need search engine optimization to be number one, or maybe at least make your site income generating.
With search engine optimization you can get the benefit of generating a high traffic volume. Let’s just say you get only a turn out of successful sales with 10 to 20 percent of your traffic. If you get a hundred hits or more a day, you get a good turn out of sales already. If you get only twenty to ten hits a day, you only get one or two if not any at all.
So once again, what is search engine optimization? Search engine optimization is utilizing tools and methods in making your site top ranking in the results of search engines. Getting yourself in the first page and better yet in the top half of the page will ensure that your site will generate public awareness of your site’s existence and subsequently generate more traffic, traffic that could lead to potential income and business.
Search engine optimization requires a lot of work to be fully realized. There are many aspects you have to change in your site or add as well to get search engine optimization.

The Keys to Internet Marketing that Works for Home Business
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo Home-Biz Ideas
Internet marketing is a large part of a successful online home business. Being able to advertise and draw in traffic is the core of success. Choosing the right marketing strategy is important. There are things a person can do when it comes to internet marketing that may work for some home businesses, but that does not work for theirs. Understanding how to market is incredibly important in an online home business.
Niche market is a term that a person will hear a lot in a home business. The idea of a niche market is that a product will not always sell to everyone. For example, baby diapers are not going to sell to children. The best people to market to for baby diapers would be moms because it has been shown they are the most likely to buy them. So, a niche market is basically, the group of people who is most likely to buy a product.
Figuring out the niche market for some products will be simple, but it can be challenging for other products. A person may have to do some research and look through their customer records to determine what their niche market is. However, the work is all worth it because once the niche market is identified, the target advertising can begin.
Internet marketing involves specific advertising to the niche market. The niche market will have certain places they frequent which make the perfect places to place advertising. They will also have a certain style that can be used to design the advertising. Knowing the niche market makes marketing so much easier and more effective.
Another aspect of marketing effectively is to understand competition. Competition is any home business that sells the same or similar products or services. This is important because there are also home businesses out there that are complementary businesses. These home businesses sell products or services that are not going to compete with your home business, but actually complement your business. They may sell a product that works with your product or they may sell to your niche market. It is a great idea to hook up with a complementing business when marketing.
The idea of a niche market and complementing business can really take marketing efforts to a whole new level. Marketing efforts can be streamlined. Costs for marketing will go down and the effectiveness will really skyrocket. It is a trick of marketing that many people do not understand, so understanding it can mean a lot of success for the home business owner.
For a home business owner to take advantage of these concepts they should start by identifying their niche market and complementing businesses. Then they can begin to contact the other businesses and develop marketing that works for their niche market.
This is a great insider tip on marketing that many home business owners never end up knowing. It is something that can really help a home business go from something small to something amazing. Every home business owner should understand these two key concepts in order to make their home business a success.

Is Your Home Business in a Slump try these Quick Tips and Ideas
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo
Home-Biz Tips
Every home business will run into a time where things seem to go into a slump. Business may start to level off and there is a need to pump it up and bring in new customers. That requires appealing to the customer and giving them a reason to start doing business.
It can sometimes seem difficult to see how a home business can be pumped up to bring in new customers. It may seem too hard or complicated, but there really are some ways to pump up a home business without it involving a lot of money or time. Something simple can sometimes bring new life back into a slow business.
Add a New Product
Many times customers have bought everything they want from a company or feel they just do not need what they are offering. Many companies use the tactic of introducing a new product to help their home business. A new product can be something simple or it can be an elaborate new line of products.
The whole idea of introducing a new product is to give the customer something new and different. It should not be, for example, an existing product just in a new color. That will not cut it. It should be something exciting and it is a good idea to make a big deal out of its introduction. That will draw attention and keep customers on alert.
Revamp the Look
Sometimes all it takes is redoing a website to bring in more business. This is true if the website has not been updated a lot to offer new options and a new appearance. Sometimes people just get tired of the same old thing when they are shopping and want to experience something different.
Changes to a websites look can be a lot of things. It can be different colors, a different set up, addition of a guest book or even a completely new website design. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that with huge changes the website will be down for maintenance however long it takes to get the change implemented.
Offer More
People want to shop where they can get a lot of things at one stop. This is very true because people do not have the time to go from store to store, even online. One way to really attract people is to offer them more. Give them more variety, more choices and more products.
Give them more for their money, too. Create bundled packages and give away freebies to loyal customers. Introduce specials like buy one and get one free. Shipping discounts are quite popular online and are a major attraction for shoppers. Give some thought as to what could be done to give customers more.
There are many things a person can do to pump up their home business and start bringing in more sales. The worst thing to do is give up or simply sit around and wait for things to get better. A person has to be proactive in their attempts to bring some life back to their home business.

Unique Home Business Ideas
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo
Home-biz Tips
Working from home covers a very large spectrum of home business ideas. When it comes right down to it you could turn just about anything into a legitimate business. This is especially true if you research your business niche and have a "never give up" attitude. Too many people believe that the above statement is not true. They might feel like they do not have a specialty to build a business upon that would earn them enough income to support themselves and their family. In today's business world the statement above is completely true and hopefully this article can show people from all walks of life that there is a home business with their name on it. This article is going to cover some of the more unique home business ideas out there.
There are many home businesses that use your home as the main place of business but will also get you out and into the world. If you are a person who is really into physical fitness by working out and eating right there may be a business hiding within that interest. Consider becoming a personal trainer. Although there is not any training required it would be a good idea for you to take a few health classes for the safety of your clients. You could be traveling to different homes helping people get in shape one session at a time. There are many home business ideas that allow you to interact with people outside the home on a daily basis. If you enjoy having parties for your family and friends think about becoming a party caterer/planner. This job would be similar to a wedding planner although you would be providing plans and food for parties such as retirement, birthdays, or even baby showers. A home business like this is a great way to add a personal touch to your everyday work.
If you would strictly like to work within your home you still have a lot of unique options. There are many home business ideas that follow this format. Are you always setting your friends up on blind dates? If that describes you then maybe you should open up your own home dating service! The suggestion may seem absurd at first but if you really think about it, it is ideal. Create an office in your home that has a very down to earth feel with couches and chairs. You can provide a service where people can come in and submit their application and you personally match them up with one of your other clients. Not only would this home business be unique and successful, it would also be a lot of fun! If the dating scene isn't your thing, maybe numbers are more your style? If you think you are particularly good at keeping your finances straight and often find you are giving others advice maybe you should become a financial advisor. This is one of the home business ideas that can be done strictly out of the home from within an office.
With today's economy the way it is you can't go wrong with starting your own business. If you are truly creative there is no telling where you could go with it! Always keep in mind though that you should always research your business focus before investing any money. Look at other businesses. Focus on why they thrive or why they failed and learn from their successes and their mistakes. With preparation you can avoid your mistakes before you even think about making them! Never be afraid to ask the advice of others! A smart businessperson knows every aspect of the work they do, even if it is from the comfort of their own home. Of course this article does not contain all of the unique home business ideas out there! Research and find out what suits you. With a little creativity you could take your business to the top!

Building a Home Internet Business
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo
Home-biz Tips
The internet has unarguably made things much easier; the benefits accruing from the internet has touched almost all facets of living. Building a home internet business is a hot topic as an increasing number of people are becoming aware of the limitless business possibilities accessible via the internet from the comfort of their homes. If done properly, a viable home based internet business could easily become a source of full or part time income. The Internet is now a large meeting place for people and business from all parts of the world. As any marketer or economist would be quick to point out, a forum or meeting place would naturally present countless business opportunities both to small and large-scale business organizations. Ever growing popular is the notion of the home based internet business to tap into such possibilities.
The thought of being your own boss and not rushing to meet the demands of secular work is certainly very appealing. However, many people have jumped into the field only to quickly fizzle out. Building a home internet business may not be as easy as many might make it to be, it requires patience, dedication and skill. To be successful one has to learn the basics, take time to understand the internet market and environment and acquire needed skills.
One can do many viable internet businesses successfully from home. Do not try to do all or too many at once. Pick a type of internet business, such as affiliate marketing, website designs, hosting, merchandising, web promotion or any of the freelance services etc. Do not rush into any business without first understanding all that is required. Building a home internet business is not a day's job, be patient and learn from your mistakes as well as the mistakes of others. The most valuable business tool is knowledge and the successful businessperson is the one possessing adequate knowledge and the right skills to apply the knowledge. So continue to gather knowledge and seek ways to be proactive.
After picking an internet business to deal in, you will need to select or create a niche. A niche is a relatively small segment out of the total market with people having similar peculiar needs. While this market or consumer segment might be smaller than the total market size, it would be large enough for you to operate in and turn in a profit. Niche markets are ignored by many businesspeople especially large organizations, which make them less competitive. When you are just starting to build a home internet business, you would find concentrating on a niche more profitable. You can also quickly become a major player in your chosen niche.
Experience has shown that many home-based businesses fail because the owners fail to manage their time effectively or are unable to separate home duties from business hours. When building a home internet business, clearly mark your office space and hours. Arrange the working space in your home just like an office. Your demeanor and even dressing should reflect that you treat your work serious. Do not use office time for home chores or to entertaining friends and relatives. Friends and relatives should be made to know and respect your working time. Since your home-based internet business pays your bills you need to give it the seriousness and respect that it deserves.

Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"
These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.
The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.
More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.
I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?
For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.
I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.
I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

3 Steps to design the best Website for your Home Business Success
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo
Home-biz Tips
There is a lot of information about how to build a good home business website out there. There are a lot of tips and tricks on how to build a home business website without needing a programmer or hiring a professional. All of these technical tips and little pieces of advice often overlook the big picture and end up making the home business owner micromanage the small details. While this is nice and will actually be good for the business it is not the only advice a person needs to hear in order to build a good home business website.
There are three key steps to building a good home business website. These three steps can easily be lost in the technical aspect of building a home business website. They are very important, though, to the user. When building a home business website keeping the user in mind is important, especially when building a home business website where the user is key to your success.
The three steps are as follows:
Step #1
Make it easy to use.
A home business website should be easy to use. A visitor should be able to navigate the site without hassle. This means they do not need to be bombarded with pop up ads or have to search for anything. Everything needs to be right there for them and they should be able to easily see how shopping and checking out works.
Step #2
It should be informative.
Online users are now used to home business websites that are informative and actually offer them something of value. Most people will simply leave a website if they can not get information from it. People are spoiled, but that doesn’t matter. A home business website needs a section with a blog or articles that allow the user to get useful information.
Step #3
It should be clear and simple.
This goes along with being easy to use. A home business website should not be cluttered or difficult to figure out. People are not going to work to get to anything on a website. If they can not figure it out then they will leave. Menus should be clear and every aspect of the shopping experience should be clear.
In order to ensure a website meets these three steps a home business website owner should try it out before going live. They should go through the website and make sure it is not confusing or there is too much on any page. It is also a good idea to put up a survey that allows visitors to say what they do and do not like about the site.
Making sure these three steps are covered will really help to make a home business website a success. It can be a big boost for a home business, as well. People want a good experience and a good experience includes a website that is easy to use, informative and clear. This is all something that can be worked into the final steps of building a home business website. Once the technical things are handled the focus can shift to making it user friendly and making it a website that people are going to want to visit.

How you can spot a Real Home Business Opportunity vs. Scam
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo
Work from Home-biz Tips
There is a lot of confusion for people getting into the work at home world about the difference between a legitimate home business opportunity and a scam. It is not surprising that people are thinking about it because work at home scams can be very damaging. Many people have spent a lot of money, wasted a lot of time and invested a lot into these scams that, in the end, result in no money earned.
The main point of confusion comes with the top work at home tip. Almost anywhere a person goes to inquire about working at home programs, they will see the number one tip – Never pay to work at home. This is a great piece of advice, but when it comes to a home business opportunity it is not completely true.
There is a fine line between paying for a scam and paying for a home business opportunity. Many scammers have even caught on and have changed the way they do things to make themselves look like a legitimate home business opportunity, which causes even more problems. It used to be that if you received a product or sales kit for the investment that you could assume it is legitimate. Many times with a scam they will send something that they claim is a sales kit, so it makes it hard to see the difference between a scam and something real.
So how does a person protect themselves from a scam when they want to get into a legitimate home business opportunity? All it takes is a little knowledge about keeping yourself safe. The following are two great tips that can help anyone avoid a scam and find a legitimate home business opportunity.
- Always check out the business. The Better Business Bureau is a nice start, but a person can not always get all the information here. A search online with the company’s name and the word scam will turn up better results. When people get scammed they are quick to tell the world and there will be signs all over the internet to tell if a company is a scam. Additionally, if nobody has heard of the company or there is nothing that comes up online about them then that is also a good sign they are not legitimate.
- Know what the investment is for. A person should know exactly what they are getting for their investment. If you do not know what you getting for your investment watch out! It should be something that is valuable and well worth the investment. For example, a person would not pay $100 as an investment for 5 brochures. That doesn’t make sense and is a sign of a scam.
These may seem like simple things to do, but they are one way to ensure that a company is real and not a scam. Just by doing these two simple things a person can really dodge a problem. They are simple things to do and they will not take much time. Usually scammers keep trying the same old game over and over. People will make sure that others are alerted so they can avoid the problems. That is one of the great things about home business opportunity and the online business environment – everyone looks out for everyone else.

Can You Start a Home Based Business Without Any Money?
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo
Home-Biz Tips
Starting a home based business does not have to cost a lot of money. It is a common misconception that people believe starting a home based business is expensive, but with the internet today that is not true. The internet has opened up new ways and possibilities that make it easy for a person to start a home based business without spending a dime.
That is true, a person can start a home based business without spending any money. All it takes is the ability to understand what it takes to get a home based business going and running without you spending any money.
One of the main things is choosing a home based business like a service business. With a service business a person is not going to have an inventory they have to maintain or the upfront costs associated with that. Services are generally going to be free. One good point to keep in mind is that the service should be something that can be done completely online, such as writing services or advice services. This will ensure it is something that can be done with no investment.
It is also important to network. Networking will draw in business and get the word out about your company. A person can easily network with those who may need their services. It works like word of mouth advertising. People talk and word gets around and before long their business has taken off.
There are a lot of free services that a person can use, as well. If they feel they must have a website then a free website can work. However, with a service business a person can usually use someone else’s website or even be fine without a website. Instead they can make up a sheet with all the information about their business on it and simply send it to people who may be interested about their services. This is free and easy to do.
It will take a lot of work and some time to really get a good business built up, but that is true even when spending money on it. It can seem like a lot of work to get started, but it is going to be work getting anything started. It is important not to build it up so big that it seems impossible because it really is possible. One of the biggest challenges in any type of work at home environment is just getting things started and many times people think that means spending a lot of money. The main point to remember is that money can not buy success and that it is not even needed to get started.
Starting a home based business for nothing may seem like a dream, but it really is a reality. It does not take a lot of advertising or even a lot of work to get started. With a service business it can be simple because a person may only need a few clients to make a good profit and earn what they need. That is why there is no need for major advertising campaigns and the frills of a website. Anyone can start a home based business without any money.

Is a Home Based Business Online your best Option?
Copyright © Oscar Salcedo
Home-biz Tips
Many people are interested in working at home, but they are too focused on what they have done in the traditional work environment to see all the possibilities in front of them. Many times people are looking to come into the work at home environment and work for a client or a company. There is a whole other side to working at home – the home based business online.
For some people a home based business online is a much better choice then a person choosing to work for someone else at home. A home based business online is much different than a work at home job and that is something that should be understood first when deciding between the two.
With a home based business a person has more control of the business. They can choose their own schedule and work when they want to work. Usually with a work at home job there is set schedule and more rules to follow. As you can see a home based business is great for someone wanting flexibility and more control of their business and the direction they want to go with it.
With a home based business there is less limitation on what you can do. A person can really go where they want with it. If they want to earn more they can work more to do that. With a work at home job, though, there is usually more limits as with a traditional job outside the home. A person is usually unable to earn as much as they want without sacrificing a lot more of their free time.
It is pretty clear that with a home based business a person has more ability to do what they want. A home based business online is a great way to be independent and to really become your own boss. For someone who wants less limitation and more freedom a home based business is the best choice. There are so many benefits to a home based business that a person can really have a good time with one.
Now that the benefits of a home based business online are outlined, it is important for a person to understand what a home based business is and how to get into one. Many people think a home based business means getting an inventory of products and selling them. That is one type of home based business, but there are also other business opportunities online that do not involve inventory or even products.
Service businesses are a great opportunity that is often overlooked. There is a wide market for writing. Starting a writing home based business is a wonderful opportunity that can be quite easy to start up if a person has good writing skills. There is also a large market for advice or experts as well. People can have a business where they talk to others and offer their expert help.
A home based business online is the ultimate freedom from the traditional working environment. It is a bit more risky then the traditional job or even the work at home job, but the payoffs can be so much better. For someone who is willing to take a risk and willing to put in some work and effort, a home based business online may just be the best choice.
