What has self-help
got to do with 'work from home business success'? Well, that is a good
question. Basically, in a nutshell, I can't think of many things more self-empowering
than being able to work when you want, where you want, and for who you want (i.e.
yourself). And that's what this work from home business success
page is all about. You'll find an interesting article, below, by Lynne Keller
called "Top 10 Best Home Based Businesses to Start During a Recession".
You'll read my own thoughts on running a work from home business (I've
done so since 2001). And you may even discover how you could do the same. Yes,
it's self help, but not as we know it Jim! (Ah,
I love Star Trek, I do!) Let's get going shall we. Obviously if
you have a comment you'd like to make about this page
please do share them!
Home based business success
- what I say...Now it just so happens that I know a thing or two about
home based business success. That's right, since 2001 I have worked at
home, and earned my living whilst doing so. Sometimes I've earned $$$LOTS
and sometimes I've earned $little, but I haven't worked for anybody but myself
since 2001. (I don't go to work in pyjamas if that's what you're thinking by the
way - I wear jeans, and other casual clothes - but I do decide my own hours, which
is maybe even better than wearing pyjamas to work! ;-) ) But just
because I'm a 'home based business success' does not mean I know anything about... -
'at home daycare', or
- 'dog walking' or even
- being a business
coach.
No, my work from home business success stems from what Lynne
Keller in her article below calls 'information publishing' (I call it web publishing).
Add a little splash of affiliate marketing (check out Science
of Getting Rich for an example), a tiny drop of web design and writing skills
and say a big THANK YOU to Google for creating Google
Adsense (a way for website owners to make money from advertising) and that's
me - Mr Steve, The Web Publisher. You should
not be surprised to hear that I make money from websites. Sites like Self
Help Collective, actually, and TextMeFree.co.uk. This
home based business success is not easy, mind! All you have to do is look at this
motley collection of words that people everyday look for on Google... work
from home, work from home online, work from home business,
part time work
from home, computer work from home, home based businesses,
home based business
opportunity, home based business opportunities,
home based jobs, home based
business ideas, best home based business opportunity,
small business success,
small business success story, business success tools to realise that
there is a great need out there for the right 'opportunity'. And, unfortunately,
this need is most often not being met. :-( (Check out this article
on home based business success from entrepreneur.com to learn more about what
to avoid!) Still, home based business success IS possible.
You just need determination, stick-to-it-iveness and belief. Yes, many things
you can develop here at the Self Help Collective (as long as you put what you
learn into action!) So what do I recommend you do for your own home based
business success? Hmm, there are many ways to skin a cat, if you'll pardon
the expression. Success - any kind of success really
- depends on what skills you have, what skills you're prepared to get, and how
much focus and determination you then apply those skills. Personally speaking,
I like the web publishing business model. It's not hard to learn how to build
a website (or how to market it) and there are online business success tools that
can let anyone build a successful website, with no web-building skills whatsoever. But
if you were to twist my arm, then I'd have to point you in the direction of
SBI! - whatever
way you wanted to earn an extra income online. (It's how I created Self
Help Collective, as it happens. And how other ordinary people created these self
improvement sites (though you can create
your site about any passion you have, not just self-help!) Anyway, I
don't want to steal all of Lynne's 'home based business success' thunder... :-)
Top 10 Best Home Based Businesses to Start During
a RecessionHome based business success - what Lynn Keller says...With
the economy in shambles and unemployment on the rise, is now a good time to start
a business? Yes, if you choose smartly a home based business can allow you to
thrive financially while still having the flexibility that will allow you to be
there with your family. Here are the top 10 best home based businesses to start
during a recession. 1. At home daycare Starting an at-home
daycare is one of the top 10 home based businesses to start. With daycare being
so expensive and so impersonal, many working families prefer to use home day cares
where there child will get personal attention at a reasonable cost. This business
is easy to set up but be sure to have contracts that you stick with. Check for
local regulations before you begin. 2. Pet sitting / dog walking Even
in tough economic times, people keep spending on their dogs and cats. Starting
a pet sitting business is a great way for animal lovers to make extra cash. In
addition to pet sitting, you can also offer dog walking for people who are stuck
at the office all day. If you are serious about starting a pet sitting business,
be sure to become bonded and insured. 3. Web design You don't
need to be extremely skilled to start a web design business. All you need is a
knack for selling to the local businesses in your area. Many of them don't have
a webpage but spend thousands on expensive and ineffective yellow page advertising. Learn
what kinds of sites business owners want and how to sell it to them, and you can
always outsource the technical work. 4. Freelance writing Many
people make extra money with freelance writing, and some make a career out of.
There are many places that you'll be able to sell your work, both online and offline.
For offline gigs, pick up a copy of Writer's Market. For online work, find people
who need articles, ebooks, and autoresponder emails and offer it to them at a
competitive (but livable) price. 5. Accounting Accounting isn't
for everyone, but if it is something that you enjoy consider becoming certified
and offering your services. You can either start your own business or buy an existing
franchise. 6. Blogging It's possible to make six figures blogging,
but you'll need to write frequently and spend your time wisely. There are many
ways to get paid by blogging, whether you are selling advertising space, selling
products for affiliate commission, or by displaying Google AdSense. 7.
Virtual Assistant If you are organized and enjoy learning new things,
consider becoming a virtual assistant. Network with small business owners to see
what kind of help they need. You might help them by running personal errands or
maintain their websites. 8. Business Coach Business coaching
is one of the most profitable home based businesses you can start. If you can
help a business succeed in a certain area, consider becoming a business coach. 9.
Affiliate Marketing If you want your home business to be internet-based,
consider affiliate marketing. With affiliate marketing you get a commission of
products that you sell. 10. Information publishing Information
publishing is a huge business and there is always room for another publisher.
Think about all the newspapers, magazines, and nonfiction books available. They
are all selling information. You, too, can sell information that other people
are willing to pay for. This can be done in the form of ebooks and downloadable
guides. The number one thing to remember when you are choosing one of the
top 10 best home based businesses is to follow your passion. If you provide a
service or a product that others need and keep your overhead costs low, your business
will be able to thrive in a booming economy or a recession. ----------------------------------------------------

based business success - what SBI! says...Now that Lynn has had her say.

Site Build It! (SBI). I've got this video, see, and it only lasts 2 and a half
minutes. And, well... It might just change your life! :-O
Some background: The man speaking in the video is Dr Ken
Evoy and he runs a company called Sitesell.com, which provides a home

SBI! above. Actually Site Build It is the service I used to create Self
Help Collective. Yep, it's an ideal tool for anyone to become a web publisher!
Anyone with a passion or hobby, that is. For me, SBI! is the perfect self-help
tool, because: - It helps you change your life, for the better. Really
- It's
fun - you get to help people by sharing your knowledge or passion with them AND
you earn an extra income to boot. That's my kind of fun! :-)
- It
is suitable to all, not just people with specialised website building or internet
marketing skills
- SBI's 'work from home business success' is doable
- it comes with a step-by-step approach (Action Guide) and support whenever you
need it
- There's even a brand new online course where you can learn
about Site Build it! with others - learn to earn, as it were - over a 12-week
period, with scheduled classes and everything.
...But I'm starting
to sound like a bad car salesman. Ooops! So I'll say no more. ;-) If you
are at all interested in learning about SBI! - to see whether it could be the
'self-help tool' for you for your home based business success story - then please
