Are you still struggling to find the right idea for your home based business? Do you constantly surf the net looking for something you can translate into your own business? Do you find yourself backing off from making any move through indecision? Let me help you to work through the fog around home based businesses, find the right idea and make good money for yourself.First of all, you have to make an important decision. If you seriously want to find the right homebased business that will bring in a good income, you have to wean yourself from depending on other people to pay you a “wage”. Tell yourself things like:I will not stuff envelopes
I will not be paid a measly sum to type other (lazy) people’s work
I will not fill in forms online
I will not process other people’s emails on my computer
I will not fill in pointless surveys online
I will not pay a fee to be able to type medical transcriptsWhy?Because I want to learn to generate my own income with my home based business that will benefit my family and my future! Cutting yourself free from other people’s payroll is quite possibly one of the hardest things you can do. Like me, you have probably been taught from infancy to depend on it. What are you told in school? “Do well in your exams” “Get the best grade you can” “Go to the best university you can – get the best training you can – find the best job you can – earn the best wage you can!” Good advice, if you want to remain an employee.I am not against education. Education is good. Education is the best, education is knowledge. Unfortunately, after years of hard work, your education may end up placing you in boring jobs building good fortunes for somebody else.If you want to find out the very best home based business for you, look within. What interests you so much that you would do it for free – with no salary and no payment whatsoever? What do you love doing so much that you willingly stay up late into the night, because you can’t stop? That would be called your passion – and that would be the ideal thing to base your home business idea on.Running with your passion in your own business means that you get to spend time researching all the creative ways you can market and produce your product. Discover what competition already exists in your niche market. Who will benefit from what you have to offer? How can you get your product to them in an original manner? Find a way to fill any exposed gaps you discover.Don’t discount your passion. Chances are it’s what you were made to do – and you can probably do it exceptionally well. Work through the fog around home based businesses, find the right idea and make good money for yourself. If you go now to http://www.earnyourwealth.co.uk I can show you how to get in-depth training in marketing strategies, techniques and proven methods to get you started in your own home based business today.
Home Based Businesses – Find the Right Idea and Make Good Money For Yourself
Why Thinking Backwards Helps Home Based Business Success
More and more people these days are looking for home based business success – and success generally includes making enough money. Money buys a greater sense of freedom and security. But how do you do it?
In his 1960 classic self-improvement book Psycho-Cybernetics, Dr Maxwell Maltz wrote about the BE – DO – GET three-step principle for achieving personal goals. In order to get the results you want, you need to do what it takes. In order to do what it takes you need to be the sort of person who thinks about taking appropriate actions.
So it’s a question of thinking backwards. If you want the end result, you need to work on becoming the sort of person who takes the right actions. ‘Begin with end in mind’, was the way Stephen Covey put it in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
You can apply exactly the same principle to home based business success. If you want to achieve a certain money goal, it’s critical to know what action steps are needed. But it’s not possible to take these steps unless your thinking is in alignment with those steps.
For example, you can find a host of adverts promising inexpensive ways to ‘get rich quick for little or no effort’. These ideas most often don’t work. The initial thinking is wrong because it is based on jumping to the end result with no foundation work.
Then you get the other end of the spectrum where people say that any suggestion of making money from a home business has to be a scam. That can’t be right either. It defies logic. It’s a bit like saying that no-one can ever achieve any goal.
Building a successful small business is a creative act that needs the right vision. It also requires focus, hard work and persistence. These are the qualities that home entrepreneurs need to develop. Into that mix you can add ‘pick a good small business idea’, and improve your knowledge on general business principles such as marketing and time management.
It isn’t easy but it is possible – and thinking backwards is a great help.
A Simple Product Creation and Product Launching Formula
If you tried to think of people involved in product creation, who would come to mind? You may think of Edison, Franklin, or maybe Henry Ford. Would you ever think of yourself as someone who can create a quality product? Product creation is actually relatively easy and product launching is not that tough either! If you follow a few easy to understand steps, you could be starting the product creation and product launching process sooner than you think.
The first step in creating your information product is to know and understand your market. This can be very time-consuming, especially if you are unsure of what to do or where to look to know your market. Studying your niche market and understanding the buzz words and buying patterns can ease the process dramatically. Personally, I would recommend networking with someone who has had success in the niche market you are considering and learn from their results. If they are into product creation and not very business savvy expect some hesitation. If they only sell products and have nothing to do with product launching or product creation you may your first affiliate (sales person)! Something else you can use to find hot trends is with the Google Trends tool.
The second step is the product creation process. Take your niche market and brainstorm ideas and topics relating to it. There are a lot of product launching contests going on recently relating to a newly created internet marketing tool. There are so many aspects to the mentioned niche that literally, and unfortunately, anything can be considered an Internet Marketing tool. The reason that anyone can basically create an Internet Marketing tool is because of something called Private Label Rights products.
What I use private label rights products for, and highly recommend them in this specific manner, is to cure writer’s block especially when it is lingering. Many people base their entire product creation and product launching on a private label rights product. This is where you can start to shine and build a strong brand for yourself. If you set goals for yourself, short-term goals to be exact, you can see your product creation come into being much faster and there is a good chance with less revision needed. If you keep hitting time restraint road blocks; however there is nothing wrong with a slow and steady approach, you can consider outsourcing portions of your project. Outsourcing can be an extremely huge benefit or just as great of a disaster.
You can find someone to outsource work to at a freelance site such as Guru.com or eLance.com. When reviewing proposals it is almost mandatory you perform a background check on them as you are in essence hiring them. Doing a background check on freelancers is as easy as asking for samples of their work and reviewing feedback on the freelance site from previous customers. Depending on the size and requirements of your project this can add up to a decent sized investment, so caution is very important. One tip I always recommend to people looking to hire an individual is to ask them what they can provide you that no one else can. This simple question gives them a chance to “toot their own horn” and acknowledge where they feel most competent as far as their skill set.
The final portion of the product creation and product launching formula is the launch. This can literally make or break the effort, time, and maybe (if you invested) money you put in to your project. There are numerous aspects to product launching and although their relevance is debated in terms to their effect, experts agree all must be followed. The person in your field who you asked for product advice from can help you substantially if you have kept in touch. If not, the first thing you need to do is to create a visually appealing website with flawless design work.
I also mentioned outsourcing before, this is one aspect of product launching I have little strength in and I always outsource this portion. The website does not have to be large however the content (ad copy in Internet Marketing) must be stellar and as perfect as possible. This is where advertising knowledge or experience is beneficial. When the site is set up you now put a lead capture form on your website.
I put two lead capture pages on all products I create on the internet and is one of the best methods of getting a solid start when you are in the product launching stage. When you gain information from a prospect or someone looking to get paid for referring sales you are able to provide them updates or specials. Many people abuse their prospect or affiliate lists by in turn emailing them with a new product daily and I find the recommendations to be totally unrelated to their original need, problem, or interest.
Another stage in the product launching stage is creating a free report or demo version of your product to entice the product to sign up to your email list. Using proper follow up with this can help generate numerous sales for you. One thing you need to ensure is that your free product completely relates to your main product that you are looking to sell.
You are now ready to advertise your product launching to customers as well as the opportunity to sell for affiliates. This is the single aspect that many product creations and launches fail on. It is actually not entirely difficult. One thing you can do is write articles (and a good amount of them) on topics relating to your product. I am a huge advocate of giving a solution in forums. When you join a forum you are normally offered the opportunity to create a signature. In your signature, you should enter the link to your opt-in or lead capture page. When you respond to posts, you are advertising your opportunity.
It is not impossible to create a product and it does not have to take a long time. You need to setup a plan and stick to it. If you get stuck, look at similar and successful products to your own and try and see how they did it. When you sit down and brainstorm you will be surprised with what you can imagine.
