Firing Your Boss: Starting Your Own Internet Business From Home

August 21st, 2010 No comments

Everyday millions of people are making a living online with their very own Internet business. They do not have to get up with the rest of the rat race and sit in traffic to go to a dead end job making somebody else rich and barely being able to pay off their mortgage or car. People who work from home can have the freedom to do what they want and spend money without the fear of becoming homeless. Did you know that most people are 2 months away from becoming homeless if they lost their jobs today.


Does starting your own Internet business from home and leveraging money in your favor sound appealing to you?


Below are some of the some of the major reasons people decide to start up their own Internet business :



Extremely low start-up costs

A business in the real world is a big liability. You have alot of overhead and bills to pay. Starting your own Internet business from home only requires you to have a Internet connection, Domain name and a website. All of these things can be purchased for under $100 plus you can deduct expenses on part of your house when operating a home business when tax time comes. And the best part is you don’t need to pay employees and deal with the headache of hiring and office politics.



You get to work from the comfort of your house or apartment

You will wake up in the morning and not have to stress over getting ready and not being late to you job. Your bedroom will be your office and you can work at your own pace without a boss hanging over you and pressuring for you to get done because he doesn’t want to pay overtime. You choose when you want to work, take break and eat lunch. No more dealing with back stabbing at the office and working hard for less money.



The entire world is only a click away

All of your prospects are only a click away and you have the whole world right in front of you on the computer screen. The Internet is growing by the millions every year with people looking to earn extra income from a Internet business.



You get to spend more time with your family

By starting you own Internet business from home you will get to see your family and friends more and build a better relationship with them. Most parents are struggling to make money and have to work 2 jobs just so they can pay their bills and send their kids to school. By working at home you will be able to spend more quality time with your children instead of coming home after working hard all day just to go to sleep because you are so tired from the commute and stress at the job.



Your Internet business can be fully automated

After a few months of starting you home business you can set it up so it can be fully automated making money flow for you 24 hours a day! Once you set it up on automation you can spend time searching for other opportunities to make you more money. The money you will be making is residual, it will grow over the years and give you security a regular job cannot guarantee. The reason their is such a explosion of new millionaires in the world is because of the Internet as a resource to make money.



You can turn whatever you are passionate about into a business online

Just about any conceivable topic can be turned into a Internet business. Their is a demand for information online and people are willing to pay a big price for it. Just think of something in your life that fills you with passion and you will be on the way to making a living online.



Internet businesses have low operating costs

Some Internet businesses can be set-up to have no expenses. A bit of advice when first starting out is to not get overwhelmed by all of the information being thrown at you. If you start signing up for every program and buy every software that guarantees success you will put yourself in a hole fast. Just stick to what you are doing and have a routine. Experiment and find out what works for you and what does not so you can minimize your advertising costs.



You can have multiple Internet businesses

You can have as many Internet businesses as you want running online making you money 24 hours a day! They will never call in sick, give you an attitude or demand a raise. Since the operating costs are so low once you get one going on auto-pilot you can work on setting up another one and going through the whole process again.



The Internet is an extremely huge market growing every year

According to InternetWorldStats.com the number of people online is 1,022,863,307. It has grown 183% from 2000-2005. The number of U.S. home-based businesses generating an income last year reached 13.8 million; 9.7 million were generating the primary income of their households


So does starting a Internet business from home appeal to you? Given the reasons above I am sure you can come to a conclusion if working from home is right for you and your family.

Is the Sony Ericcson Vivaz up to the job for business users?

August 21st, 2010 No comments

Sony Ericsson Vivaz business mobile

Sony Ericsson have now introduced the new Sony Vivaz mobile phone as a successor to their flagship Satio mobile phone.

Here we review it to see how it compares and also mainly to see if it is a realistic and quality business mobile phone.

The main selling point of the phone is the camera and the video camera, the camera is 8.1 mega pixels and the video camera can record 720p HD video and also has 8 gigs of memory card storage.

This touchscreen business mobile phone has been fairly well designed and sits nicely in the palm, but it does look plastic and does not have the same quality look or feel as a lot of the current smartphones. It has a great range of social networking and multi-media features, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is set to give the likes of the Nokia X6 and the LG InTouch Max GW620 a run for their money.

However it is very different to the popular business mobile phones such as the Blackberry’s, the i-phone and the HTC Desire – it probably suits the younger, more media savvy business person best.

Here is a short video review of the Sony Ericcson Vivaz

It’s a lightweight handset and pretty slick, so slick in fact that  I found it all too easy to drop.

The Sony Vivaz is available in 4 different colour options, the best selling are the silver and ruby options.

The touch screen is fairly good, not as sensitive and accurate as the i-phone or the HTC Desire but it is not far off.

On the front of the phone there are the call and end buttons as well as the menu button, with volume/zoom and two camera buttons on the right side panel, as well as the power/lock on the top.

The latter can be a bit fiddly to hit when holding the Vivaz in just one hand.

Consistent with the focus on the younger business user there is a 3.5mm headphone jack to allow you to plug in your own headphones – a great plus for heavy media users.

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz comes with a charger plug, separate USB to microUSB cable to connect to the plug or to your PC, a pair of Sony Ericsson headphones and a standalone stylus – not so useful I felt.

The headphones that come with the phone have a built in microphone so can double as a hands free kit for the car.

The Symbian S60/S1 operating system is commonly found on mobile phones like the Nokia 5800, N97 and X6 but the phone is still very typical of a Sony Ericsson.

The menus are clear and easy to navigate but the sub menu’s seem fairly cramped. You can customise the home screen with the functions that you use the most which reduces the amount of navigation that you have to do.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz

The default set up offers a row of five widget tabs across the top of the screen which can be customised as you wish – i really liked this function and felt that it was useful for all users not just business mobile phone users.

Although it’s nice to have the customisation options they are not as varied and wide ranging as the options on other business mobile phones such as the HTC Tattoo and LG InTouch Max GW620, where a wider of widgets are on offer.

To lock/unlock the keys you need to hit the lock/unlock button and then select yes/no on screen – personally I liked this as i hate it when I just unlock the phone by accident so appreciate the two button process but I know that this will annoy other users.

The only difficulty is that it is quite easy to press the lock/unlock button too hard and accidentally switch the phone off. Also annoying is the length of time taken for the Sony Ericsson Vivaz to close down, and starting up again isn’t exactly lightning fast.

It was also far too easy to forget to choose any option from the menu and just leave the keys and screen active in your pocket or bag, from which all keys and screen can be accidentally pressed due to the resistive screen.

The Sony vivaz auto-rotate function takes a second or two too long to work.

As well as this the handset’s multi-tasking feature is a little tricky to use as things do not close down easily but I did find it easy to switch between functions.

Simply using the menu or end buttons keeps them open in the background, so you end up with several unnecessary things running, slowing the handset right down and taking away all the advantages of the Vivaz’s fast processor.

Like the Blackberry Apps World it is easy to download new apps for the home screen with the PlayNow app store but there are not as many good functional apps as the i-phone or Blackberry have and they are not as well focused for the business user.

The apps provided include; music, game and wallpaper downloads as well as other apps, but they’re generally not cheap and there are very few free options, I found this just disappointing compared to the other mobile phones on the market.

It’s very easy to get to the dial pad on the home screen and it is also easy to access the contacts function as you can access it through the call button and through the menu.

The quality of the sound on calls with the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is pretty good; both the caller and the recipient’s voices were clear and comfortable to hear, although there was a little static on the Vivaz’s end.

The individual contact entries are very good for business users as you can enter multiple numbers and email addresses as well as company information, job title and photos to help you include all necessary info which can easily be forarded onto your colleagues.

Favourite contacts can be saved to one of the five home screen tabs for quick and easy access. but you can’t synch your phone book with your social networking profiles.

There are a good range of messaging options including SMS text messaging, email options and an SMS conversations view – which basically shows your texts in another format and it also has a range of granular message settings.

It was very easy to set up an email account on the Sony ericcson Vivaz – I just registered the email address, entered in the username and password and the phone set up the rest.

It was also pretty easy to set up exchange email, It was quick to synch with the server but we did have to input the settings manually.

A significant problem for the business mobile phone user is that the phone only synch’s email messages each time the inbox is actually opened which is not great – it would be more more effective if push mail was configured by default as business mobile phone users really need live mail.

Typing is OK as I briefly mentioned earlier, but the touchscreen is not as good as some of the other smartphones on the market, also there is no autocorrect function, which is a real annoyance for minor mistakes. There is a dodgy stylus but none of us really have time for those anymore and have higher expectations since the i-phone’s release.

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz only connects to the internet when you open an application requiring the internet, not a problem but not as convenient as the leaders of the business mobile phone market.

It does work out well if you’re on a budget in terms of minutes but frustrating if you have unlimited web access as part of your contract.

It also kept asking me what kind of internet connection I wanted to use every time i used an application that was reliant on internet access, this wasted time and was frustrating for heavy mobile phone users.

Web browsing was frustratingly slow, the larger, more media heavy web pages took up to a minute to download. Connecting to the internet through the Wi-Fi connection was more consistent but even slower.

There is a good zoom function for web browsing that allows you to focus in on parts of web pages that you are interested in but there was a lot of scrolling back and forth as with most mobiles with a screen of this size.

Another issue is that the Sony Ericsson Vivaz isn’t Flash compatible, so Flash-based sites will render only as plain text.

There are good web connections and apps for Youtube and BBC as well as some social networking apps which generally worked well, but again the constant need to log in quickly wore me down when testing the web abilities of the Sony Vivaz.

Because of this I really cannot recommend this phone for business mobile phone users as almost all will need good email and web access.

Moving on….The camera is actually a high quality one with 8.1MP as well as a good video camera and compares well to a mid range digital camera.

There are two separate buttons to open the video and simple camera functions, as well as this there is an on screen function to switch between the two.

There’s no manual focus but you can select between specialist options for specific types of shots; macro for close-ups, infinite mode for landscape shots and portrait mode and as well as these options there is an auto focus option.

The camera handled colours well, even in incandescent light and was one of the best mobile phones that i have tested for it’s camera abilities so far.

Overall, this is not a phone that i can recommend for business mobile phone users at this price point. If you do have a specific need for a relatively good camera and video camera as well as simple email and web options then it may be fit for your purpose but considering what else is currently on the market i cannot honestly push this one.

How To Start Work From Home Internet Business

August 20th, 2010 No comments

Is it money, independence, success-stories about internet, a millionaire dream or…?

The ” core motivation ” to work from home internet business is important because it will direct a starter to the right kind of programs.

A program must ” fit ” for a starter and a new home business owner must feel like home there. Whatever a starter´s plan is, the market will dictate the rules of every business in the internet. How the market works is the only angle to look at possibilities in home business.

It is not wise to try to invent the wheel again or try to change the rules in the internet. I can tell you, it is impossible. Rather a newbie should direct his efforts towards proven, successful affiate programs to make sure the start will be a success.

I highly recommend to start work from home internet business by joining an ” old ” affiliate program, which has a strong reputation and the size of business that proves they can do it.

As a starter at work from home internet business it is extremely important to make the first choices right and the most important choice is the internet business a newbie will promote.

The internet is full of scams overpromising and underdelivering. These must be avoided.
A solid work from home internet business affiliate program is normally widely known all over internet, so avoid newcomers.

A newbie makes wisely if he, before joining anything, joins a couple of discussion forums ( my favorites are: associateprograms.com and warriorforum.com ) to get the touch of the programs. People who join discussions are experienced marketers ( not sellers ) and discuss on a practical, everyday level.

There it is possible also to make questions, which can be very interesting. If a program has an own forum, it is a sign of real target to succeed in work from home internet business on long term.

Another important issue is helpful, rapid online support, which will never leave a starter alone with his questions.

By joining an affiliate program a starter will avoid a lot of difficult things: site set-up, payment arrangement, updating site, product pricing, dropping and adding products etc.

As a starter at work at home internet business a newbie can concentrate learning. And that only is his job in the beginning. The question is not about running a home business but learning how to run internet home business.

When a starter will think of the process of learning a new profession, the major thing is: it will take time. People study for years new professions in high schools and universities.

This is very important issue to understand, because it will make the whole process more realistic.

It will take time, not weeks but months and years. Understanding this will prevent a newbie to overinvesting into promotions in the beginning.

One important thing during the proces is: protect your motivation. Too big, repeated errors easily kill it. So study all the moves carefully before action.

Once again: the question is not about the money invested into promotions but about the know-how. The internet reacts only to professional actions, it doesn´t care or even know the amounts invested.

A starter must be careful because in the beginning the enthusiasm runs his thoughts. And that is good but also a little bit dangerous.

As said, proven affiliate program with experienced people around helping, it is nice to start work from home internet business.

Evaluating Home Based Internet Businesses for Investment

August 20th, 2010 No comments

There are literally thousands of home based internet businesses that have been started over the past few years, with many being hugely successful, while others failing miserably. The question that many people are trying to figure out is how do you know when a business like this operated over the Internet will be successful. This is a brand new ball game, which many of the existing guidelines of business behavior do not apply. We will examine a few of these concepts in this article and hopefully you will find them helpful and interesting as you consider any new Internet businesses.

As we mentioned there are literally thousands of home based Internet businesses, so we cannot review specific possibilities, however this article will discuss some of the areas that entrepreneurs are focusing on.

New Internet businesses can be divided into the following broad categories. Businesses with real products that need to be shipped and use the internet as part of their sales and advertising tools; businesses that are selling services that can be delivered over the internet such as software code, etc.; businesses that are providing tools to support online business which can consist of both hardware as well as applications for security, marketing, analysis and evaluations. Then of course there is all of the immoral areas, spam and other areas that many people are into, but most would frown on. This latter type of business will not be discussed in this article.

Every business, whether it is a Internet business or what we will call a brick and mortar business should be evaluated before you invest time and resources. The traditional elements such as a business plan, skill set requirements, strategic fit etc should be reviewed and if you are satisfied, business owners may still want to proceed with the new business opportunity.

In addition to the above traditional areas that should be considered, anyone beginning a new Internet business should evaluate the potential of their idea from another aspect. Since the Internet is relatively new, there are few established business guidelines and rules to follow. Investors are still learning what this means and how the Internet can be exploited for business opportunities.

Starting home based Internet businesses is risky and calls for a different approach. Many investors will test the waters so to speak, with trials and will complete their research on the Internet to determine how much competition there is, what services or products are being offered and evaluate whether they can be successful in their chosen area. Advertising is another key element that must be considered in any business, but specifically an Internet business. Traditional advertising media usually does not work, instead owners of new home based Internet businesses must consider advertising using the internet as their means of finding customers and communication with their customers.

Evaluate the skills you need to begin your home based Internet business and seek the training you need or hire the appropriate people with the right skill sets. Once you have completed the research into these home based Internet businesses, you can make a decision regarding investment using some of the traditional economic and strategic business evaluation tools.

Starting an Internet Business – Hermits and Party Animals

August 20th, 2010 No comments

Starting an Internet business can be a life changing experience. Whether the change is for the better or the worse, depends upon you making the right choices when you are first considering the idea of starting an Internet business. If you start an Internet business that is wrong for you, it will very likely be a miserable experience right from the beginning and swiftly end in failure. Before you even take the first step towards starting an Internet business, long before you start thinking about domain names and design, you should think about your personality type and decide whether starting an Internet business is really the right direction for you to take.

Are you the type of person who is happiest working alone and gets so involved in work that hours fly by without you noticing? If so, you have definite hermit tendencies. maybe you are more the type of person who works with one eye trained on the clock because you don’t want to miss a second of the coffee-break gossip. If this sounds more like you, you are of the party animal persuasion. Of course these are broad stereotypes and most people will fall somewhere in between, having attributes of both types. Just decide which type comes closest to describing you before you go any further with starting an Internet business.

To be a successful Internet business owner you need to be the type of person who can work happily without supervision in complete isolation for long hours – does that sound grim to you? Actually it is not as bad as it sounds. You won’t have to work long hours forever but, when you are first starting an Internet business, you will most likely need to put in some extra hours. You will need those extra hours because there will be a learning curve to work through while everything is new to you. You will speed up as things become familiar and you settle into a routine. If you have pronounced hermit tendencies, you won’t even notice the time passing.

If you need the input of other people to feel comfortable in your work or if the social side of your working life is of paramount importance to you, starting an Internet business might not be a good idea for you at all. If you know deep down that you need human interaction to be happy, you would be far better to forget the idea of starting an Internet business. If your personality is more suited to an occupation which would bring you into face to face contact with your customers, an offline business would be a much better idea.

Starting an Internet business could work out very well for you if you are balanced somewhere between both types of character. If you are the type of person who enjoys the company of other people but can work happily on your own, starting an Internet business could work out well for you. If you have characteristics of both the hermit and the party animal, you might find it a bit of a struggle to cope with working online at first. However, once you are through the learning curve, you could be very happy to live the solitary life of an internet business owner on a part time basis. Working part-time on the Internet means you will still have time to indulge the party animal side of your character.

Building a Home Internet Business to Make an Income Online

August 20th, 2010 No comments

The internet offers anybody with a computer and internet connection the opportunity to start a home internet business with a click of the mouse, but building a home internet business is where the challenge, work and excitement begin.

Too many people get totally disillusioned when they have not made an income online after a few days or weeks of starting their home internet business, but that is purely because they do not appreciate the fact that it takes time and effort to build a business online.

The building process of a home internet business never stops and if you can appreciate that you will need to be continually building, extending, maintaining or making alterations then you will be well on your way to making an income online.

Building A Home Internet Business

Your need to get your website in front of as many people as possible who are looking for what your business has to offer, so the whole building process is geared to attracting vast numbers of targeted visitors to your home internet business.

This involves making the presence of your business felt on the internet and this is the process of building that we are going to discuss here.

It is important that you have a means of building your list. Offering an email newsletter is a good example and with an auto-responder set up your visitors will be able to subscribe to your newsletter and so you start the list building process. This will enable you to also send your list members broadcast messages from time to time.

Ensuring that your website is search engine friendly is another important factor to ensure that you achieve good rankings in the search results and you can optimize your website for your chosen keywords yourself.

There are many ways to start making the presence of your business felt and it is advisable to use a variety of methods. Building back-links to your website is what is needed to give you better rankings in the search engines and a very effective method is writing and submitting articles to the article directories on a regular consistent basis, using the author resource box to anchor your keyword phrase to your website.

Exchange links with other websites to build your link popularity and add your link to web directories. Constructively post in forums with a link to your website in your signature. These methods can be totally free if you have the time to write and submit. If you are short of time you can always hire a ghostwriter to write your articles and invest in an article submitter for submitting your articles.

Pay per click advertising is another way to get almost instant targeted traffic to your website. You can also place adverts on the respected classifieds sites. Social bookmarking and blogging are also quick ways to spread the word.

Extending A Home Internet Business

As far as your actual website or blog is concerned it is important to continually add new content, not only to please the search engines but to add interest to your site as well. You can continually expand your website by adding new pages which target different keywords, thus attracting different visitors. Monitor your rankings in the search engines for your chosen keywords and keep an eye on your competition and make adjustments to your site where necessary.

As the presence of your home internet business starts to be felt on the internet the volume of traffic to your website will steadily increase and if this is not happening you know that you need to do more of the above disciplines.

Maintaining Your Website

Be sure to regularly maintain your website by way of checking that all your links are working. Check your download time. Remove unnecessary links. Add more up-to-date features. Keep your website current.

Making Alterations To Your Website

There may come a time that you are receiving a lot of traffic to your website but you are still not making an income online. What now?

This is when you need to take a serious look at your website. Are you offering what you promised in your adverts? Can your visitors easily find what they are looking for? Is your website easy to navigate? Is your website displaying offers or adverts from other websites that are distracting your customers? Do you have irritating flashing banners on your site? Are you asking your visitors to fill out too many forms or lengthy surveys? Do you have a call to action section? Are you giving your visitors too many options? Are you offering too much information or non-relevant content?

Many forums have a section where you can submit your website for a review. A good idea would be to go back to the forums where you have been posting and submit your site for a review, explain the problems you are experiencing and request honest feedback to help you solve the problem. You could join an SEO forum as well and submit your site for a review from a more specialized point of view.

Making An Income Online

As you can see from the above, there are many factors involved in building a successful home internet business, but once you have reached the stage that your website is being viewed by a large number of people on a daily basis who are in the market for what your home internet business has to offer and your website is clear in its offerings, that is when you will start making an income online.

Alternatives to Traditional Business Loans

August 20th, 2010 No comments

 

If you find that you are having difficult when looking for a business loan then there are a number of different potential funding avenues that you may want to investigate. In fact, you may want to investigate these alternative financing methods even prior to beginning the business loan application process.

 

In regards to obtaining debt financing, the alternative to this in general is that you could seek to raise capital from angel investors or a venture capital firm. These companies specialize in making equity investments into companies that have substantial growth potential. However, unlike a business loan, an equity investor will require that you sell shares of your business to the individual or investment firm. Additionally, many professional investors will want a substantial say in regards to the direction of the company, and they will want to sit on the board of directors.

 

Another alternative to a traditional business loan is a business line of credit, which much like a business loan, can be secured by real property that you already own. If you do not require one lump sum of capital in order to launch of expand your operations then it may be in your best interest to secure a line of credit that you can drawn down as needed. Much like a business loan, a formal business plan, personal financial statements, credit checks, and collateral checks will be required to secure this type of financing.

 

If you are already in business, you can also obtain a cash advance on your accounts receivables or credit card receivables based on your monthly volume. However, these business loans usually carry very high interest rates as they are secured ultimately by your customers’ ongoing ability to you. This is often referred to as factoring, and this method of obtaining a business loan or line of credit is really only appropriate if you operate a capital intensive business.

Credit Scores and Looking for A Business Loan

August 20th, 2010 No comments

As has been one of the topics discussed throughout these articles, credit scores are extremely important when applying for business loans. With lending standards tightening among all banks and financial institutions, it is imperative that you have a credit score that implies that you are a worthy credit risk. A credit score is calculated based on a number of factors including your past payment history, your current debts, how long you have had credit, and whether or not you have any delinquent accounts. Today, most lenders want to see a credit score above 680 if they are going to grant you a business loan.

 

When looking for business loan, you should pull all three of your credit reports from the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Trans Union, and Experian). Each bureau maintains its own records so it is important to ensure that the information on each of your reports is correct. Most banks now look at all three different reports to make sure that there are no discrepancies.

 

If your current credit is not in a good state then you may want to talk to your accountant or a properly licensed credit counselor before applying for a business loan. They will be able to assist you in making appropriate decisions regarding how you can improve your credit score so that when you do apply for a business loan – you will have no issues pertaining to your credit.

 

As we have discussed earlier, if you have an outstanding business project that needs financing but you do not have an appropriate credit score then you may want to seek alternative methods of finance. This can include bootstrapping your business or seeking equity investments from private investors. You may also want to go to familiar sources such as family and friends as potential lenders/investors in your business venture.
