Working from home isn't for everyone. In fact, if you really enjoy the social buzz of your workplace it may not be for you. But for many home business owners it's their dream come true. No more commuting, no dress code, no office politics. Being able to be home when the children are sick, working your own hours and knowing that the more time and effort you put in the more money you will make are just some of the pluses.

If you are contemplating running your own home business, it's important to think carefully before you take that leap into self employment. Below are some tips that may help you decide if it's the right path for you.

Employee to Boss

Your own home business means you're in charge of everything to do with it. You are boss. You're an entrepreneur, planning manager, marketing whiz, sales director, customer service executive and payroll expert. This can be a scary thought but it's also liberating.

Being boss can be a lonely position at times so you need to be happy with your own company and be able to work independently. If you love the social interaction with work colleagues and the shared morning teas and lunches, think carefully about whether a home business is for you.

Self Motivation

Self motivation is needed in bucketfuls if you are going to be successful. You will need to be determined and driven. The time and effort you put in to your business will determine your level of success. Thankfully each time a new sale is made it spurs you on to work harder. Stay focused and positive when sales are down or when someone makes a negative comment. Build your business step by step, strength by strength, day by day, week by week. Remember your earnings are directly proportional to your productivity.

Discipline

It takes discipline to get up on a freezing cold morning and start work especially when there is no manager around who cares whether you're working or not. But to grow your business you need to dedicate time to it. Make sure your family or friends understand that you're not available for some hours of the day when you're working and that they respect the time you put into the business. There will be distractions - family, friends, neighbors, visitors, pets, household chores, television and more. If you choose to work at home you need to be disciplined enough to put in the hours needed.

Financial Rewards

There has probably never been a better time to start a home business. Large corporate companies are downsizing. There are more redundancies. Unemployment has risen. Job security is uncertain. This may be the time for you to step up and create your own place in the home business niche. Whatever you do, put 110% into it and enjoy your financial rewards. for free report and tips send mail to coaching4naija@gmail.com

Why do people choose to start a home based business? There are probably as many answers to that question as there are people to answer it. Though there is no way to sum up every reason anyone has ever had for operating a home business, it is possible to look at some of the most common reasons that people have for doing so, and knowing the most common reasons why people like home based businesses could very well help you decide if a home based business is right for you.

1. You Get To Go To Work In Your Pajamas

This is conceivably the most popular reason for anyone wanting to work at home. It's not so much that you simply get to wear that ratty t-shirt and your flannel pants at "the office," but the real perk is the convenience of rolling out of bed, taking your bowl of cereal with you to the computer, and just getting to work without any concern for what you look like, freeway traffic, impressing the boss or getting up on time. In that regard, working from home is so much easier.

2. You Get To Be With Your Family

When you're at an office downtown, you can't stop to kiss your wife or take a break to play catch with the kids. When you're the owner of an Adventures in Advertising franchise, your client's advertising needs do not generally need to be taken care of immediately. You can spend time with your family, your favorite pet and so much more, because you're in the home office, only 20 feet away from the people you love the most. That proves to be a big help on those days when your son is home sick, your daughter needs to be picked up from ballet, the dog just came in covered in mud, and your spouse just can't manage without your help.

3. You Get To Choose Your Own Hours

Getting up at 6am to be at work at 8am is not for everyone, though most people manage to suffer through it when it's required of them. When you work from home, however, you have the freedom to work when you work best. However, there are still restrictions to that rule, even in home business. For instance, as owner of a DVDNow automated rental machine business, you cannot just wake up at midnight and expect to access the machines you've placed in grocery stores and malls around town, because those businesses are closed. Yet you do have the freedom to sleep into the afternoon and still be able to do your work, if it suits you and suits whatever business you own.

4. You Don't Have To Start From Scratch

This has far more to do with the fact that these businesses are franchises and less to do with the fact that they're operated from home. The benefit of buying a Human Resource Rx franchise is that instead of having to figure out how to open and operate a business-to-business human resources establishment, form a client base of local small businesses, build your business name, and profit entirely on your own power, everything is planned out for you, before you even make the purchase. In some ways it's like the difference between painting a Van Gogh freehand and a Van Gogh paint-by-numbers.

5. You Get Ongoing Support

Not only does the WSI Internet franchisee not have to start his business by himself, but every franchise business for sale comes with the continued support of the franchisor, who works diligently to ensure that the franchisee has everything he needs to continue working in a way that profits him and honors the business' name. The purpose of both the central company and the franchisee is to ensure that the business is providing clients with the best internet marketing help they can get.

6. You Get To Pick Your Own Clients

Let's face it, not all people work as well together as others; some clients just aren't going to be good matches for you and your particular services, and that's fine. When you work for someone else, that someone has the power to decide who your clients will be, but what working for yourself provides you with is the freedom to decide who you want to take on as a client: who will work well with you and who won't. There are few business opportunities outside of home business that give that degree of liberty, and franchise owners recognize that.

7. Work Only As Often As You Like

Many franchises afford you the autonomy to determine your own workload, because franchisors realize that for varying reasons, not every franchisee is interested in making the same time commitment to their new business. T for example, is a business that sells computerized media centers to entertainment and food establishments, and while the franchisee is responsible for making sales, he is completely free to make as many or as few as he wishes. So depending on what the business owner's other responsibilities and sources of income are, he can set his home based business workload to fit around those.

The reasons to start a work at home business are abundant, but what it comes down to for most people is the chance to be free of the 9-5 grind and everything that it entails. Whether your real love is work, play, family, friends, or free time, working from home on your own terms can help you better dedicate yourself to that end without suffering financially. for more tips and free report send mail to coaching4naija@gmail.com

The truth is, you know that many people are earning a reasonable income from the internet and being human, it's only natural that you want a piece of the action.

Before I go further, let me assure all my readers that it is possible to earn a decent income through Internet marketing. But, let me warn you that for a steady income, you need to work.

Money will not come in by itself. Work you must, not harder but smarter.

For a newbie, as all beginners are called by the gurus, if you don't have a good mentor who is more interested in your success and less on your money, you will have a tough time learning the ropes. You will be bombarded with tons of information, some simple and relevant, others vague and mostly irrelevant to your requirements. In your desperation to make money, you will fall for well written sales pitches which promise to help you make money and screen views of five and six figure income statements.

You would have also come across vendors who fail to honour their "rock solid guaranteed refund offer" in spite of repeated reminders. You would have immediately warned your friends about them.

The net result will be that you will end up spending a lot of money buying a lot of courses and programs which looked awesome on the sales letter but not at all workable at your present level of internet marketing or technical knowledge.

This is the stage when you get confused, angry and frustrated. Nothing seems to work. You have made absolutely no progress. You are nowhere closer to where you were in respect of your ultimate objective, which is to make money on the internet.

What has happened so far is that you have decided to make money on the internet. To do that, you needed to learn how to make money as others are doing. So you bought many programs and courses which did not help much. At this point, I would like to mention that not all courses are bad, only that you could not use them at that point in time when your overall knowledge was quite basic.

So in a nutshell, what you need is good focus on what you need to do to start, so that you will be able to proceed according to a plan and not just grope in the dark spending time and money and not reaching anywhere.

To make money on the net, you need to take some important initial steps and you will find them below.

• Decide and stand firm on your goal to make money on the net and continue doing what is necessary to achieve that goal. You must be willing to spend time and effort to learn.

• Fix a deadline (a date) by which you want your business to be up and work steadily towards that date in accordance with your plan.

• Stop buying expensive books and programs indiscriminately, hoping to find the magic formula for making money on the internet. A magic formula or shortcuts do not exist. What brings success is knowledge and a workable plan.

• If you decide to buy, an address or telephone number is a good sign they are genuine. Check them out first. Send them an email before you sign up to see whether you get a satisfactory reply. Avoid the 'Get-Rich-Overnight' schemes. They don't work!

• Understand that a single or multi-page website will help you to make money on the net. So you will need to put up a website shortly. This seemingly is the biggest hurdle faced by all newbies. Don't worry about this as there are good WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) programs with which anyone having basic computer knowledge can build any number of websites.

• Build your website for your visitors' benefit and not just to attract search engines.

• Be optimistic always. Never give up if you encounter temporary setbacks. Remember that it is patience, commitment and perseverance that brings success.

• Set aside an hour or more daily to work on your goal. Organize your work. Write down important information or take a copy for future reference. Do not waste this time reading all the sales pitches that land in your inbox. Delete such emails or remove yourself from those subscriptions till you get past the newbie stage.

• Concentrate on and complete one aspect of your work before proceeding to the next. If you try to work on several at the same time, you will not be able to complete any.

Any newbie who follows the above tips will be able to establish a sound foundation upon which he can build his business. for more tips and free report send mail to coaching4naija@gmail.com

To so many people that question is a fairly tough one as at the moment there are an awful lot of people online who are not making money online. In fact it is true to say that there are a great many who cannot even earn enough to cover their daily bills. Let alone give them a lifestyle that many dream of. So not only is it difficult for them, it makes it extremely difficult for their families as well. Working at the computer for many hours at a stretch is not an easy task especially when there is a whole world outside and it is passing you by.

For those who are thinking that they will never ever make enough money online to even cover their bills let alone leave their day job, (if they have not left it already!), it may seem like a daunting task indeed. Well I for one can testify that it can be a long hard struggle especially if you have to learn everything and do not have the means to either enlist the help of friends or outsource their work. So the question is can you make money online?

Yes you can but it is not easy by any means despite what all the gurus tell you! They will tell you that you can earn instant riches overnight and sometimes that may appear to be possible.
Usually however, it is not possible, to become rich overnight.

Sometimes it can take months or even years and in extreme cases maybe never! As a job it appears to be fantastic when you first start as you are usually all fired up and raring to go and you are enthusiastic with every product or service that comes along and with everything that you do to get started.

Also about 98% of us online usually try to re-invent the wheel or look for something new to do because we get carried away by the sheer volume of information, products and services out there. That is why most of us try to find something new and out of the ordinary and then by doing this you are actually not doing yourself any favors because of the time and energy that you waste by trying to be different or even original!

It took me a very long time to actually learn to go with the flow. In other words when you start you do not need to re-invent wheels, products or services as nearly everything that is required, wanted or needed is out there if we just learn to look for it.

Same question? So can you make money online? Yes you can but you have to do the groundwork and gather information and then you have to act on the information that you have found whilst doing the groundwork. This means that you have to decide what it is you want to do online and then be focused enough to do it.

When you can do that then you need to see what other people are doing and get ideas or learn from what they are doing. Do not copy or rip anything off but see if there is anything out there that you would like to do then see if it can either be improved or enhanced to make it better than what it is at the moment.

This does not matter whether it is a product or a service as this is entirely up to you. Leave re-inventing the wheel until you have made your money and can sit back and relax a bit. Once you have done the groundwork or research as it is commonly called you then need to be aware of what you need to get things started and then you need to be focused enough to make sure that you stay on track. You can ask anyone who is anyone and they will tell you that you must stay focused and work at it.

When you do that you will start to make money, maybe slowly at first but gradually it will come. The thing that you must not do is give up even when all around you people are saying that it cannot be done! Do not give up.

To your success.

Internet is Business. Not many people realize how true these words are. When people think about business, some hardly connect the internet to the concept and disregard the power behind this somewhat uncharted territory of the economic world. Internet is business, as it presents literally hundreds of ways to create income generating opportunities that can be as huge and lasting as the most established business (in the traditional sense of the word).

But the internet is business not only for the big dogs and experts. It is true that these guys are making millions of dollars everyday by taking advantage of their skills and resources, but on the other hand, in order to pay your bills, save some money and live a financially comfortable lifestyle you do not need millions, but maybe a few thousand dollars per month, something perfectly achievable by anybody.

This when the phrase "internet is business" makes sense for virtually anyone, because the internet is such a vast place that no matter how many people jump into the online arena, there is always business to be made online, and if you are not the most proficient internet business developer, the result will be that yes, you will not make millions, only thousands.

Indeed, if you are not as skilled as the big dogs and the internet savvies, fact is that you do not have to worry, because you do not need to perform like them, you just need to reach 0.1% or less of what they achieve, and that my friend will be more than enough to make you wealthy.

He who does not know is like the blind who does not see, so maybe at this point in your life you are too busy with your profession or your day job, and you are not seeing what some of us are. But if you commit yourself today to know how, you will make a true change in your life no matter how difficult you think that might be.

Learn how the phrase internet is business can acquire true meaning for you as you build the foundations for a lasting business with an unlimited potential for growth. for more tips send mail to coaching4naija@gmail.com

Niche marketers are constantly searching for answers, and hunger for the Holy Grail to niche marketing. Perhaps what we frequently may ask is what the real big time gurus are doing to their niche websites that make them so much cash everyday that make all of us drool over. What are their niche marketing secrets?

I guess that there are no real niche marketing secrets. Oops…before you jump at me, let me explain. Basically, there are no secrets, but it is just that niche marketing gurus know and do something which we do not know. What do they do really? Here are some elements that explain their niche marketing success behind all niche websites they build.

1. A Good Grasp of Knowledge

Do not be an information garbage bin. The whole internet is flooded with tons upon tons of free reports, articles, blog posts, forum posts and information is everywhere. But marketers just simply cannot pinpoint what works and which niche can be a good one to create profitable niche websites out of it. Too much unprocessed information is digital trash. You really need to brush aside distractions, sit down, think through and get into some action testing out different niches. Some may work, some may fail miserably. But at the end of the day, you would figure out a system that works well.

2. Huge Resources

Niche Marketing Gurus do not do all the work themselves. In fact, some do not work at all. They have whole teams of writers, graphic designers and so on to toil for them. These guys have mastered the concept of niche marketing and are able to work out a system that keeps repeating the proven steps to create tons of profitable niche websites. And they can do so with huge resources to exponentially shoot up their earnings.

Of course, you may whine that you do not have the money or resources to build an empire of niche websites that pump in cash everyday. Well, at the beginning, you may have to get your hands dirty on every task from learning basic HTML to create a blog, learning how to modify a template, how to submit an RSS feed for more traffic and so on.

But as a learning point here, you must always set aside time to think how you can automate each task so that you can have more time to grow your mini empire of niche websites. This can mean hiring people to help you with the content creation, or even investing in automated blogging software that can do the menial and boring tasks for you. With automated tools, you can automate tasks, and achieve much more within the 24 hours you have everyday. You can use that to build more niche websites, or think of more ways to monetize these niche websites. Think about the possibilities!

Let us paint a picture here. Mr Newbie Niche Marketer finally sorts out his thoughts and starts to build 1 niche website a week. And he is diligent in the creation and updating and does that consistently. At the very best, he can only build 4 niche websites every month. And his income sees a small improvement each month. Maybe each website earns him $50 every month. So his income climbs $200 every month. Not bad!

But compare to the Niche Marketing Guru who contracts a software developer to build him automated blogging software that create niche websites on autopilot. With that, he can build 10 to 20 niche websites within a day. So he adds $15,000 to $30,000 every month to his bottom line.

See the difference in the way niche marketing is done?

This is how these Niche Marketing Gurus are making great income while you still struggle with petty income. What if this kind of powerful software is in your hands? Can you imagine how you could get the cutting edge like the guru? Perhaps, you can even become a Niche Marketing Guru yourself one day. Find out how through my niche marketing blog.

All niche marketing strategies begin with actually finding a suitable niche to begin with. And of course they are everywhere.

You yourself are a member of dozens of niche markets if only you think about it. What hobbies do you do? What do you like to watch on TV, or at the movies? What are your other interests? Would job would you be doing if you weren't a marketer?

How about expanding this to your family and friends. You could soon come up with an enormous list of potential niche markets which may or may not end up being profitable for you.

The best strategy for targeting niche markets is firstly to immerse yourselves in them. Take the time to find out where these people hang out online and what they do. Are there blogs that most people in this niche read? Are there discussion forums where they meet? If so, this is golden. Find out what sorts of questions are being asked repeatedly, which show you potential for selling a product that fills that niche.

Perhaps consider actually contacting the owners of some of the popular blogs and websites in your niche to see if you can speak to them. Find out what questions *they* keep getting asked. Find out about he language they use. Analyze why their particular sites are so popular, as opposed to any other. Is it simply that there is the only website on the topic, so people have no choice?

Lastly, putting together your own website or blog, featuring high quality content that can attract visitors from the search engines tends to work well. In tight niches there are so few competitors that it can be relatively easy to generate top search engine results without really knowing what you're doing.

You can have a good income with niche marketing, but you will have to do a certain amount of work each month to keep the site up to date.

It is interesting that many people try to start their online business by selling products on how to make money online when they are not successful themselves. But there is a lot of money to make online when you start to work in non Internet Marketing niches.

The best way to earn a good income is to have either a website or a blog which you host on your own website. That way you can have total control on what you include.

Once you have decided on your niche, you need to either write your own content or have some written for you. Then you need to have some products to promote.

Now you might think this is harder to do than it actually is. Stop, and think for a moment, if you are careful about your weight, how many diet books you have bought. You might have bought many that you have never read. But anybody with a weight problem will buy every diet book in the hope to find that secret diet tip that will get them slim overnight or in a short time without any work.

When a person is passionate about a subject, they will be ready to buy anything that will further their knowledge in that niche. Time and time again, people are doing this offline, and they will not change their habits because it is now online.

It might take time for them to build up confidence in you and your site, but with good quality information they will soon be aware of how trustworthy you are.

Within your niche you will learn other areas that people want, and will be able to promote those items as well. As you develop your niche site, you will be able to move into more and more products, and you will find that you are able to earn more and more money online.

Once you have a good plan, start created as many niche sites as you can, while maintaining a high quality standard. It's OK to start off small. If you can create one 5-page niche site a week, you will be doing very well.

There is money to be made through niche marketing but like any business online you will need to do some work.

Unlike what many believe, the Internet is not the masses, but an assembly of niches. A small specialized niche is much easier to take your product or service to.

The fact that there are millions of people on the Internet, does not mean that all these people are interested in you, in your company, its products or services. So forget it, this is not true. If that is an incentive to mount an Internet company, it is going down the wrong path. The Internet is ideal for niche marketing i.e., small market segments which you can reach through the Internet.

The second interesting point of this question, again and again: "How to discover a niche market for itself can then design a product to sell?" is, before deciding to start a business on the Internet on the basis of the product, one must start from the basis of the niche market.

When I discovered this potential market niche to which I want to reach me is very easy to develop products or services that are meeting the needs of this group.

Now, how do such research? How do you know what the potential market niche to which I can turn? And the good thing is that the tools are directly on the screen of your computer, and is represented by browsers.

First, if you want to start a project on the Internet, we recommend that you do with a topic related to your passion, so this is going to be a passion and not an obligation or a job that has to do you want to or not. But when you do things with passion, things are totally different.

For example, my specialty, marketing and business. I'm a fan of the Internet, I love information technology, especially when applied to electronic commerce, and I like to educate people. So I chose this niche or that issue, and now I come to decide what is the niche I want to go.

I could devote myself only to large companies or corporations and positioned as such, it would be feasible. I could devote only a small and medium enterprises, or I could devote only to entrepreneurs, or a mixture of one and another. These are different market niches. And depending on the niche market to which I will direct the solutions that I'm going to offer this niche market will be completely different.

If I were to devote only to large enterprises, multinational corporations and large, very sure I would be very different approach that would have if I were only engaged in small and medium enterprises, and would be very different if I'm dedicating the niche market of entrepreneurs who are just trying to see how to get started online.

Once you've done this analysis of the market, and succeeded in determining whether a potential market in which you want to get or do not want to get. And then it begins to design a product or service that will sell. As you have already made the task and has made the investigation and after the market already knows what it is offering and how it is being offered, you can develop your own product, differing from the others, and making a bundle or an offer that is much more attractive for future visitors. so if you really serious about how to start your own internet business and you dont know which niche you will start from just call or email me on 08034826381
