?Taking a Chance ??” Working at Home
November 2, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
While the idea of working at home in the comfort of your pajamas sounds like heaven, be sure and look before you leap. If you have a traditional full-time job and want to transition into a home-based Internet job make sure you do your homework first.
Before making any rash decisions it is better to do a trial run to see how things will go. Try working online a few hours a day after your regular full time job to get your self started.
What are some factors to take into consideration before making the change? Below are just a few:
1. Are you a self-motivator? There will be no one at your house requiring that the work get done. It will be up to you to schedule your time for work each day and not allow other things to distract you or take the place of your work time.
2.It is important to consider other benefits that you will lose when you quit your current job.
There will be no paid time off. If you are sick or are unable to work for a few days for whatever reason you receive nothing. Also health care can be quite a monthly expense and it will be up to you to plan for your future and for your retirement. All of these benefits that come naturally with a conventional job are what you will lack when working from home.
3. There is also the issue of the inconsistency or profits when you are self employed or working from home.
When you are starting your own business at home there are expenses to be calculated. At times your expenses will outweigh your profits. Are you financially prepared to handle those challenging months? Good planning and number crunching will help you decide.
4. Once you have crunched the numbers you have to decide what type of work you want to do.
There are so many options for working from home. There are online options for selling products or services. There is writing, data entry and word processing. You have to determine what you want to do, how lucrative this business will be and how much money it will cost you to get started.
Before getting started, it would be wise to try to save enough money to support you and your family for several months until your new employment is established and you are seeing some profit.
Top Five Reasons Why You Should Not Try Internet Marketing?
September 25, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
I was an “average joe”. I bought into all the hype about Internet Marketing a few months ago and purchased some of the eBooks you’ve seen advertised to learn more about the subject. You don’t have to do this. You can buy any number of them, I’ve found, they all basically say the same things.If you follow the steps in them and are persistent to become a Pro, I believe you will.
I have been doing marketing for several months now and with persistence, I will quit my job in a few more months and do this full time.
This brings us to “Top 5 Reasons You Should Not Try Internet Marketing”.
1. You are already wealthy
If you are reading this you are probably not wealthy. I have personally bought several marketing eBooks to compare and each one had valuable information that really works.
I’m not saying there are not scams out their but my experience has shown, you can make big money by implementing what you learn and be persistent.
2. You’re a tight wad and won’t spend less than $25
Take it from an “average joe turned PRO”, you can surely do without 1 Mountain Dew for a few days to get started.
3. You have no ambition at all
Internet Marketing is a job. It takes work, but it does pay well.
One thing I don’t believe is you’re going to make millions by working very little.
Treat Internet Marketing as a business and you will succeed.
4. You’re scared to try something new, like web sites
When I started in the business I had no idea how to build a website.
I bought an awesome program and read the manual. Today, plus working a full time job, I crank out a website a week.
Now, you can build a site online for free, find free hosts, and pay $6-$8 for a domain name.
It’s very easy and it doesn’t cost too much.
5. You want to stay an “average joe”
I don’t know why. Do you believe money is not everything?
I don’t believe money is everything but it sure helps.
