When you consider starting a home business it helps to plan before investing any time and money into the project. Brainstorming home business opportunities before setting up one will help ensure the business is one that you are capable of operating. Your success depends on many things, one of which is the dedication you will need in order to make the business work as well as having a viable market for the product or service you will offer.

When brainstorming, remember that there is more involved in operating a successful home business than the startup cost and how much time you can free up from working. Brainstorming should include thinking through all of the possibilities for a business and projected income and expenditures. Then deal with each of these items separately. For example, take into consideration the availability of a market for your proposed home business. If you have been working with a carpet cleaning company for several years and you want to start your own rug cleaning business, you should determine how much competition you will have as opposed to how many customers are available in a particular area who may require your service, and consider the timeliness of delivery.

Consider the investment required to start your home business as well as the amount of income you’ll need to support yourself and to cover all personal expenses until the business gets off the ground and starts to generate income. Brainstorm about who and where the first customers will come from. Simply planning advertising and direct mail campaigns may not provide the information you need, rather personal contact with businesses and friends and family may offer a better picture of who will need your services and when you can expect to deliver and get your firsts paying customers.

You can consider how your home business might provide jobs and how this could lead to testimonials for potential customers to show that the business is legitimate. You should also consider who would handle the paperwork such as invoicing and bill paying and taxes for state and federal obligations. These things are often overlooked by those new to business, and they accept payments and use the money for their immediate personal needs, and when the time comes to pay bills, the money is no longer available.

You must consider the effect of a home business on you personally as well as other family members, as when you begin working your home based business, any decision made will affect more than just you.

Creating A Business Budget

Before starting a home business you must focus on startup costs and how much money you will need annually to keep operating. Having a budget that you adhere to is a way of keeping track of your income and expenditures and your business success.

The first thing you need to do is have money set aside for startup costs. No matter how great your budget, you’re going to need extra money upfront in order not to spend more money during the first year of operating your home business than you really want to. So you must have money saved or you can take out a small business loan that you can pay back as soon as you have started to make money, or you may have some other funding source you can use.

When creating your budget you must allow for product expenditures, materials and salaries if you have employees, including yourself. The amount must be reasonable. For example, don’t set your salary at a level that you can’t live on, because then the home business idea just isn’t going to be feasible.

Now, you must determine how much money you need to make in order to meet these costs, so that you can set a reasonable price per unit or service and decide on the number of products or services you plan to offer each year.

Once you have the dollar amounts set up for your yearly budget, you have to decide how you want to proceed. Will you sell products all year long or have seasonal offerings or both? For seasonal products you must plan to have them available at least three to four months ahead of time in order to ensure that you have customers. Then you can adjust your budget accordingly.

There are lots of things that you must consider when you’re starting a home business, and one of the most important is how to best build an online presence for your business. No matter what the nature of your business, it is important to be on the Internet so that people can find you.

Even if you have a local home business, you need to have a website. The fact is that no matter what you are doing, most of your prospects and customers will want some information about you. All around the globe people have started using nontraditional hours of operation. If you have a product or a service and you want to be competitive in the world market, you have to be available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and the only way that you can do this successfully is with an online presence.

So, you need a website, and it should be organized, interesting and easy to navigate. It has to catch the attention of your prospects, so it should be something that you yourself find interesting, and it should be pleasing enough to draw people in to have a look around so that they stay longer and can find what interests them at your business site. If this is not the case, they will simply click away and visit another company’s site. After you have a website for your home business, you need an email address for prospects to be able to contact you.

When these things are taken care of, you must work on getting your site recognized so that you can begin making some money from your home-based business. Now, this will require some time, research and effort on your part and some money for advertising space online so that your site will be noticed and you are able to get people to purchase your products and services.

Most people who have a home business are working for themselves because they probably love what they do, they have a passion for it, it allows them to be at home, they can take the time off that they need to and they are in charge of their lives. However, there might come a time that no matter how you feel about the reasons you are working from home, you might become very frustrated and want to quit your home business.

Perhaps you aren’t doing as well as you’d like, and maybe you can’t see how you can do any better. You may be bored or burnt out or you might be thinking that it would be much easier to just go back to that 8-5 job. But, logically, you probably realize that if you can stick it out you’ll find yourself in a much better position than you have ever been, and you’ll be able to make the money you need. So, how do you stick it out? Where do you get the strength to keep going, even if you want to quit?

For some people just staying focused on their goals and the future they’ve pictured for themselves is enough to keep them working on their business. Others may need to figure out a way to get some help to keep them going. If you’re budget will allow it, this might be the time to hire someone to take care of the day-to-day smaller tasks of your business; the things you may feel are having a negative effect on you. If you can’t afford to hire someone, you may want to ask your spouse or your children if they would be willing to help out from time to time. Often just talking to someone about your day-to-day activities will help you through some of the tough times.

Another thing that you can do to help yourself, if you feel like quitting, is to reorganize or re-prioritze your life and your business tasks to give some impetus and a feeling of newness. This can relieve a lot of stress, and if you go through each aspect of your home business and reorganize it, you might find that there are actually some better ways to run the business, and to make more money.

These are a few tips that you may want to try before you decide definitely to quit your home business. Often, if there’s a way to get through the tough times, you’ll find that you are much better off with your home business than working an 8-5, and that you can do much better on your own.

The Freedom To Run Your Home Business
Copyright © Rahimah Sultan

In order to have the freedom to run your home business, you will probably have to make some changes in your thinking. One of the common misconceptions is that by being in business for yourself and working at home you’ll have all the free time you ever wanted. You may be in for a shock when you find out the amount of time you’ll spend working. Although you can adjust work schedules around other obligations, the total number of hours spent on the job will likely be much higher than at an 8-5 job.

It is common for anyone working at home to be distracted by family members or others who drop in for coffee or to ask for help, until they get used to the idea that although you are home, you’re working. Now, the hardest person to convince of your need to work while at home is you.

It is typical for a person working from home to take a few minutes here and there to wash a load of laundry or clean up the dishes that may be left from the night before, but you must use discipline in order to complete all the daily tasks you will have scheduled. It’s really easy to lose track of time and find yourself working late into the evening in order to catch up on your business tasks.

One thing you might not want to do is climb out of bed, grab your morning coffee or other beverage of choice and head to your home business office wearing your pajamas. While this may seem like a great idea, it is not conducive to the professional office atmosphere you need to create to establish the discipline of working at home. If you have spent any time working for someone else, you understand the ramifications of being late for work and not getting things finished before quitting time. You need to establish this same standard when operating your own home business. Once things get rolling, you may be able to slack up a bit as you get used to a routine and are able to complete things quickly or are able to hire some help.

If you worked outside your home, people would have to wait until you had time for their interruptions. The same respect needs to be shown to you while you are at work in your home business. If your home office has a door, shut it while you are working to let others know not to disturb you. Perhaps you could use a sign that indicates you are working, if there is no door that you can close.

Your schedule is your own, and if you are willing to work late while others are in bed, that’s okay, as the most important part of having the freedom to run a home business is to establish a regular work schedule and stick to it and inform others of your work hours.

Dare To Dream: A Home Business Idea

Have you always dreamed of a better life for yourself and obtaining it through a home business where you are in control as opposed to working for and reporting to someone else? A dream of having or doing something is a beginning, but in order to make that dream a reality you must take action. Some of the most successful business people started out with only a dream, and with determination and persistence they were able to obtain all their desires.

Taking action simply requires setting goals, writing them down and following through on them. Setting goals is the first step toward making your dream a reality. Determine what you want to achieve and set a time line for doing so. Also set short-term realistic goals that you can reach, and that will keep you working toward your long-term goal, because you will be able to measure your progress. We all need small victories every now and then to help us get through some of the most difficult aspects of starting a home business. Be honest with yourself when setting these goals so that you know what will be required at every step.

Once you’ve established your goals, you should formulate strategies to achieve them. For example, if you want to operate a computer programming business, you should set a timeline and a quota for the number of clients you want. For the first few months, you might set a low quota for income and the clients that you serve. Don’t expect a lot regarding your home business during the early stages, as it takes time to build it correctly for long-term success. So allow yourself some time and some breathing space.

There will be times when you feel that you’re not getting anywhere with your home business. Just don’t give up. Stay the course and you will be successful. If you dare to dream a wonderful future for yourself, and you take right action, and your heart is really in it, you will achieve your long-term goal.

Home Business Advertising Concepts

Advertising is probably the single most important aspect of any business, but this is particularly true for a home business, because otherwise there is no way for anyone to know your business exists. It's important to know how to use advertising to your advantage, and how to use it in a way that will be the most beneficial for your business. It doesn't matter if your business is online or a hair salon, child care center, remodeling business or any other business that doesn't require you to have an office away from home.

For successful business, don't take short cuts with advertising costs. Many people, especially when it concerns an online business, try to get by with free advertising sites, and though this may save you money in the beginning, it will cost you in the end. After all, we know that you get what you pay for; so free ads are not likely to produce the same results as a paid advertisement. In the case of online ads, the paid ads get a better spot in the advertising system, because of the designs such as bolding, coloring and other tactics that makes them stand out from other ads. This is also the case with newspaper advertising, where you get a different type of ad for a higher price, and the key is to draw attention to your advertisement so that people will want to read it.

Depending upon the nature of your business, you may find that certain types of advertising models work better than others. For instance, if your home business is based in your local area, you may find that local media advertisements work best. This advertising scheme may include radio and television ads as well as flyers, newsletters, direct mailing and even personal contact with those who might benefit from your expertise. On the other hand, if you have an online business, you may have more success with email advertisements such as opt-in lists or even a signature line in every email you send out, notification to those you know will be interested, classified advertisements and other types of online advertising. Advertising is also likely to be one of your most important expenses.

If you have a website, you have the best advertising tool that the Internet has to offer. The right website gives you the highest rankings with the search engines, and thus exposure to the greatest number of people. The more people who visit your site, the better the chances of someone being interested in the goods or services you have to offer. You may only have one chance to make it work, so give it your best shot.

Avoiding Home Business Scams
Copyright © Rahimah Sultan

http://www.payitforward4profits.com/rahimah

People fall for home business scams all the time and millions of dollars are lost. Many of these scams are aimed at stay-at-home parents, unemployed individuals, the elderly, disabled and those with low incomes.

The first hint of a scam is the fact that the offer seems too good to be true. If a work-at-home opportunity offers claims of a lot of money within a very short period of time, it is likely to be a scam and should be avoided at all costs.

Another clear indicator that you are dealing with a con artist is being asked for money up front. While you do need to invest some money up front for a home business, legitimate companies will never ask you to pay them just to hire you. If you are required to pay an upfront fee, it is best to use a credit card and not cash, since with a credit card you have a better chance of getting your money back should the opportunity be fraudulent.

Beware of business opportunities that give you a 1-900 number to call for additional information, as you will be billed a hefty charge for making the call, and part of the cost to you goes to the person running the scam. Other common home based business scams that you should avoid include envelope stuffing, product and craft assembly, pyramid schemes (offers for you to sign up people but no products are involved), medical billing, type-at-home and unsolicited emails or Internet schemes.

Don’t be pressured into responding immediately to any offer. Take your time to research the company before making a final decision to join. Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any claims have been filed against the company. If the company has no telephone number or uses only a post office box, you should be wary. And, before signing with a company ask for a detailed refund policy in writing.

If you end up being the victim of a scam, try to contact that business first and ask for a refund. If this doesn’t work then you should let that company that you will be contacting law enforcement officials. Then proceed to contact one or more of the following: The Federal Trade Commission, the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General in your state or the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

Home Business Ideas For Teens

As a teenager who has yet to finish school, you have limited options for earning income. You can’t walk into a bank and ask for a loan, and your parents aren’t always forthcoming with cash. And we all know that nothing is free. Books, movies, any form of music and dates cost money. Following are some ways to make money that will probably meet the approval of your parents. After all, if there are things of value that you really want, then you should be willing to work for them, which will make you more appreciative.

Babysitting is probably one of the most basic home business ideas for teens, but is also one of the most successful. If you’re a reasonably responsible individual, and have had some experience with children, then babysitting might be for you. If you have siblings, then you’ll have an idea of how children behave and what works with them.

It shouldn’t be difficult to find people who need a babysitter. Ask around and let your neighbors know that you’re available for babysitting services should they need it. If you follow instructions carefully, and parents often leave quite a few, you should have no trouble managing a babysitting home business.

If you like pets, another basic home business idea for teens is pet care taking, pet sitting or feeding and walking dogs. As with babysitting, you probably will have to follow some specific instructions, and it shouldn’t be a problem for you.

If you’re in reasonably good shape, taking on some menial jobs can be an option. Mowing lawns and doing garden work are good choices. If you haven’t done this type of job before, it will take a little getting use to, which will happen fairly quickly. Most can easily do these types of odd jobs so don’t let inexperience stop you. As with babysitting, you might want to ask your neighbors first before branching out.

As long as you are willing to work, you can probably come up with a home business idea that can help you earn some extra cash.

With the growth of Internet commerce, working at home has become extremely popular, as many have found they have the time and energy to work around family schedules. However, for a person just thinking about starting a home business, it might be wise to read about the experiences of others before making the decision to put an office in your home.

You must have self-discipline to operate a home business, and while you may have all the experience needed to do the job you wish to start at home, you may lack some other valuable information that could aid you in becoming a successful home business owner.

When you work for someone else, there are people that take care of most aspects of the business. There is accounting to handle bills and income and someone to oversee ordering of supplies and an advertising department. And while you may not need to be an expert in all these areas, reading a few informative books on home businesses can help you understand what you need to do to be successful.

There are any number of books on home businesses that can help you get started and help you through the process of setting up your home office as well as showing how to deal with people who do not understand what you do for a living.

The first kind of book you should look for is one that helps you decide if a home business is right for you. Some people will not be unable to operate a home business, especially those who require someone to remind them of deadlines and those who are happier with duties being delegated that they are then allowed to complete.

Before you go online to buy books on home businesses, visit your local library or bookstore for information. Many of the offerings online are e-books written by people whose only experience in a home business is writing a book on it and selling it online. So, look for books by true entrepreneurs who have built successful home businesses.

You can check out those people who started small stores and grew them into major chains to get business development knowledge and gain public relations skills. Although the markets they catered to may be different than what you wish to pursue, their books on home businesses can be adapted to fit most any business model, and they can show you some of the obstacles you will likely run into as well as offer tips on overcoming them.

Single And Running A Business

Many young people are leaving college with the intention of running their own business, and many times they don't have a clear understanding of what they’ll be undertaking. For singles running a business, especially a brick and mortar business, the decision should be made after a great deal of thought. After all, when you start your own business, you will have to put in many long hours while you are building your business for profitability.

The single person, especially one who’s very young, does not necessarily understand the kind of commitment and sacrifice required to take such a large step to be free from working for someone else. Building a business is not a 9-5, Monday through Friday endeavor, and if you love to socialize that life style will become somewhat limited. Of course, different types of business ventures have different requirements, but no matter what kind of business you operate, it will be important for you to always be available in case of an emergency, and this tends to restrict your leisure time. Even if you have a small retail business with employees to take care of the customers, you still have to be there to oversee things and keep it running smoothly.

Operating a business, especially a home business, is appealing to single mothers who view having their own business as a way to set their own hours around family responsibilities or as a way to save on day care expenses. Unfortunately, this is a misconception, unless you’re going to be working an Internet business, and your children are school age and will be home only a few hours during the day. You must be willing to make a commitment to your business, and that means operating it the way you would if you were working for an employer.

As your business grows, whether it’s a brick and mortar one or a home business, and you have enough management staff with the expertise to handle things on their own, you’ll have more free time. It's important to remember, however, that this process may take several years to accomplish. So if you have an active social lifestyle, you need to keep in mind that you’ll have to make a temporary sacrifice for the sake of your business and your long-term goals.

You may have a number of reasons for creating a home business, but you must be able to make it work. So, you must treat your business totally as a business. Don’t use it as a means of spending more time on leisure activities. There may be some types of homes businesses that do not require your presence during certain times, so you may be able to fill those hours with other activities. However, if you get into the habit of doing other things during the day, you will find that your business takes all of your evening hours and you have less time with your family.

If your business is going to provide replacement income from a full-time job, you have to be willing to make some commitments and sacrifices. Once you have your business up and running, you may have some extra time that you can devote to doing other things that you like. But, while you’re building your business, you need to be available and committed to making your home business work, and that means making it your top priority during certain hours. Even if you are a freelance medical or court transcriber, you have to be available during the hours when your clients may require your services, as do writers and editors.

Having a home-based business does not necessarily mean that you have total daily control over your life. It simply means that you don’t punch a time clock or report to someone else, and you have the choice of wardrobe. But you can’t put a client's work on hold to go to lunch with your best friend or to take your children to the park or to do housekeeping duties.

Not everyone has the temperament to operate a home-based business. Some people do not have time management skills to organize their day for this kind of a venture. They need be told what to do and when to do it and they need a regular 9-5 work environment. If you are one of these people, then a home business is not for you, as you will be on your own and you must be organized and able to see projects through to completion.

The Right Time To Start A Home Business

A huge mistake that many people make, with no preparation, is quitting their boring job to start a home business. To avoid failure, even if you have recently been laid off and are collecting unemployment or severance pay, take the time to research the opportunities that are available and relate those opportunities to the skills and education level that you have before making a choice on a home business.

You might think that anytime is good to start a home business, but that may not be the case. If the market is saturated with the type of business that interests you, you may need to take some extra time in order to build your client base or to develop more knowledge of the business in order to give yourself an edge over others who offer the same thing. For example, if you are an accountant and the market is saturated with general accountants, you might want to take some time to get some specialized training in tax accounting, financial accounting or managerial accounting.

The time of year can also have an effect on the success of your new home business. If your business involves crafts, it might be better to begin operating during a time when the market for your type of product is booming. You would not want to start a product-run business right after Christmas when everyone is still paying off that holiday debt and wondering if they’re going to have to pay taxes. And, don't try to sell spring items when spring has almost arrived because retail stores start selling their items in February. If you start in March or April, people will probably have already purchased what they want for the year. You have to be aware of trends in order to know when to open for business and you must know the seasonal ebb and flow in order to adjust your expenditures.

One of the major drawbacks to the success of a business, even if the season is right, is the state of the economy. No matter what business you have or how much knowledge, if the economy is depressed, your business may be at risk.

Residual Income From A Home Business

There are several options you may want to consider if you're looking for the type of business that offers ongoing income. Though most people think of network or multi-level marketing when the term residual income is mentioned, there are other types of home businesses that can offer ongoing income. Although not categorized in the truest sense of residual income, any sales-oriented business that doesn't require in-person contact can be a source of residual income. For instance, if you have a website you’re your home business where customers can purchase products that they need, you have a limited form of residual income, because the money will continue to come in as long as the website is up and running and the products are available for purchase. On the other end of the spectrum is true residual income that continues even when you’re no longer around to monitor it.

The most common type of home business that offers residual income is that of network or multi-level marketing in the health and wellness industry as well as some others. This type of business involves recruiting and training other people to join a sales distribution network that operates under a sponsor. Since the sponsor is paid a portion of what each person in his or her organization sells, once the network is running at peak efficiency, it will provide an ongoing income to each person as it escalates to the top person in that organization. You get the most income from those you personally sponsor, and you are also paid from the other branches of the organization.

Although network marketing offers the truest form of residual income, investments such as real estate and high-level stocks, bonds and mutual funds also fall into the same category.

In real estate, it's much easier to view it as a residual income source, because as long as there is a need for housing you’ll have the ability to receive income from rental property. If you have enough income that you can hire someone to manage the properties you own, you can then relax and let the properties make money for you just as you do in network marketing.

The securities market will vary, but real estate generally doesn't decrease in value. Unless the housing market becomes very depressed, as it was in the late 1970s and middle 1980s when mortgage interest rates were hovering close to 25%, the price is not likely to decline. Once you have your properties and you keep them well maintained, you’ll have an income source, which can go to your family, if you’ve taken the proper measures. Other investments can be set up for your family in the same manner, but real estate is by far the least volatile.

Employing Your Children In Your Home Business

You may want to employ your children in your home business, because it’s summer, they have a break from school, you want to keep them busy and out of trouble or you may just want them to be interested in your business. No matter what the reason, there are some things you should take into consideration.

You might feel badly if your children show no interest in your home business, and you might be tempted to force them to work for you, hoping they will gain some interest. This rarely works, because forcing them to work in your home business will probably backfire, leaving them even less interested.

On the other hand, if your children have shown an interest, asking them to work for you when they have free time might be a great way to teach them responsibility. You can teach them about the importance of money by giving them a paycheck, which they can use for savings or purchases they wish to make. This should, of course, be dependant on the amount of time they put in at your home business, and how well they perform the tasks given them.

You should never give them anything to do that would be detrimental to you or the business if it’s not done correctly. Remember that no matter how responsible your children appear to be, after all they are still children and things are going to happen that you might not have any control over. Give them small tasks such as filing or stocking supplies, and give them tasks that you can either do yourself very easily, or that won’t matter much if they don’t get done. Just don’t let the children know this, because making them feel important is a part of teaching them self reliance and responsibility. You want to be sure that they think they are a very integral part of the business, while not creating any undue stress for yourself.

Control Home Business Start Up Costs

Many home based businesses require a lot of equipment that would normally be found in a corporate office. When you are just starting your home based business, equipment cost can present credit issues, but there are some ways you can control startup costs for purchases.

The first thing you must do is decide which equipment and supplies are absolutely necessary to your business operation. While there are certain supplies and equipment that could make for a smoother running business, you must make the decision regarding what is really necessary to operate effectively.

A garage sale or an auction can be an excellent place to find bargains on equipment for your home office while saving the cost of new purchases from an office supply store. Then, later consider trading in your garage purchases toward newer office furniture. An option you should look into is purchasing slightly older equipment at garage sales and then using them as trade-ins on newer equipment. You can often get quite a bit off the purchase price of a new piece of equipment if you know what to look for at sales.

You can also save money by getting rid of what you don’t need and recycling what you have. If you find you haven’t used a piece of equipment or some supplies for awhile then consider either throwing them out or selling. You will not only be freeing up space by not storing old equipment in your home office and cluttering it, but you will make some money in the process. The same goes for filing cabinets. If you think you need a second one because you have run out of room, clean out your first filing cabinet. You will often be surprised at how much room you really have when you discard the files you no longer need. If you have important papers that you must keep, that are taking up space in your filing cabinet, consider storing them someplace safe such as a bank safe deposit box to make more room in your home business office files. Avoid spending money on new furniture that you absolutely don’t need.
