What Makes Up The Best Online Home Based Business

By Jeff SchumanWhat does it take to be called the best online home based business? You can break this down into 2 areas. First off all this has to be a business that you operate on the internet. Secondly home based means just that. You will operate this business out of your home. But home based also means that you may go outside of your home for various parts of your day to day business. The internet has really made it possible for anyone to operate a business from the comfort of their own home. Really you can operate an online business anywhere you have internet access. If you are travelling to Mexico you are still in business because the internet does not stop even when you do. Plus as long as you have access to the internet you can still work your business. My wife an I do this all of the time. It's a neat feature. A few key things that will help make your online business the best to operate from home. 1. You want to be able to get started without spending a lot of money. YOu will need to invest a little to get started for web site hosting, an email automatic responder, but you can generally start and operate the best online home based business for less than $100 as month. 2. Choose a business with products that can be sold anywhere in the world. This gives you an excellent chance for success because you are not limited to one area where you live. For this reason internet information type of products work well because you provide instant access to your customer with no shipping costs. 3. Look for products that are in demand. You do not want to have to create a market for your products, but rather you will want to concentrate on advertising and marketing your products to customers that already have a need and interest in what you are selling. 4. The less competition the better. For that reason there is so much emphasis these days on niche marketing. If you can start your online home business with a product or service that does not have a lot of competition in a market there is a need for your chances for succeeding go up. 5. Personally I want the best online home based business to give me everything I need to get started right away. A business in a box is perfect because I do not have the technical ability to put together a complete money making system from scratch. If you can't build a web site or progam an email campaign then you are going to be looking for the same thing as me. Give us a program with good products, a website, a follow-up email campaign, and training on how to market online. With all of this an internet business operated from home stands a much better chance of succeeding. When I started making money online from my home I hooked up with the Plugin Profit Site. It gave me everything I needed to get started in 3 easy steps for less than $100. It is a decision I have never regretted for many reasons. I encourage to check it out and join me in what I feel is the best online home based business available today.

The Real Truth about - "How to Make Money on the Internet."

By Michael A Fowler, M.B.A.You know... for a few years even I doubted that network marketing was a real business... Sure, I read about how to make money at home and how easy it was to make money online. Burning the candle at both ends... listening to seminars that told me all about residual income, how to achieve the status of “network marketing professional”, reading e-books that told me how great life is at the top... But – Hey... Hold On! How do you get there? I’ve joined a business but my upline doesn’t respond to my questions... the company are ‘brain dead’ and I don’t know what I am doing exactly... Is that how people make money on the Internet? Is that any way to start off in network marketing? Will that keep me in the business? It certainly did not. Then along came another business and a support team that I never even contemplated could exist anywhere on the Internet. That was many years ago... If I ever had any advice to pass on to people who are considering network marketing as a profession, then it would be to take a good look at what support is available, before even thinking about making money online. Next, have a look at how the company is structured. Don’t ever sign up for anything until you have checked it out very thoroughly. How ‘open to scrutiny’ is the business you are considering? If there are any conditions before you have a look, run for cover and take your money with you! Now... back to the subject. Is the ability to make money online for real? Yes, it is. I would ask anyone to dispute that fact. So many are disgruntled by their failure in network marketing but how many actually stood the test of time and worked at it as hard as they would with a boss standing over them? How many worked the same hours as they would in a job? I can honestly tell you that not many do the above and most have higher “Online” expectations than the network marketing company can deliver, or the average person can hope to accomplish. Building a downline is not easy but can be achieved with the right people duplicating your process and getting the right online support. Network Marketing is the only way to produce a lasting residual income. To make money at home, without having to find the funds that would normally be required to pay you a similar amount each month from a large investment. Why do people give up this ‘retirement plan’ so easily? Why do people work 40 plus hours a week just to pay the bills and yet do nothing to make money on the Internet and build a residual income for themselves? Why is a process that takes 40 years to accomplish considered a ‘better alternative’ than a network marketing plan that can accomplish this task within 4-5 years, with a similar amount of work? Yes, there are ‘scoundrel companies’ out there. That is why ‘due diligence’ is so important. How many people actually do any? Then they wonder why they are failing at it... Would you buy something from someone that you couldn’t see, couldn’t talk to and had no visible representation, no credibility and no experience in what they were doing or trying to sell you? No, you wouldn’t, yet it happens on the Internet every day! Yes, network marketing is a real business and you can make money on the Internet. It produces real full-time residual incomes for thousands of people worldwide but you must choose the right business with the right people and take the time to build your dream of Financial Freedom. Every time you think of quitting, stop and look at the alternatives... All people see, is what it is costing them. Does that ever amount into what you would pay for a franchise or alternative business? No, it does not. Whatever you may think of network marketing, it is still the only way that the ‘small guy’ can achieve financial freedom and success. Millions of people are making their money from home. Do they need expensive premises and huge overheads? No, they make money online, on the Internet, working at home.

Do You Want To Sell More? Then Stop Trying To Be Everything To Everybody!

By Eric GrahamI know you've heard this a thousand times, but from the looks of things few businesses are following the advice… Far too many businesses (online or offline) define their target market as “anyone with a pulse and a wallet.” (Not always in that order.) You read their sales copy and it's the same old, walking on eggshells “corporate speak”, devoid of personality, writing to a group style, as everyone else in their industry. Sure. They're not going to eliminate any “potential buyers”… But there're not going to stand out from the crowd and get their message noticed either! You need to define your target customer as specifically as possible. You should describe your customer in exacting detail. Not as a group, but as an individual. Get a laser focused, clear and precise image in your mind of one specific person. Know that persons sex, age, marital status, wants, needs, educational background, psychographics, demographics, geographics, technographics (level of technological sophistication), understand their psychological motivations, hopes, fears… Everything! And then (and only then) write your copy directly to that person. Craft your message to your target customer in a one-on-one, person to person style, keeping this focused image of who you are talking to clear in your mind. So… You've clearly defined your target customer. Great. Now you're ahead of 95% of the business in your market. Do you want to know how to jump ahead of the other 5%? (This next tip is something that very few top marketers talk about… But it just may be one of the most important activities you ever do for your business.) Clearly define who your customer IS NOT! Spell it out… Write it down… Let the world know, exactly who you REFUSE to do business with. Eliminate the freebie seekers, bargain hunters, complainers, whiners, price shoppers, deadbeats and time leaches (Michel Fortin calls them “Vampires”… I love that…) The first step in face to face selling is to qualify the prospect. So I've never understood why so many businesses are afraid to do the same thing when selling in print or on the computer screen. Cowards! Guess what? An amazing thing happens when you “take something away”. By stating (unapologetically) in your copy that “This offer IS NOT for everybody…”, “…only a select, elite few will qualify…”, “…unless you meet the following qualifications, you can't beg us to let you buy this…”, something magical takes place in the sales process. The dynamic changes, from YOU trying to convince the PROSPECT that they need your product… to the PROSPECT trying to convince YOU that they are qualified to buy what you are offering. So, stop worrying about eliminating part of your potential market by only focusing on your “ideal customer”, the ones you eliminate wouldn't have bought from you anyway. And by adding a bit of “posture” to your copy, your conversion rates with your REAL market will skyrocket. Just remember this… If you try to be “everything to everybody”, you will end up being “nothing to nobody”.

It is the reality of relationship that makes life and the WIN important.
Prologue
Wizards, Myths, fables, and Other Misnomers in Business
Why this book was written in the manner that it was. I combined the fables that my mother had read me as a child with the business savvy of my father. The wish was that that combination and small samplings of tales has the reader looking at life more than rose colored glasses in order to slay the dragons in any market.
Secret One;
Always follow the Dream
The biblical story of Joseph and the techni color dream color. The liberation of Joseph’s talent as a dreamier made all the difference to his family and to his nation. Without following the obstacles around the drams and over the hardships, through the rejection to final fruition of the vision, no glory is found.
Secret Two
You are Perfect… the Fable of the Tortoise and the Eagle
One of the greatest lessons and gifts of life is the present, which you are. Victory shows up in making the choices at the levels of performance in what we do our best selves, and by our true unique nature. Contributing to excellence in every interaction captures the magic of our very existence.
Secret Three
Passion is not a Four Letter word, Fear is
Complacency is a deeper rut than a tomb. This fun chapter discusses the blessings of stepping from fear to passion in the parable of the fable of the crow and the two seeds. In seeking challenges growth appears and fears disappears.
Secret Four
Time is of the Essence
The fable of the white rabbit discusses the value of time management. What is important now is just part of the equation, what is important in the future must also be considered. Point zero in business is where most business operate. How do we get past point zero in time, money, and effort to get into profit?
Reverse timelines, the calendar, and the Swiss cheese approach to life in order to put order into chaos of your personal, professional life. There is not point to carve out a living when you forget to carve out a life.
Secret Five
The Pain brings Gain Myth
Inspiration vs. Perspiration
Belling the cat is a hilarious tale from Aesop. The myth is that it takes pain to bring gain. Problems are never sent to give us perspiration, they are sent to give us inspiration. When inspired enough you will step out of your comfort zones to accomplish the vision and conquer the obstacles.
Secret Six
The Butterfly Theory, Making the Market work for you!
We all know and understand that the butterfly theory of chaos a butterfly’s wings fluttered in Rome cause an earthquake in Singapore. Therefore, it is with marketing. Once you have discovered the market and the possibilities of that market, each type of marketing feeds off the other or builds on the other as a another dimension of media . The secrets to marketing is exchange what can you exchange? You r know ledge and skill for another person’s knowledge and skill. Get rich in your niche and growing your business means growing your self?
Secret Seven
Walking the Financial Tightrope or Surfing the Net works
This chapter discusses the markets where you gain financial success. Newton’s law of gravity works in business as well as in physics… an object in motion stays in motion, and object at rest stays at rest. The object in motion should be you. The miracle of the internet quantifies this amount, an easy way to sell to millions.
Secret Eight
Promotion is Communication, or the Fable of the Goat and the Fox
The simple fable of using dramatic means to self-promotion to broadcast your business. The magic of the mix is the combination of broadcast. The bolder the more dramatic, the promotion the broader you market becomes. All electromagnetic frequencies alter matter, voice alters matter.
Secret Nine
Dialing for Dollars
Calling past clients, clients, geographic databases to ask for repeat and referral business, if you have served your clients well, you will serve them again and again. Matching and mirroring the clients gives maximum results. Continue to raise yourself and others to the standards of excellence that you envision.

Lazarus theory or the Dead Client Walking: Know the difference
How to spot a dead client a mile away, and bow to handle the objections to make this client work for you and with you by setting your boundaries. The good angler can catch and release.
Secret Eleven
The Tale of St. George and the Dragon… or Dealing with the Dragon Client
Beware of the smoke screens, and much noise. A control freak at best that wastes your time and money in trying to please him/her. When the dragon client arrives, leave the crusade for change behind you and let him terrorize someone else. If you need the lesson, understand that this person is your greatest teacher.
Secret Twelve
Loyalty for Life or You don’t want the Business
The Tale of the Ugly Wife
Camelot found. When you discover that the mystery of the ugly wife holds for you all the wealth in the world will be yours. This very old tale discusses the marriage of Sir Gawain, royal knight of the Round Table a good and worthy servant of King Arthur to a HAG. In discovering her internal beauty and the lessons that she had for him, she became the most beautiful woman in the world. Discovering what the bride/client really wants, gives you riches beyond your imagination.
Secret Thirteen
The Fool Who is Silent Passes for Wise
The lesson of Silence is found in the story of Narcissus. When the Echo or Salesman repeats the needs of the client over and over, the client falls in love with him/her. Narcissus fell in love with the silent pool because the mirror in the pond was he. As we learn to be a reflection of what the client needs, business becomes endless. We look wise when we are silent rather than boastful.
Secret Fourteen
Practice, Practice, Practice
When we choose to change our definition of gratifying relationships to be long, lasting and mutual, not short term and empty, our businesses go up exponentially.
Secret Fifteen
Profitability to Die For or the Tale of Achilles
The riddle of Achilles hold the answers to real profit in business. When business crates energy with a four to one profitability of expenses to income. If the expense does not produce a profit in 45:1 return, you may be overlooking cast amounts of profit and where to earn these profits. Prune the roses for extra profit, cut off the dead wood, in your business for more profit.
Secret Sixteen
The Midas touch
Not all that glitters is gold. Midas pursuit of business was running him, because he abandoned all else for the pursuit of gold. Sometimes a profitable business is running you, rather than you running it, and the quality of your life disappears into it, heart disease, stroke and other disease are crated from this lust for gold.
Secret Seventeen
Be Proud of Who you are, or the Fable of the Millar, his Ass, and His Son
Probably one of the most humorous stories in this book is the fable of the miller, his son and the ass. Trying to please every one else, and not yourself is the key to failure. Being outstanding does not just take skill, it takes heart. In the willingness to contribute, to make a difference to society, to commit all to excellence, there creates a magical path to success. This path takes us beyond the Township of the Ordinary into the Country of Our Highest Purpose. There miracles and our destiny are found.
Secret Eighteen
Negotiation... Thor the Sledge Hammer, or the Count of Monte Christi Chisel
The tools that are required for excellence are always fine-tuned. They require a command of the facts, a list of the technical details, and finally the trust of the two parties to create a win/win situation in every circumstance.
Secret Nineteen
The Secret of Pandora’s Box
A Greek tale of love and lust. Again, the love of money creates disaster. What is in Pandora’s Box, the only redeeming quality left there was the element of Hope. Hope lives in the future, no matter how difficult and treacherous the past has been, hope gives us a promise of a new day tomorrow
Secret Twenty
The Buddha, the Traveler, and the Gift
Once upon a time, the Buddha was traveling and he came upon a traveler who wanted to walk with him. This traveler poured poison on the Buddha and after three days when he did not not respond, he asked the Buddha, why he had not retaliated. The Buddha responded with a question, this question is the great question of life and all teachers, healers give the same lesson, never retaliate in anger, and understand in love.
Epilogue Thoughts
Thoughts about the journey of success. The path is usually convoluted, unexpected and has no ending. The secrets are lessons learned over time for our amusement and personal growth. The lesson manifest at a time when we are ready to learn. Excellence is the relentless pursuit of the very best that we have to give to the universe, when we are ready to learn and ready to give. This is our very best, our relationships and our commitment to world service.
