How To Create A Successful Work at Home Business

How To Create A Successful Work at Home Business


Many people have tried or are currently trying to make money online today. Only a small percentage of these people have actually gone on to achieve enormous amounts of success. The reason for so many failures is that people simply do not know how to create a home based business or even where to start.

I am going to share with you the four things that the online Guru’s do not want you to know because if you did, they wouldn’t have a job anymore. The four areas of focus will be on finding a niche market, building income streams, affiliate programs and networking.

Finding a niche market is your number one priority when starting a home based business. This means that you will have to do a little research and find the products or services everyone is looking for. Contact people already successful with a home business and find out what they are selling and how they started. When I first started myself, I signed up to money making forums and contacted people already making a living working out of their homes. I was shocked to find that these people were very helpful and provided me with plenty of valuable resources.

Once you have found a niche market, go with it and stick with it. Its important not to give up if you fail the first time around, persistence is the key. Continue to diversify and research other programs that are a match for you. Do not rely on one program as a main source of income, rather seek out other opportunities and create multiple sources of streaming income.

Network marketing is a fast growing business online today and an extremely effective way to build a business fast. Whatever product, program or service you decide to go with, become an expert on the subject matter and build a network with other people that share a common interest. When you are able to network your business with other business partners, it is possible to quadruple your income in a very short period of time.

Resell your program, product or service. There are thousands of affiliates making millions of dollars today simply by reselling their programs online. Affiliate marketing is a fast growing online business and can be done by virtually anyone. There are plenty of affiliate programs available online that will offer commissions anywhere from 5% to 75% on each sale.

Building a home business requires dedication and persistence. Following these four simple steps will help anyone achieve there goals and the financial freedom they have been looking for.

Business Success With Money Back Guarantee

Business Success With Money Back Guarantee


An email writer has asked recently, why there is no money back guarantee on a certain advertised website. There are a lot of online offers with a money back guarantee. Thus many people expect a money back guarantee on offered solutions.

Money Back Guarantee As Bait?

You also might have read such kind of advertisment: “Make $ 100,000 a year – guaranteed” The website of this home business solution offers to remit you the money, if you do not succeed after a year. It’s even possible that this kind of turn-key website of a home business has worked in the early days of the internet. The readers can be sure that it does not work longer in these days. Anyway this kind of offers still are advertised. The suppliers just hope that the people forget to claim their rights after a year. If you look around these websites, you even may detect some warnings in forums that the people claim in vain their money.

There are tools for search engine optimization and a lot of further make money or extra income opportunities offered with a money back guarantee. Some of them may remit some money for failures, but most of them hope for forgetful customers. The money back guarantee is rather a clever bait to boost sales than a serious consumer protection.

It is difficult to claim money back from businesses, where the ownership sits thousands of miles away. It even can happen that a letter to a physical address of an attractive home business website bounces, because nobody is there. Only a recorded voice answers telephone calls. This shows the obstacles of getting the guaranteed money back in the online business world. It is not worthwhile to acquire a solicitor to get some dozens or hundreds of Dollars back. This is the reason that people do not really insist on a promised money back guarantee.

There Is No Risk Free Business Opportunity

The reality is: There is no risk free business opportunity. The higher the yield – the higher the risk. There are promising opportunities, but they are rare and they can be found by accident after doing a lot of researches, trial and error tests.

Where Does A Money Back Guarantee Make Sense?

This article does not state that consumer protection is worthless. It is very important in our consumer society. It is, however, difficult to execute consumer rights in the weakly regulated global world wide web. It makes sense to have a warranty on goods, e.g. cars, TV sets, laundry machines etc. There is a reliable physical address of the supplier. Law and social control are very effective in this field.

Common Sense Is Needed

The best advice is to decide with common sense about a home based business or make money opportunity in the internet. Promising opportunities to earn extra money still evolve in the internet. Furthermore: Persistence and patience are important preconditions for success. How many people give up too early in frustration, because they expect to get quick rich easily?

Affiliate Marketing – And the Learning Curve


When you put up your first website – you have to admit that you are pretty green to the ways of the Internet World. You think that once your website is up, and you have put your links in place, you will be in the money. I, and I am sure many, would love that to be true. Just think how many Super Affiliates we would have. I will give you a small sampling of what to truly expect.

The Begin of the Begin

You will be excited at first, and you will have a sense of pride in your accomplishment. Granted, it is no small feat to getting a website up and online. But this is just the beginning of your Internet Marketing experience.

Once you have your website up, you should be asking yourself -- where do I begin, or, what do I do now? If you are short of cash, which, in most cases people in the beginning are -- you can begin by:

1. Writing articles
2. Optimizing your site for the search engines
3. Putting Adsense on your site

All this takes time and work. But, when you first begin, you do have time to optimize, to write articles, and to put adsense ads on your site. Why? It has been said that for the next six months or nine months, Google, and possibly, the other search engines, may put you in the Sandbox. Some say the Sandbox exists, some says it does not. Whatever it is called, you will see a degree of dormancy in your site.

My own thinking is that there may be a pre-set time of six months before you see a rise in your unique clicks – I know I did. I feel that there may be several reasons for this:

1. It’s a great way to protect the Internet community against unscrupulous sites – I figure that these sites have a lifespan of six months before people give them the boot. It only takes one person to feel the blunt of a scam, before talk in the online forums begins.
2. Websites go up and go down daily. The search engines are looking at saving themselves time and money. If you are still on line after six months or nine months, you’re paying your dues, and they may figure you are serious about maintaining a business online.

What Do I Do During That Six or Nine Month Period

First, and foremost – since I have supplied you with this information – do not get frustrated and throw in the towel. Granted, at first the only clicks you may see is your own, but that will change.

Second, start positioning yourself, so when your dormancy with the search engines ends, you have the quality content, and the quality products to begin to fly. That means, writing articles, getting your name out to the masses, and learning to utilize Adsense.
And when you have spare change, try your hand at advertising on Adwords.

In the beginning your learning curve is just out of the starting gate – take this time to read, buy appropriate ebooks, experiment and research. All are important to moving your learning curve to the expert level.

To conclude, a website is just a small part, but an important part, of becoming an Affiliate Marketer. The other important elements, is persistence, hard work, and marketing. And finally, if you still have the passion after the initial exhilaration of becoming an online entrepreneur wanes – then you’ll make it.
