What Type Of Home Based Business Really Pays?

Posted on by

It can be very daunting to jump into an online business or home based business when you have little to no experience.

Here is a list of the best income creation business models in no particular order where you can work from home:

1) STARTING A BLOG
2) STARTING A MEMBERSHIP SITE
3) STARTING AN E-COMMERCE SITE
4) STARTING AN AFFILIATE MARKETING BUSINESS
5) STARTING A FOREX CURRENCY TRADING ACCOUNT

From these core areas there are many areas that branch off of this niche.

So for example, when you are aware of what type of home based business really pays, you can narrow down some core ideas. Let’s say that you wanted to start an e-commerce site, there are really have hundreds of options to start a business in any niche market just within this area. So it is easy to get overwhelmed but you must stay calm and focused on the job at hand.

Hopefully now you have more of a guide to the areas that pay best and work for you.

There are other options that are possible to work from home like:

1) NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS
2) A FRANCHISE
3) AN OFFLINE STORE OR HOME BASED PHYSICAL PRODUCT BUSINESS
4) A STUDIO FOR PRACTICE OF ARTS AND EXERCISES

Personally I prefer the top work from home options because all of them mean you don’t have to have any business offline, so in other words you don’t need physical products. It depends on what you love doing because if you love getting outdoors and chatting to people which is fun then you may prefer one of the last 4 models.

Let’s say that your passion was coffee. You could train to become a barrista for example and then teach others to do the same. This would require a work space of some kind in your property or elsewhere where you can teach students the art of a great brew.

Again, it depends on the type of business that you prefer. Some of the most popular areas to work in right now and projected for 2015 are things such as…

> THE FOOD BUSINESS
> YOGA TEACHING
> ONLINE BUSINESS
> COPY WRITING
> WEB DESIGN
> GAME DESIGN

There are many other areas also that are very popular, so you may want to think of what your passions are and try to combine them with an area that is in demand. This utilises your skills and at the same time caters to a growing market demand.

There are many great books out there that may help you to define your options and find some answers. The key is to not get overwhelmed or get drawn into the shiny advertising online.

Very often people get dragged into ‘the money trap’ so they follow where they think they can make money rather than following what they can really enjoy doing. I think this is a big mistake as, the desire of money alone will not lead to a sustainable successful business in my experience of teaching.

Why is chasing the money wrong?

Of course all business is built on sales and profits and so you will want to create profit margins as soon as possible BUT, this is not the kind of thinking that will lead to replacing your job. Think about it, your job pays you without fail every week or month, and so, you want something that is going to pay you on repeat. The only business model that pays you this way is something that is built with love, great ethics and thinking of serving a customer first.

Breaking it down:

1) BUILD A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS AROUND YOUR PASSIONS / SKILLS
2) DON’T CHASE THE MONEY, FOLLOW YOUR HEART
3) DECIDE UPON THE TYPE OF BUSINESS MODEL THAT BEST SUITS YOU
4) RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH – KEEP LOOKING AND GETTING IDEAS

The Master Mind Principle and Power

Posted on by

Power

Personal Power: Do You Have Any?

Ask yourself, “What is power? How do I get it? How do I use it?”

You don’t care about power, you say?

What about the power to reach more folks with your opportunity? What about the power to close more folks on sales? What about the power to actually be able to help your folks succeed in their business while you succeed in yours?

What about the power to go to work; to pay your bills, feed the kids, send them to school?

How do salesmen and public speakers tune into their audiences and close so many sales? Why do seminars from on stage close so many more sales than email and video emails? How is it they can sense the group mind of their audience which turns into individuals deciding to buy?

Why some people antagonize others without knowing it. Do you ever worry that you do this?

Yah needs to be thinking about power and where yours is coming from, Mon.

Master Mind

Do you really know what the law of the “Master Mind” is? Woodrow Wilson, who I once thought of as a terrible Progressive, I am now convinced was a good man. His only mistake was in believing that all the others in his sphere of influence had his same motivations and agenda. He had the law of the “Master Mind” in his plan for the League of Nations. While it is true that it was a poisoned banquet for the republic, I believe it to be a true statement that Woodrow Wilson had good intentions. President Wilson forgot that in order to have a healthy Master Mind, it is necessary to have a group bent on one purpose and cooperating towards that purpose.

Just Pulling Any Group Together Just Won’t Do

Before you engage in starting a Master Mind group, make sure of the intentions and motivations of those you would engage in its formation. Make sure your members are contributors and not detractors. You can take on charity cases later when you are rich and have time.

Right now you have a business to build.

Master Mind Alliance

So, what is the Master Mind principle?

“An alliance of two or more minds working in perfect harmony for the attainment of a common definite objective.”

The power of this is the position that no set of minds ever comes together for a common goal without a “group mind” coming into being that is stronger and more powerful than the sum of its parts. This is why its subset, teamwork, is so powerful in part. Mumbo jumbo you say? Really? All three of the world’s monotheistic religions share the Book of Genesis. Moses had something to say on the subject of group mind, or “Master Mind” when talking about the Tower of Babel.

Now, I have thought long and hard on the following scripture verse and I think it is Apocalyptic. It is certainly revealing when you read each line slowly, letting the weight of Jehovah’s words sink in without overlaying them with your struggles with the beautiful King Jame’s English or with what you are planning for dinner.

Focus; it’s important.

Genesis 11: 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Let me break it down for you while the concept of “Master Mind” is fresh in your brain.

Behold, the people is one
This they begin to do
… now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Anything they imagine to do will not be restrained from them because they are one.

If you build your team with the understanding that you need to be building a Master Mind as a very real as a source of power in building your business I think your success will accelerate.

Best Regards and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Make enough money online to achieve financial freedom – financial freedom is something that everybody dreams about since they were old enough to realise what money is. This is quite interesting, because very few people ever achieve financial freedom. With the advent of the internet and all the opportunities that comes with it, more and more people are making money online and achieving financial freedom as a result.

Even though the general perception of making money online is still negative, there is a growing trend of people that make money online in ways that are both legal and ethical, meaning that more and more people are transacting online. Online powerhouses like Amazon, Kalahari.net and more recently Takalot.com have gone a long way towards winning people’s trust with transacting online, making it easier for the smaller businesses to win online.

Bring in the Clowns: A Blueprint for a Portable Income

Let me start out by making a bold statement: Any career can be a nomadic career.

It doesn’t matter what you do or what your skill set is, you can find a way to make money doing that from anywhere.

One of the ways I like to define a nomadic career is that it is something you can do to make big money while you are sitting on a beach somewhere.

Or anywhere you like. Like nomads and wayfarers everywhere, you can be location-independent and still make a respectable income.

It doesn’t matter what you do, if you think about it long enough and are creative and open-minded, you can find a way to make money doing what you do right now online.

Managing Multiple Email Accounts With Mozilla Thunderbird

Posted on by

If you’re managing multiple email accounts, in my opinion, Mozilla Thunderbird is absolutely the best email client you can have.

As an online marketer, I have several email addresses, all but one of them is a Gmail address. I have one I use as a primary, personal account, and the rest are for business.

I also have a Comcast email address that I set up years ago when I started using Comcast as my Internet service provider.

Web-based and Outlook vs. Thunderbird
Now, a lot of people still go on the Web to check their email, but I find it’s a real pain in the butt, seriously inconvenient, especially when you have multiple email accounts you need to manage.
