Home Business Information

In this day and age a new trend is emerging where a group known collectively as single moms want to stay at home looking after the children, whilst being able to contribute towards the family income. This group actually comprises of single moms, disabled mothers, moms low on cash and mothers who generally would like a better standard of living. Finding ways to work from home, ideally doing only a few hours each day and still being able to bring up your children without resorting to employing nannies etc. would seem like the ideal solution. Many moms look to the internet or local newspaper adverts for opportunities to earn money from home. Unfortunately the scammers know this, and to them, these unsuspecting victims are 'easy meat'. They are faced with adverts that promise a better lifestyle, lots of free time, and the ability to earn vast quantities of extra cash with no real training or expertise. This is exactly what the unsuspecting moms would like to hear and therefore they become very easy targets.
What makes things even worse is the fact that the majority of moms who lose money to the scammers, never try to retrieve the cash they have paid out in good faith.
So what are the most prevalent scams that one comes across nowadays?
Let us start with three of the most popular that can be found anywhere you look for working from home opportunities, these being:

· Envelope Stuffing

· Medical Billing

· Home Assembly

Each of these three take a different route to the same end. That end being to make you pay upfront for a service that basically is non-existent.

Envelope Stuffing
Envelope Stuffing scams promise moms up to $2000 for mailing 400 brochures with free postage and stationary supplies. After calling a toll free number, a pre- recorded message instructs you to leave your name and address for more information. Shortly afterwards you will receive a letter claiming that if you pay the $35.00 registration fee then for every envelope you fill and post, $5.00 will be paid to your account. So you pay the fee, only to find that you either get a letter telling you to place an advert exactly the same as the one you replied to, or a list of companies that if contacted already have in-house envelope sealing and addressing machines, and as such do not require your services!

Medical Billing
Medical Billing ads lure consumers with promises of substantial income working from home full- or part-time - "no experience required." They direct consumers to call a toll-free number for more information. On calling, a sales representative will entice you to sign up by telling you that the processing of medical claims is a very lucrative business, that doctors are desperate for help with electronic claims processing, and that you - even without any experience - can do this work from the comfort of your home, after you have bought the software off them, for a charge of sometimes up to $8000.
In exchange for the initial fee, they claim to provide everything you supposedly need to launch your medical billing business: the software program to process the claims and a list of prospective clients ready and waiting.
But the reality is that few consumers who pay for medical billing opportunities find clients or make any money, let alone earn the promised substantial income. The software consists of various forms and letters; anyone could design.
Competition in the medical billing market is fierce, especially for those who are new to it. Many doctors' offices process their own medical claims. Doctors who contract out their medical billing often use established firms, not individuals working from home.
The end result is you lose the total amount invested!

Xtreme X2O. Not many people have heard of it...yet. This amazing new, organic mineral product has become the foundation of one of the fastest growing, home based businesses on the planet. People from all walks of life are interested in leaving the corporate "rat race" and starting their own, home-based business. Americans are looking around them today and seeing large companies fall apart, social security being eaten away, friends loosing their "real jobs" through downsizing and the myriad of other calamities associated with life in the big city. This causes one to stop and think about what the real problem is and what can one do about it.

I live in a town that lives and breathes because of the automotive industry as well as a few other small manufacturing companies. Most recently our middle-sized town in middle-america has been knocked on its heels by the Delphi Automotive story http://www.topix.net/com/dph. If the other manufacturing plants in our town follow suit, there will be thousands of people with either no job or making just above minimum wage.

Many people try to go the home-based business or self-employed route every day only to find that it is much more difficult than they imagined. There are thousands of "business-in-a-box" systems available today ranging from purchasing a well established francise for hundreds of thousands of dollars to joining one of those things their cousin Jenny has gotten involved in that everyone thinks will never work. There are certainly scandalous companies around in the Multi-Level Marketing business arena but there are also thousands of people around the U.S. and other countries that have not only made a comfortable living but became millionaires in the process.

Xooma Worldwide launched in May of 2005 with the announcement of their flagship product Xtreme X2O. What is making this company rise above the rest is a number of attributes that most MLM companies do not possess. First and foremost, they actually have a legitimate product that is helping people get healthy. The product is very simple. X2O is a small sachet (or teabag) full of a coral calcium based product that is 100% organic. You put the sachet in a bottle of water and drink it. That's it. The other dilemma that Xooma has solved is the start up costs. There aren't any. No hidden fees of any kind. Just start buying the product and if you don't like it, you simply quit. No restocking fees, no cancellation fees and most important, no distributor sign-up fees. Finally, one major problem with most multi-level marketing companies is they start with no infrastructure to support their growing company. If they manage to get off the ground, they can't keep up with the quickly growing demand. Here today, gone tomorrow and many people wake up to find their "investment" has disappeared. I met a young man named Frank Morgan who has become quite wealthy with Xooma Worldwide who told me that he has a check on his wall at home from a past MLM firm he was involved with for over $100,000. He never got to cash it because he woke up one morning and found the company had vanished. Xooma has a parent company called Health Through Nutrition (HTN) that has been around for over 13 years. They have all of the corporate support they need; web developers, shipping, accounting, legal, product development, etc. Both companies are being managed by people who have failed and succeeded in the home-based, multi-level marketing business who know what it takes to make the company thrive. The recurring theme and goal for Xtreme X2O is that it will someday be bigger than Gatorade. One of Xooma's top distributors, Mr. Tommie Weber, says, "I can envision one million kids carrying a green bottle and drinking X2O. We're changing the health of a generation."

Do you ever remember how you found a plumber or an electrician? Most of us would have found them only through friends or neighbors. Most of the plumber and the technicians get their business only through word of mouth. This is the best method to increase your contact when you start any business. Inform your friends about your business. It would be better if you can arrange a simple party to announce that you are doing a particular business. After the end of this party you might realize that you have multiplied your contact levels. Make sure that you inform all your friends about your business.

Is it not enough for kick starting your home based business?

If you are sure on the type of business then it is easy to locate people who might be interested in your business and your products.

All you have to do is to simply register with these directories. Any person who is searching for a product related to your business might come across your listing and you are likely to get business from them.

Online chatting is used to pass time for most of the people. Dig the address book in your messenger. You might get some potential contacts through it. This is one sure way to spread a word about your business. Apart from this you can advertise in the local newspapers and magazines about your business. People in your locality are those who might need your service for certain types of businesses. Advertising in local papers might be very helpful in such situations.

The world of the business opportunity is growing at an ever-increasing rate. Fuelled by the modern desire to want more from life, especially wealth and freedom, people are seeking ways to escape from their corporate environment, their job, and employed status. The rewards are huge if successful; once a winning formula is discovered, it can be used to shape a whole lifetime. All of a sudden, choice and freedom are available. Having such an independent lifestyle can (and usually does) erase much of the stress and depression that exists in the lives of many people nowadays.

Those seeking this Holy Grail can spend a lot of money – often thousands – on ideas, or they can spend an inordinate amount of time devising their own plans.

Yet, it is a strange fact that very few of us who buy, or are given, or invent a business opportunity succeed.

Why is this?

Very often, of course, it is the actual business opportunity or plan that is used. Some exist simply to line the pockets of the writers – not the readers. However, there are countless reliable, proven ways to build a very profitable business that can be run from home. Some people will run with an idea and become very successful and yet someone else, following the same plan, will not. Can the reasons for this be dependent solely on intelligence, experience, gender, race or genes? Surprisingly, no. What usually separates the winners from the losers is attitude and, in particular, the ability, or will, to act. The winners possess fearlessness or, at least, a resistance to the effects of the fear of failure.

The losers, very often manifest this fear into what is known as analysis paralysis: a tendency to keep trying to make a plan exactly right before executing (if we don’t try then we can’t fail). This is obviously a paradox; the very state of inaction produces the failure.

If any blame for ineffectiveness can be levelled at a plan in question, it is in the almost universal lack of emphasis on the importance to act. Action produces results, and from these results we can act again, thereby moving ever close to our destination.

Are you a person who is bored by your routine work in your office? Don't you have the flexible work time so that you can spend some time with your family? Do you need to travel a lot to earn decent money every month? If your answer is yes to any of these then you are right candidate to have a second look at your career and venture into a home business.

Many people dream of a becoming rich by working from home. But they lack the initiative to learn what it takes to become successful. You have to take the first step right away and don't hesitate to take it. You should not fear of failure. Of course failure is not going to be there if you plan the right way. Mothers can work from home and earn more than their husbands earn!

If you need to be successful as a home business person the first step should be in choosing the right business. To do this you have to evaluate your skills and the special talents that you have. Sometime in your career somebody would have told you that you do this thing or that thing in a good way. Think of that and identify the skill and try to cash in on that. If you are good in written communication skills then you have a lot of business to start. Additionally if you are a computer literate then your options are very wide. Real Estate, Photography, Candle Making, Wedding consultant, Tuition, Insurance agent, Travel agent, Copywriter, etc., are some of the areas that you can choose from. Web designing, marketing in the internet, Medical transcription, and Graphic design can also be some of the areas you can choose. Try to enhance your special skills by going for some courses. If you are already working somewhere, don't resign that job while you are in the process of developing your home business. This is one way to reduce your risk. Once your home business starts giving you the money you can quit your current job and jump in to your home business full time.

Over the last five years, consumers as a group have opened up the market for health and wellness businesses, because of their increased awareness and focus on eating and living a healthy lifestyle. In 2004 alone, Americans spent $42.8 billion dollars on natural and organic products that were part of their diet, personal care, and environmental concerns. That makes the health and wellness industry a home business with great potential if you go about it the right way.

First, decide what aspect of the industry you want to start out with. It doesn't mean you can't expand later, but it does give you a primary area to concentrate on for the start up. Surf the Net for sales statistics on your particular interests, such as herbal supplements, natural beauty products, health foods, and diet products. Try surveying co-workers and members of any groups you belong to regarding their purchase of health and wellness products.

Look at your own financial resources and decide how much you have to invest at the start. This can affect whether you decide on going solo, buying from a variety of suppliers at wholesale, and keeping stock on hand, or whether you sign up with a company that provides you with a sales kit for a given fee, and rewards you with a percentage of sales and bonuses for signing up other consultants.

Working from home is something that is sought after by more and more people each day. The thought of earning a very high income working from the comfort of your own home, setting your own hours is very appealing. There is so many contradictive inputs about working from home and the programs that teach you how to apply yourself to working from home.

I am sure you have all seen at least one advertisement for working at home. "Make a $1,000 a day entering data for only a couple hours a day!". So is this true? This couldn't be further from the truth for the people these ads are targeting. For people who have been in the business for years..sure it can be true. But this is not who it is intended for which can be very misleading.

So what's the truth about this business? Some people say, "Yeah right, I'm not falling for one of those scams!". And some people look at those ads and it sucks them in. The want for that kind of money, made so easily, is very appealing to some people.

Well the truth is that it is very possible to make a $1,000 a day not doing much work. But that is after you have put in LOTS of work to get to that point. So really what these ads neglect to tell you is that your going to be busting your behind before you get to the point where you can work very little amounts of time to make that kind of money.

The other thing is that there ARE a lot of "scams" out there. What I mean is that the programs MOST of these people are selling have irrelevant information in regards to making that kind of money - even down the road. They do not give nearly enough information for you to be able to make that kind of money. But there really are a few programs out there that do offer great information to getting you to the stages of making big money online. But even the best program's information will take you years of work to master to get to the level of making $1000's a day.

Three of the best programs for advice are listed at http://www.melovemoney.com. Their expert has been in the industry for a long time and after reviewing program after program, he believes that these are the top three programs in regards to information. Information that you will be able to execute to get yourself lots of money with little work - down the road a couple years.

So to sum things up there really are two simple myths about this business. The first is that all these programs are scams and there is no way to make that kind of money working a couple hours a day. The other is just the opposite. That you will INSTANTLY be able to make $1000's a day with only a couple hours of work.

So the truth really lies in the middle of the two myths. It is very possible to make that kind of money with little work AFTER you have put in years of hard work and dedication.

Working at home is considered the ideal type of work that most people long for. After all, it would mean that they would have the luxury of time. And they could also choose as to what time they start work. People who work at home could also attend to their children and their family. There are many opportunities for a work at home business nowadays.

Advantages of work at home business

When you work at home, you can wake up any time of the day. You do not have to worry about gossip in the workplace. You would not have to spend your hard-earned money on transportation or gas. Also, when you work at home, you can take care of your children, especially if you have a baby or a toddler who constantly needs a parent’s presence and care.

What are the usual work at home business opportunities?

There are various work at home business opportunities. By finding the right kind of work that is suited to your skills, your capacity, as well as your interests, you not only earn cash but also enhance your skills and enjoy yourself.

If you are an artist, you can have a work at home business that deals with your specific craft. You can have your own tattoo parlor if you know how to do tattooing Or you can continually paint and sell your creations later on. There are even some companies who hire artists to do projects for them on a regular basis.

Other work at home business opportunities include child care, baking cookies and cakes, holding tutorials at home or even online, freelance writing, or even researching for a company or business.

A home based business is one in which you are your own boss, and you never have to leave your home to do it. Often it involves work with the Internet or postal mail. For years, you have dreamed about setting up and having your own business. You have dreamed about being your own boss. You dreamed about working at your own leisure time. You have dreamed about sharing your own business with your family, your children and your friends. You just cannot help but feel excited about starting you very own home based business.

If you are preparing for your own business, the first move would be to start thinking about what kind of business you want to start. You should be able to define the basic plans you have, and decide just what kind of business you are willing to take a risk on.

Help is available for people wanting to put their own home based business in place. The information super highway holds many, different kinds of ideas, checklists and tips on how to start up your own business. Some companies and small businesses also sponsor and hold conventions and seminars, and there are forums you can visit to discuss options with other home business owners.

People don't buy a product. They buy what that product can do for them. We were reminded of this when we read the following quote by Charles Revson, the founder of cosmetics giant, Revlon. He said: "In the factory, we make cosmetics. In the drugstore, we sell hope."

This example was used recently in a conversation with a friend. We were explaining why a company that sells the benefits of its products (in this case, hope) will always be more successful than one that sells features.

"Why do you wear makeup?" We asked.

"So I can look pretty," she replied.

"And why do you want to look pretty?"

"So I'll feel good about myself."

She thought for a moment and added, "I see what you mean. I don't buy a particular brand of cosmetics because it 'goes on smooth' or 'lasts all day.' Those are features. I buy it because of a benefit that's implied in the way it's advertised - the hope that it will make me look pretty and feel good about myself ... and maybe even attract Mr. Right."

Take a look at the way you're marketing your product. Are you selling its benefits? And are you clearly communicating those benefits to your potential customers? If not, you're not selling nearly as much as you should.

Somewhere inside you, a fire is burning. It is your core desire - your deepest, truest idea about what you'd like to do ... the person you'd like to become...the home business you would like to create.

If you can vent that fire, it will give you all the energy, imagination, and boldness you need to make your life full and rich and satisfying. If you ignore that fire, it will consume everything that is potentially great and good about you. It will burn out your secret hopes, desires, and passions, one at a time, and leave you - as an older person reflecting back on your life - with a cold, charred core.

By getting up early each morning and making those early hours - as well as the rest of your day - more productive, you can make your life into exactly what it should be. What it should be, of course, is different for every person. Only by digging down deep and finding out what really motivates you - by identifying your core desire - can you find the fire that will fuel your future.

The buying and selling of online game accounts and items such as gold, platinum and body armor are common elements today in the huge world of online role-playing games. The market for virtual goods, also known as unreal estate, has sales in the billions of dollars every year. Gamers have many ways to make extra income in this market, and you could even develop a fully fledged business and make a substantial full-time income.

Of course, becoming an entrepreneur aiming for a big profit is not the same as just playing a game. You would need to treat your venture like a real business in order for it to reward you like a real business. Selling unreal estate from online gaming worlds is not a weird or quirky path for a business person to take. At any given time, hundreds of game accounts from games such as EverQuest II, EVE Online, World of Warcraft, and many others are listed for sale on eBay, which is only one place where these products are sold. Many businesses operate as middlemen in the sale of in-game currency and accounts. For example, the company Internet Gaming Exchange www.ige.com that was founded in 2001 provides a secure marketplace where people can readily sell their in-game currency, items, and accounts.

To succeed in this market, you would have to apply the same principles that work for any business such as discipline, planning, goal-setting, customer service, and selecting a profitable niche to get started in. Developing game characters for sale or amassing game wealth to sell to other players is not the same as just playing a game for fun. Some people fail in this business because they do not make the distinction between business and play.

There exist many techniques for improving the efficiency of business operations and you would need to learn the best ways for improving your bottom line. Although it does take work to make money, you should still select a game or games that appeal to you and that you would enjoy selling products for. Being genuinely interested in your subject matter will greatly enhance your ability to succeed. With the right effort, you very easily could profit from this market that has mushroomed off of the primary business of selling online games to subscribers.

The buying and selling of unreal estate for real money has become so common that many gamers expect and desire it as a part of their gaming experience. It adds to their fun if they can trade their extra in-game currency for actual money. The game Second Life from Linden Lab has actively encouraged the exchange of its in-game currency the Linden dollar for real dollars. The Second Life website www.secondlife.com prominently promotes the fact that players will pay real dollars for Linden dollars. Links to currency exchange services are provided at the game site as well.

Linden Lab takes the concept of the online game market farther than players simply buying and selling goods. Linden Lab is actively seeking proposals from business partners who want to use the Second Life virtual environment as a marketing arena. For example, a company might want to develop a business property within the Second Life game that promotes its brand to the players, which would conceivably create profits in the real world.

The possibilities for any interested entrepreneur in the online game market are expanding in creative directions. If you are already enjoying online games as a player and looking for business opportunity in the real world, this market offers you many ways to develop a viable business. Many other people are already doing it.

Are you fed up with trekking off to the office each morning? Do you fancy spending a little more time with the kids? Or maybe you're interested in working for yourself rather than a local business or a big corporation? If so, you may be one of the many people considering whether a career at home is right for you.

The growth of the Internet and opportunities for fast communication and easy transfer of information have led to a boom in telecommuting -- the practice of working from home, relying on electronic means to stay in contact with employers and co-workers. Many people also consider starting a private business from home, and dream of becoming entrepreneurs in the online as well as the offline world. But does a home career really bring the freedom that people dream of?

Making a success of a home career calls for a special combination of skills and self discipline. If you're thinking of establishing yourself as a home worker, take the opportunity to ask advice from those with experience in this type of arrangement. Find out about the challenges it can pose and the motivation required to work productively. You also need to know which job opportunities are right for your personality and interests -- and which you should avoid. Make sure you know what expenses and liabilities you will encounter and check local laws to find out how they affect your operating a business from your home.

The idea of working from home has a special appeal for those people who thrive on independence in their working lives. It's an arrangement that works well for employers who measure success through the timely achievement of objectives rather than employee observation. Home based workers may be able to benefit from a degree of flexibility in their working hours to combine professional duties and domestic commitments more easily than their office-based counterparts.

However attractive such advantages may seem, working at home also presents special challenges that may not be immediately apparent to the uninitiated. It can be a shock to the system to have to manage your own work schedule without the structure and support of office routines. Working from home can also be a lonely business: it's easy to underestimate how much one comes to depend on the social and professional support of convivial colleagues.

It's almost inevitable that a home career will impinge in some way on domestic arrangements. It's likely that you'll need a dedicated work space -- or at least an area where you can operate in privacy -- and don't forget to factor in the costs of necessary office equipment and supplies. Combining the needs of children with a home based career also requires special consideration. You may still need help with child care to enable you to work efficiently.

If you want to set yourself up in a home based business, make sure to educate yourself about problems that can beset the unwary. While many have found success with bona fide opportunities, there are also reports of unfortunate entrepreneurs who have been caught up in fraudulent schemes. Get good advice about how to distinguish a home business scam from a genuine opportunity.

Many people are looking for ways to supplement their income. With debts increasing at an alarming rate it is not surprising. The thought of working from home certainly does have a tremendous appeal. However there are a few things we need to consider before we make that choice.

1. Do I have the discipline to do this? This is a huge question. When working at home there are a lot of distractions. Not all of them will be bad. It is easy to "take a short break" to look at a TV program or make a short personal call. This short break can last for hours. If you are not a disciplined person, this is not for you.

2. Do I have the room? Depending on what you are doing, you may need a certain amount of space to work. This space needs to be set aside only for what you are working on. While the thought of growing your empire from the kitchen table does sound wonderful, it will not be if you have to put up your work for the evening meal. Not a good idea.

3. Do I have the tools. Does your business require a computer? What about a dedicated phone line? Make a list of all the materials you need to complete your business. Think it through from start to finish. You don't want to be in the middle of your work and find out that you forgot something that you need to finish.

4. Do I have the time? By the time that you pick the kids up from school, make dinner, eat and clean up, will you have time to do your business? Set out a schedule and plan how long each of these tasks will take. It will not always work that way, but you will see if you really have enough time. If you only get to spend one hour of "real work" on your business, will that be enough?

5. Do I have the money? To do your business, there may be a cost for materials, supplies, equipment and ect. Sit down a write a list of how much it will cost to produce and sell your product. Also, sit down and figure out how soon you will get paid.

If this is a product that you make and sell yourself, it may be immediate. If you have to sell someone elses' product and wait for a check, you need to know if you can be without money for that period of time.

Working does have a lot of benefits. But it is not for everyone. In the beginning, if this is money that the family needs to survive, it may be better to get a part-time job. It takes time for any business to make a profit. Whatever you decision, I wish you the best. You will succeed. Got Credit Power-Empower Your Life!

The key to how you choose to go into business can be whether you have the stamina and resources to go it alone, for everything from ordering, delivery and checking local regulations for your type of business, or whether you want to give up some autonomy for the support of an established sales network. Some people find it’s easier to go it alone while others may like having a network of people to turn to for support. This is something you will want to carefully consider when you choose your business.

Mothers at home who are interested in a home business cannot succeed if they do not know how to manage their family and children from interfering in their business. One way to succeed is to wait for your children to become adults. But how many years you are going to wait to run a business? By then everything would have gone in your life. It is better to know how to manage your kids and family so that you can run your home business successfully.

Most of the mothers use the same phone for both the family and the business. This way of working fires back at you and you are likely to lose your prospective client if somebody in your family has answered a call in a slightly different way. Don't gamble on it. It is better to have a separate phone for your business. Do not allow your kids to attend calls on that phone until they are mature enough to handle calls.
