Choosing the Right Home Business For You

Pay any attention at all to your email inbox and you'd be
forgiven for thinking that the only way to run a business
from home is on the Internet. Sure, many people are
running spectacularly successful Internet-based home
businesses. Many, many more are doing so even more
spectacularly unsuccessfully.

But what if you're not interested in running an Internet
business? What if you want to start and run a home
business the old-fashioned way? Where do you start?

Actually starting any home business is the easy part.
The hard part's deciding what that business should be.


After defining your purpose, finding a suitable niche,
it is important to determine what your goals are in the
home business industry and how quickly you want to achieve
them. Are you in this to become full time, or just a part
time income? I tell you this because I am speaking from my
own experiences with my home based businesses. It's funny,
people ask me all the time, how did you get started, how did
you become so successful, and the truth is, I worked harder
than anyone I know. If you really want to make your work from
home business opportunity a success, you are going to have to
pull yourself out of the crowd and show potential home business
seekers that you can help them make money with your business
opportunity! And that is why I created my own site, for you
my viewers and readers, to learn from. Having your purpose,
finding your niche, writing down your short and long term
goals are by far the best way to succeed with any home based
internet business. You have to find a way to stand out from
he crowd. Keep reading for key success factors of the online
work from home industry.

first factor is the product and/or service that the program
is offering or selling. This will more than likely be the most
important factor of them all, because if it is not in demand,
or the product or service does not offer incentive to sell or
use, no one in their right mind will spend money to join you.
And believe me when I say that there are thousands of home
based business opportunities out there that have complete junk
products and you will waste tons of money if you do not research
before joining and spending. Ask yourself is the product
differentiated from other companies, how high is the demand for
the service or product, is anyone in that niche or opportunity
using the product or service and experiencing great results?

Ok so you have found a business service or product that
interests you, next is to look at who is behind the product
or service. The company who is running or managing the home
based business opportunity or the creator of the affiliate
marketing program is vital to your success. This is an important
step and often overlooked and can hurt you in the long run.
Back when I first started to work from home, I joined several
home business opportunities and did not do my research beforehand
and came back to hurt me. Find the answers to some common questions
like how bright does their future look? Financially solid and
backed? Are they helpful, active, and have a desire and passion
about their product or service? Do you feel as though they have
good ethics? Are they willing to work with and support their
home based business distributors? And something I have learned
over the years through various home based business opportunities,
is do they have a sense of excitement about their product or
service or are they just trying to make money. If you can answer
most of the questions above with a good feeling and positive
vibe, and are attracted to their product or service, then you
are on the right track for finding a good fit and work at home business
opportunity!

So we are on the right track to finding a good work from home
opportunity product or service and like what we see from the
company, now it is time to evaluate their marketing system.
Does the affiliate marketing or home based business program
have a system in place where I can excel and succeed with?
To elaborate, let's say you have the greatest company and
greatest product or service in the world, and is an all
around great business opportunity, does that mean your
guaranteed results and profits? No, of course not, you have
to have a marketing system in place that allows you and all
of your team members a chance to really hammer into the business
and begin promoting and advertising your opportunity.

The last key factor to look for in a work from home
business opportunity that will contribute to your
compensation plan! The two most important questions
you can ask yourself are How do I get paid and Will
I get paid accordingly for my efforts! Analyze their
compensation plan, dotheylooklike they are giving back to their
members? Do they have good incentatives and bonuses
for working hard? Do they allow for the new business
seekers quick money upfront getting them excited
and tuned into the business opportunity?

Just to summarize my four key factors for success with
any affiliate marketing program or home based business
opportunity, all of these are important and can ultimately
determine your success in your online money making
adventures. After putting the necessary time and effort
into researching and analyzing business opportunities,
it is now time to roll the dice and see how they play out.
Remember that you are not always going to be successful
from day one, and many people fail and lose money but if you
stick with it and play your cards right and roll the dice
good just once, this industry can be the most lucrative
business in the world and literally make more money than
professional athletes!

Huh? 31.95% DON'T know what a "Squeeze Page" is?

Recently, James Grandstaff revealed something
that I found quite interesting...

If you've been around the IM (internet marketing) scene for awhile, you've most likely heard the term "squeeze page" before, right?

At least that's what I thought.

Well, James surveyed approx. 500 people on his list who are interested in making money online. Many stated they were interested in affiliate marketing, product creation, MLM, etc...

One of the questions was "Do you know what a
"Squeeze Page" is?"

68.05% answered yes and 31.95% answered NO.

To be honest...

I was shocked that 31.95% said no.

What about you?

In light of this shocking survey data I decided to
write this post today to go over the very basics
of what a squeeze page is and why you should
be using them in your business (if you are not
already.)

And for those of you who already use them, pay
attention. You will probably learn something too.

Here goes...

A squeeze page which is also known as a "lead
capture page" or "name squeeze page" is a simple
web page with one purpose; to get your visitor
to give you their name and email address so you
can follow-up with them. That's it.

One of the best ways to get someone to opt-in
to your squeeze page is by offering something
of high perceived value such as a mini ecourse
or a highly targeted eBook.

For example, let's say you are promoting a multi-
level marketing business opportunity. The products
are great and you are a raving fan.

Most people would just start promoting the website
the company supplies. I say no. This is a perfect
opportunity to implement the use of a squeeze page and offer something of value first.

That way, you collect the leads, you follow-up with
an introduction of yourself and begin building a
long lasting business relationship.

In sales, what we are really selling is "us" first,
then the product.

You always want to provide value first. Once your
prospects warm up to you, then it's time to ask the
right questions to determine if your product or
business opportunity can help solve their needs.

If you'd like to see a high quality, high converting
squeeze page that James has put together, you

It's important to read the "thank you" page on the
other side you can get an idea of how the whole
process works.

Until next time...

Yours in success,
