Why You Have To Do It Online

Here’s some reasons why building your business online will margin your profit larger than if you do it offline.

1. No need your big money to get started.
No. It doesn’t mean that you can start it with zero capital. Not at all. But compared to offline and conventional businesses, you’ll still be able to take a breath deeper.
2. No need to have high-costed equipments.
You only need 1 computer with internet connection, 1 desk and 1 chair to sit down, so you can make your money in comfort.
3. Less time, more profit.
So tired with 8 hours doing your daily job? Well.. be pleased. Cause this online business will take only your 1 – 2 hours every day to run.
4. So many people out there will potentially become your market.
Can you imagine how many people searching on the internet to get a certain thing? I can’t.
5. Automated customer services.
Let your site does this tasks for you 24/7. Completely, if you want. From receiving order, process the payment, to deliver your product electronically.
6. You are the boss, man!
Do how you want your business to be. Nobody will interfere. Your hard work is your own success.
7. Free from such bad environment.
Heavy rain season? Unhealthy climate? Headache-making traffic jam? Noisy metal machines? Impolite inferiors? Anything else? Don’t worry. They would become no matter any more in your online world.
8. You can do it anytime, anywhere.
I really like this point. You can do your online works after playing football with your children, in the evening, or in your vacation. Anytime. Even if you suddenly wake up in the early morning and have a beautiful idea in mind, just turn on your computer and plan your money without having to bathe and still only wearing your underwear. Thanks to internet technology!!

Well, is that enough to make you think that I am right and push you to start your online business right away? I believe somebody must be able to add some points to my list. I’d really love to hear them.

For Newcomers: A Way To Make Money Online, Selling Information

If you are newbie in this online world and searching for money you can get from home, you must be shocked by so many ideas you can do. I bet it! That happened to me, too. But actually there’s one more thing that shocked me most. A lot of people there already fill their pocket full with money by working online earlier, even when we haven’t started it yet!! These ‘old guys’ then made feel too late to begin…

Are you feeling the same way too now?

Well, don’t be. This will make your pessimistic. Keep searching, and you’ll find what I’ve found. These ‘old guys’ are in fact ‘very nice persons’. Visit their sites and you’ll be welcomed to read any useful information they provide. Explore them. Join their forum. Do not hesitate to ask your questions, even if those questions are very simple like:
What is a website?
How to make an e-mail account?
What is a newsletter?, etc.

Your online knowledge will be day by day enriched thereafter. And then, you will know someday that most of those ‘old guys’ have their full-with-money pocket by doing one job. And that is SELLING INFORMATION.

Yupp…. Selling information. Online.

Let me tell you why information is the best product to sell online.

1. It’s fast to create and fast to copy.
Once you get a good idea in your mind, get close to your computer and start writing your idea. You can then turn your writing into a downloadable e-book in seconds. If you need more, you can easily copy it as many as you want. In seconds!
2. No need inventory to stock.
The information you sell online is digital and needs no particular room to keep it, just a small space on your computer.
3. Small money to start.
You need only a computer, a writing skill and time to type the ideas you’ve found onto the computer. Affiliate marketer who sells someone else’s info product might have zero investment.
4. Many ideas will continue to come.
Sell your first info product! And you will have the next ideas in your mind queues up to write.
5. Sales and delivery can be processed automatically.
You can make your site to automatically handle your online business. From sales letter, receiving order, process payment to deliver the product by e-mail.
6. Customers get immediate access or delivery.
Customer is always wanting now! They don’t want to wait for the product any longer once they have paid the money. Automated site can send the info product right away to meet this customer’s satisfaction.
7. No shipping and handling charges.
As I mentioned before, informational product are mostly delivered by e-mail. You just have to click the ‘send’ command button to deliver the product, and your customer over there will get it.

You see?! Information is the best product you can sell online. So let’s start gathering any information that we may need to build our home-based business.

Searching On The Internet About Home-Based Business

On internet, you can find so many articles describing how you can make money at home. On search engine like Google or Yahoo!, just simply type these words:
- home-based business, or
- work at home, or
- make money at home, or any other phrases you like

The search engine will then list you many websites offering home-based business opportunity.

I did my search with Google for home-based business.
God… it resulted 321.000 pages talking about home-based business!!!
Of course I didn’t want to spend my 2 months time to visit all of those pages. Look at the first top 10, and I got my conclusion that most of them offering online home-based businesses.

Try to search yourself. Find with different phrases if you like. Click the website / pages listed to view the ideas they offer. If you’re not satisfied yet, try another method you think better. I just can guarantee you one thing…

“The more you do searching, the more ideas you’ll find there on the internet. So, stop it before you become overwhelmed by this abundance!!”.

Just choose only 5 best ideas that look good for you. When you do this, consider that these ideas should be providing a good product for your customer too. It is true what the marketing experts say, “Don’t sell things your buyers won’t buy”. Thus, balancing between your skill/hobby and your market is a must and has to be done carefully.

Once you get your 5 best ideas in hand, try to reanalyze them. Think again, and again, until you get your confidence to decide 1 or 2 the very best ideas which will become your focus. You can focus on more ideas next time after your online knowledge increase.

My own experience, searching ideas gave me a bad headache. I might be too happy to see so many ideas about home-based business, but finally find difficulties to pick the best one.

There’s one website that impressed me most when I began to search on internet.

“Millions of people all over the world are making money online with just a computer and a few hours a week. You can too!”

Those words were typed with big-sized bold letter on the header of this website.

“Well, it might be the right for me,” I wondered.
You know, I really love those three words of them. ONLINE, COMPUTER and FEW (hours).

What I did then was jump into that site deeper to see what it offered to make me money..

I’m Always Wanting My Own Home-Based Business

First, let me tell you about what most people do to get their money for life. Being an employee.

I’d like to have my friend, let’s call him Andy, to represent these people. He wakes up in the early morning and prepares well before he goes to work. After giving his cute 3-years-old child a kiss, he starts his car engine ( he’s so lucky to have one ), then brummmm…. leaving his home, go to work. Other people who don’t have their own car, must walk fast, catch the bus, or… they’re gonna be late for work.

Until the next 8 hours, sometimes more, he’ll be having his busy time. Don’t try to interrupt him. Career is all in his mind. He does have a good job there in his office, and he obviously doesn’t want to loose it. Yes… he’s a serious Andy!!

He’ll be at home at around 6 pm. Spending his time with his family he missed that day. At 9 pm, all the lights inside his house will be usually turned off. It’s time to bed…

Wait a minute…

Do you think Andy get to sleep at that 9 pm? No, he doesn’t. I’ve told you, he’s a serious guy. He uses his time before sleep to recap his work that day, or get ready for his assignments tomorrow, while his wife and child start to sleep. After considering all is OK, then it’s time to bed for him.

That things happen day by day ( except for the weekend, of course ). At the end of the month, he’ll get his monthly salary, and then he will continue the same activities in the next days.

Well, that’s the short story about my friend doing his job everyday to earn money. A good money actually, from which he can live his life with his family, his own car and his own house. Not bad at all!

Me? I was a little bit like him. Nothing’s different except one thing. And that is a very BIG DREAM in my mind to have my own business in my own house. Nothing else, nowhere else…

My big dream said to me that I would be very pleased if I had some more time to spend with my family by working at home. Ideally, the money from this business should be as much as my money I got from my job, or even more. More time for taking care of my children and more money for life. Sounds great, isn’t it?

So I started to search the right business I can run at home. And you know what? It took time for about 2 years. From traditional kiosk, MLM, to planting indoor plants. But none of them made me feel happy, until I finally came across something. INTERNET.

I like computer very much. I used to design a database using MS Access, draw AutoCAD drawings, browsing, and harness any other application to ease my work. But at the first time, I didn’t know that computer and internet together will become a powerful money-machine.

I’ll tell you how internet interesting me to make money with it later…
