Your Own Home Business - If Not Now, When?
You have wanted to have your own business for a long time. But, every time you sit down to write out a business plan for yourself, you end up discouraged because all you have is a list of things you know nothing about!
For example:
1) If you are going to have a business, you have to have something to sell – either a product or a service - and you do not have either one.
2) If you have a business, you have to advertise – and you have no idea how to do that, not to mention you do not have a lot of money for it.
3) If you want to do this on the internet, you will need a website – you certainly have no idea how to make one of those or how to keep it going!
Well, you are ready to quit now and you haven’t even started! Let’s go through just these three things, shall we?
1) If you are going to have a business, you have to have something to sell – either a product or a service - and you do not have either one.
Well, if you want to make any money, this part is true! BUT – the product or service does not have to your very own. In other words, you do not have to have this product in your possession, nor do you have to be the one to perform this service! You can be the one that brings a product or service to other people – explain about it to them, highlight the benefits of it to them. You can simply use other people’s products or services to make money for yourself.
2) If you have a business, you have to advertise – and you have no idea how to do that, not to mention you do not have a lot of money for it.
Yes, you are correct that you have to advertise. BUT – you can learn to do this! You can search on the web for advertising help and tips. There are many out there. You can join a group of people that know something about it and get input from them. You can join up with a company that gives you free training! For example, Strong Future International (SFI) has a free Internet Income Course that is very detailed and you can get it just by signing up with them – and it costs nothing to sign up!
There are even ways you can advertise for free! Doing free advertising takes times, but usually when you don’t have a lot of money to spend, you are willing to spend your time. You can also find some low cost ways to advertise. You can get people interested in the products or services you are promoting by visiting different forums on the web and participating in discussion groups or message boards. Just be careful to always follow the rules of each forum/message board you visit – do not spam them!
3) If you want to do this on the internet, you will need a website – you certainly have no idea how to make one of those or how to keep it going!
This is very true! BUT – getting and maintaining a website is not as hard as you might think! I would never have believed that I could be a webmaster – but I am! There are many good companies that will help you get a website started – they have templates you can use, easy instructions, and many even have phone support.
So, we have been through these three steps and I have shown you how you can get started. Find other people you can learn from; join a team of other successful entrepreneurs; search the web for information.
So now, you really only have one question to answer for yourself: If not now, when?
