Make a Work-At-Home Plan
You have decided you want to work at home but you aren’t sure where to start? This page will help guide you through the process of deciding what you can do to make money at home and making a plan to achieve your goal.
- The first step is to determine what exactly you need to earn while working at home. Its probably a lot less than you earn now working outside the home. It maybe even less than you think if you are currently not working at all. Visit the Cost of Work page to calculate how much you pay to work (over 2/3 of my income went to work-related expenses when I worked outside the home). It will also help you determine how much you’ll need to earn working at home plus give you ideas on how to save more making it easier to achieve your goal.
- Next, research different ideas on making money at home. Visit the Home Business Resources page to learn about how to start a business and brainstorm different business ideas. Visit the Business Ideas to read articles on a variety of different businesses. Check out Work-At-Home Opportunities page to see the different opportunities available to you. Or, if you’d rather find a work-at-home job,visit the At Home Jobs area to learn about how to find a legitimate work-at-home job.
- Once you have decided what you’d like to do to earn money from home, develop a plan for reaching your goal. Your plan is your road map that will get from work-at-home wannabe to work-at-home success. Both the Home Business pages and the At Home Jobs pages outline different things you need to research, evaluate and consider as you make your plan of action. The important thing is to do something every day that is related to your goal. It could be as simple as visiting a work-at-home web site or reading a chapter in a work-at-home book. Or maybe you will research information needed for a business or marketing plan.
Feeling stuck in your effort to work at home. Time and motivation seem to be the big obstacles to finding work-at-home success. Here are some tips help:
- Don’t wait for time to show up. Make time for your goals. You may need to get up earlier or stay up later. Or give up a TV or a hobby in the short run so you can focus on your work-at-home goal. The important thing to realize is that you won’t build a work-at-home career on haphazard pockets of time.
- Create a visualization of your work-at-home day. Pretend like you’ve reached your goal and think about what your perfect work-at-home day will be like. When do you wake in the morning? Do you get dressed or lounge in your jammies? Do you go to the park? Do you take your laptop with you? Write it down and post it some where that you can read it often. Keep your work-at-home dream with you always so it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle of every day life.
- Keep a journal or check list that shows where you started and how much you have achieved so far. Each day you work on something and mark it off your list is one day closer to reaching your goal.
- Never stop. The only people who never achieve Work-At-Home Success are those who give up. It may take a lon g time, years even, but if you stick with it, you will achieve you r dream of working at home.

Grow Your Business with Referrals
There is a saying in business that it is cheaper to keep a customer than generating a new one. The next cheapest would have to be obtaining a referral from an existing customer. Word-of-mouth marketing is the most powerful kind of marketing there is, but many new businesses fail to capitalize on it.
Think about all the referrals you make….sharing a good movie, giving the name of the dentist that is good with children etc. Your goal should be to have your clients recommend your goods and services in the same manner. But you can’t just hope that your customers will talk up your business. Here are some ideas to boost your referrals!
- Before customers will refer business to you, they need to have the best possible experience with your business. Just as positive words can grow your business, negative comments can destroy it. A happy customer will tell approximately 3 people about a positive experience and 7 people about a bad one. Therefore, try to exceed your clients’ expectations. If there are problems, fix them, fast!
- Let your clients know you would like referrals. You don’t need to beg or pressure. Just let your customers know that you rely heavily on referrals and their recommendation would be important to you.
- Let your clients know how and when to refer another client to you. Paul and Sarah Edwards in Getting Business to Come to You suggest writing an article “How to Know When You Need…..(fill in your service)”. Have re-prints of the article made and give them to customers, send them in mailings, etc.
- Listen for referral flags. When a client says “I have a friend who tried…” or something similar, it is a good opportunity to offer your assistance.
- Give incentives for referrals. Gift certificates, discounts and specials are all good ways to generate referrals.
- Develop a method for feedback, good and bad.
- Use letters of reference and endorsements on your marketing materials. Be sure to ask for such endorsements and request permission to print it.
- Develop relationships with your clients. While email, newsletters and social networking are great ways to keep your name in front of clients, sending personalize notes at holidays, birthdays, or other times builds a relationship that will keep your clients loyal to you. Businesses that are built on referrals only generate must of those referrals regularly written notes to clients. Personal contact insures clients will remember you when they think of the service you offer. Here’s the service I use to keep in touch with contacts.
- Send a thank you to any one who provides you with a referral. (Be sure to ask new clients where they heard of you.)
- Never speak poorly of a competitor or client. Always be positive and enthusiastic.
While other marketing methods are important in getting new business, nothing can beat a steady source of reliable referrals. Don’t ignore this powerful source of generating new clients.
Acceptable Free Web Hosting Option for Newbies
If you want to make a living online, experts (including myself) have advocated for finding the money to buy a domain and pay for web hosting. Earning income online requires the creation of a professional presence and control over the content on your site. The free hosting options in the past didn’t allow for that. Free hosting sites tend to be loaded with pop-ups and flashing banners that make it difficult to find and enjoy the content. The free sites might be fine for personal websites, but sites designed for making money needed to be free of all the glitz and distraction from free hosting. But now Weebly offers FREE web hosting services without the ads (there is a footer ad at the bottom indicating the site is hosted at Weebly).
Features of the free Weebly accounts include
- 5 MB of storage,
- Easy drag and drop editors (no tech knowledge required)
- Over 70 different designs
- Blogging options
- And more.
The non-professional URL’s of the sites have Weebly in them, however, you can use your own domain. If you already own a domain, you can set it up to work with your Weebly page free of charge or you can buy a domain through Weebly.
Further Weebly provides help in integrating Google Adsense on your account, so you can run your own ads if you like. Or use Paypal to build in shopping cart and payment processing to sell you’re own products or services.
The free service does have limitations in that it has a low storage amount (5MB) which limits other options such as video. But you can upgrade to a pro-account for about $4.99 per month (paid yearly) that includes:
- Password protected pages,
- Audio and video players,
- Embedded document features,
- Ability to host 10 sites,
- An increase to 100 MB storage
- Customized footer (you don’t have to have the Weebly ad at the bottom)
- Premium support.
For the new person just starting out, Weebly provides a full-featured web hosting option for free that can create professional a site without being cluttered with ads. There are some limits and Weebly may not provide you with all the hosting features you need over the long run. But if technical or financial aspects are preventing you from setting up a site to make money online, Weebly may be the answer to get you up and running ASAP. To learn more, or set up your free account, visit Weebly.
Best Ways to Make Money Online

Filed under Affiliate Marketing, Auctions and eBay, Direct Sales/MLM, Featured, Home Business Tips and Tools
The Internet has not only changed how people work and run home business, it has created entirely new income options. With the Internet, making money at home is easy. That’s not to say that internet-based income is automatic or doesn’t require work. Instead, it provides tools that if used correctly, can have anyone making a good income from home. Here are some of the best online income opportunities.
Writing – If you can string words together, there are a host of income options available to you. Businesses are paying writers to create articles, reports, books, ads, sales letters, emails, and blog posts. Many of these companies are posting their jobs online and providing ongoing work for the write writer. Or you can start your own writing business.
Affiliate marketing – This method of making money online is so low cost and easy, but it’s highly misunderstood. Affiliate marketing is a way for you to make money promoting other businesses’ products and services. But success in affiliate marketing, as in any business, is in the marketing. People can’t use your affiliate links if they don’t see them. Most successful affiliate marketers use a website or blog to provide information and promote products in a specific niche.
Virtual Assistance – If you have good office support skills and the needed tools and equipment, virtual assistance work may just be for you. Many businesses are outsourcing tasks they don’t want to do or don’t know how to do. These tasks can include everything from email management, follow up contact with clients, scheduling, website management, ghost writing, web design, research and much more. Some virtual assistants focus on a target market such as Realtors or authors. Others focus on providing a niche service such as blog management.
Online Storefront- The success of Amazon.com and eBay indicate that people do a significant amount of shopping online. You can take advantage of this by opening your own online store. Options include selling your home-made items, finding used items to sale, or using wholesalers who will provide you with products that you can resale for profit. You can sell your wares at Amazon, eBay or Etsy, or create your own storefront website.
Be an Expert – People go online to find information or support. There are a variety of ways you can provide this information and support, and get paid. Virtual tutoring and coaching are expanding fields. Or you can create your own informational products and training materials to sell online. Another option is to get work as a subject expert at a content-based website like About.com in which you write articles and blog about your area of expertise.
The Internet has everything you need to create a home-based income. You can find virtual work or create your own virtual business, as well as find a host of free and low cost web-based tools and resources to make it happen. While nothing will work overnight or run itself, working online can be simple and straightforward. All you need is your imagination, desire, and the willingness to do the work.

What Home Business Should I Start?
January 6, 2010 by LTruex
Filed under Featured, Home Business Tips and Tools, Work At Home Ideas
Millions of Americans work at home. Their “work” is as varied as the individuals themselves. Some telecommute, others have their own businesses, others are contract workers. Some created their work-at-home situation from scratch, others took advantage of flexible work options on the job or bought into an existing business such as a franchise or MLM. For many beginning to examine work-at-home options deciding to work at home is the easy part. Its the deciding what to do that is difficult.
Over the years I’ve been able to meet many people who work at home, and what I’ve found is that nearly all of them do something that is related to a talent, interest or passion. They take a job skill and turn it into a service business or they sell their homemade goodies, and so on.
Of course choosing a path, and what to do specifically once the path is chosen, is a challenge as well. Often, opportunity exists without realizing it. Jerry from Ginger’s K-9 Originals recognized an opportunity that showed itself when people began to ask him about his homemade sun visor for his dog. For others, the opportunity needs to be created. Below are some steps to help you find ideas to meet your work-at-home goal:
- Brainstorm your skills, talents, experience and passions. Write them all down without thinking about whether or not it could be turned into a business. This is important! After all, who would have thought a talent for baking cookies would make Mrs. Fields a well-known name?
- Using your brainstorm from number 1, think of business ideas (wacky or not) that could result from your gifts, etc. To help, use the books that list a zillion ways to make money from home. While these books aren’t so helpful on specifics, they are full of many different ideas you might not think of on your own. Some interesting ideas I have seen are: bartering club, holiday decorator (for homes and businesses), consultants (of anything), genealogy researcher, sales lead generator, referral service (from child care to bed & breakfasts), and so on. Use your search engine to search for keywords related to your idea to see what others are doing. Are they blogging about their passions? Selling their wares online? Marketing affiliate products? Also, find out if there are business-in-a-box offers such as direct sales related to your interests.
- Pick a few ideas and begin to research the feasibility of creating a business. For example, if you want to work completely from home, a business that required you to leave home to meet clients may not work. Also, begin to do market research to determine if there are people who will pay for what you want to offer. Whatever you choose, be sure it is something you want to commit to spending a great deal of time working on. If you are sick of bookkeeping, you probably shouldn’t start a bookkeeping business.
- Write a business and marketing plan. This is vitally important because businesses that fail to plan, plan to fail. Commit to your plan and your business. A business doesn’t grow overnight. Persistence and dedication are required. Find books and people to help you stay motivated and confident in yourself and your new venture.
The important thing to remember when searching for the best home business for you is to start with what you already know, love or do. Too many people jump online looking for fast, easy and profitable which almost never works and in most cases will lose money. You can’t make money at something that’s a gimmick or that you aren’t truly invested in. For example, there are good MLM companies but if you don’t like the product or aren’t willing to talk to people, it doesn’t matter how profitable it could be. You only make money when you do the work. So choose a home business that you can believe in and stick with.
Finally, choosing a business in an area you already know about shortens the learning curve and the time it takes to make money. Starting a business can take time because you have to plan, learn about marketing, obtain needed permits, etc. Choosing a business you know nothing about means you have to learn it along with everything else. But if you know about your business idea already, then all you have to do is put the business part in place.
