By Dennis Lauritsen
A work from home business in Internet marketing is an admirable and potentially very
lucrative venture. Doing it right the first time is difficult at best. There are so many
areas to master, that information overload usually occurs before you even know where to
start. The following top ten tips, tricks, and cautions will help you avoid the Home
Business pitfalls.
"Of the small businesses that fail, over 91 percnet do so because of a lack of skills
and knowledge on the part of the owner"... Dunn and Bradstreet
Your Work from Home Business idea can avoid being in that 91 percent by following the
right advice, from the right people, right from the very beginning.
My research in the "make money online" to work at home field I found the following
facts:
Federal Trade Commission - Consumer Protection, Facts for Consumers. In digging around
their site I found a very frightening statistic "over 83.8 percent of all the "money
making sites" they tested were scams"! Sad isn't it? You can read it here:
Work-at-Home Schemes
that leaves 16 percent "good ones". Granted that is still a lot. The good ones are out
there but, you must be able to recognize the difference between the The Good, The Bad,
and well,.. The Really Ugly Scammers.
1. Don't be an "opportunity seeker" avoid and resist all those "Make money on the
Internet...blah, blah, blah" and "Work at home jobs" "MLM" and thousands more scams and
gimmicks. Many are professionally written sales pages, and "sound" irresistible, only out
to get your money. RESIST AND IGNORE.
Follow only quality proven advice from proven, professional Mentoring Programs. Do a
lot of research before you jump in and start building a website. Find out if there is even
enough interest/traffic to justify promoting your selected Niche. 3,000+ searches per
month minimum to be profitable. If not, find another Niche.
2. Select a keyword rich 3-4 word domain name before you title / name your site, not
the other way around. Match your Title to your domain name and high count keywords. Use
a quality hosting company, not just the cheapest.
3. Build a detailed step by step, yet simple, Business Plan that will work for you and
your niche, then follow it! Basic Plans are available for free, that you can modify to
suit your own personal Business Plan.
4. Everything you are going to do in the Internet Marketing to Work from Home; writing
your page copy, articles, writing squeeze pages, writing e-mails, writing product copy,
writing sales pages, ALL require mastering copywriting skills. Find a copywriting business
coach that has a proven track record in Internet marketing and direct marketing. Develop
your own style of writing, just like talking to your best friend face to face. Practice,
practice, practice. This is a critical step you must learn.
5. You Don't Need a Lot of Software, a few carefully selected, necessary software tools
is all you will initially need. Site design, Keyword Software, Article Submission Software,
Directory Software, Auto-Responder Software, is enough to get you off to a flying start.
