Who hasn’t thought of working from home? We’ve all had that dream at some time (usually on a Monday morning whilst commuting to work!).
With the maturity of the internet, building a home based internet business is becoming a reality for many people. However there is something you should know before you start on your exciting journey to a new life.
I’ve been successfully running a home based Internet business now for over 6 years and I’ve a few good tips that help keep me on track. Let me share them with you.
Get organised.
You are setting up a business, so you really need to be organised. Ideally set aside a room as your office. Stock it with all the items you need. Computer and printer are obvious! However think about stationary and filing. I have a whiteboard next to my PC which I use to write important to do’s. I also have a calendar with all the important dates (eg: when tax documents are due etc).
Be disciplined.
It’s easy to get side tracked working from home. There are so many other things that attract your attention. It’s easy to find you have the perfectly kept house but a failing internet business, so stay focussed on your business. It’s another good reason for allocating a room as an office. You can shut the door and really focus on your internet business.
Family and Friends
If you work at home, it’s easy for Family and Friends to think you are available for other things. “As you are at home today, can you pick up the shopping” etc. It can be really frustrating how working from home can be seen as not a “proper” job. Keep to strict business hours and spend the time working on your internet business. If you waste that time you will just reinforce any prejudices that you aren’t really doing a proper job.
Getting your website noticed takes time
When building a home based internet business you need to accept that getting noticed by the search engines can take months, especially if you are using a new domain. Using Pay per Click can get immediate results but if can be costly if you get it wrong. In the KKSmarts forum we have a Google Adwords Beginners Guide. It will save your time and money.
Learn about keywords
Keywords are king. If you aren’t using keywords properly on your website then you are in serious trouble. Get keywords right and you will sail ahead of the competition. A well optimised website using the right keywords for your internet business will reward you time and time again.
Do it yourself Optimisation
There are many companies offering optimisation services. This might be ideal if you really don’t have the time or the inclination. However it can cost you some serious money and it’s not always successful. There are quite a few so called “experts” who are talking a lot of rubbish.
Optimising your website really is easy. You can do it yourself and once you’ve learnt the tricks you really are the best person to do. You know your business. You know your customers and so you know what words they are likely to use to find you.
And finally
Above all enjoy the journey. Enjoy building a home based internet business.
