I look around and find employment figures are no better today than two months ago.
Unemployment seems to be the norm and employment is a rare entity.
Know your on your own, so how about Self Employment? I would like to make a few suggestions and outline some self employment, virtual business, and cash generating ideas.
Everyone knows if you own your own business you are all set in life.
Right? What a bunch of lies that is.
What is true is that you are "On Your Own".
You can truly say that you have a very responsible position...
you are responsible for everything.
You will succeed or fail by your own hand.
So let's outline a couple of self employment business start up ideas.
Start with my (there are no bad ideas) list.
I call it that because no matter how ridicules I might think something is I still put it on the list.
Some people call this brain storming.
After the list I sat down and picked out two no three ideas that I really liked.
I researched each idea carefully and made another list of what I liked and did not like about my choices.
Ex.
(all of these are self employment ideas) Making invoices for small businesses in my area so the owners could spend more time growing their business.
Writing e-books and selling them through networks and affiliates.
Perhaps affiliate marketing or networking marketing.
This should give you some idea of choices that are out there.
Sorry I did not put them in numerical order but for our purpose I did not think it would be needed.
Now research a business plan.
Don't start without one.
Do the research into your idea and put it in writing.
A business plan is nothing more than a summary of your business idea and the financial statements to back it.
Remember if you can put your self employment idea in writing and you still think it looks good, chances are that it is.
Keep in mind that business is about selling products, ideas or services.
What else could it be? You will find that you are on our own when it comes to finding customers.
You will need to have all the product knowledge and you will have to know your business.
You are self employed and now your on your own when it comes to doing research.
You have to identify your market by knowing your target market.
I can not get into much more here due to space limitations.
Just remember in the brick and mortar world you have heard that success can depend on location, location, location in this virtual self employment world it is research, research, research.
You are on your own now so put a good self employment business plan together and enjoy your success.
