Create Your Own On-line Business Blueprint
In his book, How To Understand Economics In One Hour Marshall Payn comments, "...the basics of economics are so simple. It's just that other forces infiltrate economics and make it a puzzle rather than the science it is."
In our nation today, there are a host of other forces impeding on the family economy. If you work for someone else in the corporate or service sector, you may face company downsizing, budget cuts, and/or new taxes that eat into your take-home pay. Beginning your own company does have a certain appeal but even more headaches, regulations, long hours, uncertain income, and the ever-present taxes - it's just that your name is on the office door.
You have probably asked yourself dozens of times, "what can I do to make ends meet without taking a second job or going back to a costly and time-consuming degree?"
One possibility I would like to introduce is an online business. Yes you are still the owner and there are no "over-night million-dollar miracles," but creating your own business online is a viable and relatively simple option.
The basic model isn't overly complex. Find something you love, anything you love, and let the world in on your secret. You might start with a blog about your hobby, interest, or business. Share tid-bits on Twitter or Facebook. Invite others to see your blog. You might even write online or print articles.
Often another good way to start is by writing an eBook, a short, "how-to" document. What are the top eight or ten or twelve things everyone who want to excel at "X" should know? There are a number of sites from which you can post your eBook for others to purchase. You can even promote your eBook through articles and social media.
You can also create content for others to purchase - a step-by-step lesson outline on CDs or via video downloads. Furthermore, you can interview another expert in your field and collect the webinars as content. Thus creating a home-study course is a positive way to generate income while sharing your passion.
As your online business grows so will your outreach. Creating a package of content might lead to affiliate marketers picking up you brand and spreading the word about your product worldwide. Remember, the Internet is global and open twenty-four hours a day, year round.
Where to start? Begin with your business plan: What do you hope to achieve monetarily and within what timeframe? What are your interests? How can you support and market your business idea? Where can you find guidance and assistance for your dream to become reality?
A number of entrepreneurial support and educational sites, forums, and communities do exist. When you get hung up, drop into the entrepreneur forum. Ask advice or give some of your own. You might even find someone willing to conduct a joint venture (collaborate on a project with you).
The economy is very difficult for millions of households. Creating your own home business is a viable and potentially lucrative option for tough economic times. Where else can you influence and interact with a global market doing what you love while prospectively earning a comfortable income.
