Making Your Home Based Business Profitable!
Running your own profitable home based business is a
piece of cake. Right?
You've probably heard how easy it is on the internet to
rake in tens of thousands of dollars practically over
night, and how you can have all kinds of "free time" and
extra cash for traveling and shopping at your favorite
store...
Just throw up an internet web site, add a few affiliate
links, post to some forums and presto - you're in the
money!
But the reality is this. If you want to succeed in
profitable home based businesses,
whether it's affiliate marketing or selling your own
products, you will have to work at making it successful.
You have to make it your job to succeed. You must treat
it as your job, not as your hobby.

It's great to think that with just a few easy strokes
you'll be running on auto-pilot, bringing in loads of
cash and then on to the next venture. But without some
simple planning and consistent effort you're setting
yourself up for failure.
Here are a few tips to help you get started.
1. Stay Organized
Set up folders in your email client.
You should set up a folder for each contact and keep
important correspondence while deleting what you don't
need. If you belong to membership sites that require
passwords, keep the "welcome" letters where you can find
them. |

Set up folders on your desktop.
If you download a lot of software, ebooks or PDF books
from specific individuals simply name a folder on your
desktop after the author or site owner. Then when you
download something you can place it in their folder.
Make your own HTML home page.
For quick and easy access to all your important sites
make up an HTML page with hyperlinks to your most
frequently used sites along with a brief explanation of
each site. Keep it on your desktop for easy access.
2. Stay Focused
Set aside a specific time for work.
It could be from 7pm-9pm every day or whatever time's
good for you. During this time do not get distracted
from doing only what needs to be accomplished for your
business. Try to use the same time slot every day so you
get into a routine and get used to the working mindset.
Save the surfing for another time.
Set aside a work space.
Make sure that all your friends and family know that
when you're in your work area you're off limits! No
one's to bother you.
Finish one task before starting another.
As the old saying goes, "Put one foot in front of the
other." Don't start working on something new until the
first task is completely finished.
3. Be Consistent
a. Work the ideas that "work."
When you find something that works well for you, work it
hard and get as much out of it as possible. If you're
submitting articles to a certain site and they're paying
dividends, keep feeding the cycle.
b. Learn from failure.
Don't get discouraged. Each failure's just a learning
process. Use any failure to your advantage by taking the
lesson and applying it to your next venture.
c. Test, test, and more test.
Always test headlines and ad copy. A small change can
reap huge rewards.
With these few simple steps, you will stay organized,
stay focused, be consistent in your efforts and build a
solid foundation on which you can build your internet
empire!
After all, you are the one who will ultimately determine
the success or failure of your business!
