A home business ideas are based around working from home for many types and needs. Mums, out-of-work people, extra income, even the young.
So you want an idea for a home business
The list is so long I could write a book about it, well I did actually and you can get it for free here.
The first thing to do is look at what you are good at, or even want to try.
Old-age jobs v New age jobs
You have all your traditional stuff, like fixing things, growing things and making things.
The difference now in how you market them.
A local Facebook post can get more hits than a note at the local Deli.
Any marketing can link to a webpage so that everything can be explained in full and you can get contact details.
Letterbox drops, signs, waving flags whatever you want to use.
Most home businesses are now run by and on the internet
This brings in an interesting new job range. Teaching or coaching on Social media, web pages, SEO, Keywords, emailing or any of the new users of the net.
If you are not up to these terms you need to advance your skills.
Instead of renting a shop you can have an online shop and sell other people’s products investing very little money.
You can be an affiliate marketer for millions of products selling but not delivering, billing or supporting. Just getting paid, sometimes every month for years to come.
It is easy to learn about Internet home businesses
Full training is available for free, all you need to apply is time and you can be an expert in a chosen Niche.
This will open your eyes to countless opportunities without leaving the comfort of your home, plus, more importantly spending a whole heap of money.
If you wish to have any sort of home business you need to have internet activity.
In fact, any business needs to invest in the latest activities available to them.
A basic email newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, broadcast services, Retargeting, paid advertising, webPages and funnels.
The exciting part is that each of these can be a business on its own. Local businesses outsource a lot of the new Internet activity
How do you learn about the internet for small businesses and the best ways to make money?
There are many sources of learning on the net. You can Google all day chasing ideas and get sucked into paying out a lot of funds. Or, you can follow my lead to what I believe is a training source above all others and Is free.
I stumbled upon this several years ago and have in fact done the course twice. The first time I skipped over a lot of content because I thought I knew it all.
I have operated a home business for nearly 8 years, in fact, several home businesses and have built on my past history in Small business.
I started my internet journey to learn about web pages and moved to email, Social media SMS and bulk marketing. Without the internet, small business will have trouble surviving.
This is your opportunity to build a career.

Another in a similar background has an online business operating from a fixed location. She came from Nursing to the internet by learning in her part-time. What’s more after establishing a full online point-of-sale business she was able to consult to others to set up their businesses.
At Wealthy Affiliate, you can follow many others crafting a full-time income.

A 20-something dropout student that now teaches and mentors others to bring home a working income. He posted a $40, 000 income day for a training course in Mandarin he launched in Korea
today.
Others come from the impoverished backyards of Kenya to the suburban Jungle of New York all achieving wonderful results on the net.
If they can do it you can too
You need to pick your online business.
Nor everyone is the same, some of you will want a traditional business because the internet scares you
and it has passed you by.
By the way, I am 74 years old, a lifetime in small business and 10 years on the internet so we are never too old.
If you want a traditional business do a plan, and work out who your customers are and how you will reach them. What you do matters not. Without customers you have nothing and without a plan, you have nowhere to go so start from the ground up.
- Work out what you are good at.
- What is your customer profile?
- Where is your marketing area
- How are you going to contact them
- Why are you doing this? Money or prestige.
- Set in place a system to follow.
Then follow the system and modify it when required.
Working on the Internet is different but the same
- What part of the internet interest you?
- Build a customer profile of a target market
- Which contact methods will you use
- Upskill your abilities so you are the expert
- Do a plan and a cash flow
- Understand that
everything takes time
I work at both a traditional business and an online business so what do I prefer?
The traditional business has regular demands on my time and expertise on any given working day.
I cannot absolve my liability to the business.
Whereas the online business can be put off for a day or more at any time.
If you have no particular skill sets the internet provides an opportunity
Still to this day most businesses have skill shortages on the net. Furthermore, they don’t have the time or energy to upskill.
By choosing an Internet Niche you can quickly become the local expert and ply your trade to businesses in the area.
With my online business, my local area is the world. I teach and offer training and a blog to small businesses everywhere. My background and skills allow me to do this.
By following my blog Newbusinessonline
There are well over 200 articles that you can search on just about any subject you can think of regarding small business.
Where do I learn the internet?
Yes, I love Wealthy affiliate because it can be free. it is al inclusive and it will answer any question you can ask.
