One of the challenges of working from home is how to draw the line between your personal and professional life. Family members (especially young children) may not understand that you're "busy" when you're just in the house, and may distract you right in the middle of an important call or letter. It may also be near impossible to stay organized and focused when your "work station" also happens to be the kitchen table, your bedroom, or the living room. The most important thing to remember is that you are still working. Like all office environments, you need structure and space. Find a room (preferably with a lock) and equip it with a desk, a comfortable chair, appropriate lighting, a phone, and computer equipment. You may also need a printer, fax, and depending on your business, a scanner. There are some hybrid products that combine these functions, and you can install software that will allow you to receive faxes on

Every entrepreneur, to achieve any amount of success, should be motivated. Action comes from passion. Every book published or e-book that deals in money making and motivation screams passion - the most important ingredient in any successful entrepreneur. Similarly, when you think about going after that extra money, you have to create a burning passion to do so. It will keep your fire glowing for a long time, at least till the first results become apparent. After that passion at a particular level keeps in rotation, after all money is the biggest motivator. An entrepreneur embarking upon the route of a home office and extra money should strongly believe in himself and his capabilities. He/She should be thick skinned not to be perturbed or affected in any way by others comments and opinions. People are just plain jealous. Clear conscience and trust in oneself does not look for ext

Traditional data entry requires one to either copy-paste certain text over and over again, continue to fill out simple forms, or something along those lines. It requires simple work that does not require much thinking, but rather a lot of repetitive tasks. You usually will not be asked for your opinions as you are in surveys or asked to "Tell Us What You Think". Data Entry jobs are plain and simple manual labor jobs. Hence, there are some people who will not mind doing them and can earn a lot of money quickly, while others will be miserable doing data entry. It is not for everyone. New Trend in Click Bank Product Data Entry Jobs Recently, there has been a growing trend in using click bank to find and advertise data entry programs.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a great shot of your item worth? More than you may think, especially if you're depending on your photos to help sell your items. Good quality product photographs can often mean the difference between an acceptance offer and a rejection notice, sale or no sale, etc... When you are selling your handcrafted products through websites, auctions and catalogs, you are depending on the photographs of your item to help grab the buyers attention. Your photos need to sizzle. Professional product photos are the best idea if you can afford it, but they can be expensive if you offer several handcrafted pieces. Don't worry. If you are operating on a shoestring budget, we've got you covered. We do not want our photos to scream "Amateur". Taking pictures on the kitchen ta

Why Did You Start Your Gift Basket Business? I originally started my Gift Basket Business because I wanted to make my life simpler. For years, I was spending over two hours a day commuting to a corporate job. I felt the need to channel my creative side, while still using my business experience. I wanted to have more hours at home with my children, and be in charge of my own success. How Did You Start Your Gift Basket Business? I researched the Gift Industry and Gift Basket business for several years before I finally took the plunge, and started my own business in a retail storefront. At the time, the internet was not the huge presence it is now, so I felt to reach the greatest number of customers, a retail setting would be best. The first three years were challenging in respect to learning how to manage inventory, marketin

You must realize that a small business must grow. If the buyer or owner can't find a way to grow the business, it will go down the drain. On the other hand, if the business can show a history of growth, it can be sold for a tidy sum. Most owners want to grow their business, but few truly understand their financial statements and balance sheets. These documents contain many hidden guidelines that can direct the owner toward proper management. Sit down with your accountant; read some books that cover the subject and you'll be a step ahead. If you are buying a small, growing successful business, don't worry about being "original." Do exactly what the seller has done-even if it doesn't make sense to you. I once sold a tire store where the seller had a ten foot tall stack of tires. It was braced from the inside not to fall over. He had a young boy sitting on top. It attracted the att

While promoting my website design business I contact many small and medium size enterprises who don't have a website. Sometimes it is the perceived cost of a website that puts them off, but more often it is the belief that no one will want to contact them via the internet. The same companies would be horrified at the thought of not being in the telephone directory, but they don't appreciate how pervasive the internet has become and how important it is to have a presence. Here are my 9 compelling reasons for having a website. Customer Expectations Customers expect to see you on the Internet. Many people (that's customers and potential customers) prefer to search for a company on the Internet rather than search their local Yellow Pages or newspaper. To many, a business that is not on the Internet
