So you want to work from home. Now that you have made that decision, you might think that it is all smooth sailing and that there is nothing you are going to have to worry about as you make your way into the work at home job market. Not true! Working from home might be great once you get going, but in order to get to the point where it is going to be worth it, you are going to have to do some grunt work and do a lot of it, before it pays off.
The first thing that you need to do is make a clear decision about what exactly you are going to be doing. You need to have a clear idea about what market you are going to go after and you need to make a decision about how you are going to get that market and conquer it in the best way that you know how. Once you know what it is that you are going to do, you need to begin marketing yourself. Whether this means advertising your business or taking care of your portfolio, you need to make sure that people know what you do and that you can do it well.
Don’t expect to be able to simply start receiving a large pay check working from home on the first day. It might take you awhile to fully get a grasp on what the job market is and to begin making some connections when it comes to your field. The most important thing that you can do is to make sure that you have a good example of what you can do and that you have it accessible online. Whether this means that you are going to develop a website or an online portfolio, you need to get that done right away so you can start to apply for jobs and/or finding customers. So, the most important thing about finding work at home is to make sure that you have a place where potential clients can look at what you can do and can hire you if they’d like.
After you know what you want to do and have taken steps to begin that process, you need to start to apply for jobs. This might mean that you visit many different job boards each day and apply for as many of the jobs that you think you can do as possible. Or, it might mean that you visit job boards and other boards and recruit clients for your business. Whatever it is that you need to do, the important thing is to get your name out there and to get started.

How To Earn An Income Working From Home In Your PJ’s
How To Earn An Income Working From Home In Your PJ’s

Have you being dreaming of not having to get up early in the morning and fight your way into the subway to get to your workplace? If you are sick and tired of being squashed inside the subway on your way to work, you should start exploring other ways of earning income without having to deal with the daily traffic or the subway rush. If you do not want to fight the traffic or get squashed between bodies of people during rush hours in the subway, you better consider a home based business internet income as an alternative. The good thing about a home based business internet income is that you can simply stay at home and work in your pajamas if you wanted to.
Working at home means you make your own rules. Since you have control over your working hours, you can start as early or as late as you want. Nobody will mark you late or dock your pay if you wake up late and don’t start on time. The only thing that you will need to deal with when working at home and having a home based business internet income is yourself. You should understand that when you do not have the right work discipline, you might not really earn enough income to pay for your bills and keep yourself comfortable. On the other hand, if you are one of those very hard working people who wouldn't mind putting in extra time and efforts on what you do, you could really earn a good deal of money through an online business.
Setting up your own rules and work schedules
One of the things that you will need to consider when you have a home based business internet income is to set up your work rules and schedules. You must always bear in mind that you will need to follow some set of rules to attain maximum productivity. Although nobody will really call your attention if you do not put in enough time on your work, you will soon find out that you will not have enough money to pay all your bills if you do not work diligently on your online business.
When setting up your work rules and schedules, you should make sure that you commit yourself to follow your own rules and work schedules. It will not do you any good at all if you just draw up rules and work schedules and then simply put it off to the side. If you make rules and schedules, make sure that you follow everything that you have written there. To help encourage yourself to follow your own rules and work schedules, you should set your target income for the month. Setting a target income for the month will help encourage you to put in more time and effort on your business especially when you see that you are still far from your target income. On the other hand, if you have a target income for the month, you can reward yourself with a day off if you are already able to meet your targets well ahead of time.
Planning and sticking to your plan will help you succeed in your home based internet business. Take a few minutes and write out your plan now.

10 Reasons Why People Don't Buy From You
10 Reasons Why People Don't Buy From You
Copyright © Glen Walls
http://glenwalls.payitforward4profits.com
1. You don't make people feel safe when they order.
Remind people that they are ordering through a secure
server. Tell them you won't sell their e-mail address
and all their information will be kept confidential.
2. You don't make your ad copy attractive. Your ad
lists features instead of benefits. The headline does
not attract at your target audience. You don't list any
testimonials or guarantees included in your ad.
3. You don't remind people to come back and visit.
People usually don't purchase the first time they visit.
The more times they visit your site, the greater the
chance they will buy. The most effective way is to give
them a free subscription to your e-zine.
4. You don't let people know anything about your
business. They will feel more comfortable if they know
who they are buying from. Publish a section called
"About Us" on your web site. Include your business
history, profile of employees, contact information etc.
5. You don't give people as many ordering options as
possible. Accept credit cards, checks, money orders,
and other forms of electronic payments. Take orders
by phone, e-mail, web site, fax, mail, etc.
6. You don't make your web site look professional.
You want to have your own domain name. Your web
site should be easy to navigate through. The graphics
should be related to the theme of your web site.
7. You don't let people read your ad before they get
your freebie. When you use free stuff to lure people
to your web site include it below your ad copy or on
another web page. If you list the freebie above your
ad they may never look to see what you're selling.
8. You don't attract the target audience that would
buy your product or service. A simple way to do
this is to survey your existing customers to see what
attracted them to buy. This information will help
you improve your target marketing and advertising.
9. You don't test and improve your ad copy. There
are many people who write an ad copy and never
change it. You have to continually test and improve
your ad copy to get the highest possible response
rate.
10. You don't give people any urgency to buy now.
Many people are interested in your product but they
put off buying it till later and eventually forget about
it. Entice them to buy now with a freebie or discount
and include a deadline date when the offer ends.

Do You Want To Work At Home
Do You Want To Work At Home
Copyright © Glen Walls
http://glenwalls.payitforward4profits.com
Perhaps Self-Employment Or Telecommuting Will Make It
Possible!
The typical dream image of the person working at home almost always involves pink fuzzy slippers, an over sized coffee mug, and a relaxed atmosphere. Yet not all that glitters is gold, and there are some very serious pitfalls that have to be avoided in order to make working at home a profitable reality for anyone who is willing to give it a try. To this end, there are usually two avenues available to anyone ready to give it a go: self employment and telecommuting. While both of these options will allow you to stay at home in pursuit of profit, they each have their pitfalls, and before you decide to embark on either one of them, make sure that you weigh the pros and cons!
For example, while so many late night commercials are filled with smiling mothers who are seeing their little ones off to school only to return home at a leisurely pace to sell a product for an international company. Quite often this product is a nutritional supplement for weight loss, beauty, or overall health. What the commercials fail to mention is the fact that some of these supplements are dangerous to people with certain ailments, and the fear of not making a sale will quite often put blinders on anyone trying to make a living while earning only straight commissions. If you are a self-employed representative for such a supplement company, the odds are good that in case of a problem a customer will come looking to you as well as the company for compensation. Unless you have taken proper legal steps to protect your home and assets, you may end up losing everything you have
worked so hard to achieve!
While this may make you consider telecommuting, keep in mind that this field has its pitfalls as well. For example, while your boss in the office will appreciate your hard work and dedication when she or he sees you burning the midnight oil to get a project finished, she or he will most likely not have a lot of appreciation for you when you do the same thing at home. Conversely, if you do manage to achieve the almost impossible deadlines while telecommuting, the odds are good that you will be facing tighter and tighter deadlines. Since you are most likely not an hourly employee, this means that you may end up working 20 hours in one day, and still only get paid what you normally would. As you can see, it does not add up to profit.
To this end, sit down and find out exactly what it will take to make your work at home dream a profitable reality. Do not too quickly lunge at an opportunity that at second glance is little more than an anchor weighing you down.
