Home Based Business Advice

Advice for setting up or up-grading your home based business:

One important consideration is having a location in your home that is dedicated to your home based business. You can use this as a tax write off, which includes a % of square footage and then divides that up for a percent of heat, lights, water, etc. but the space must be for you home based business only. So if you do not have a room, then mark out an area that is Business ONLY to keep our friendly tax person happy.

Install a phone line dedicated to your home based business.

Decide on an answering service and in most cases it is required to have a 1-800 number for someone to take you seriously.

Organize your work space with great care. Make sure that you have sufficient space to meet your needs. Have what you need within reach and an excellent filing system as well as backup system for your PC.

If needed for your type of business, when scheduling appointments with clients, consider meeting at your client’s office or renting a conference room to maintain a professional image. Or learn the new up to date technology of conferencing on the computer. It is fairly easy and not expensive if you use the right services.

Keep excellent records of entertainment and travel expenses. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tends to audit home based businesses more frequently—especially when they are writing off a variety of expenses, including the percentage of the mortgage or rent for your office space.

There are several good record keepers such as Day Timer®, Franklin Quest® and Day Planner that will help you keep track of your expenses. Use of an accountant or a CPA is recommended and can advise you on deductions you can take and records you must keep for the IRS. Talk with them before or early on in your business so that you are starting your record keeping off on a good track.

Set up an LLC so that your home assets and banking are completely separate from your home based business. It is easy and inexpensive for a lawyer to do it for you. Well worth the security.

Open a Business Banking account with your business name LLC on the checks.

As soon as possible also get two credit cards with your business name LLC

Set up a SAVINGS ACCOUNT for your home based business, remember keep it in a business LLC account. Build it up because when you least expect it, you will need it.

Develope your computer system, proper programs and decide who will handle your repairs and help as you need it. Check out their service and if possible talk to referrals. Do NOT just trust the Big Computer Stores to be there for you. You are usually not a person to them, just a broken piece of equipment and you go into the ‘Q’. Trust me; a good computer person on your team is worth their weight in Gold. A good 2nd PC lap top that can multi task can be a life saver.

Discipline yourself. You must be a self-starter and follow a routine, just as if you were working for any other business. In many cases, you are the only person you can rely on to get the job done. Unless it’s an emergency, do not baby-sit or chat with your neighbors.

There are literally thousands of people entering into a Home Based Business due to the sagging economy, massive business layoffs, and whole industries vanishing as work moves overseas. Families are needed in the past a second income for those little extras; families now need a steady income they can count on. I strongly suggest diversification (never put all your eggs in one basket).

Now it is time to look at a business …. Might I suggest you look at Its Good Business.
It is solid, easy to work with (notice I didn’t say you don’t need to work) but we do work on a TEAM basis and you have a mentor to help you firm up how you want to work your internet Home Based Business. This is a very flexible business giving you many ways to make a good income and have freedom to be with your family and friends.

Home Based Business

Internet home based business is an ever-changing world. To make progress, you must change. Thanks to Information Technology and the Internet, Internet home based business is a fast growing opportunity. Working people look towards freedom of time and control of their financial success.

Many people are under the impression that starting a home based business on the Internet is very difficult. Well, that is not entirely true. If it becomes difficult, it is because you made it difficult. Ok, listen up folks; starting an Internet home-based business is relatively simple, but making a consistent income with an online business is another story all together. Starting an Internet home based business without making a business plan which includes budgets is the first step towards disaster. Having step by step goals and a plan of how much is to be spent at each stage is most important. You would be well advised to start slowly, on a part time basis. Learn the ropes and before you know it you will be saying goodbye to your job and on the road to financial freedom.

Starting an Internet home based business is really exciting and starting it is easy if you follow the right process. Starting an online business is just like starting a traditional business offline; you have to invest in time and money. Fortunately, the costs to start with a business online are much less than when starting a traditional business offline.

Starting out with a work at home business is not as easy as it may seem, but not hard either. The truth is that you will not make money as soon as you start a home based business. It takes time and patience like anything else in life. Start your network marketing home based business with well thought out plans and goals. Starting any home based business opportunity requires research, information and contingency planning. That is the modus operandi of success business owners or any endeavor you embark on.

My motto; do what is right because Its Good Business.

Our guest writer today is Tana Hamiter and she has an informative article on watching out for scams. If you do your homework and follow some of the tips that Tana mentions you should be able to avoid the scams.

Make Money Online: Avoid the Scams

As the Internet grows and our economy worsens, more and more people are searching for ways to make money online. One thing these people must be aware of are the numerous scams that look like legitimate business opportunities. However, many people will mistakenly view the legitimate opportunities as something else, specifically as scams. This has become a very wide-spread and serious issues among the legitimate businesses on the Internet. The problem is that so many people have been taken by the scam artists that they view all computer based opportunities as nothing more than scams, and the media attention that such incidents receive seem to give credence to this belief. This is so far from the truth.

The difficult part of the process for most people is to determine what are the scams and what are the genuine business opportunities. It is difficult to tell one from the other without doing proper research and using your common sense. Network Marketing, MLM and Franchise Marketing are legitimate as work from home business models which allow people to make money online. But there are always those who have to turn good programs into something that fills their greed. Learn to read between the lines. You can, with consistent work, learning your industry which includes how to market on the Internet and Search Engine Optimizing (SEO), treat your business as a real business and not a hobby that is an on again off again effort.

Our world is far from perfect and there will always be those who want to cheat others to get their money. This was true even before the Internet, but it is even a greater problem today with the availability of technology in almost every home and people searching for ways to make money online. What are some of the SCAMS to watch out for? Some of the most common have been around for a long time, as they say another want something for nothing person is born every minute. The pyramid schemes try to get you to invest in their company but they do not sell products. They just promise that if you do the same you will make large amounts of money. A true online work from home business will be offering products or services and normally of very high quality.

Some scams go for the big dollars right from the start. Be very cautious of these types of so called business opportunities. These companies require you to buy large inventories and encourage your down line to do the same. The amount of product that moves through distributors is extremely high but with very few people who are not distributors are buying retail. That amounts to loading up on a garage full of products and talking people into duplicating your efforts. These are a bad choice for your home business. Just look to see if they are more interested in you stocking your garage or in finding clients that want the products. It is impossible to make money online doing this, so do not even give it a second thought.

Another popular method in the world of scams are the companies that look for big orders up front then send you an important correspondence. All of the items you have ordered have been placed on back-order. It’s more than difficult to make money online when you can’t even get products. Or have you seen the ones that make outrageous claims. If their ads sound too good to be true, they probably are not. Yet, I have seen several companies with outstanding products that at first glance I would have rejected as scams. It is wise to talk with others who are in the business and have nothing to gain by talking with you.

What is the best way to avoid the scams? One word: RESEARCH! Don’t be lazy and simply believe the people you are communicating with as you search for ways to make money online. Do your research and ask a lot of questions. Be wise and take your time to think about the business. Whenever someone is pressuring for an instant decision, you need to put them on the SCAM list. Do not be discouraged, just as in buying a house you would check the foundation. When exploring an online work from home business, get your questions answered and listen to your feelings. Let your head and heart both be involved in your decision. See you at the Top!
