Internet Home Based Business Opportunities!

Internet home based business opportunities! Whoa: Make it do what it do, baby!

Right now there seem to be a million “internet home based business” opportunities on the web. Do a search and see for yourself. Tell me how many you find in the space of 20 minutes.

Recently I clicked on Google Good Keyword Tools and found some mind-blowing results. During the month of March 2009 alone there were a decent 60, 500 for keyword search phrase “internet home based business”: And that’s just local. There’s got to be a solid reason for this high volume of searches.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to crunch these numbers. At a glance they should tell you the need for internet home based businesses is on the rise. It stands to reason, doesn’t it? The figures did not go back to the months of January or February. But this recent economic downturn is opening up new doors in our lives.

I jumped in and started swimming before crunch time in the economic downturn. I didn’t do any surfing prior to my involvement with internet home based business. I learned about the one I chose through a friend. He sent me a link in my email, I clicked on it, and voila. I’m in like flint.

My internet home based business is ranked highly on the list of favorites. It is known as the BiB (Business in a Box) with Carbon Copy Pro.

Jay Kubassek and the crew have done a killer job to set up their turnkey full marketing system. It’s incredible what they have accomplished. Their goal is to raise 100 millionaires in 4 years; and let me tell you this. They’ve made a believer out of me.

I hopped onboard with CC Pro a couple of months ago, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. It is really unbelievable how the system works. And let us not speak of the Compensation Plan. Hang in there, baby. Stick with it and learn it. Not many of the home based internet businesses offer an upfront payment of a thousand dollars per sale on first level product. That’s why I said “stick with it”. My bank manager might soon get to know me on a first name basis, my friend. And what’s nice to know is that you can do it too.

I love not having to drive across town to sit in a classroom, or attending weekly business opportunity meeting. No more inviting strangers to my house. No wondering if I’ll return home to find items missing.

CC Pro frequently conducts conference calls and webinars. The training is not built around the “old rah-rah” excitement “Go-get-em-dog” "3-foot rule" principles. Carbon Copy Pro is a total deluxe internet home based business.

Naturally I’m still in the trenches, learning how to use the ammunition. So I don’t intend to come across like a high-rolling internet home business owner. Although my goal is $50k a month in a couple of years: I wouldn’t deceive anyone.

I’m not an overnight millionaire in my internet home based business: Far from it. For me it is a sharp up-swinging learning curve. The biggest mountain I have to climb is the technical side; the actual hands-on branding me, and marketing the product to the millions of people who surf the web daily.

Marketing! Even if you have a peanut size idea of what internet marketing is, it's still good. The idea of branding yourself might be something new to you?

Years ago the word branding was used to describe the act of distinguishing cattle. With a red hot poker, ranch owners and cowboys seare logo in the cows' hides. But like everything else, the word branding has taken on a new meaning. It is currently used in regards to advertise a distinctive design, to link consumers with specific manufacturers, and to link customers with you as a unique product.

To brand yourself means to establish you (the internet business owner) as an authority in your area of expertise. It defines you as a leader in the business and has nothing to do with hot metal pokers, cowboys, and logos.

Branding is done through writing blogs, articles, creating videos, and offering information of value to the consumer. When you help them to identify their problems, offer working solutions to these problems, and assist in stoning their enemies, they will be a friend for life.

Another form of branding is having your own personal website.

My old MLM companies gave me a web site that branded them and their products: not me. My picture or my voice was nowhere to be seen or heard on their sites. My name, email address, or a phone number might have appeared in a couple of places on the sites, and that was it. All the rest of the stuff was about them; not about me. They branded themselves; not me.

Not so with the latest wave of internet home based business ownership. One of the ways you brand yourself is by getting your own personal domain name, and following their instructions to set up the site. Case-in-point is MLM Lead Systems Pro.

MLM Lead System Pro is a lead generating internet home based business opportunity. The system is tailored to funnel visitors through a series of pages offering information on how to get FREE leads as well as paid leads for your business. Your business needs two things. You need more leads and more money.

For a minimal monthly cost ($1 for the first 14 days) MLM Lead System Pro will teach you all you need to know to set up your own system and get it running within a short space of time; even if you are new to the internet. There is a series of tutorial videos to walk you through the set-up process.

A big challenge for me was videotaping. As good as I am at photography and speaking to audiences, videotaping was not ‘a walk in the park’. Parading alone in front a camera is a task of a different nature. There never seems to be enough rehearsal to confidently brand myself in this area of marketing. I’m getting better, however.

I use MLM Lead System Pro in tandem with Carbon Copy Pro . They work like ‘needle and thread’, ‘hand and glove’. They go great together to form the perfect internet home based business.

Networking a Home Based Business

It’s amazing what can be accomplished when two people plough together with the same goal in mind: networking a home business.

A quote from the Holy Bible tells us…

“If one can put a thousand to flight, two can put ten thousand to flight; and a triple-braided cord cannot be broken.” Voila! Networking a home base business was born.

In more recent times - some 50 years ago - a company called Amway seems to have captured the essence of this Biblical principle found in Deuteronomy 32: 30. Amway is one of the most successful names in networking a home based business.

The passage of the Scripture has not only been adopted by the iconic home based business leader, but it has also served to build other network home based businesses in the wake of the luminous giant.

Shining above the rest is a group of people who work together sharing the same purpose. Ultimately, together they accomplish more than one person who shoulders a burden alone. And to work alone at times can be a thankless chore.

Individuals who work alone for linear wages (money earned from hourly employment) generally earn enough money to pay the bills. Some folks call it running in the same spot: Trapped in the day-to-day chores of putting food on the table. You got to eat to live. By the sweat of your brow, you eat your bread.

It can be said that a bread winner who conducts a business from home could be classified as a ‘home based business owner’. But there is a difference between a self-employed person who works from home, and a network marketer who runs a home based business. As mentioned earlier, one person works for linear wages, while the other generally utilizes the skills and services of other like-minded people. Together they work tirelessly to create never-ending streams of residual income; the sweet money.

Money to a self-employed worker is just as sweet as residual income is to a network marketer. Self employed persons generally labor out of a personal need for accuracy and perfection. They maintain a mindset that says “If you want it done right, you’ve got to do it yourself.” Be that as it may, time and financial freedom are least on their agendas. They often work longer hours, and face more difficult tasks than if they worked for a large corporation. Granted the monetary pay-off might be somewhat higher in the long run. Those who are self-employed chose to work from home because of the savings that are involved, the flexibility of setting their own hours, and tax benefits.

However, not all home based businesses are equal. A person who works from home and faces the full brunt of responsibilities has placed him or herself in an exclusive job. Whereas, a person who makes a profit by scheduling the duties of others while operating from home, is running a true home based business.

Home based businesses have been in existance since the primitive age of bartering, when items were exchanged for goods and services. For example chickens were given for beans.

In modern times we use money. Instruments of cash have made it simpler for the purpose of trading. Instead of lugging around the globe with tons of gold and silver, we use paper currency or plastic credit cards. Whether you work in a virtual home based business or a brick and mortar environment, making a profit is the main focus.

But why have these home based businesses recently come to the forefront of attention? In today’s economic climes, millions of searches are being made on every internet search engine known to mankind – Google, Yahoo, MSN and so on. Surfers are seeking bona fide home based businesses. The reason for this apparent surge may be due to current worldwide economy.

With the recent economic downturn (the instability and unrest in the marketplace; high unemployment figures; dwindling 401K retirement accounts etcetera) people everywhere are looking for ways to protect themselves and their families from financial disaster. The downturn has become an epidemic of global proportions. And on the surface it appears the real answer will be found in ownership of a home based business.

But will a home based business provide the lasting answers? The answers to this question can be as numerous as there are people.

A large percentage of the populace still seems to cling to the old entitlement mentality. They are fully convinced that the government will take care of them during the twilight years of retirement. They continue to believe deep down that the world owes them a living. But these are a dreams of a darker shade; inevitable nightmares.

“You’ve got to have a dream” is a line from the old movie - South Pacific. Quite often, dreams take quite a bit of elbow grease to bring them to fruition. Except you are prepared to put forth the necessary effort to bring forth the required results, the project is doomed for failure. No matter how excited you were at the inception of the idea of owning a home based business, those emotions will not remain the everlasting impetus to continue growing your home based business.

But don’t get me wrong. I am not against owning a home based business. I am a home based business owner myself. And I can testify it is hard work. I put in a lot of elbow grease on a daily basis.

You've got to work at building your business everyday. The reason for failure in most home based businesses is due to the expectation of instant results – microwave results. Some people have guaged their expectations on what they heard or read of someone who make $50k a week. They expect money to literally fall into their laps out of thin air.

So ‘Why a Home Based Business’?

There are tremendous tax advantages in owning a home based business. Among them is time freedom, and a chance to earn residual income – like royalties. But Uncle Sam is not as kind as he used to be. He wants to know that you are running a bona fide business and not a hobby masquerading as a business. He needs to see accurate documentation. He needs to see the usual paraphernalia that goes along with business ownership: Papers of Incorporation; A Mission Statement; Company Vision; Projections, and accurate bookkeeping.

Lastly, you must consider what you are going to do with all the extra income. The answer to this would be to invest it.

I’ll tell you more about this at a later date.
