How To Start An Internet Home Based Business

…and want to make consistently high profits!!! I will not say what website. I do not want to seem like I am asking this to advertise. I just want answers from successful people, who have success in this!

You don't ask a homeless man how to be a millionaire….

Here are the success factors in a retail website:

1. Ability to attract TARGETED traffic = you don't want any kind of traffic, but you want traffic that are actually interested in what you offer. Your traffic generation strategy should focus on what allowing you to get as much traffic as possible at the lowest cost that would be interested to buy whatever it is you are selling

This includes:

- knowing how to optimize your search pages to get good organic search engine rankings
- knowing how to maximize your pay per click strategy and improve results
- knowing how to build your brand
- knowing how to tap the media and press to raise awareness about your company

2. Ability to CONVERT visitors into buyers = you need to be obsessed with your conversion rate. From the "buy me" buttons to the categorization of products, every single thing on your website is a signal to a buyer and can spell the difference between browsing and buying

This includes:

- knowing how to build customer confidence in your business
- knowing how to maximize after sales opportunities
- knowing how to improve the overall buyer experience
- knowing how to improve product presentation (from the pictures to the sales copy)

How can I find people who are like minded and who see the big
picture in a business that can help them? I have a home based business, I Work from home and I set my own hours.
I am building a Network, NOT a Pryamid.
I have so much excitement and believe in direct marketing. This is
a great opportunity for people who would like to have control over
their own business.

hou.. yeah! sounds exciting, contact me..

I recently came across a program that GoToMyPCTech.com offers where basically you get a residual income off of people who are referred to them for online computer repairs. A turn-key system, in other words. I feel that in all likelihood that it's legitimate seeing as that there you don't have to pay anything for the program, but I just want to be certain.

Hard to say…

I would be a little more impressed if the copyright date on their web page were current to 2009!!! It's 2007.

It does look like one of those deals where you set up your own web site and then try to attract traffic to your site that THEY create and maintain for you. I would expect you have to pay THEM some initial web site creation FEE plus monthly web site hosting FEES.

Then, depending on your strategy, you have to figure out how to locate customers/companies and get them to your web site to order these PC repair services. Also, looks like there's a little MLM (multi level marketing) piece in there so if you get members set up underneath you, you get a piece of their service fees.

In general, there are many of these web site creation/hosting opportunities that are not technically SCAMS, but the amount of work to make these systems work is usually MUCH greater than what was expected. GoToMyPCTech may be a perfectly legitimate business model that works for you.

Many of your late night infomercials are based on this business model. Sounds great but when you start to check out the details, it takes a lot of work and time to get your sites created, pick your products, find your suppliers, set up the shopping cart details, currency issues with PayPal and others, get your site up high on Search Engine lists, etc…

All of these tasks are doable but usually each one requires more time and MONEY in which the company will be more than happy to do for you for the right price.

Good luck, do your research, read the fine print, and make sure you can get your money back immediately if the fine print says something different than your original understanding.

Some of these places say you have up to 2-3 weeks to get your money back but the fine print (and most state laws) require only 3 business days.

I need a second income, and my day shift job does not allow me to have a true second job. I am curious to know if there are any legitimate online work at home businesses.

Yes, and I have found one! If you want a REAL job with a corporate headquarters (located in Texas), not some mythical online office, with daily pay, dental benefits, 401(k) , direct deposit and more, check this out. You won’t get rich quick, but you will make a real residual income for years. Good luck and hope to see you on our team!

In addition to your own business cards, ask your family and friends and everyone you've ever done business with to make referrals for you. You might even consider (depending on what you do) giving people who give you business by referrals some sort of discount on your product or service.

And most importantly, make sure that you provide top-notch customer service and make people feel like they're really getting a good product or service for their money. If you do that, the referrals will come naturally.

I tried many home based business web sites such as www.365jobs4u.com. Even though I dedicate myself in my work & worked perfectly I never received any single paisa payment from these websites. I loosed my deposit payment & time. Anyone know good & genuine websites or ideas for home based computer jobs [without any UPFRONT DEPOSIT / PAYMENT]?(sridheepa@yahoo.com)

You posted this question twice, how come? I already gave you a place on your other questions with a list of half a dozen different industries to look into.

I’m looking for some legitimate ways to make money online. I really want to be able to make some money from home to help me with the state of the economy. Please let me know of some legitimate ways to make money online without having to pay anything. I am also not looking for anything that is a scam because that seems to be all that I can find online these times. Please let me know of some websites that any of you have tried and are known to easily work. Thanks in advance and your help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have to pay anything, it is a scam

However, do some research online there are some legitimate companies that want “cyber” agents. You must have an office in your home, high speed interenet, and a landline.

My business recently went under and has left me stuggling financially. I have since taken a job which requires 50 hours per week and pays decent money but i have a stack of debts and need extra income. I would love to know of any good ways of earning extra income from home at nights.
Please no silly answers as this is a serious question as I have 3 dependants and a home to try and keep. I would be grateful for any ideas

Sell on ebay. Go to blanket depot and government liquidation to get products. Do research first to make sure you can sell at a profit. Sell stuff from your house that you don't use or is in an attic.

Opportunity can be staring them dead in the face, but they will not take that step because people chicken out. Network marketing is an excellent way to get rich because there is RESIDUAL INCOME. (money that you make whether you work or not!!!)

Probably don't want to take the risks involved in owning their own business.

Please provide all the details like investment, product/services sales, growth rate etc.

I recommend you do a little research with the Business Opportunity Search Engine. Being community driven it’s a cross between a search engine and a Wikipedia. You can add, delete and improve the results for much more focused answers than a general search engine can provide. http://www.BusinessOpportunitySearchEngine.com
