Work At Home Business Opportunity Online

Many people have the impression that starting a home based business will cost a lot of money, or may require some sort of small business loan. However, it is possible work at home part time and start with little to no cash, as long as you own or have access to a computer (with internet connection). Your local university/community college or library can usually provide you with this. If you have access to these facilities, then guess what?! You can literally get started with nothing!

Now notice I said you can start your home based business with little to no MONEY – but it will take an INVESTMENT. You must invest your time, energy, skills, and a little bit of sweat equity. As long as you are really willing to spend the time and research necessary to build your business every day – you will succeed.

One way to do this is by setting up a free lens at Squidoo and marketing other people’s products. Step-by-step instructions for setting up your lens is included when you join Squidoo. Another idea (if you have a small amount of capital to invest) is to set up a blog at Blogger or WordPress. Both of these sites are free to set up, however you will have to purchase your own domain name which you can do for as little as .99 cents at a domain site (GoDaddy is a good one). Basically, what you will be doing is marketing other people’s products either on your blog (with the domain of your choice) or a Squidoo lens (which is just another word for page) and earning a commission on each and every sale you make. This is with no investment on your part, except for the time it takes to advertise your blog or lens. Read the rest of this entry »

Here are some writing fears and some solutions.

1) I was not good at English.

Put your grammar and punctuation fears to rest. Readers want you to have a good grasp of grammar, punctuation and of course the English language, but they do not expect perfect. They care about the material.

2) I am not a writer.

You only need 250 words for most article sites. You can have less than that for your blog. You can create videos, but 250 words is not much. With five short paragraphs you can get close.

3) What if I write like others?

Be yourself, do not copy the writings of another blogger or article author, that is called plagiarism. Do not steal images others bought or created themselves. Your voice and unique touch is what people want. When you research, take a break after to make certain what you write is in your own voice.

4) I am not as good a writer as…

You may feel your unique voice is not worthy, but the reason there are so many soda choices is because people have different things they like. Your unique voice will be right for the right people.

5) I can not write that much.

Start with an introductory paragraph, tell your readers what you are going to cover. Use the next three to explain in greater detail. Answer the Who, what, when, where, why and how that people may ask about what you are covering. Then write a conclusion to summarize it.

6) I do not know enough.

When you were in second grade you knew more than a first grader. With any niche you know more than someone who just came into it.

7) I will not know enough to keep writing.

Think when you started in your niche, write what you wish you had known. Write about what problems you have had and how you conquered them. Answer questions people have about your niche.

I will not have the right answer.

Do a little bit of research. See if you can find an answer if not, find alternatives that you know.

9) What if I still do not have enough material?

Remember people have different points of view or slightly different problems and try to cover those. Discuss advantages, disadvantages and comparisons.

10) I do not have time to write.

Spend 30 minutes each day. Alternatively you can spend 3 hours one day writing. You just need a little time. Write one post a week, one article, one page of a report each week. At the end of a year you will have 52 blog posts, 52 articles and at least five reports. Imagine how that would feel!
