You must have a professional office set up in your home with all the equipment and supplies needed, when running a home-based business. An unprofessional working environment will not help you get motivated to work every day. If your new to Home Business don’t go overboard in your office set up.  A business phone line, computer, printer will be a great start.  If video marketing is in your marketing mix, a simple video camera is all that is necessary.  For a great start, invest in some “Tools”.  Look at my “Tool Box” above for some suggested tools.

As you start your business, send emails to loved ones and co-workers about what you’re doing. Offer an incentive to help your business get off of the ground. Encourage people to spread the news about your business. When people spread your name in a positive manner it can be extremely effective.

Did you know that your Internet is tax deductible when you own your own home business? You can deduct a portion of the price of any service that provides that sort of function, although the cap of that portion is 50 percent if you also use it for purposes other than business. Please check with your account for tax advice.

Affiliate MarketingJoining a network of other home based business owners can be extremely beneficial to your success. You can start your own alliance or find one that exists locally. Even though these people may own a business in a different field, you can use them as a source of motivation which can provide inspiration in building a successful home business.

Create an account at one of the many home business forums available on the internet. This way, you can connect with other home business enterprise owners and converse about your situations. Individuals that have home-based business deal with similar situations and can share information and search for solutions to problems.

You should have plenty of support from those closest to you when you are trying to launch a home business enterprise. It can be hard to begin, and successfully maintain a work from home business. Your family must not only support you, but they must also allow you time alone for your work.

To learn about running a home business, join a few forums and discussion boards on the subject. Using a search engine on your computer should narrow down some that are applicable to you, and they are a great source of information. Blogs are another great resource when it comes to educating yourself about online businesses.

Make your website name easy to remember. If you chose a domain name that is too hard to spell or too long, it could be difficult for potential clients to remember what it is. Keep it simple and catchy if you want visitors to come back.

If you want to open your own business, will it be profitable? Some home based business ideas sound promising but the market is already saturated. It can be hard to make money in a business that has many other competitors. It’s important to know what money will be spent and what will be made before you make any decisions.

Set up a DBA license (doing business as), in order to register your business. Options for doing so can be researched through your bank or local Chamber of Commerce. You can keep your business and personal money separate, and this method is usually not very costly.

Plan for periodic breaks when working from home, but don’t allow yourself to become too preoccupied with what’s going on in your household. However, you should not let your personal issues take away from your home business. Breaks will help you to refocus and improve your overall energy level.

While at work, set ground rules to make sure family members and friends do not interrupt you. It is especially important that you tell friends that call or visit frequently about your new work schedule. If someone insists on coming while you’re working, keep them occupied in a separate room with TV, movies or magazines.

Even though your business name is an important consideration, don’t pick it just for marketing reasons. You need to find a name that corresponds to your personality. Pick something that has a personal connection to you, and a name that will bring you pride when you hear it.

Most of all “KEEP IT SIMPLE” and enjoy.  A Home Business can be fun and profitable.  It won’t happen over night, but with a little practice and with a little work you can grow your business to want ever you want it to be.  Just keep it simple.
