SO YOU WANT TO START A HOME BUSINESS A Honest Account By Tom
Maloney WAIKIKI IT SOLUTIONS
Introduction
Two Years ago I was fed up working long hours for somebody else
for a pittance, not getting any praise or support, was surfing
the net and came across an article on setting up a home
business. This article stated that by following a few basic
principles and paying a few bucks I would become an Internet
Millionaire overnight, well within six months. Oh Yeah, we have
all heard that one haven’t we? Anyway being naive I was sucked
in and yes you got it right first time, I made approximately 27c
for an outlay of around $34,747:24c, not bad at a first attempt
to make money, I lost $34,746.97, not a very good introduction
to making money on the Internet.
This heavy loss resulted from spending money on placing ads in
paid programmes (hum! That’s a topic for another article watch
this space), using paid and free search engines (another article
coming), buying leads that were ‘so called opt in leads’
(another article coming) yes you got it right again, they were
not and I was reported for spamming (and yet another article
coming) so on and so on for over a year. What you ask, is this
got to do with me wanting to start a home business? Well read on
and I will start to explain what I went through, how I started
my Home Business, when I started to make money and how I am
progressing. Oh and watch this space for further articles on all
the different connotations of leads, adds, search engines,
ezines, etc, etc.
So What Changed?
One day I suddenly realised that I was spending all my waking
hours chasing dreams that were not there, my wife was packing
her case and thus I realised that something was not quite right.
Does this sound familiar? If so by reading my articles I may
save you some considerable heartache and money. Anyway, I took
stock of what I wanted to achieve and commenced to research into
what sorts of businesses were making money on the net. This I
followed by identifying all the different types of support
issues that needed to be addressed, what marketing tools I would
require to set up and run a business on the Internet. I started
to put together a plan of attack on what I needed to do in order
to set up my own Internet Home Business and start making money.
But that’s next weeks article.
