A home based business is a magnificent idea in a career or in making money today. With a home based business you are answerable only to yourself. It used to be that starting up a home based business was too much like a mere fantasy for most people who were not writers or artists (and we all know about the proverbial struggling artists and writers). But since the advent of the Internet in the mid-1990s, home based businesses have been able to flourish.The Internet contains well over 10,000 products that others have designed and made that you could sell as an affiliate. Affiliate marketing is a huge force in the home based business world. But there are other ways of having a home based business without being a marketing affiliate getting paid by Click-Bank. The Internet and cheap VoIP and cell phone calling technologies have made it possible for many people to start up their own home based businesses.Today, you can even start up your own home based business where your employees also work from their homes. All meetings can be done via cell phone, Skype, Instant Messenger, or online meeting programs like Go To Meeting, WebEx, and Adobe’s online meeting software. Many small business owners today even outsource their work overseas for a fraction of the salaries they would pay to US employees (those overseas employees have far lower standards of living and therefore their lower pay goes much further there than it would here). Again, our modern communications technologies make this all possible. Let’s look at the advantages of the home based business no matter how you’re going to do it: as a small business owner with some employees or just by yourself.Tip 1: You run everything. Yes, if you own your own business, you only answer to yourself. Wouldn’t it feel amazing to get up when you desire, never have to be on another person’s time sheet, never have to deal with a miserable manager, set all of your own hours, and be in control of your financial destiny? Yes, this takes a lot of commitment and personal discipline, but the freedom is worth every ounce of such costs.Tip 2: You have low overhead. You don’t have to spend money on commuting fuel. You cut down on wear and tear on your vehicle. You don’t have to rent or pay utilities at an office. You don’t need to buy everyone’s office supplies. You won’t end up eating out nearly as much as you would “on the run.”Tip 3: You can tend to your familial needs. You don’t have to beg for time off or use up precious “sick days” to tend to your kids. You can work while still keeping your home in order. You can relax and have dinner with your spouse and family even if you plan to go back to work again in the evening. You can pick the kids up from school or day care, or even cut out your day care bill entirely.And all of this adds up to less stress and, compared to traditional small businesses, greater profit margins. If you’re someone who is tired of losing the race to rats, if you dream of independence personally and financially, you need a home based business.
