If you are a newbie on the net and are checking out possibilities of working from home to make money online, let me assure you half the world is doing it already. People from all walks of life and from various countries are finding success like they had never seen before here on the internet. The phenomenon is spreading like fire. Just type "make money online" in google and other search engines and see for yourself the number of sites that come up for that one phrase. It is mind blowing. Similarly check out "work at home" or both these phrases together.... the results will leave nothing to imagination or assumption.
WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OPTING FOR IT? People are finding the idea of working from home of a great convenience. Costs involved to start working from home are negligible. All you need is a computer and access to internet. Which is not much. The age-bar, qualification, previous experience etc are of no consideration at all. Anybody at any stage of life can start to work from home and make money online.WHAT KIND OF INCOME ARE PEOPLE MAKING ON THE NET? This is the most often asked, most often answered, most important question. People who are doing well are really doing well, making enormous money. Some people who just make website and leave it at that are not making any money at all. But most people (an average American- as declared in an American Business Journal) make anywhere between $1500 - $4000 per month working from home. These are the people who are making an effort to promote and market their sites on a day to day basis.
WHERE IS THE CATCH? Well, catch there is! If you are not organized, focused and patient or if you don't plan well, success will certainly not meet your halfway. You will need to work a few hours on your computer everyday. This is the only catch. A major one at that. These criteria's may sound subjective, but these are the most common drawbacks we need to work on. If you want to succeed, promise yourself that you will put in the required efforts and give a few hours to your new business everyday, and you will succeed. You will succeed......I can't emphasize it enough.
The World is Flat - This book by Friedman should open everyone's eyes to work at home potential
The New York Times' columnist visits India often. I read about this new book The World is Flat in his interview with a leading Indian National newspaper. The tête-à-tête in general awakened my senses.. most of the interview revolved around internet and its major impact on business community in general. Let us focus upon one facet - the possibility of making money online.
Being able to make money online is about mindset!
Amongst the first few reactions to "why don't you start to work at home to make money online?" are "oh! well I don't think I can...,I have never given it a thought, I am not cut out for it, I don't have the patience"... etc. And if you look at all these reactions closely you will see, that they are all reflections of one's mind set.
The Do's and Don'ts of Work at Home Business
The first and foremost amongst the Do's and Don'ts is - `DO' start to work at home & `DON'T GIVE UP'. I am not saying it because I myself work at home. On the contrary I am saying it because there was a time when I did not work at home! I know the difference. Period.
