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.
