Six Reasons Why Most Home Based Businesses Fail

Every day thousands of people are looking to get out of the “rat race” to work at home. Most of those people want to get started on a home based business so badly that they do not always make wise decisions in choosing a home based business opportunity. As a result, many fail miserably and are left worse off then before they started. This, of course, does not need to be the case.

It is very possible, and doesn’t have to be all that hard, to find a legitimate home based business opportunity. As discussed in my previous article, “Why Do Most Home Based Businesses Fail?” there are five major reasons most home based businesses will never work.

In this article I am going to give you six more reasons why your home based business will fail, if you are not careful when choosing:

#1 – Most new opportunities do not help you make money. They will give you some ideas for making money, but then leave you out in the cold by having you do everything on your own. There simply is no good support system. Nobody should be a part of a business opportunity without a good support system.

A good support system should include at least some of the following; Good leaders, help forums, ongoing training, conference calls, marketing tools, suggested resources, ebooks, blogs, FAQ’s, etc… Basically they should have many ways to help you as much as possible with any question you might have.

#2 – Unfortunately, some home business opportunity owners will take your money and run. There are too many fly-by-night operations out there that will not hesitate to scam you. The problem is their promotions sound just as good as the legitimate opportunities. To avoid this, you should be very skeptical about each home business based business opportunity you are presented, examine and research them carefully, and then make an informed decision.

#3 – Some home based business opportunities will have you working long hours for little pay. This is a good way to get burned out, tired, frustrated, and eventually quit. Why become part of a home based business opportunity that is like a regular job? Of course, with any home business, you will have to put in a lot of time, energy, and resources for the first year or more, with little in return. But don’t get that confused with an opportunity that you will never make any real money in, no matter what you do.

#4 – Many home business opportunities offer products nobody really wants. You should never try to market any product that people couldn’t care less about. Do this and you are doomed to fail. Always remember that the market for your products or services comes first, and the product or service must be something that people actually want. In addition, it is best that the company who offers the product or service has a proven marketing system in place to help you promote them.

#5 – Many home based business opportunities force you to become a salesperson. Yes, you will have to do some selling in any home business, it just can’t be avoided. However, you should not have to spend your days cold calling leads or trying to sell ice to Eskimo’s. Don’t get into one of these businesses or you will get burned out quickly, unless you love to sell. There should already be an established market for the product or service and a system in place to eliminate as much of the “selling” as possible.

#6 – Some home based business opportunities pay small sums of money and no residual income. Stay far away from these! If you market products or services that don’t sell for very much money and don’t offer any residual income, it’s going to be almost impossible for you to make any real money or obtain financial freedom. There are plenty of opportunities out there where you can make a good amount of money per sale as well as earn residual income. It takes the same amount of effort on your part so don’t waste it on anything less!

So, there you have it… six more reasons why your home based businesses will fail if you are not careful. Do your homework and look for potential problems with any home based business opportunity before you get in it. Make sure it doesn’t have the problems outlined above, and then make an informed decision.

I want to leave you with the same final thought as my last article on this topic… No opportunity is perfect in every way. Don’t waste your life searching for it because it doesn’t exist! Just find one good home based business opportunity and stick with it.

How To Succeed At A Home Based Business

Starting a home business can be a very exciting, gratifying experience. It can also turn out to be your worst nightmare. Everyone has heard stories about home-based business scams. Some people even fail to make an online home business successful because of bad timing, poor leadership or simply a lack of interest in the business.

How Companies Have Given Home-Based Businesses a Bad Name

Hearing about a bad experience with a multi-level marketing (MLM) business can put a bad taste in your mouth and may make you hesitant to try this type of money-making opportunity. All free online businesses are not the same though.

Reasons people fear getting involved with a home-based business:

* Many people have failed using a home-based business model.

* Only 3% of people who try MLM actually succeed.

* 97% of the people who get involved in MLM fail. They end up not making any money and feel discouraged.

How to Succeed at a Home-Based Business

Legitimate free online businesses are available if you know how to evaluate them to weed out the bad choices. Choose the home based company carefully. Read all of the fine print and information on the company’s website. Check to make sure the company is listed with the Better Business Bureau. A high volume of complaints is a sign of a poorly run company. Talk to others who work for the company about the pros and cons of the company in question.

Don’t pay to get involved with a home-based business. Many opportunities are available for you to work from home for free. Find out what a realistic paycheck would be; not the amount of the highest earning affiliate (as promotional materials often include).

Earn Money through a Free Home-Based Business

One MLM idea that has been proven as a successful work-at-home program is to earn money from buying things you would normally buy anyway. The concept is a two part program.

1. Shop. It’s that easy! Just shop online or through catalogues from many stores and many brands. Each store is an affiliate of the MLM and offers a certain percentage of the total purchase back as a shopper’s reward. This idea allows shoppers to save money on what they would normally but anyway and get a rebate check based on the amount of their total purchases each month or each quarter.

2. Recruit. The second step of the free home based business is just as easy. Just share what you have learned about saving money and earning a paycheck with this work at home shopping systems. You can watch your check grow to unlimited proportions as you earn a percentage of your referral’s purchases too.

The Freedom a Home-Based Business Allows

Working from home is a dream for most people, especially anyone who has kids at home that would otherwise require the expense of daycare. Work-at-home jobs are hard to come by, but the benefit is the freedom a home-based business allows you.

* Eliminate time spend standing in long lines waiting to checkout after shopping at the mall of local discount store.

* Save gas and time spent in the car.

* Combine a work at home job with your 9-5 job for additional income.

* Products are delivered directly to your door. There is nothing to pick up or deliver.

* Allows people to become a stay at home mom or dad while continuing to contribute financially.

* There isn’t a dress code when you work at home.

The benefits and freedom that a ‘work from home’ job offers are priceless. Finding a reputable home-based business company to work for is half of the battle.

How Organic SEO Helps Search Engine Ranking

In organic SEO strategy, the question that matters most to businesses is, “Will our target market (in this case, the browsers and internet surfers) find us?” This in turn raises the question of how visible a company or business web site is in the top page rankings. Stated plainly, it is how they are placed in search engine rankings. This top page ranking is doable and achievable through the use of organic SEO (or search engine optimisation).

The moment internet users search for something on their favorite browsers, Google, Yahoo or Bing will look for the web pages that will match the topic-and this is where the use of organic SEO methods kick in. The most appropriate and fitting pages in the view of the engine bots will come out first, and those particular web pages will be ranked first. Considering that there are possibly more than a million pages to look into, the it has to go through a step by step process which is known as the algorithm. Each algorithm works in a unique way, but there are rules that govern its use and which is generally adhered to in organic SEO methods.

One of the organic SEO methods used in rankings is about the location and frequency of keywords that can be found on a web page. For this, a top SEO company would utilise an effective tool in its SEO packages: keyword analysis and selection. The right keywords would be generated and embedded in a website content. After using the right organic SEO techniques in optimising a web page, including the web design, it is up to the search engines to do the rest.

Experts in organic SEO would tell their clients that the first thing the engine bots will do is look for the pages containing the keyword, and these pages are considered more relevant than the others. At the same time the engine bots will also look if the keywords that are found at or near the top of a web page. In the same manner, the search engine will consider how often the keywords are mentioned relative to other words. Again, it is assumed that a specific web page that contain many targeted keywords are more relevant that the others. This is where the use of organic SEO boosts a business website’s chance of ranking high.

At this point, all three engines, Google, Yahoo and Bing, almost function the same but sometimes the results differ in varying degrees, even with the use of the same organic SEO methods. Some will catalog more pages or with more frequency that others. The end products eventually show different numbers and combinations even with the use of proper organic SEO techniques. A word of caution, engine bots are also configured to disregard or ignore abnormal appearances of keywords on a page.

Lately, the major seo methods are also using the “off the page” ranking measure. This forensic SEO ranking technique, one of the many tools of organic SEO, works through analysis and evaluation of the manner the pages are linked together. The aim is to find out what the pages is all about, and to decide what pages “count” or “matter”. The “off the page” feature also monitors the selection results of searches and rearranges the rankings accordingly.

Best WordPress SEO A Guide to Good Practice

Although best WordPress SEO involves some things specific to the platform, the basics are the same as with any other type of site.

Subject

Pick a subject, or niche, for your site and stick to it. A tightly focused site is better for SEO purposes so if you are blogging restrict your posts to the niche. To do otherwise will confuse your visitors and dilute your message to the search engines.

Keywords

Some keywords (and phrases) are highly competitive and, whilst it is not impossible, ranking for them will take a great deal of time and effort. Such keywords should be avoided because trying to rank for them will, in practice, be a waste of time even if you achieve the best WordPress SEO possible. You must take time to find keywords with a reasonable number of searches which are not too competitive. Good keyword selection will not guarantee your success but bad keyword selection will guarantee your failure.

It is also good for SEO purposes to include a keyword in the domain name.

WordPress Theme

Best WordPress SEO requires the selection of a theme designed with SEO in mind. Some themes are simply designed to look nice and these should be avoided.

WordPress SEO Plugins

Achieving best WordPress SEO can be helped by installing various SEO plugins. It is worth installing one of the SEO Packs (multifunction plugins) as these will work “out of the box” to tweak WordPress to be more search engine friendly.

There a many other SEO plugins that can be installed and each will improve the SEO a little. To achieve the best WordPress SEO possible you might want to install some of these but at the outset it is important to concentrate on producing good content.

Content

Best WordPress SEO means that you must have good search engine friendly content which also meets the needs of your visitors.

Search engine friendly means that it is targeted towards a keyword and this keyword is used in the URL, title, headings and in the correct positions in the text. You also need to have at least one graphic and internal and external links. You need to achieve this is a way that appears natural to the search engines as they will punish any obvious attempt to manipulate them.

The search engines like to see active sites so new content should be added regularly and of course this must be properly optimized.

SEO Tips on Hiring an SEO Expert

All business or company websites will want to maximize and optimize their website to make sure they get a good listing in search engine results. But this will not be possible unless your website is under the work of SEO experts. Most big businesses will have a budget for a social media marketing team and a team for search engine optimization. However, a small and budding business may not have the money to afford all these. But do not dismay as there are many SEO experts and consultants that you can still hire. This is a more cost effective move for small business owners. To be able to help you choose an SEO consultant here are some SEO tips.

In finding a good SEO expert, one of the SEO tips is to get references from previous clients. This is one of the best ways to know if the SEO consultant really delivers what he/she offers. You can ask the SEO expert to give you some client references and you may talk to them directly if you want or you can visit the consultant’s own website and look for client reviews and testimonials there. But if I were you, asking the client’s directly is a better way of knowing if the SEO expert gives quality services. On the other hand, if the SEO consultant is still new, you can still give him/her a chance and negotiate a discounted price for his/her services as that will make you the first client.

The next of the SEO tips is to make sure that the SEO consultant is offering you the real thing. Some SEO consultants may market their name and services as claiming they will get your website in the number 1 Google ranking. You might want to avoid these SEO consultants. Although the task is possible, there is still no guarantee that the consultant will be able to do it. The mechanisms in search engines are always changing and you should expect that your SEO consultant will be able to give you a good explanation on how your goals will be achieved given the circumstances.

The third of the SEO tips is to make sure that the SEO consultant knows the ins and outs of search engine optimization. This is because search engines like Google will have different requirements and guidelines for a website to rank and your SEO consultant should always be updated. He/she may still be practicing an old SEO technique that is no longer working and effective.

The fourth of the tips is to examine how your consultant will achieve your goal. At the beginning, you will be telling the consultant what you want to achieve for your website, what areas need improving and what areas are lacking. Through the information you’ve given, you can immediately see if the consultant knows what he/she will be doing to optimize your website and make it better. It is best that you also agree and understand the strategy the consultant is planning to take.

SEO consultants will be very helpful to small businesses. They are cost-effective and can really deliver results. Hopefully, these SEO tips in choosing an SEO expert for your website will be helpful to your search.
