I've decided to close the comments on The Home Biz Blog - upgrading to MovableType 3.33 didn't solve the spam problem completely and I don't have time to be moderating all those comments. We'll see if I find a solution later on... But Hannes Johnson dot Com is open for comments so you can comment as much as you want. Here is the first post to get you started.

As an online business owner, one of your preoccupations is increasing your site traffic. If you have been in business for even a short period of time, you know that the key to getting more hits is by optimizing for the search engines. Most people use the search engines to find the sites they are looking for, so it is in your best interests to achieve as high a page ranking as you can.

Search engine optimization is vital to your business, but you should not overlook another method for increasing your site traffic: getting listed in an internet business directory. Internet business directories work in the same way that yellow pages work for traditional pages. To wit, they are listings of the various businesses operating on the web. To make the listings more tenable to use, the sites are grouped according to different categories. Sites can be listed by topics or regions, for example. Different business directories use different criteria to categorize its sites.

The reason you want to get listed in an internet business directory is simple: people use directories to find sites. While getting listed in an internet business directory is not as important as getting optimized for the search engines, it can nevertheless contribute to an increase in your site traffic. People use directories to find a wide variety of sites pertaining to topics they are interested in. Obviously, not being listed is a disadvantage.

To have your site listed in an internet business directory, you must first identify the directories that you feel will be most conducive to your business’ success. Next, you will have to submit your site for possible inclusion. If your site is legitimate, you should have no problem getting accepted. After being reviewed, your site will be indexed in the most appropriate category.

Here some excellent examples of internet business directories:

AME Info (www.ameinfo.com) – A business directory listing almost 200, 000 Middle Eastern companies.
AT&T Directories (www.att.com/directory/index.html) – This site can help you find a persons and/ or business by name or phone number.
Big Book (www.bigbook.com) – A listing of businesses within the United States. You can search for a business using its name, location, or category.
BizEurope.com Resources (www.bizeurope.com/bsr/manu/resource.htm) - A listing of European companies involved in importing and exporting.
British Companies (www.britishcompanies.co.uk) – a listing of British consumer product companies.
British Services (www.britishservices.co.uk) – a listing of British service providers.
Business.com (www.business.com) – This site also doubles as a search engine. You can find products, services, companies and jobs here.
Corporate Affiliations (www.corporateaffiliations.com) – lists companies that have merged, changed names, or gone out of business.
Europages: European Business Directory (www.europages.com) – Europages lists the addresses of half a million companies from thirty European countries. The site can be viewed in six languages.

This listing is not meant to be a comprehensive one, but it should be sufficient to get you started. Remember that internet business directories can help you increase your market reach, so you should never overlook them!

When you are interested in home business real estate, but you have a full time job, it can be difficult to try to find time to take classes after work. Many real estate schools are full time opportunities, which can make things even more difficult. However, you can fulfill your dreams and still earn that paycheck with home business real estate classes online. There are millions of people just like you doing it, so you can too. Just take a look at these things to look for when enrolling for classes and you will be on your way to learning all you need to know about real estate and home business.

Course Offerings

When you look into taking online home business real estate classes, you will need to be sure that you know what you are taking. For instance, you need to know if the courses you take will be able to certify you as an agent or otherwise. If you are simply taking classes to get a better understanding, then it really doesn’t matter. However, if you are wanting to get licensed to be a real estate agent, you need to know if your courses will be helpful or not.

Costs

Taking courses online can be quite expensive. So when you are looking for your home business real estate classes online, you need to be sure you know what the costs are. Look for hidden costs of text books, fees, and other things that might not be as clear as the tuition costs. Some businesses that offer classes will try to sneak other fees in, without you even knowing about them until it is way too late to back out. Just be prepared to ask the total costs, with books and all.

Length

Another thing you will want to consider is the length of the course. You should think about your life schedule and what you can take time for. If you are taking courses in the summer, be sure you think about vacation and if your vacation will conflict with your courses. In addition, if you are starting a family, think about the time that will take up. Be sure you find a program that works with your life well.

Overall, when you find a program for home business real estate online classes that seems to be what you want, at your budget level, and for the length of time you can afford to spend, be sure that you sign up. The sooner you get started toward your dream, the better off you will be. Make sure you consider everything however before beginning. After all, there may be a better deal around the corner. You must do your research to decide if that is the case or not.

You've made the decision to start your own business; its time to begin developing a successful home business plan.

The first step, of course, is to decide just what type of business you'd like to operate. Start by pinpointing your hobbies, personal interests and subjects you've always seemed to have a naturally knack for. Perhaps you've always had a love of animals. Considering opening a full-service kennel might be the type of home business plan you need to look into. Maybe you are a stay-at-home mom who absolutely adores children. Creating a home daycare of preschool might be an option. Is mathematics your game? Accountants are needed for all types of financial institutions, including businesses, banks and financing companies. Individuals are also potential customers.

Yet another aspect to consider as part of your home business plan is whether you would like to act as the sole service provider or whether you would prefer to be in the background, as in just managing your home business. Consider whether your business plan is profitable enough to allow for employee compensation, and just how many employees you might be able to have on payroll. If you project that you would be in need of a few hands to run your business, but don't see an enough profit allowance for paying employees, an option would be to contact local universities and junior colleges to offer a non-paid internship. In turn, the education institution would provide credit to the student for a semester of work.

As long as we're talking about income, consider the fact that a home business plan does not provide health insurance coverage. Can you live without it? Will your company provide enough funds to purchase private insurance? Does your spouse have insurance through his or her job that could cover the family?

Those who are brainstorming a business plan may be deterred by start-up costs. Begin with calculating the exact cost of opening your business. Add in operating costs for the first month as you may struggle financially during your first weeks of work, and there will be extra bills that come along with conducting business matters. Consider small business loans from banks, personal loans from family members or contacting investors and sponsors for help.

As you are just beginning your home business plan, having the best of the best is not necessary. Try to cut corners as much as possible.

For instance, if you cannot afford computer set-up and Internet service just yet, check the availability of your library's computer lab to research or e-mail business contacts. If you are need of furniture for your home business, such as desks and chairs, check out second-hand stores or place an ad in the newspaper asking for donations.

The key to succeeding in your home business plan is to firmly believe that your dream is possible. If you run into a roadblock, simply take another avenue.

Hey, did you know that...

Once the website is designed and ready to be uploaded, one should choose a proper business hosting and internet services provider. Some hosting companies provide free internet with the package. One should set up a wireless network using wireless router to gain flexibility in being mobile. Business communication can be done through any good quality internet phone around the world.

There are millions of people out there who have started there own home business through use of their computers. While their ideas are fresh and unique, and their business plan has great promise, owners may have trouble getting the word out about their services. Consider starting a home based Internet marketing business to act as their “word of mouth”.

If your client’s business is a common one in which many entrepreneurs are exploring, your task is to make this business stand out from all the rest. For instance, if a consumer is looking for a web designer, they may punch in “web designer” on a search engine. Millions of individuals and companies will pop up. They will inevitably browse the first sight them come to on the list. You, as a home based Internet marketing business, can’t let this happen.

Develop a Web site solely dedicated to the services your client provides. If you are not familiar with site set-up, you may be forced to include fees in your contract that allow for you to hire a site creator. Include in this site pictures of the client, samples of his or her work, complimentary comments from former and present client’s clients, client’s educational and work background, service prices and special offers such as free consultations.

Include tons of articles that feature certain keywords in which a Google hunter would type in. For a web designing service, they could punch in web designer, web sites, graphic professional, inexpensive web site creators. Hiring a web content provider who will send you copy written by highly-regarded writers containing these keywords would be a good alternative if writing time or skill is lacking within your home based internet marketing business. Hiring this kind of help will increase traffic to the Web site in which you have organized to promote your client’s products or services.

While it would be easy as a home based Internet marketing business to simply sit back and let potential customers find your client’s services on their own through the Web site, if you want to be the best, it requires a little more effort.

Another duty of a home based Internet marketing business is to actually reach out to potential buyers of customer’s products or services. This takes much effort and time, but the payoffs could be bountiful. If you send out 100 information e-mails to business owners who could benefit from your client’s services, chances are at least 10 replies will be received. The odds aren’t very good, but bringing in 10 new customers a day is a pretty successful endeavor. In these e-mails, include an offer for a free newsletter subscription which will update the recipient on present and new services added, coupons for discount rates, links to the client’s Web site and an e-mail address to contact for more information.

The dream of working at home fills the minds of stay-at-home moms, overwhelmed and exhausted full-time employees and part-timers who find working odd hours for little pay is a time waster. With all of the offers out there in the online community, it is difficult to distinguish a legitimate free home based business opportunity from a scam.

There are two roadblocks that people who decide to start a home business usually run into: start-up costs or finding a reputable company who is not scamming the public or using the public to scam other people.

Your best bet for not getting taken advantage of is to literally find real businesses that need your services by becoming an off-site freelancer. Everyone has a skill that they could turn into a profitable career. From writing to marketing to web design to accounting, more and more companies are in demand for at-home employees.

Working from home for a business by way of computer is called telecommuting. The benefits are that you may be able to set your own work hours, there are no traveling costs or traffic hassles involved, and you can arrive at work in your pajamas. This is a possibility for those who desire freelance or contract work as a web developer, writer or author, career consultant or financial advisor. The possibilities are endless.

If you hold a college degree or have continuously excelled in a certain field, perhaps you would be open to teach courses for an online university or instructional school or offer tutoring over the Internet. Many times, education institutions are also looking for scholars who can create course itineraries or write instructional books for students.

Acting as a customer service representative for a company is also a choice as a free home based business opportunity. Clients who need these services are typically looking for someone to answer customer questions and complaints through a toll-free number through your personal or provided phone and answer customer e-mail inquiries.

Other free home based business opportunities involve a little bit of travel for work, but still offer the flexibility that everyone desires. For instance, if sewing has always been your hobby, you could turn it into a home business by designing and creating clothes for either a company or as your own business. The travel involved would be running to get supplies or setting up displays at flea markets or festivals.

Sales positions are another option which requires footwork and generating your products through the public. Many cosmetic companies, candle makers, and newspapers are looking for representatives to advertise their products and add to subscriber or customer lists.

In deciding which field you will choose as a free home based business opportunity, it is important to decide whether you feel comfortable around people, possibly pushing sales or answering angry calls; or if you would rather be isolated if you are not really a people-person.

In this age of technology, it’s not as mandatory to actually work a 9-5 job (or even leave the house, for that matter) to earn income. There are many ways that people with basic computer skills can earn money on the Internet. Does it sound too good to be true? It’s really not.

One way to earn money on the Internet is by developing your own company, whether it be offering a service or selling your own products. Creating a Web site is a must for this endeavor. Marketing and promoting your product or service is yet another task.

Find your niche. If you like to design and create children’s clothing, consider opening an online kids clothing store. You would first need to apply pictures of your products onto your Web site, detailing product information and sales prices. Subscribe to a payment tool, such as PayPal, as a way for customers to purchase your items online. Adding a shopping cart feature is another consumer-friendly tool.

If going into business for yourself is not something you are not willing to risk, there are many work-at-home opportunities listed on the Internet, from data entry jobs to sales. The most important aspect of choosing such a company to work for is determining their status. Is this a scam? Will they trick me into scamming other innocent people? The best way is to check the company’s reputation is through the Better Business Bureau.

Freelancing is yet another option to earn money on the Internet. Perhaps you have a gift for writing or graphic design. Capitalize on this skill by checking freelance sites for work opportunities. This is not as risky as working for yourself in the sense that you are actually getting paid by companies on your terms. However, there may come a point and time when the need for this type of work slows down, or even comes to a complete halt. That is something to consider when planning freelance as a way to earn money on the Internet.

Perhaps a very simple way to earn money on the Internet is by acting as an online advertisement. This involves developing a Web site dedicated to a certain subject, such as shoes, and writing content and adding pictures that will attract visitors to your site. The next step to earning money on the Internet through advertising is to join an affiliate program. These are companies who will allow you to post links to their sites that feature their sales products which relates to your Web site. When the link on your Web site is clicked, and a purchase is made, you will then receive commission from the purchase. The key to success with this endeavor is to develop an attractive and informative Web site on your subject and continue to update and add new content as an incentive for visitors to return.
