Online Jobs the New Frontier

Online Jobs are becoming more and more prevalent. And online businesses are on the rise. Every day more and more men and women decide to create their own work at home business. The problem is that 90% of these businesses fail. And the reason that they fail is that most online business opportunities have fantastic sales letters that promise the world but only offer outdated methods of making money.

Here is the one thing that you must do to create a successful, profitable business:

If you want to truly own and run an online business, you must treat it like a real business. Decide on one business online, create a marketing plan, set a budget and stick to it. If you do just this you will be ahead of 90 percent of the population.

1) Pick a work at home opportunity that actually makes sense to you.

2) If they have a set marketing plan, follow it to the letter. They have probably done all the research and tested which ads pulled so there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Don't prove how "smart" you are. The most profitable online marketers are ones who know how to find a proven system and use it daily.

3) Dedicate time every day to marketing your business. This includes writing and submitting articles, writing in your blog, social networking, press releases and more. Choose four marketing tools and use them consistently.

4) Determine a pre-set amount of your profits that you will put back in to your online venture.

5) Delegate a portion of this work to others and devote yourself to your main job - marketing your product and creating new products.

6) Set a timer and plan a specific amount of time to work on each task. Do not answer the phones, check emails or check your sales while you accomplish these short term goals.

7) Also set time for relaxation. In order to keep your business fun and to maintain your passion, you must strike a balance between work and play. Working from home can be lonely if you do not plan to include social time into your week.

8) Talk to your accountant about whether an S, C or LLC is appropriate. You want to make sure that you get to keep as much of your profits as possible. Also ask what expenses are deductible. You can deduct part of your home as a home office, as well as many of your supplies and even some travel expenses. Part of your profits come from money that you generate and the rest comes from what you are able to save. So be diligent.

Make a definite intention to treat this not like online jobs but as a true full time business. Have set hours when you work. Forget the work from home in your pajamas mentality. Getting dressed puts you in a more business like mentality. When you get up in the morning and before you go to sleep at night have an intention of what you wish to accomplish. Develop a passion for your products and pass that enthusiasm on to your customers.
