STEP 1 : Find Your Idea

So You Want Your Own Internet Work-At-Home Business ?

I’ve seen it too many times : Joe overhear from the local bar how it’s possible to make big money in the Internet, so Joe takes a 2 week vacation and decide to launch his very own Joe Inc. business. But Joe don’t have a clue on how to create his Internet business.

Joe don’t know how to buy a domain, Joe don’t know how to create a website, Joe don’t have a product to sell. So after much struggling and loosing money on “Get Rich” scams. Joe simply decides to abandon his idea, and returns to his truck driving job.

Let me ask you : Are you a Joe? Where you tempted to create your own Internet business but didn’t know where to start? Or what to sell? Or how to get visitors?

Let me assure you though : I have been in the exact same situation than you. I was a complete average newbie Joe, the worst of its kind…now please take a moment now and observe my current WorkAtHomeChannel.com site, then tell yourself :

This WorkAtHome guy was like me, he had no idea on how to start an Internet Business, but look at what he did now!

When I first wanted to create my own Internet based Business, I lost a long time looking for tutorials and trying to learn all sort of stuff by myself. But most of the information I had access to was either outdated, or needed a technie to pull it off. I was, at that time, simply looking for the wrong things.

The Revealing Scene

And one day when I went for a walk in the local Park I saw a a father who was teaching his kids how to play Baseball, showing them how to handle the ball, how to throw it properly… And an idea started to form itself in my mind…What I really need are not the tutorials, what I need is not the information…

I simply need a mentor!

Someone willing to coach me, to take me by my hand, to show me all the ropes of the Internet Business world, to support me, to encourage me, to help me…An Online guide in some sort.

That was when I started my impossible quest for a mentor.

The Quest For a Mentor

I spent a long time searching : I asked my relatives, my friends, I searched in forums, in Chat channel, I was even begging people for guidance…And then some online friend referred me to a guy called “Stone Evans”.

This “Stones” guy proposed me a complete automated “Business-in-a-Box” website as he called it He was ready to give it to me for free : all I had to do is to promote it.

Stones would provide me with the website and the mailing list already set-up, he even gave me products to sell. Again, all he was asking is to promote it heavily.

Symbiosis

And indeed this system works! You can see it as a win-win relation, I receive a high commission for every product I sell on my website, and Stones is selling his E-books.

But clueless as I was, I had no idea on how to promote my website. Again, Stones accepted to be my mentor and to teach me my first Internet Marketing tricks.

He told me that the secret in getting Internet traffic is to have as many back-links as possible to my website. He also advised me to write one article a week and to put a resource box -like the one you can see below this article- to drive people back to my website.

Here is an example of a resource box :

Sammy Vital has been learning and applying Internet marketing
for over 5 years. Take advantage of his uncanny insights
and unusual candor by subscribing to his free, information-packed
newsletter. Also visit his top-rated blog. Do both at:
http://www.workathomechannel.com

Your Free Website is Ready

Then Stone thought that it would be great to do the same thing on a bigger scale.

He compiled all his writings and guides - did I told you that he is an experienced Internet marketer?- in a step-by-step guide he called “30 Days For Success”, and then he started offering ready-made website for anyone who wants to launch his own Internet business.

How To Promote Your Internet Business

When you will first receive your Plug-in-Profit website, start reading right away the “30 Days For Success” guide, and try to write one article a week where you will put your website address, then submit these articles to article directories. Everything is explained and detailed in the guide.

You could also post ads in E-zine and Newsletter or even in offline newspaper. Another proven way to get traffic is to participate in forums related to your website theme and to put your link address in your signature.

Stone does a wonderful job of explaining all of this in the “30 Days For Success” guide. You just have to follow the steps.

So, there you have the best in what’s actually working to start your own home business. I maybe be a little biased as I started my own Internet business as a Plug-in-Profit website, but I shamessly advocate PIPs for any beginner. I know it works.
