Free Resources when Starting a Home Business
For many people starting a home-based business requires being
creative, ingenious and smart in how the businesses startup
funds get used. With so many opportunities that will come your
way, the question to answer is; which businesses get a crack at
the available funds and which will have to wait another day?
These are tough choices especially when someone is just starting
out and does not know how to decipher the true and valuable
opportunities from those disguised as good opportunities but are
simply weak.
Along with the many opportunities that exist that require you to
pay for their services, there seem to be just as many and if not
more free resource opportunities that should be investigated
before committing yourself to any particular group or company.
In my experience, the first thing to do is research your
competitor's websites. Do your own marketing research, find the
websites that have been around for a few years and see who they
are doing business with; they will have already weeded out the
pretenders from the pack. See if you can track any trends in the
businesses other website owners are working with. If a trend
emerges then there probably is consensus between the website
owners.
The next step is to signup for some of the free newsletters that
many internet-marketing companies publish, especially the Search
Engine Optimization ("SEO") companies. These newsletters will
have many terrific ideas to help you on the internet and at the
same time will provide you with an internet commerce education.
Just type "SEO" into any search engine and you will find
hundreds of websites to get you started.
Besides these free resource opportunities
that have already been
mentioned, here are a few more that you should look into;
* The Federal Citizen Information Center promotes and
distributes useful consumer information to the public. As an
example, the small business offering has for $1.00 a "Virtual
Small Business Workshop CD-ROM". The CD covers a variety of
small business tax issues including payroll, taxes, electronic
filing, and record keeping. * Free financial spreadsheet
templates are available from Microsoft. These templates include
budgeting, cash flow statements and small business startup
checklists. * Free message board software to include on your
website, phpbb.com open-source bulletin board software is free
to download and install on your web site. * Free small business
startup assistance through the Small Business Administration,
SBA.gov.
Working on the internet from home does not have to be expensive
if you are patient and willing to take your time researching the
alternatives. There is only one paying service that I fully
recommend that you do not compromise on and that is the company
that provides your hosting service. Make sure that you signup
for a top domain hosting service such as yahoo.com. Many of the
search engines such as Google do not like the free hosting
service companies and this can hurt you in the web site rankings
within the search engines.
Good luck in starting your home-based business, and I look
forward to hearing from you.
