It is enough to know that with rising of sun, you must run. And you must run faster than you did yesterday or you will die.

This is race of life." –African Proverb

Which one would you choose to be? I would choose to be lion, because Lion can afford to fail repeatedly. There is always another opportunity to catch gazelle another day, lion can learn and try new tricks and techniques for hunting gazelle, all it needs is to find one successful technique and it won't go hungry.

The gazelle on other hand, if it fails to elude capture will die! No second chances here I'm afraid.

You can apply same principles to home business and internet marketing. View yourself as Lion, if you fail with something, try, try again, all it takes is one successful method which you can repeat to get on road to success.

There are many excellent tracking tools on internet which allow you to track your prospects and sales. This will allow you to test new ideas or advertisements and know exactly whether changes you are testing have been beneficial or unsuccessful.

Test, test and test again, until you find that winning formula and then try to beat it!

"If all else fails, perseverance prevails". --unknown

Don't treat your home business as a hobby or you will never achieve real success. Treat each day as a potentially life or death situation, it is in these moments that we have greatest insight, motivation and determination to be successful and to succeed.

•Watch for these too:

If you plan to accept payment on your side an access to SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption is must. If you want your site to be interactive you would need to install cgi(Common Gateway Interface). So better to look for a host who supplies you your own cgi bin.

If you wish to create your site in Microsoft FrontPage then check whether your host provides FrontPage extension. If you plan to run a site with database then MySQL should be a desired feature.

Your host should also provide you free access to your server. You should have free access to log files and statistics of traffic your site receives. If your host offers referral programme it is better.

•Customer Support: This matters a great deal to your business. You will need this help whenever you run in trouble. If your host is not supportive or is not prompt enough then it could mean loss in your business. See that you are provided a good and meaningful support. Send them a question or two. Study response. Find out if they are available on phone in case you are in emergent situation.

Make sure that this service is free and they will not charge anything in name of customer support.

Finally, you will have to find what matches your business needs. Search before you settle for a deal. Narrow down your choice to a few prospective hosts. Look for their reputation. Ask them examples of sites hosted.

Check with their existing clients and find how satisfied they are. Most good business hosts are available between $ 15- 50 with few differences that could matter to individual.

You can start small and upgrade later provided your host gives you this option. Select one who allows you to expand if need arises.

Just two words before you go. “Select carefully”
