Starting is the hardest part

First of all, think about what you would like to do. For example, if you like scuba diving, do you think it’s possible for you to work from home teaching scuba diving or selling scuba diving gear? If you like to read, do you think it’s plausible for you to sell books online? If you type really fast, you think you can sell your secretarial or typing services to others?

Put yourself into your potential clients’ shoes – do you think you will pay for your own kind of services? Remember, you’re good at what you do so, you have to imagine that you’re NOT good at what you do. For example, if you are good at typing, you have to imagine those two-finger-peck-by-peck typers who ARE willing to spend some money to get someone to type out long documents for them. If you are willing to pay for such services, how much do you think you would pay for it?

And then,repparttar next thing you should do is to go to www.google.com or www.yahoo.com (or whatever favorite search engine it is of yours) and type in a relevant keyword. Research out our competitors. If I had to be really honest with you, I’d say send them emails and pretend to be a potential customer/client. Get a quote from them – not one but maybe, like, TEN of them.

If this isrepparttar 142705 kind of money others are making from their own businesses, then you SHOULD be earning that kind of money as well.

I don’t have a lot of space to go into details today but I will divulge more information later on, so, do come back for Part II!!
