Tragically, ordinary people get disillusioned by sleeping on idea of a "dream job" when they could cash-in tremendously from exponential growth of e-commerce in "information age"!

You can be up and running your own lucrative home-based business with very small capital in a matter of days! Nowadays, you don't even have to develop your own products to flourish.

You don't even have to be an expert in any subject, once you are ready to study how casual people achieve their goals faster than ever with a rock-solid marketing plan!

Here's a characteristic example, on how anyone can start an autopilot Internet business - let's scrutinize some critical elements that will help you understand gigantic potential of Internet marketing:

You put-up a direct-response website that caters information for a specific industry; whatever that industry can be - you'd always deliver digital information on a subject in form of ebooks.

I am talking about a topic that is in-demand and people would gladly pay for it.There are a plethora of money-making ideas when it comes to promoting informational products, which are ideally delivered in form of ebooks or even CD's.

Just use a magnificent online researching tool like WordTracker (see http://web-site-promotion.gr/wordtracker ) and you'll come-up with literally hundreds of prolific keywords that people use to search online with their credit cards ready to submit orders and inflate your bank account automatically!

Using WordTracker I have "unearthed" several profitable industries, by conducting a few hours of intensive research. In fact, you cannot afford to not methodically use technological means before launching any business.

Another sure-fire source of discovering what sells online is... forums! Just use any search engine to research for a particular topic that meets your interests, add "forum" keyword and see exactly what people discuss, identify with their problems and offer your "digital solution"!

Next thing, is developing a direct-response website which gives away a free report in exchange for your prospects' e-mail address. Just add some related articles to show-off your expertise; offer free report in trade for email addresses and then... follow-up with "complete solution" with a killer sales letter and a digital product.

Once you start building a targeted, ever-growing mailing list, your income geometrically grows. All you need is to stick with a topic that motivates you and has a "starving market" that has money and willingness to purchase your *solution*.

If you can't find products to sell, fear not. There are hundreds of informational products that grant you full resale rights with every purchase.

A fine source is http://cyber-software.com - you can find "instant products" to market in form of software. The best part is that these products are offered for a very low investment and you reap 100% of profits.

Dear Reader, These articles will provide a step by step guide on how to start and run a home based business based on my experiences and other home business owners. This is part 3 in a series of 5 articles. They are written in a basic format and where possible main points are summarised in an attempt to be understood by all. I have tried to minimise technical jargon as much as possible.

So lets jump right in and see what we need to know about starting and running a home based business.

It is essential in managing your business that you set-up files, systems, procedures and schedules for completing regular routine tasks. Construct a timetable to set times on when you will be working on specific tasks. Having set goals for each task will motivate you to complete these tasks. Stick to your timetable and you will achieve your goals. At beginning of each week, tabulate a ‘to do’ list which clearly states important priorities and any sundry matters. These habits are some which successful home business owners have employed and have sticked to in order to achieve their goals.

Managing Your Time

With many tasks awaiting you in your business, decisions will have to be made on which to complete first. Challenging tasks should be tackled when you feel you are at peak of your day.

Being at home, it is easy to get distracted by ‘home matters’ and other personal events that may unexpectedly drag you out of office. Set a regular starting time and ensure family members are aware when you are ‘in office’ and when you are not.

The temptation is great to spend all your time working on your business. Hold back and balance personal and business commitments and you will find your performance will be a lot fresher and enthusiastic.

It is definitely a good idea that at end of your working day, you shut office door and switch on answering machine. Being vacuumed back in office when not necessary is a disaster in making.

Revisiting The Business Plan

By now, you should have a business plan. Many make mistake of leaving it in bottom drawer. A plan has to continually change and adapt to situations around it. You need to keep it updated to incorporate any current activities and opportunities.

Sales Projection

Estimate your sales for next 12 months and record these. This will become important in assessing your cash flow for business. Try and include variations in seasons that will influence your sales. Try not to be too ambitious nor too conservative in your projection. You do not want to be disappointed either way.
