Some Work at Home Tips for Newbies
I remember the very first paycheck I got from working from home. It was for a whopping $104.32. Okay, it was in U.S. currency, so it was a little more since I am Canadian hehe. The point is I had made money. I had made my first real cashable paycheck. Care to know how much my next paycheck was for? The next one was for a whopping $121.89, again USD. After my first three months online I had made a total of $226.21. My heart sank. And herein lies the problem of all internet beginners. Sorry to be brutally honest here but stay with me. I will explain what I mean.
We all read the web/sales page about someone else making hundreds and thousands of dollars and in some cases millions of dollars online that we become so incredibly discouraged that we ourselves didn't accomplish the same goal that we (at least the vast majority) give up. We are so consumed with a sense of failure that we don't realize that these people who ARE making the big mega bucks online are amongst the elite few who didn't give up after they failed. Remember from the first post...a great line which I believe was said by Michael Jordan "I failed, I failed, I failed..I succeeded". How awesome is that. If we take our failures and keep them in check as learning experiences and use them as positives and not negatives eventually we will inevitably succeed. It's quite literally scientific fact.
Another problem that "newbies" have, myself included back then is finding a niche. Information is a solid online business venture. However, you need to actually know what it is your talking about otherwise you eventually get bored of the topic and switch from one program to another. At least that's what happened to me. So here are a few tips to possibly help you out.
1. Research your market. Go to google or Yahoo! and see how much competition is there, if there's alot then you have yourself a hot market.
2. Join forums and newsgroups, get acquainted with people. If you ask enough questions, you will eventually find something that people need information on. The beauty is if you have a good knowledge of the subject you now have a product you can put together, be it in an ebook format or in the form of a newsletter, you get the idea.
3. Submit articles, this is a great way to get exposure to your site for free. You can tap into a hugely potential buyers market simply by sending articles.
4. Don't give up.
Well, that's it for today. Stick around for more tips and techniques that helped me and they will help you.
I mean, if a 34 year old recovering alcoholic can go from nothing to something within 6 months...why can't you?
All my best
Garret.
