Home Based Business Opportunity
Why is there currently such a rush to develop home based internet businesses? It seems to me that we are going through a major shift in the way marketing is performed.
In this discussion, I am going to explain some of the factual reasons why this is occurring and then give you some of my own perceptive ideas about this current industry revolution.
First let us discuss some of the factual reasons.
1.
There are many of us in the work force that are tired of the one or two hours of commuting to and from work each day with the loss of time that can never be recovered.
In many of us this adds to a level of stress giving to depression or anger because we would rather be spending that valuable time doing other things especially having quality time with our family.
2.
With the current increase in transportation costs that our society is enduring, this leads to another stress factor affecting our personal budgets.
Not only is the price of gasoline at the pumps a factor, but the mass transit systems are having to eliminate some of their routes besides increasing the cost of fares.
3.
There are many of us who work in the corporate world who would prefer to eliminate some of the uncomfortable arenas that are required of us.
Some of these arenas are quite onerous and may even conflict with our personal values.
Also, there comes a time when we realize that we are like a puppet on a string and at the beck and call of someone else who is control of our future.
And, finally, we become frustrated at giving our time and talents to promote someone else's income and prestige.
4.
One advantage of a home based internet business is that you don't have to have any employees.
Consequently, you don't have the responsibility of hiring and firing.
You also don't have to do the book keeping for payroll taxes and provide employee benefits.
5.
Perhaps the most important change that has occurred is with the internet itself.
Over the past few years there have been several talented individuals who have developed internet tools that have benefited the individual developing a home based business.
One of these is the autoresponder which allows one to build a large subscriber list with automated emailings which will drive traffic to a website.
It can also be used for periodic broadcasts to inform subscribers of new products or services.
Another tool is the search engines which is the best and quickest way to advertise a product or service and overall has proven to be the best way to drive traffic to a website.
And lastly, is the tool that you are using while you read this, that is the ezines.
This has proven to be an efficient way to spread knowledge and to communicate with other like minds.
6.
Another attraction to a home based internet business is that there is no telephone marketing required and especially no face to face marketing which most of us are totally unskilled.
I am certain that there are more factual reasons, but let me now give you some of my perceptive reasons.
I believe that those of us who are interested in developing a home based business have an inner desire to be independent and to create a situation where we are totally reliant on ourselves.
Somehow it is a personal challenge to want to succeed in a totally different working arena and, yes, even with a new set of technical terms.
Even though there is always the threat of failure, there seems to be enough adrenaline in us to achieve the extra time that we can have with our families and to do more of the fun things in life that were denied us before accepting this lifestyle change.
In conclusion, it seems that there are some societal factual reasons along with a desire for a lifestyle change that can explain this current rush to develop home based internet businesses.
