Home based business ideas are something I am sure we all have had at one time or another. However, let’s not get our home based business and work from home job confused. They are totally different. But, with the right tools, you can turn your home based business ideas into a work from home opportunity.
If you are like me, I didn’t grow up thinking that I was going to work for someone all my life. I had dreams of making my own money. Being able to do what I wanted when I wanted. Never did I think that I would literally have to ask for time off. Growing up and watching my parents, I just assumed they took off work when they wanted to. Not once did I think they had to ask for that time off. They made working look so easy. Although my parents were hard workers and we never lacked for anything, they did take pride in what they did. But as I look back, I realize that they really didn’t have a lot of time for themselves. Between working 40 and sometimes 50 hour weeks and taking care of my sister and me, their time was limited.
But when I entered the workforce, I realized that I had a great misconception of how working for someone else really worked. Let me tell you I realized fairly quickly that I didn’t want to do this for the rest of my life. There had to be something else.
Getting Started
Then I remembered how I use to dream about having my own business. I had several home based business ideas swirling around in my head. All of them were good at least in my opinion. I just had to pick one and decide on how to make it work. Once I chose the one I wanted getting it started was the next step.
First step is to remember that this not a work from home type of deal. This is going to be a home based business!!! I will still need to work a J-O-B to help get my business up and running. That is the downfall to most startup home based businesses. They quit their jobs too early. You have some home based business ideas to chose from. You pick one. Get it all set up and ready to go and then you quit your job!!! How in the world are you going to finance your venture until it gets on its feet?
Sad to say that sometimes we need to keep that job to help fund our home based business ideas. Having that steady income coming in helps offset costs to running a business. It also ensures that bills will be paid to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads.
Getting a new home based business up and fully functioning takes time and money. So don’t give up your job just yet.
CHOOSE YOUR IDEA – HOME BASED BUSINESS IDEAS
There are several ideas out there to chose from. You become your own travel agent. Maybe you have a flare for fashion. There are some people who will pay you to be their own personal shopper. You can become a home decorator. I have a friend of mine who designs personal mailboxes as her home business. She does an amazing job. My cousin has started her own jewelry business with native jewelry designs. She does a fabulous job and showcases her heritage in her work.
Hobbies also make great home base business ideas. Maybe you are mechanically inclined and love to tinker with engines, motors, cars and anything with wheels. You would be someone who is talented in custom painting and design. Do you have some artistic skills with paint and brush? I know there are several people who love to have unique and creative designs in their homes as well as on their vehicles.
SOCIAL MEDIA SKILLS
Are you a social flower? Do you like to entertain people or organize parties and social events? I bet you are great on social media platforms. Guess what, there is a business out there for your special skills. With the right training, you can turn your social media skills into social marketing. By using Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and even LinkedIn, you can create an amazing Social Media home based business to help promote yourself and your skills.
WRITING YOUR TALENT
Do you have any writing skills? I love to write. Putting my ideas on paper and creating a story or blog is amazing. I get a feeling of accomplishment every time I see my story on paper or posted on the internet. Did you know that there are home based business ideas that cater to just such a talent. It is called blogging. It is becoming the rage of the era. With this platform, you can encompass just about all your home based business ideas. All you need is a website and just a few lessons on how to incorporate all your skills into a blog and market it.
USING A WEBSITE TO BLOG – HOME BASED BUSINESS IDEAS
The best way to use a blog for creating a home based business is by using a website. Most places nowadays have one. Even Walmart has its own website. The government, hospitals, churches, banks and big businesses use websites to market their information. With the right website platform, you can create individual and unique pages on just about everything. So instead of only being able to fulfill one home based business idea, you can now fulfill all your home based business ideas.
If you think this is all just not possible, let me tell you that it is. I use this platform every day. It amazing. Remember that I told you I love to right. Well, using this technique allows me to write about all my favorite things. Imagine being able to write about my favorite shoes, the fits and style. Then have a company allow me to market for them using my blog page about my shoes. Guess what happens then. If they click on a link in my blog and pay a pair of shoes, I get a commission from the sale. So my article about my own personal experience about shoes helps to give someone a reason to purchase shoes. How great is that!!!
YOUR BATTLE WITH WEIGHT
We all have to battle the bulge sometime in our lives. If you haven’t yet, believe me it is coming. I have struggled with weight since I had my last child, almost 28 years ago. Either from age or just laziness, I am not sure, but it just will not go away on a permanent basis. It keeps fluctuating no matter what I do. I starve myself or cut out eating my favorite foods and lose the weight. Guess what, as soon as I start eating them again, her comes the weight. I am Southern. Because of that I love to cook and eat. So giving up my favorite foods is so not an option.
Well, since I started my blog site, I can now write about my experiences. It might relate to someone who is going through the same thing and give them some hope that their is a solution. And yes, I have found that solution. This wonderful program that uses coffee, hot chocolate and other natural drinks and remedies that has helped me continue to lose the weight and keep it off. Again, they have a program that allows me to use my blog page to make income. Thereby, making my blog site another way to generate income and turning my home based business idea into another income stream.
