Here are Internet businesses that can be started from your home with low expenses and little training required. They are listed below.

The hate part, ironically, helps you to get business the easiest. You do the part the owners hate. Just that simple.

This is even though they know that it is a totally necessary function of their business and they know it. This is where you enter the business picture.

To be successful at this, you must be accurate, thorough, honest and possess spreadsheet and accounting software proficiency. Your honesty and attention to detail must be impeccable.

In this, the computer age, you can now take up long distance learning with many colleges and universities across the country and even the world. Advanced classes are also now available this way.

If you are changing from a career that you excelled in and maintain an interest, you can offer consulting services in that field and industry. Consulting is a multi billion dollar industry in the USA alone.

Many retirees are doing this for income and even more so, for something to do to keep active. Age and experience are major assets for you if you are older.

Consulting gets more popular as everyone from MDs to n business start up entrepreneurs need help from experienced and competent experts. The men and women in this great general field increase every year as technology allows for unlimited distance communication and help.

Anyone competent in virtually any field can now do consulting work. I use one myself and could not ever go on working my business without my consultant.

Interestingly, I consult with him also so we help each other. This keeps consulting costs down some.

The honest trick is to know more about your specialization field than your clients for whom you work. You need to be dependable, organized, constantly available and able to convey materials and information needed accurately and fairly quickly.

Many consulting businesses thrive today while working from home on the Internet. Customers prefer this method for convenience, speed and comfort. Briefly, here are the top Internet consulting businesses you can begin from your home.

The first is advertising consultations, which may work on a small business Web site, if not designing then by setting up opt in marketing campaigns, writing content, developing downloadable brochures plus planning advertising strategies online and offline.

Another is auditing consultancy which is another of the top Internet businesses you can begin from your home. You might be contracted to audit publication circulation, or any number of statistical documents for the goal of verification or decision making.

Still another consulting field is business which offers different services and makes one of the best online businesses startable from home. As a business consultant, the service is important, to start up small businesses owners needing staff consultants for this valuable service.

Other fields of Internet businesses you can start from home include business writing, editing services, career counseling, communications services, computer consultation, executive search and grant writing.

If you have training and experience in any of these fields you can start small and grow at your own pace.

Whether you lead just a few or a few thousand people in your MLM business, there’s one very specific quality you must have. Develop this one quality and achieving MLM success will be A LOT easier.

If you do not tell the truth, your downline may be friendly to you…but they probably won’t follow you.

Truth means: that which is factual based on observable data.

There has been much written about truth, a lot having to do with philosophy and religion. I don’t wish to go there in this conversation. My only interest in the subject (as it pertains to the MLM industry) is that we, as a group, stop destroying our income and our reputation by not telling the truth.

I know telling the truth should go without saying, but I have to discuss it because it is one of the Ten Communication Qualities that make up a great communicator; yet also a major problem in the network marketing community that needs to be corrected for the MLM industry to grow to its fullest potential.

In 1991 my income dropped – like a brick falling from the top of a building – from a monthly gross of $68,000 to $16,000 – just because people were not telling the truth.

A member of the media sneaked into my colleague’s business meeting and recorded the dialogue that occurred. Although it was a painful experience for me, the biggest loss stems from the CONSTANT number of people we repel because of not telling the truth.

Not only that, but every time we (I’m talking about me and you) don’t tell the truth, we feel icky inside. Observe a dog that has done something wrong – do they come strutting into the room? Not at all! They actually hide under the couch. Their ears and tail hang low. They don’t feel worthy. The same is true for us. That icky-ness actually causes us to not feel worthy that others follow our advice…and so they don’t.

Five broad categories of not telling the truth have gotten individuals and/or companies in trouble and have stopped them from growing to their fullest potential. They are listed below.

1. False income representation or suggesting others can earn a stated level of income.

2. Stating that a product or service can do something that has not been substantiated.

3. Promising someone (or yourself) something and not doing it.

4. Gossiping about others. Passing information to another that does not add value.

5. Building the business in a way that is not truthful…such as suggesting distributors create fictitious accounts or positions.

As per category one above (false income representation), if you don’t know what your upline earns don’t say what you think it is. If through the grapevine you’ve heard it’s “X” amount, and you feel you must state it, say: “The rumor is that she earns ___ amount; although I’ve not verified it.”

Say nothing you don’t know is absolutely true. This gives you tremendous credibility!

When you discuss income, discuss what the prospect wants – NOT what someone else is earning. If prospects state an income they want, tell them it’s doable here (provided it is). Then state, “Some people go to school and become the President. Some become billionaires, some sell illegal drugs and some draw a welfare check. It would be impossible to know what you’re going to do with what I teach you, but there is the potential to earn a substantial income if you choose to fully apply what you’re taught.”

Category two from above is unsubstantiated product claims; which have also gotten the network marketing industry into trouble in the past. If you market a nutrition product, the current law (in the USA) is the DSHEA Act (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act), which states you can discuss what a product does, provided THAT PRODUCT is what has been proven to get results.

Most often an INGREDIENT has had some studies done on it (such as vitamin C) but your company’s product (that contains that ingredient) has NOT. Therefore, it is against the law to claim your product does ANYTHING!

Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t promote your product truthfully. You simply say something like, “The active ingredient (vitamin C) in Potent-C (an example of your company’s product) has demonstrated to increase/decrease ________ by X amount.” That way you’re not claiming your product does anything.

Telling stories of your success or others’ success with the product or the MLM business is also common. I’m not saying don’t do it. Nor am I saying to do it. Just keep in mind that the common way people get in trouble is from questionable claims reported by the media after coming in with hidden recording devices and capturing what you say. So, make sure you are not claiming anything that isn’t the truth.

If a friend went on your company’s product and stopped having migraine headaches, you honestly wouldn’t know if the reason was the product or the fact that she increased her water intake to take your product! You can’t determine what really helped her – so be very careful what you represent.

Category three is to keep your word once given. If you say you will be at a meeting at 6:45 – be there at 6:45. No excuses, just be there. If you say you’re going to help someone – help them. Keep your word. If for some reason you’re unable to keep your word, make it up to the person. Do something that shows you want to help.

But the most important person you must keep your word with is yourself. If you say you are going to bed at 11pm – go to bed at 11pm. If you say you will call five prospects a day, call five prospects a day!

When you’re honest with yourself and with others, people will trust you. This trust is what helps your MLM business to grow and be successful. My experience is that people will not follow someone they can not trust.

Tell the truth always and you will be on your way to experiencing passive income and time freedom in your MLM business.

Today anyone with some computer experience and Internet connection can built a good business Internet Marketing. In fact one of the fastest growing segment of home business, is part time Internet Marketing.

Once you dig your way through all the hype, scams and frauds, you find that there is a future in marketing on the Internet.

If your just starting Internet Marketing don’t get sucked in as a MLM affiliate. This is the reason why over 94% fail in Internet Marketing. Just a few that have their own products and their friends ever make anything.

Even if you find a MLM that is not a ponzie in disguise, there still is a big drawback. The URL you are given to promote with is long and ugly. Very few persons will click on them.

EBAY is one of the top-shopping destinations on the Internet. To register on eBay is free. You will need to provide some basic information, a Password and user name. Once you get your confirmation e-mail you will be able to login.

Next check out the guidelines before trying to sell on eBay. In fact research all information you can get from eBay. I would also suggest to go to my website, click on the archives of my Activity Internet Marketing Newsletters, and you will find many free URL listings for different information on eBay in past issues. Check it out. You will also find all kinds of free information about marketing on the Internet.

Ebay.com, ebay.ca, ebay.co.uk are very popular and busy sites. Your changes of selling are better on www.ebay.com.au. They have a population of over 22, 000, 000 and my research show sellers

are getting higher prices than in the US and Canada. There seems to be a great demand for computer devices, and electronics.

Check the weight of the products you offer for sale for shipping costs. Try products that can be downloaded for best results.

LIGHTSIDE

Herman James, A.W.O.L.

Herman James, a farmer from Moose Jaw Sask. was drafted by the Army.

On his first day in basic training, the army issued him a comb. That afternoon the army barber sheared off his hair.

On his second day, the army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon the army dentist yanked out seven of his teeth.

On the third day, the army issued him a jock strap. The army has been looking for him since.

Wife: I dreamed you gave me one thousand dollars for summer clothes last night. You would not spoil that dream, would you, Dear?

Husband: Of course not Honey, You may keep the thousand dollars.

Registering

Before you can buy or sell anything on eBay, you need to register. To do this, go to www.ebay.com and click the register link at the very top of the page.

Step One: Enter Your Personal Information

Fill in your details. You will be required to enter your address, phone number and a credit card number. The credit card number used by eBay only to check that you are who you say you are.

You will be asked to choose a User ID and password. ID should be 5 to 8 characters long and have a combination of letters, numbers. Your ID cannot be an e-mail address, must not contain profanity, spaces, tab characters.

Once you have your User ID, you will be required to fill out a password for your protection. Once you have filled in the information you will get confirmation e-mail at the e-mail address you signed under. Click on the link from e Bay. You will now be able to buy on eBay.

Once again, you will be asked to provide credit card details and your bank account number as authentication. EBay won’t charge these accounts unless you authorize the transactions. Make sure that there is no discrepancy between your credit card information and your billing address. This could result in hold-ups down the line.

Now specify how to pay seller fees. Fees are charged for listing and selling items and you need to specify how you plan to pay. If you change your mind later, you can use My eBay to change your payment method. And now you are ready to sell.

Before you begin to worry too much about what to sell on a large scale, I suggest that you start by selling an item or two that you already own to get a feel for the process.

Look around your house and find an article or two that you have no use for anymore. Something small, priced under $10.00 to get the feel of the process.

Take a good picture of it and write a good description of the article. Don’t worry if it will not sell. You will now know what not to sell on eBay. Keep a record of what sells or not for future postings.

General Rules for Sellers

As a seller, you have some very important responsibilities that should not be taken lightly. You sign an agreement with eBay when you joined; they are one set of rules you should read. Here are just a few main rules to get you started.

No Shill Bidding: Shill bidding is when you get friends or family (or you just do it yourself) to bid on your item to drive the price higher. This is cheating. It’s also illegal.

Buyer solicitation offsite: You cannot contact buyers and offer to sell to them outside eBay. Nor can buyers contact you and ask you to circumvent eBay and sell directly to them.

Seller non-performance: Once you have listed an item on eBay and people start bidding, you are contractually obligated to follow through. You cannot refuse a payment from a buyer at the end of a successful sale, nor can you fail to deliver an item for which you’ve received payment.

Rather then use my credit card online, I pay with PayPal. Paypal is owned by eBay and a safe Internet “bank”. If you don’t have a account at PayPal, check out their information at;

https://www.paypal.com/row/mrb/pal=EMXEHEG6CP2TY

What you CAN’T sell

Prohibited Items: You are unable to sell the following items on eBay because of legal and safety reasons.

Alcohol, Animals and Wildlife Products, Firearms, Plants and Seeds, Tobacco, Human remains, Current Catalogs Credit Cards, Pharmaceuticals, Perishable Items, Used cosmetics.

Dubious Items:

The following items can be sold in some circumstances, check first;

Autographed Items, Event Tickets, Police Items, Used Clothing.

This isn’t a complete list, so I recommend you check it out for yourself at: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/items-ov.html

You’re well aware that eBay earns a commission on everything you sell through eBay. Because of this, eBay is highly motivated to help you sell more stuff. One way eBay helps sellers is through eBay Seller Central’s What’s Hot area.

This eBay feature serves up a host of juicy details on fads; trends, seasonal merchandise, popular search phrases, and a whole lot more. To pull up the What’s Hot page, go to eBay’s Seller Central and click the “What’s Hot” link.

DROP SHIPPING

Drop shipping is a very good option. You don’t have to make any financial investments until you sell the product. You don’t need a warehouse to store your products. You don’t have the financial costs of buying the products, nor the packing and shipping of your products.

Pick the products you want to market, list them on your web-site or on eBay at a retail price, once a customer buys, you pay the drop-shipper the wholesale, he packs and ships the product to your customer under your shipping label.

They will not include any of their material in the package. The customer feels you shipped it out. There is no middleman, assuring you a good profit, and still sell below the normal retail price. There is no minimum purchase when you order from a drop-shipper.

You do have to do a bit of research to make sure you are dealing with an honest, reliable drop-shipper. You shouldn’t have to pay a membership fee to join.

Internet Marketing is not a quick overnight get rich program. Like any business you have to work hard, learn before you can earn.

Below is a list of a few Wholesale, Drop ship firms you can check out. They supply to persons who sell on eBay, web sites, or for your direct selling.

China Importing

There is a new player in the field you should consider. Low prices, fast delivery, you need to consider the advantages of the opportunities this presents.

The power of the Internet is breaking down barriers to communication. International phone calls are cheap or free, email is fast and efficient, and websites provide an unparalleled marketing platform.

Small businesses or even individuals are empowered to compete in an international market, and the possibilities for business connections are seemingly endless. Thanks to the www., China has never been more accessible.

China itself is full of business opportunities for foreign firms and investors, but entering the Chinese market can be a thorny business. Chinese businesses and individuals are less and less restricted by national regulations, meaning more travel, more trade, and more expansion into foreign markets.

You don’t have to travel to China; you can start at home on your computer. I found a firm that will give you a well researched mini-course in importing from china wholesale, drop shipper URL with sources listed, including sources which allow wholesale prices on smaller orders.

Some firms will drop ship direct from China. I will send this information in the middle of this month, free, to my subscribers. A few of the importers have warehouses on the West Coast, USA, which they can ship from.

One of your main assets when marketing on the Internet Is TRUST.

Start part time, earn it, and use it. Learn to earn.
