Use the Internet to Build Your Business

Label: ,

Building your business by using the Internet can be a very effective way to get going quicker. By adding a website your own business you have immediately added a new way for customers to look at your products and purchased from you.

There are several things that you must know before starting your business on the Internet. You may have heard many things about starting an Internet business that are simply not true. Today we are going to talk about truth versus fantasy when it comes to Internet business.

You may have heard that starting an Internet business can make you wealthy overnight. This is simply not true. Whether you are doing your business locally or on the Internet it will still require a lot of hard work on your part to become successful. Be sure to watch out for any body who tells you that you can purchase a website from them that will make you rich overnight. The Internet is filled with many people who will try to scam you out of your money. Be sure to check out any offers thoroughly before investing your hard-earned money. Rule of thumb here is, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Another thing you may have heard is that starting an Internet business is easy and anyone can do it. The truth is it is not easy and many people have tried have failed, in fact most have failed. It is best that you know that in advance because if you think it's going to be easy and you're not willing to put in hard work and you're better off to not even try to start your business on the Internet.

When you start your home business, you may decide that it is a good idea to have a website also to promote it besides promoting locally in your area. Having a website will make your business look more professional and give it more opportunity for growth. If you had never designed a website yourself, it is a good idea to invest in someone who knows how to design a website and make it effective in getting
listed in the search engines. Be sure to read everything you can about marketing on the Internet and setting up an Internet business before you start.

Another false impression people get about the Internet, is that if they build a website then they can just relax and let it do the work for them. This is simply not true. Once you have built the website, the work has just begun. You then need to get traffic to your website. Traffic will not miraculously just show up at your website because you have a great website. You have to let people know that you have a website and put it offers. People want to know what's in it for me they're looking for a website. You will need to
promote it effectively to let them know that you are website offers what they are looking for.

You will need to promote your website heavily in order to get enough traffic to it to make a successful business. You will want to submit your site to search engines, website directories, write articles and submit them, and get your link on as many targeted websites as you can.

It is important that you read as much information as you can about Internet marketing in order to get your business going right. If you follow directions correctly and take the time to make your site one that people will want to visit, and as long as you promote it correctly, you can have a very good business.

Resume Writing Tips For Stay at Home Moms

Label:


Resume writing for women who are stay at home moms and are looking to re-enter the workforce can be a tricky deal. Being a stay at home mom is a wonderful thing and all women who decide to do that should be commended, but now comes the challenge of writing a solid resume so that you can get back to working on a full time basis. The main problem for all you stay at home moms is that now when you prepare your resume you will have a gap in employment. This does not look good but there are some things you can do that will help you fill in those gaps and be more likely to get an interview and eventually a job.

Here are some simple tips for preparing your stay at home mom resume:

 Don't get cute: It may sound cute to put 'Household CEO' or 'Professional kid taxi' on your resume, but the fact is it may actually hurt you. This is contrary to a lot of opinions and there is no doubt that being a stay at home mom is indeed a full time job, but there are those who will not agree with your decision or wished they could have stayed at home like you did. What you may inadvertently do by getting cute is turn of the individual going over your resume. If that happens, you will never get an interview and obviously you won't get the job you are after either.

 Look past your home life: Most stay at home moms don't have much idle time on their hands, but when they do it is generally put it to good use. This can be done in the form of volunteering, continued education, or even some freelance part-time work. By highlighting this on your resume you show the potential employer that you were committed to using and maybe even sharpening your skills while you were not in the workforce full time. Volunteer work is especially great here as many volunteer jobs are more demanding than the jobs you will be applying for.

 Highlight past experience: If you worked before you decided to stay at home with the kids, then you should of course highlight that. You will naturally be putting on your resume anyway, but perhaps there was some way in which you stayed somewhat involved with your former profession. If so be sure to include it.

 Don't leave the time gap blank: Whatever you do, don't leave the time that you were at home blank on your resume. You may be the best stay at home mom ever, but the potential employer doesn't know that, so do your best and make sure something goes down.
Remember, the entire point of a good resume is to make it appealing enough to get the potential employer to call you in for an interview. Once you get your foot in the door, you can explain the time you spent at home however you see fit.

Stay at Home Moms

Label:


This battle has been taking place since the late 70's and has been heating up for quite sometime.
Of course there are the "professionals" and their studies that point to the advantages of both sides. But let's be real...cite one study and I'll show you one that contradicts it. So who's right and who's wrong?

I'll let you in on a little secret, look in the mirror! The person looking back is the one who's right. Don't ever forget that.

Simply look at this social issue logically. You're the mother, the parent, and if you are part of a relationship, a wife or partner. From the moment your child was born, even though that precious little baby didn't come with an instruction booklet, he or she did come with a gift. The gift comes in the form of the innate sense that you have which tells YOU above anyone else, that you know what is best for your child. Parents, not psychologists, not CEO's, not educators or Phd's with the latest statistics know what your child needs.

Sure, when making a decision you should always perform due diligence. Parents should always weigh in both sides and gather information when contemplating the tough issues that affect their kids. But the good news is, with the advent of the internet and the vast amount of opportunities available to women and men to work from home, this choice may be more black and white than what all of the rhetoric has made out to be.

Remember when we talked about that "innate sense" that you have within you regarding your child? Guess what, no one has it for your baby like you. And your baby has a built in trust that you know just what she needs. Your Nanny or Day Care provider can perform a service and do their job, but your child NEEDs you. No amount of money can buy that built in voice that tells you what your son wants when he cries or what motivates your daughter to learn her alphabet. Mom knows, and she knows best! So stop undermining yourself and your ability to do right by your child.

The good news is, you can have both! You don't have to stop working to stay at home. Now, if you have an infant, then no one would expect you to just charge out there and start a business in between trying to remember your name from the lack of Z's that you've had lately. But when your baby develops a good sleep pattern and you can actually get on some type of schedule, staying home and working from home is a viable solution to this debate between stay at home moms vs. working mom's. And in the long run, the whole family will benefit.

Maybe you have a special skill or hobby that you can draw from to start a business. Perhaps you want to work online, or maybe work out of your home. Many moms are scared because they are afraid that if they give up their career, they will loose out on things like social security or re-entry into the work force when the kids are grown.

Look at the tax advantages of having a home based business, they are pretty appealing. You can also open an individual IRA, check with your financial institution about these types of options. Taking care of yourself means you are also taking care of your family.
Personally, the decision to walk away from an executive level job for my children to become a stay at home mom has not been without it's challenges. But now that they are 13, 11 and 9 I have begun to see the many rewards that came from that choice. Frankly, I can not begin to imagine missing out on their childhood and each and every moment that I could never get back if I would have went "away" to the office every day.

Committed parents are the key to a child's future success and choosing to stay at home with a child is one powerful method of commitment.
