Christian Home Business Connection

Hi,

Well, continuing on with our discussion of how to create an online business, let’s look at starting a Proofreading business from home. If you are looking for Christian proofreading jobs, think about starting your own business geared toward doing proofreading for Christian business owners or authors.

You can join forums where other Christian business owners or authors congregate and make it known that you provide proofreading services. Just don’t be obnoxious about it:-) Always follow the rules of the forum in posting.

You can join Christian forums, such as the Pink Collar Club and get to know other Christians there. Let them know about the service you offer.

Hi,

Did you have a nice weekend? August weather is turning out to be nicer than July’s. I”ll take it anytime of the year:-)

Well, we have been talking about starting an online business. We’ve discussed:

• Affiliate Marketing
• Writing an ebook and selling it
• Adsense sites

Today, let’s talk about how to sell things on the ever-popular Ebay. I know you know about this option, but let’s look at some of the big advantages of Ebay.

1. It is a worldwide marketplace right there available to you
2. You will have no/low advertising costs as the market is already there
3. It is a low cost start up - mainly just Ebay fees
4. You can test the waters without much risk involved

I see these as BIG benefits. Most people are concerned about investing a chunk of money without knowing what the return will be. You really don’t have that concern with Ebay.

Hi,

Well, another weekend is almost upon us. Got any plans this weekend? The weather is supposed to be nice here, so we’ll have to enjoy it and find something to do outside:-)

Continuing on with our discussion about how to create an online business, let’ s talk about creating Adsense sites. Adsense is the term used for Google ads that you place on your website. When you let Google place ads on your site, you earn money when someone clicks on one of the ads. Now, this is not going to get you rich quick if you only have one little site that only gets a few visitors. The key here, is to have multiple sites and to get a LOT of traffic to your sites.

Adsense sites should each be focused around one central theme or topic. So, for example, you might create a site centered around golf and write articles giving golf tips, doing reviews on golf courses or golf products, etc. A tip here would be to review golf products that are AFFILIATE products, so that you would earn money from the sale of one of the products in addition to adsense.

Hi,

Let’s continue on with our discussion about how to create an online business. I think so many people look for a business that is already set up and going and want to join it. That’s fine, as long as it’s a legitimate one. But many don’t look at the possibilities there are in creating your own online business.

Last time we talked about Affiliate Marketing. That is one of my favorite ways to do business online. If there are already good products out there, why reinvent them? If you think you can do better than what’s out there, then that’s what you can do - make your own, improving on the existing ones.

Hi,

Hope you had a great weekend. My husband and I rented a canoe on Saturday and canoed on a bay in our area.

I wanted to start a series about ways you can work from home using your computer.

Today, let’s talk about Affiliate Marketing. What is Affiliate Marketing? It is the process of selling other peoples products., whether they are physical products or digital, and earning a commission each time you make a sale.

As with anything, you want to choose a “niche” and focus the affiliate products you choose around that niche. For example, if you love pets, specifically dogs, you can look for affiliate products like dog toys, clothes, or food. Or dog training videos/books. Or doggie beds and blankets.

Hi there,

Last time we talked about doing transcription at home (general transcription.) Today, I wanted to address doing Medical Transcription at home.

This can be a way to make a good, steady income at home. Medical Transcription is the process of transcribing health professional’s dictations into typed text.

You do need training in medical terminology to be able to do this. If you don’t have this background already, you can get it from the comfort of your own home with online courses or you can take some courses at a community college. Either way, you can be ready to get started in building a business in less than a year.

You’ll need some equipment, such as a computer, a printer, a transcriber and some reference books. All these can be bought used if necessary. You should also have some computer programs such as a medical spellchecker and a word expander utility to cut down on the amount of actual typing you have to do.

If you’d like to take Medical Transcription online courses, check out Virtual Learning Center.

If you have the background and just want to get started setting up your own business at home, check out the guide at the link below. It’s written by someone who’s run her own medical transcription business from home since 1994. Cut your learning curve and learn from someone who has already done it.

Enjoy your weekend!

Hi,

I come across many people who are looking for home data entry employment.  Unfortunately, I have to discourage them from that because of how many scams there are out there in that field.

What I do recommend to them, if they are a good typist, is to consider starting a Work from Home Transcription business. That would involve transcribing audio/video recordings to typed text.

There are SO many people today using audio/video presentations. Everytime I turn around I am getting another email about a call (teleseminar) being held for some reason or another. Those calls are recorded and will need transcribing.

Hi,

I hope you had a nice weekend.  Time to get back to work!

I wanted to talk today about the option of doing some work at home proofreading. I am the type of person who, while reading a story, article, etc. has a hard time concentrating on it if there are grammatical/spelling errors in it. I just want to get out my red pen and start circling! I can’t help it - it’s just a natural inclination. Imagine my poor kids during their homeschooling years!

If you can relate to this, and have an eye for detail, you may do well at a proofreading business. There are SO many people today writing articles, reports, ebooks, etc. And a lot of them need help proofreading their copy. This could be a natural fit for you if you are so inclined.
