“B” is for Bookkeeping Business

Let’s look at a “B” busiiness – Bookkeeping. If you are good with math and like detail, starting a bookkeeping business may be ideal for you.

Your best bet would be to find owners of small businesses who cannot afford to pay a bookkeeper full-time and who are too busy to do the bookkeeping themselves, or who may not like that aspect of the business. Many of them would be happy to hire out the bookkeeping. If you can secure a good number of these clients, you can be easily kept busy with this business.

Let’s Play the Alphabet Game of Home Businesses

I thought it would be fun to do a spin-off on a popular game – the alphabet game. But we’ll relate it to home businesses. I may need some help when we get to “Q!”

A – Sell Antiques

Locating antiques and reselling them can be a lucrative home based business. You have to really know your antiques to be able to spot them. This can be a fun business, especially for a retired couple, who enjoy looking around for items. You can even include some travel to locate antique items.

A change to my homepage

Recently, I redesigned my homepage to make it more clear to people. I know, sometimes, we can get so used to looking at our own sites that it’s hard to see them from the eyes of a visitor.

I am doing some coaching with someone and they suggested that my homepage was a little “busy.” So, we decided to take some things off and make the focus three different areas. I ask my visitors what their most important need is.

Work from Home On The Computer

Hi,

Well, my son is off on another golf weekend. This time in Lake Placid. I think he’s thoroughly enjoying the flexibility of working from home.

To bring our discussion of creating an online business to a close, I thought we could look at some other possibilities of things you do to work online that I have previously mentioned in other posts.

Looking for Christian Proofreading Jobs?

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 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.

How To Sell Things on Ebay

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.

How to Create an Online Business

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. 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.

How to Create an Online Business

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.
