Work From Home Australia Blog by James Hannan

One of the most common questions coming to us has been “what is the best work at home business” or “how do I find the best work at home business?”

Firstly let me say I do believe that there is just one. I believe that there are many different work from home business opportunities out there for you to choose from. It will be up to you to choose the one that is right for you. You will be the one that decides to make a go of it or to stay in the same situation you are in today.

The people I work with every day have made a decision that they are changing their future and getting out of the rat race. No matter what opportunity you choose you are going to find good and bad points. Make a decision now that no matter what happens you will choose to look for the good and see the glass as half full rather than half empty. This will help you to see through the clouds of confusion that will come and make decisions that will support your future instead of hampering it.

Below you will find information that will help you make the right choices on finding the best work at home business opportunity for you. Like I said though, there are many you can choose from and I do not make any guarantee that you find the best one the first time. I think I have found the best one for me, you will have to do the same work I have done to get the same result.

What to look for when searching for the best work at home business?

• Stability: How long have they been in action and what is their track record?
• Product Line: Is it something that interests you?
• Proprietary product line: How much competition do they have?
• Company Directors: Are they people that care about others or do they only care about the bottom line?
• History: What has been their history with support and growth?
• Market: Who would want their products, is it a growing market or a shrinking one?
• What is the training and support: Will they look after you and help you as an individual?

If Looking At Network Marketing What Questions Do You Ask The Associate?

• What is the team’s success record: Do they have a history of developing major income earners and helping people achieve their dreams?
• How do they mentor and train their associates: What support systems do they have for your personal and business development?
• Is the leader actively building the business or are they in retirement mode: For you to find the best work at home business the support you will receive from the top people will be crucial… YOU DO NOT want to be with someone that is in retirement mode..
• Can you make money quickly: The best work at home businesses will allow you to make money quickly and easily? You don’t want to have to wait a long time to make money. We help people to make thousands in their first 90 days. (obviously no guarantees but many do)
• How can you market: Can you market both online and offline. How are you going to build your business?

Questions to ask yourself. (Remember that the best work at home businesses are generally the best because you make them that way)

• Do you get along with the person you are speaking to: If you don’t why are you talking to them. Find someone else, don’t let this stop you.
• Are they someone you could build a long term business relationship with? You are going to be working together for a long time. Make the right choice.
• Do you feel comfortable – what is your gut telling you? Generally you will ALWAYS know what is the right choice for you before you ever make a move.
• Would you use or take their products? If not you will find it hard to convey any type of confidence.
• Are you ready to start a business and make money? Sometimes it is not the right time for you. If it is great but if it is not then don’t waste your time or anyone else’s.

Finding the best work at home business opportunity takes time and sometimes you wont know until you are actually in it and working away.

Big income earners don’t take a long time to make choices. They go with their gut most of the time and then work on making it all happen. You will more than likely be in the same situation.

Remember you will be the one that makes your business the best work at home business so go for it.

Below is a video labeled “How to find the best work at home business”. We put it together and cover a little more on what you should be looking for.

In my book Dual Networking I cover IN DEPTH what you should do for yourself in business. Make sure you grab your copy.

The Blueprint of finding and building the best work at home business

Check out our video that shows you how to find the best work at home business:

With over 10 years experience in this industry and after helping tens of thousands of people get started in business for themselves I still get amazed at the deception that is still happening.

It breaks my heart to see good people being taken for a ride as they get guided down the path of lies and false promises.

They are like an animal that has the headlights of a semi trailer baring down on them, the animal is bedazzled by the bright and unusual sight until…BANG…it is too late and the poor animal lies injured or worse on the side of the road.

Unfortunately this happens to too many people in this amazing industry. You drive along the road in any direction of this industry and you will see the carnage of miss informed and under trained people who have had their hearts broken because their dreams that they believe could one day become reality have all of a sudden been dashed…

What am I talking about? It is something that has held people back from enjoying the fullness of this industry. You will know it as soon as I say it. You just have to go on the internet and read the blogs, posts and new websites that are being promoted in the “Sponsored Links” area on google.

They promise you the world but deliver very little.

They say words like “easy money” and “easy business”… Today we are going to help you not get deceived by other people or by your own thoughts that may or may not be true. We want you to succeed in your work from home business

The deception is… …that you can start a work from home business and have to invest nothing…

This is a lie. Sure there may be varying degrees of the amount of money you have to invest, however, for you to be successful and earn a SERIOUS income, I am not talking about a few hundred dollars or even a couple of thousand dollars per month, I am talking about $5,000 per month or more, you will have to invest into your work from home business and yourself. The thing to remember, when you invest into your business is you are actually investing into yourself and your dreams.

Now I know some of you may be thinking “I don’t have a lot of money”, that’s OK I just want you to realise that nothing is free and for you to have a realistic view of business.

Let me clarify something… When I got started working from home, the thing that attracted me was that I could earn a high income with a very small outlay, did you notice that I said very small not FREE. When I hear people promoting FREE work from home businesses I ask myself “whats the catch…” Lets face it, we all know it’s true, you need to invest money into a business to make money from that business. Now that could be for products, (which it was for my case) or it could be for training, computers, resources etc etc etc…

For less then $1500 I was able to establish a business for my self. I could work from home with out the pressure of getting a huge loan from the bank and having to make sure there was enough money coming in each week to pay the staff BEFORE I paid myself, if you already own a business you know what I am talking about.

People often ask me, “when should I leave my job?”, my answer is always the same, unless you absolutely have to, DON’T…Why would you give up extra income, but if you do have to leave that job then don’t do it until you are earning at least DOUBLE what your full time job is paying you and you want to see that type of money coming in for at least 3 – 6 months continuously before making that decision.

Anyway the moral to this story is: Don’t fall for the trap and believe the deciept that is out there that you can get started in business and earn a serious income without investing SOMETHING…Be prepared to invest not only your time but also you finances

So from me, if you are serious about having a home based business then treat it serious and be prepared to invest in it, yourself and your future. Don’t play around with it, nothing great was ever achieved by people who treated things as a hobby, commitment is required.

If we can help you with anything or if you are looking for a business for yourself and you think we may have what you are looking for then reply to this email and we will see if we can help you.

God Bless you and we pray for your future

The Blueprint for Business Development and Profitability

No matter what industry you are in and what product you are selling, the internet has become the tool to master or at least include into your world domination plans.

In all business expansion, whether you are just getting started or you have a well established business you are going to rely on marketing and advertising at one stage. How well you do will depend on how good you are with more different factors than I care to mention.

Many new business owners tend to throw good money after bad. Wasting the little resources they have in the hope that they will get lucky and hit the big time. This happens very rarely, it is the person that does their research and monitors their spending activities that will be the true winner.

Yes it is true that you can spend too much time analyzing a too little time doing but the same is also true when you reverse this. You can spend too much time doing and not enough time analysing.

When I first got started I took the spatter gun approach. I would aim in the middle of the crowd from a mile a way and hope that I hit something. More often than not I missed and ended up wasting time, effort, money and emotional energy.

All of which I did not have much of to waste.

Social Networking is fast becoming the way of smart marketers. It allows you as a business owner to build relationships quickly with people from all walks of life all over the world with no respect for borders. I love it.

My background before getting involved in Internet Marketing was in the corporate field. Everything was “Belly to Belly, Face to Face” relationships had to be built over coffee, functions and long meetings. It was expensive, time consuming and required you to be on your toes all the time. We started to implement the technology into what we were doing and found that our results started to come easier and quicker. So much so that we started to find it hard to keep up. We implemented a simple email campaign that built a relationship with the clients before we ever spoke. This was back in2001 and now we have done something similar for our clients that is seeing even bigger results again. It is allowing us to build and grow our multi million dollar business from home and make an ever increasing cash flow while having time for ourselves and freedom to do what we want when we want.

That little bit of technology has changed our business forever and it is called an autoresponder. Today I am going to take you through how you can use that same technology to build your business on the back of a Social Networking phenomenon.

So lets get started in understanding Social Networking, but first let me ask you some questions.

So how does all this fit into Social Media Marketing?
Well firstly you need to know and understand that the business you are in is constantly changing and the ways that are becoming open to you continue to grow. The internet has become the most cost effective was to market and any person wanting a business needs to start to build their understanding of technology and how it can help them become successful.
There is a lot of ways to advertise on the internet however they all cost money and sometimes they will cost you a fortune. You can into something like Google Adwords after reading someones article and think that you just have to put up an ad direct them to your site and you will make a fortune, this is far from the truth. If you dont get your keywords right and your ad and your landing page and your offer etc etc etc you could have wasted more than you had planned for. Social Networking is a little more gracious than that. It allows you to put time and effort in without the money. Social Networking Sites are free. They welcome you as an individual to come and build relationships with any person you want to at no charge.

You can’t do this with adwords or any other type of paid media. Does it take time? YES, you have to be patient and be prepared for the long road ahead. As you build the relationships and start to your message out there you will find “Evangelists” people who want others to know about what you are saying and they will go to work on your behalf. As your list of followers and friends grow so do the evangelists, the ones that just can’t stop talking about you and the value that you bring to them and their business. You become the person that is the answer, the guru….This is what you are working on. Becoming the guru.

How serious are you about getting long term profitable results for your business?
Social Networking is not for the short sighted person. It is only for the person who has a long time view. Remember that this type of marketing takes time. Be prepared to take time out each day to build the relationships and bring value to the communities you are involved in.
How serious you are about success in your business will show through by your commitment to the people you interact with. Be prepared to answer their questions and become the mentor they have been looking for. Obviously you better make sure you do know what you are talking about because if you don’t they will spread the word and your name will become mud.
The internet is harsh like this. Information can spread faster then the swine flue so you better be building your knowledge constantly. Subscribe to newsletters, blogs and feeds and start to claw through the information. Find what is relevant and pass that information on.
Remember though, time is the key when it comes to building with Social Media especially if you are just getting started. You hear about those people who just sign up to twitter and with in a month they have thousands of followers. Generally these people already had a large following on their email list or actually bought the following. For the rest of us, it takes time.

Are you good with people?
As with any business, your success will be reliant on how you are with people. Do you take the time to get to know them or do you hope that they are just interested in getting to know you. Let me help you here.
If you are only interested in people getting to know you your relationships will end very quickly because it is all about you. Having the ability for you to ask questions of your followers and subscribers will become imperative and allow you to specifically market to peoples interests and needs. Smart marketers are always more interested in their prospects than they are in their own thoughts. When you can get the information on what your clients and prospects are looking for you will be able to put together tools and resources that will help them in their marketing pursuits.

Questions really are the answers to your success with Social Networking. Ask the people you are speaking to what it is they are interested in and what it is they are looking for. Get them to trust you and what you are offering.
Become their friend…

Do you have patience?
Some of you reading this are not really going to be interested in this part. As I get older I get to see how important patience really is. The more patient you become the bigger the results. Not everything has to be done immediately. Some of my biggest successes have come after years of waiting. Building Dual Networking has taken 10 years and we are still building.
BE PATIENT…Social Networking takes time. It takes time to build your list of QUALITY FOLLOWERS not just junkies…Don’t rush it. Yes the more time you put into the process the quicker and bigger the results.

Do you have cash to spare?
If you don’t have too much spare cash than you need to be doing Social Networking because it is FREE. Yes you should be buying as many training resources as you can to learn what is needed but all in all your marketing is free. Don’t miss that opportunity.

Keep an eye out for our in depth training that will be coming soon on Social Networking. We will be taking you through the hype and getting you to the best of the best.

As I watch the news or listen to the radio. I continually hear the dispair in the voices of those people worrying about what will the future hold for them.

As they see their retirement plan go down the toilet or their job hangs by a thread, many are wondering what they should be doing.

The Work from Home Industry has always had a saying and it goes something like this:

“in the good times we do really well, in the bad times business goes through the roof”

So what I am saying in this very short post is, start working your business hard, get out there and show people that this is a solution to their problems. Don’t sell the product, instead talk to them about their needs. Find out what is really concerning them and then help alleviate their concerns.

If you are not in business for yourself in the home based industry then you are missing out. Find one you like and get started NOW. Don’t wait until you lose your job or more of your savings. Make a start today.

Well yesterday I got interviewed on National Radio. To say I was excited would be an understatment. The response has been amazing with people getting in contact with our office from all over the country.
I love what we do and being able to help so many people has been a true blessing.
I was able to record it so I will be putting that up here very soon.
I will keep you posted on further updates.

Hi,

Who ever knows what to write in their first post. We have only just put this blog up. I guess it is my place online to share what is happening in my world. Family, Friends, Business and life in general is what you will find here.

A seed has been planted in my heart, that maybe, just maybe I will be able to help some people be more then they ever thought they could be. That I would start with my family and see them and the people we connect with impact the world in a positive way.

I know this sounds like some euphoric dream, but hey, you have to start somewhere so why not here.

When you come by,  make sure you leave a comment, be  nice though, remember this is my online home.If you want business help check out our business site Work from Home Australia.
