Current Trends Encourage More People to Work from Home

Posted by admin as Uncategorized

OK, so we are still thinking about a business from home_work. I read some very interesting insights from University of Missouri Live and Learn and will share a few here. Linda Benedict states:

“To be successful at a home-based business, you not only have to be good at what you do,
but you have to be good at letting others know how good you are at what you do.
You have to come up with a plan to get your product or service in the market place.
You have to come up with a marketing plan.

This marketing plan involves two parts:

* You have to figure out who the market is
* You have to make the product or service known to that market. These two work together.”

Getting the word out and doing it well is all new in today’s world. In days of old, letting others know what you had and how good you are was door to door (too dangerous and out of the question for women), and then home parties and “meet-ups” (too time consuming (more on that in another post)). And finally there is the internet. Sounds crazy but now even some internet techniques are “old hat”.

The article goes on to discuss the best and most trusted form of marketing…Word-of-mouth. This type of promotion is particularly valuable for a home-based business because it’s free. Be sure the word passed is favorable.

So what happened here. I was talking about the internet and then all of a sudden I am talking about word of mouth. Well, actually, word of mouth on the internet is the hottest and best and fastest way to get the word out on your business from home_work. It is called Web 2.0 and social media. This is huge and requires a bit of navigation as it is growing daily and I will post greatly on this topic.
