    Home Based Internet Business - Jeff Zbar

    What Is a Home-Based

    A home-based Internet business is different from almost any other business. It:

    Uses the Internet and computer to source, market, sell, and ship products.

    Reduces the reliance on an expensive brick-andmortar storefront location.

    Fits the retailer’s lifestyle, allowing the retailer to sell or work at the hours that suit his/her needs, even while on vacation.

    This guide explores how entrepreneurs can launch successful businesses from home using a computer, a tablet, a smartphone, and the Internet.

    Why Start a Home-Based Internet Business?

    A home-based Internet business provides freedom. An Internet business affords the entrepreneur freedom to pursue a business alongside an existing job or to create a new career.

    Costs, and sometimes risks, are lower compared to those of a traditional brick-and-mortar business.

    The sky’s the limit: an Internet business may open more options for a solo entrepreneur than a traditional business.

    Security is often found with being self-employed.

    Beware of Home Business Scams

    Every day, inboxes and spam filters receive countless get-rich-quick opportunities. Don’t fall for these. When responding to a new business offer, ask for several references, contact the Better Business Bureau or Department of State in the state in which the company is registered, or search the web. Not all are scams, but be sure to protect yourself before investing.

    Home Business Resources

    Home business owners must know about or have advisors for the following:

    Laws and incorporation

    Taxes and accounting

    Home business zoning

    Business strategy and planning

    How Online Entrepreneurs Operate

    These entrepreneurs are:

    Independent. They’re willing to explore, stumble, and succeed.

    Tech-savvy. They’re game to learn about online shopping carts, advertising and affiliate programs, website setup, and social media.

    Willing to work hard and at odd hours to do the job.

    What Business Should You Pursue?

    Expansion or extension of an existing retail business to a wider, even global, market

    A saleable craft or hobby whose products or services can be sold online

    Anything you know—and that the market is hungry for

    What’s Your Niche for an Online Home Business?

    Product: This can be a product that is bought and resold at a profit or a craft or hobby that is produced by hand and sold online to consumers.

    Service or consulting: Knowledge-based
