Home Based Business (its concepts and requirements)

Home Based Business (its concepts and requirements)

Our post today is about home based business “HBB”, this type of business considers as one of the most types that users misunderstand its concept and requirements. Therefore, our aim from this post is to identify these concepts and requirements in order to clarify such type of business easily and simply

So, in order to do so these questions should be answered:

What is home based business?

Well, home based business “HDD” is: one of the small business types in which its owner operate it from his home office, using the internet or other communication tools for the purpose of communicating with his/ her customers

What kind of concepts this business rely on?

It should be noted that home based business created for the purpose of owning a business (idea, service, product...etc) which the owner may use a small number of employees (usually his/her family or friends) to facilitate and operate that business

Nevertheless, there are number of concepts that must be clear to determine such kind of business, which are:

v  Home based business is a separate type of business; which mean that this type of business is not established as one of online marketing types or for marketing purposes (you may do that), as if you do so then you deal with home based marketing not business

v  In home based business the owner own the business; by owning an idea, service, product or such in which the owner build his business to generate money by selling what he owns. (in some cases you may not own what you sell, which mean that your business bases on mix concepts that cover home based business and other types such as affiliate marketing or online marketing)

v  In home based business the owner is not (or could not be) an employee; in other words if you established a home based business then you must understand that you are the owner of that business in which no one can control that business except you, as you do not work under the control of any one. So, if you are dealing with any business that you do not control it then that business is not your own, this point is one of the scam offers that exist online in which scammers use to mislead online users by claiming that what they provide is an opportunity to gain your own business which in fact is not

v  In home based business you are entitled as an owner; the responsibility that fall upon you in home based business is not as scammers claims, as you are entitled legally as an owner when you established such type of business, in which you must be careful and prepared in case you established a home based business

What requirements should I consider in my business?

Well, there are many requirements that you should adopt and apply in your business but at least you must adopt the follows:

v  Legit business; as some types are prohibited by some regulations to be adopted as home based business. So make sure that your business is not prohibited under the provisions of your regulations

v  Legit subject-matter (idea, service, product...etc)

v  Legit purpose and tools, that you may use to operate your business (see our previous posts)

v  Legit marketing (see our previous posts)

v  Legit advertising (see our previous posts)

v  Legit description and information that you may provide to your customers (see our previous posts)

v  Security, privacy, and protection (see our previous posts)

This is briefly what you should acknowledge about the concepts and requirements of home based business. Hope you find this post useful

Legit Profitable Business (Online Business 2011)

Legit profitable business (Online Business 2011)

Yes our post today is about how and what you need to set and establish a legit online business, a profitable legit business, in 2011. First allow me to define what I believe the simple definition of legitimate online business:

“That kind of activities that set online (internet) to provide, sell or market a service, product or personal knowledge for the purpose of commercial or civil intentions; by applying the necessary legal requirements and customs that set for that purpose”. This is simply how I identify online business and in which I can understand most of the new concepts and tools that cover such kind of business

Now to the first big question which is how you can establish a legit online business (2011)? Well, it is known that such kind of business can be easily set by any one nowadays, but it is hard or not clear regarding the legal requirements that online business must base on in order to be set legally

Therefore, if you are willing to set a legit online business, it is recommended to adopt and apply the follow tips and advises:

1.      Specify the type of your business. By clarifying your right niche, this is the first step to success in your business

2.      Identify your tools. By choosing the right methods to market and advertise your business, this step shall cover the basic elements to reach to your customers

3.      Specify your targeted customers. By illustrating what kind of online users might be interested in your business, this step shall give you a clear vision about how extant your business might be profitable

4.      Identify your service or product. In this step you must be careful and choose wisely what your business bases on, as you should provide or sell something that deem unique and useful in order to handle the high competition that might face you online

5.      Adjust your online shop, such as your site, blog, or any other online page you use for your business. This step shall give you the chance to control your business regarding the commercial, legal and technical features

6.      Provide a realistic offers or service. In order to legalise your business and to make it seems legit, you must always be honest and avoid any dreamy or unrealistic descriptions or advantages regarding your business, yourself, service or product

7.      Set your general terms briefly and set your main terms with enough details

8.      Avoid any repeat that you may use to highlight a point, instead make it appear clearly and leave the customer navigate what you present or provide

9.     Please read our previous posts because we do not like to repeat our posts

Why to adopt others methods, create your own method?!

In order to provide a unique business that seems interested to your customers, use and adopt a personal method of marketing that declared your personality or your business uniqueness. In this stage you may use any traditional tool of marketing and modify it in a way that show and include your personal touch, which would make it a special tool that advantage your business

 Online advertising and marketing:

It is unacceptable when users mix between these two differ concepts. Whereas, each concept has a special ground, tools and aims that differ from the other. In other words, online marketing deems wider and contain online advertising, whether regarding online business or any other online activity or transaction. Nevertheless, both concepts meet in one major point which is the aim of using such tools in regard with online business (to reach to customers). It should be noted that online advertising consider as one of online marketing tools (we will write a post regarding this point)

Most importantly, as a business owner you must distinguish between these concepts and you must use wisely when and where to use each concept in your business, in addition to how you may reach your targeted customers basing on these tools?

What is a profitable business?

Finally, in order to set a legit profitable business you need to identify the meaning of the profit that you are seeking after. As such term rely on the aim and purpose of establishing the business. Whereas, a profitable business may relate to money, traffic, global reach, uniqueness or any other purpose that you are aiming to reach and achieve of that business. So make sure to identify your profit term at first in order to make your path clear
