Title: Top Tips For Starting Your New Business
Author: Roy Babineaux
Article:
Prices are going up, up, up and just about everybody is needing
a little extra cash these days. This is probably the best time
ever for you to own your own small business.
Now before you start thinking you'll have to get a bank loan,
remember that you can own a small home-based business for just a
few dollars--or even FREE.
You can easily run your home business from your kitchen table
and, frankly, you can finance your business from a few bucks you
save out of the grocery money.
How much time will it take to run your home business? That
depends on several things, but mostly it depends on how hard you
want to work your business. If you've got lots of time through
the day you can work your business, then you can go after it
full force. If you've already got a job or two, you can work
your business in the evening, in the morning before work, or on
the weekends.
The amount of money you earn will largely depend on how hard you
work your business. If you're full-time, your business can start
out earning hundreds each month and move up to several thousand
dollars a month in earnings.
Work your business part-time and you can earn anywhere from an
extra $100 to $1,000 per month. And that might be just what you
need to supplement your income from your regular job.
What kind of business should you own? Try to find one that
matches your talents and needs. If you like to talk to people
and sell them on your ideas, you would do very well in a
business that requires a little selling. You'll enjoy it and
make a lot of money at it.
If the idea of having to sell something makes you want to run
the other way, don't worry. There are businesses that require
almost no selling. About all you have to do is use the products
you sell and talk to people about the products when they ask.
Of course, new customers rarely fall into your lap. You have to
make an effort to find new prospects. Here are several simple
and cheap ways to get new customers.
1. Talk to everyone you know about your business. More than a
few will take an interest and want to buy from you.
2. Send out letters or postcards. Send 10 per week. You can get
names and addresses from clubs, associations, the chamber of
commerce, and "list brokers" who are in the business of selling
addresses. Check your Yellow Pages under "Direct Mail."
3. Put up a web site. Include all your experiences, products,
and ideas on it, then register the site with Google. It's free
to do and pretty soon all the search engines will include your
site's listing.
4. Put ads in email newsletters. It's a very cheap way to reach
thousands of people who are probably very interested in a home
business. Search Google for "ezine directory" to find sites that
list thousands of email newsletters.
5. Sell your products or service as a fundraiser for a local
non-profit. They can sell the product you supply. It's a win for
them and a BIG win for you, as you'll make money from those
sales and often grab new customers in the process.
6. Sell at flea markets in your area. Get a low-cost booth and
tell your story to anyone who will listen. That's what flea
markets are for, and you won't feel one bit out of place.
7. If you already have a web site, promote your business on your
site and convert your audience into customers.
These are a few time-tested ideas to help you get started. If
you're getting the itch to start your own business, go for it.
It'll be the smartest thing you'll ever do.
