NeoBux - A Damn Good PTC Site!

Neobux is a brand new program that is currently revolutionizing the whole PTC (Paid To Click) market and it's even competing with the most popular site that is called Bux.to. And that with good reason because it offers features never seen before in the whole PTC market, not even their main competitor is able to stay with their fast growth and it won't take too long and they will kick Bux.to from their throne. Let's have a look at some features of this fascinating PTC.

What does NeoBux basically offer?

NeoBux is a so called PTC site where you get paid to click on ads. Whenever you click on an ad, you have to wait for 30 seconds before your account gets credited with a certain amount of money. In the case of NeoBux you'll get paid $0.01 for each click, just like on many other PTC's around the web. As a standard member, a regular user without having an upgraded account, you'll usually see an average of around 5 to 7 ads per day, a number that is constantly increasing the more popular NeoBux gets (and they do, trust me on this). If you have upgraded your account, meaning you're a so called Golden member, you'll see at least 10 ads a day but usually around 15. You can upgrade it for only $60 for one year, an investment that pays off in a short time!

NeoBux also offers a referral program where you get paid $0.005 for each of your referral's click on an ad and $0.01 if you're a Golden member. Imagine if you would have 100 people in your down line and every referral clicks only 4 ads a day. That would mean you could make 100 x 4 x 0.005 = $2.00 per day, or 60 bucks a month. As a Golden member you would get double of that, but usually even more because such members will get more daily ads to click on. You'll also receive 10% of all your referral's purchases on NeoBux. Sure, you won't be able to quit your day job from these earnings alone, but it's a nice side income stream anyway and there are many ways to increase that amount even further. But for now let's have a look at some unique features of NeoBux.

NeoBux pays Instantly!

Perhaps the greatest feature of NeoBux is their payments which are done instantly! Yes you heard right, they pay the second you request your money. The minimum payout is set at $2.00 for your first cash out and it's increasing for $1.00 every time you do another cash request until your reach $10.00. NeoBux currently pays via Alertpay, but they are about to implement Paypal as a second option. Right now you can already purchase staff via Paypal, e.g. membership upgrades or referrals. Compare that with Bux.to for example where you have to wait 60 business days to get your money and right now you would also face a 4 month delay on top of that, not really professional in my opinion. NeoBux has set a milestone with their great payment system.

Renting Referrals!

The most unique feature of NeoBux is their referral renting system. Whereas you have to buy referrals on other PTC's, on NeoBux you only rent them for a single month. That offers many benefits. First of all, you can decide whether you want to keep a ref for another 30 days or not. If you have lazy refs, you simply drop them after the first month and rent new ones that are hopefully more active with clicking their daily ads. Second, you have full control over your referrals; you can exchange lazy ones for a small fee of only $0.05 (called recycling) or extend their time in your down line. NeoBux also offers an option to automatically extend your referral's renting time, it's called AutoPay. By turning on this option, each day a small fee will be deducted from your account balance that pays your ref for another day, but only if the ref clicks an ad on a particular day. The option only works if your refs have at least 20 days renting time left.

The renting price per referrals and month is $0.30 for standard members and only $0.20 for Golden ones. By using the AutoPay option you'll even save 10% on top of that. You can pay for your refs with your account balance, Alertpay or Paypal. At them moment you can only rent 100 new refs per week and the maximum number of rented refs is set at 2,000 (notice that this doesn't affect your direct referral's count, e.g. people you referred through your blog and such). The current limits will be raised in the future because more and more people join NeoBux, right now there are already over 300,000 members!

What else does NeoBux offer?

Besides the above mentioned features, NeoBux has some more to offer. First, you can play a daily Jackpot where you can win either referrals or a cash price. It's a nice way to gain some more refs and the pricing is reasonable too. A normal ticket costs $1.00, but they also have a mini-jackpot where you only pay $0.10.

NeoBux has perhaps the greatest support of all PTC sites around. They offer a forum, different chat rooms and a live support area. The admin of these sites keeps the users constantly updated with fresh information, responds to feature requests and helps people facing problems. Have you ever looked at the Bux.to forum? You'll see the difference!

A great plus for NeoBux is their security. They have different systems to save their databases and your accounts, anti-cheat measures for automatically kicking people that are trying to cheat the system and they are even McAfee certified!

There are dozens of more features to discover on NeoBux, but it's far better to join the site and find out by you, it's worth it!

Conclusion

NeoBux is, without any exaggeration, the best PTC available on the market right now. Their business is based on stable foundations and the company is led by serious and professional people. The innovative features and the constant work on implementing even more of them make NeoBux a brilliant money maker. It's only advisable to join them if you want to make money from PTC, and trust me, you can make decent money from them!

Everybody is speaking about Bux.to as the best PTC of the world. I personally see no evidence that Bux.to is even worth to mention at all after seeing what NeoBux has to offer. I mean, compare instant payments with a 6 month waiting time. Compare the lousy support with the professional guys from NeoBux. NeoBux IS and WILL BE far better than Bux.to in the future. Join them now and start making money today without wasting your time with long delays while not knowing if you will really get paid at all!

Online Home Business Scams

If you are looking for a proven legitimate online home business there are a number of things you can do to try and establish whether the opportunity is legitimate or a scam. This is not always easy but it is to your advantage to invest some time in researching the opportunity before parting with any money.

There are thousands of scams on the internet as well as legitimate online home businesses and for new visitors to the Internet the task of trying to distinguish between the two can be very overwhelming.

Often the scam sites look so attractive and offer such great incomes or rewards that it is hard to believe that it is not legitimate, hence the reason so many people fall prey to the scammers.

So one thing to be wary of is those sites that make huge income claims, like earn $10 000 in your first week or month. This really is totally unrealistic and if that amount is perhaps fives times your current salary, do you really think it is possible to earn such a huge income in such a short period of time with no prior experience of the business?

If the opportunity is legitimate then it would not be unreasonable for somebody who has been in the business for a couple of years to be earning a huge income. But be warned that nearly all the business opportunities on the Internet advertise the income of their top earners who have been working hard for a couple of years. They rarely advertise the income of those just starting out in the business. An online home business is like any normal business, you will need to work hard at building it up over a period of time to produce a good income.

So then do not get carried away with excitement when you find a website making such unrealistic income claims. The Internet does not have magical powers to enable us to earn magnificent incomes overnight.

One can get so caught up in all the hype that it is easy to sign up for an online home business opportunity that does not live up to its promises and this can result in huge disappointment, so a Web site that is not promising the Earth is probably a safer route to take.

When you find a Web site offering an online home business opportunity that appeals to you, spend some time going through it and do not jump in immediately and part with your money.

Have a look on the Web site to see if there is any contact information, either an email address or a Contact icon like an envelope, and send a short message expressing your interest in the opportunity and see if you receive a response. Check also to see if there is a physical address on the Web site as this adds credibility.

Look for logos on the Web site of the respectable bodies on the internet like the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Truste.org, Alexa Ranking, i-Cop.org click on these logos and you should see information about the site. You could also look up the domain on the DomainTools.com (previously called Who is) Web site and you will see the registration details, spend time to see if they look legitimate. For example you do not want to see a phone number listed as 1234567890. You will find a lot of information from this Web site, so it is advisable to spend time doing some research.

Check on the Web site if there are any guarantees offered, such as a 30 day 100% money-back guarantee or perhaps a 14 or 30 day free trial offer. It is also a good idea to see if any training is offered, this is really important if you are new to Internet marketing.

There may also be the opportunity to sign up for a free Newsletter, which will give you the opportunity to not only learn from what the newsletter offers but also enable you to get a general feel for the opportunity and put you in touch with your referrer.

At the end of the day, once you have researched thoroughly the opportunity you are interested in, sleep on it and take heed of your gut feel and all being well you will learn how to use the Internet to generate an income with your own online home business.

Bux.to Announcements

Bux.to put out rather large announcements now a days and it shows they’re planning to be here for a long while yet, despite all of the current problems they’ve been having. Here’s a rundown of the announcement:

New Website: Bux Reload

The biggest news for most people is the new website that they’re working on (or Bux Reload, or the new Bux script, as people are calling it). Bux Reload will solve a lot of the major issues that have plagued it’s users since the beginning of the year. The announcement states that the beta testing is officially over, and testing is complete (at least, it is for the user’s side of things). The staff still has a couple of things to test out for themselves, but it would seem as though the lucky Bux.to members will be seeing the new script in action within a week or two.

Payment Queues

The recent dealings (or anti-dealings, if you will) with PayPal and AlertPay have meant that a rather large payment queue has built up, and there are thousands of members waiting to receive payment from Bux.to. That might sound bad, but Bux also pays thousands of people every week, so it’s not as bad as it first seems. The recent announcement assures members that payments are of a top priority, and so the queue is sure to be reduced to an acceptable level very shortly.

Bux.to Shop

Bux.to recently opened a shop that sold personalized Bux.to merchandise. The products on offer included t-shirts, mugs and caps amongst other things, but will soon be expanded to cover a wider variety of things. The Bux.to shop is really a “just-for-fun” thing set up by one or two of the admin over there. However, a small percentage of the cost of each item does go to Bux.to itself.

Suspended Accounts

A lot of people have found that they’ve had trouble buying referrals when using PayPal through Reg.net and thus find their Bux.to account suspended. The problems occur when a payment is rejected for whatever reason, and the member is issued a “chargeback”. This means the money is not received by Bux.to and so the user could effectively get their referrals for free. As the current Bux.to website does not accommodate for the removal of falsely-added referrals, the user’s account is suspended instead. Bux Reload will change all that, meaning that Bux.to admins will have the ability to upgrade/downgrade a user’s account at will, and also add/remove referrals when necessary.

Bux.to Name Trademarked

Bux.to has also registered its name as a trademark, giving them a much higher legal standing when it comes to rip-off and scam sites trying to use the Bux.to name for their own ends. To check out the authenticity of the trademark, you can look up their trademark registration number - 006810238.

Amazing Sundays

They will, from now on, run “Amazing Sundays” - which means that there will be more ads and some special features for members every Sunday. They haven’t given any specifics on the subject, but it sounds exciting.

Bux Idol Winners Announced

There are a few other minor issues relating to Bux.to that the announcement addressed. The first is that of the Bux Idol contest. The winners were announced, so congratulations to those members who put in the hard work for their Bux Idol entry.

Bux.to Blacklisted

Malware Domains is an organization that blacklists certain websites known to be carrying malware, or code that could infect a user’s computer. This blacklist is used by browser vendors to help protect it’s users from potentially harmful websites. Last week, MalwareDomains decided that Bux.to was such a website, and added it to its blacklist, meaning that anyone using the Opera web browser was unable to access the site. After talking with MalwareDomains about the issue, it was resolved without incident, and now Opera users can continue to use Bux normally.

Disgruntled Staff

A couple of weeks ago, there was also a hoo-har involving some ex-Bux.to staff. A couple of staff members were found to be guilty of lying to the Bux.to owners about certain things, and so it was decided that they were not trustworthy enough to work for Bux any longer. After being let go, the staff in question sent out spam emails to members of Bux.to’s forum, detailing many false claims about the website. The emails were traced back to the ex-staff members, who were then banned from the Bux forums as well.

Bux.to Debit MasterCard

There have also been changes in applying for the Bux.to Debit MasterCard. From the date that the new script is implemented, any user applying for the card must have a minimum of $20 in their Bux.to account, which will be taken when applying for the card. This $20 will then be loaded onto the card immediately after it is activated.

Bux Academy

They had also informed us of the Bux Academy, which is a project that will be set up to help up-and-coming entrepreneurs develop their online business ideas. No details have yet been given, but there is much speculation in the forums as to what this could mean. There is almost certainly a financial aspect to the support given by the Bux Academy project.

Saved the Best till Last

OK, so we’re all sick to the stomach of the payment delays that have plagued the site since PayPal bottled it, and ran away from the PTC scene, screaming like a schoolgirl. But, in the usual Bux.to style, they have stepped in to solve the payment issues once and for all - with PayBux. Yep, that’s right; Bux.to is in talks with one of their local banks to start up their very own payment processor!

What will this mean for us? Well, nothing initially. Nothing has been announced yet other than the project is going ahead. But once it’s complete, this would be a major step forward for Bux.to, and the PTC scene as a whole. It would mean that Bux.to would no longer have to rely on external payment processors like AlertPay or PayPal. They wouldn’t need to worry about those websites charging extortionate fees, or changing their Terms of Service to exclude PTC websites. It would mean the end of payment delays forever!

What it would also mean is another potential source of income for Bux.to. If they play their cards right, they could advertise the use of PayBux to other PTC sites, and charge a small fee to allow other PTC sites to use it. With the number of PTC sites appearing on the net every day rising steadily, and the reliance on AlertPay et al increasing at the same rate, Bux.to is potentially sitting on a goldmine. Not only would it mean a reliable payment system, but all PTC could potentially take advantage of it, earning Bux a small fortune.

Final Thoughts

Well, that’s enough from me today; I should be working. I hope this update has filled your eyes with the kind of sparkle that you see in every five year-old’s when you tell them Santa Clause has been to visit. It’s exciting times for Bux.to and hopefully they’ll pull through and deliver on their promises. It’s been five long months since things went rather pear-shaped, and they’ve yet to really fix anything. Let’s hope this coming month brings them (and us) some good fortune.

Here's a look at some of the coolest jobs around, and how you can land one yourself.

1. Chocolate Taster: Yes, your business card could read 'Professional Chocolate Taster" or "Freelance Consultant in the Chocolate Field." Chocolate tasters help chocolate makers develop new flavors, ensure quality, and perform market research. Extensive chocolate-tasting experience alone won't land you this dream job. Tasters recommend culinary school or pastry chef training, with an emphasis in business courses such as marketing and product development.

2. E-Commerce Entrepreneur: From photography to pet grooming, you can turn just about any hobby into a home business. E-commerce entrepreneurs sell products, services, and/or advertising space via a website "storefront." As an e-commerce entrepreneur, you have access to the ultimate market for any hobby--the world. An online marketing degree will help you find that market, and make a name for your business in cyberspace.

3. Fashion Buyer: You love to shop... why not get paid for it? Fashion buyers make their living attending fashion shows, spotting trends, and buying clothing that sells. Besides an eye for fashion, buyers typically have a fashion merchandising degree. Fashion schools offer courses in fashion design and industry trends, as well as business skills such as budgeting, inventory management, and negotiation.

4. Video Game Designer: All those hours spent playing video games can pay off--and pay well--in a video game design career. Video game designers are involved at every stage of a game's development, from concept to layout to programming. Graphic Design College offers the technical background you'll need to get into this cool career, including video game design courses in animation and 2D and 3D graphics.

5. Wardrobe Stylist: Stars aren't just born with glamour, their wardrobe stylists create it for them. Wardrobe stylists are image consultants with a fashion sense. They create the look that makes a celebrity shine on stage, on the red carpet, at photo shoots, or around town. Fashion design school can help you launch a career as a wardrobe stylist. Besides gaining a valuable credential, you'll make contacts in a business where networking is everything.

6. Movie Animator: A movie animator brings animated characters and fictional worlds to life using computer graphics technology. Industry pioneers Pixar and ILM have elevated movie animation to an art form, with applications that simulate facial expressions, natural textures, and movement. A career in movie animation begins with graphic arts training via an animation degree. Online graphic design courses for movie animators range from software programming to film production.

7. Sports Psychologist: "The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure," said legendary NFL coach Vince Lombardi. As a sports psychologist, you could put this advice to work helping athletes achieve their full potential through psychological counseling. An online master degree in psychology can get you started in sports psychology. Many psychology schools offer sports-related courses such as motivation management and athletics counseling.

8. Sports Massage Therapist: Another crucial player in an athlete's support team is the sports massage therapist. Sports massage provides an extra edge for athletes, preventing injuries and keeping muscles in optimum condition. Massage therapy schools offer hands-on practice and training in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, body mechanics, and basic business skills. Following massage therapy school, graduates take the national certification exam.

9. Sports Marketer: Sports fans know better than anyone how to inspire enthusiasm for the game. Those buzz-generating skills can lead to a career in sports marketing, promoting and managing athletes, teams, or sports events. Besides a passion for sports, sports marketers must earn at least a bachelor's degree in marketing, sports management, or business administration. For a real resume boost, consider an online MBA in sports marketing.

10. NASCAR Mechanic: The ultimate auto mechanic career can be found in the NASCAR pit stop. NASCAR mechanics are an integral part of the race team, ensuring that the vehicle operates at peak performance. The ability to do lightning speed maintenance on a racecar does not develop through sheer enthusiasm for the sport. NASCAR mechanics rely on specialized technician training in everything from basic automotive maintenance to fabricating and welding.

The best jobs are those that pay you to do what you would otherwise do for free. But the path from hobby to career is not always straightforward. You may come across your ideal job, or invent the position that fits your passions perfectly. Whichever course you choose, education and career training can bring you one step closer to a job you love.

Cleaning Service Business

One of the biggest fears people have about starting a small business is the fear of having no real security.

But for natural entrepreneurs, security comes from designing your own life. My partner Richa and I discovered that we could create security when we put forth the effort to call our own shots and make key business decisions that made sense for our lives. Starting a house cleaning business helped us achieve real security.

We started our cleaning business over nine years ago. Our schedules now burst with other, more creative commitments, but we continue to clean houses and offices. Why? Because the work is steady, the pay is excellent, and we love getting the free time we want in order to pursue our personal goals.

When I first joined Richa as he started a house cleaning business I relished the idea of working for myself but I had no idea what I was getting into. Two things were bothering me a little. First, I was concerned with job security. Second, I secretly doubted my basic cleaning skills. Cleaning had always seemed like drudgery and I wondered if my skills were up to par with the pros. Richa reassured me that my basic skills were good enough. He guaranteed that the short working hours would give me time to spend the way I wanted. I was ready to take a leap of faith, so I decided to try it.

I made three discoveries:

Cleaning is not drudgery when you're getting paid well to do it.
Leaving behind neat, clean rooms is quite satisfying.
Not having a boss is fantastic.

I also found a new use for my research skills. Because I was determined to rank up there with the best of the professionals, I began to research cleaning tips and as a result, learned how to clean just about anything. Best of all, our diligence and excellent service has provided genuine job security all along.

Why do we think starting a house cleaning business is a great idea? Here are 11- reasons:

1. Unlimited income potential

You can grow your house cleaning business as big as you want. Many recent entrepreneurs have built up their house cleaning businesses up to 100k a year within one year. Try that with a JOB (just over broke). Cleaning franchises are booming nationwide, but franchises are a bad deal for the want-to-be professional cleaner. You sink into debt before you even get started. Franchises, while highly appropriate for oil lube shops and Internet cafes, are not a good idea for an entrepreneur who simply wants to start a cleaning business. Oil change shops and cafes are expensive and complicated businesses, cleaning is not.

2. Start bringing in money within two weeks.

You can discover interested clients within days. You can be giving quotes within a week. You can have jobs by week two. You can have a full-force house cleaning business within a few months.

3. Start on a shoestring budget

You can start a house cleaning business for well under $100. This business is one of the best for inexpensive start-ups. Believe it or not you can even start without a vacuum or a car. We did!

4. Be your own boss.

It is absolutely my favorite reason for starting a house cleaning business. My inner compass indicates that when I’m my own boss I’m going in the right direction. I'm sure you can relate. Nothing quite compares to the pride and excitement of calling the shots and being in charge of your own destiny. This is what America is all about, right? What is stopping you? Sure, you'll make mistakes, we all make them. But no one is going to scold you and you'll learn from your mistakes. Besides, as another entrepreneur once said, we have the most sympathetic boss in the world - ourselves!

5. Set your own hours.

We love this aspect of starting a house cleaning business even more than being our own boss. We take days off when we want and as often as we can get away with. We find that we each work smarter instead of harder because both of us are able to tap into our natural sense of responsibility. When you're empowered to take charge of your own schedule you take more pride in the work you do.

6. Get paid Everyday.

This is my second favorite benefit. every day we get at least one check if not several. You won't stress out about paying your bills on time. No waiting two weeks or a month to get paid. This makes your personal accounting system less stressful and a whole lot more enjoyable.

7. Cleaning is easy work, not technical or complicated.

If you prefer to use your brainpower on genuinely creative, significant pursuits, or even if you don't, starting a house cleaning business won't drain your brain. In fact, a lot of people find the gentle, repetitive tasks involved in cleaning to be meditative.

8. Professional cleaning is not emotionally or mentally exhausting.

This is Richa's favorite part of starting a house cleaning business. Richa initially started his business because he was frustrated with how emotionally draining his JOB was, making it very difficult for him to pursue his creative endeavors. He was tired a lot of the time and just couldn't get motivated. Within weeks of starting his first house cleaning business he was realizing a lifelong desire to compose music. He now has seven CDs of music published. Richa and I built a house ourselves with the free time and free mental space afforded by our part time house cleaning business.

9. Choose who you work with.

This is Second favorite on Richa's list. There has always been that one person who made life at work less than enjoyable if not a complete drag. If we discover we don't exactly click with a client, we have a system for replacing them within one week, sometimes sooner. You'll never feel trapped with an unwanted associate again.

10. Work close to home.

No long commute, no commute at all if you prefer. There is plenty of work near you, we drive maybe ten miles a day, and we do 80% of our work in one neighborhood. When Richa started his first house cleaning business he rode his bike and took public transportation to his clients' homes and offices. With a little foresight and planning, you can clean with no supplies of your own. We have met several other cleaners who get to work by bike and on foot as well.

11. Start additional cleaning services.

Maximize your profits by adding any of a dozen additional cleaning services. Carpet cleaning, steam cleaning, house sitting, pet sitting and plantscaping are all natural outgrowths of starting a cleaning business. You can mix house cleaning with office cleaning, or window cleaning with house cleaning, or for variety do all three.

Summary:

Starting a house cleaning business may not be glamorous, but because we did it, Richa and I have gained free time to do what we want to do, lower our stress levels, become more productive and happier, and we make a good living. For people with a sense of independence and a creative spirit, starting a house cleaning business is a wonderful way to provide you with genuine security.

Virtual Assistant Business

Part of the allure of having a Virtual Assistant Business is the fact that we can work at home. But as most VA’s will tell you (I’m guessing…) working at home has its pitfalls as well. The myriad distractions of working in a home office can not be ignored, but some smart time-wise strategies can help. Here are my top 5.

(1) Give yourself a work schedule.

When I first started in 1999, I had absolutely no formal work schedule and often felt like I was driving the bus from Speed – 100 mph and about to crash. So I created a very loose schedule that allowed for flexibility to meet the needs of my clients and my family. I check my email first thing in the morning, before the kids get up, and make up a task list from any projects that have come in over night. I then leave the desk and get the kids ready for, and off to, school. Once home again, I grab a coffee and settle in for a few hours of solid work time. I get my ongoing projects finished up, get a start on new ones, and schedule the activities needed for work in my Outlook calendar and task bar. Breaking projects down into steps is a tremendous help and putting deadlines on them keeps me in line. I break for lunch and play with my 5 year old (who has an office with mine) and the dogs. We do some household chores, run errands, etc. over the lunch hour and get ourselves ready for the afternoon. Tailor your schedule to how you like to get things done. Be mindful of your body rhythm – are you an early riser or a night owl? Schedule your hardest tasks for the time of day you feel most alert.

(2) Be selective about answering the phone.

If you are in the middle of a project that requires your undivided attention, let the answering machine get the phone. Schedule a phone call time, where you can return calls to clients or prospective clients once or twice a day, so you are not constantly interrupting your work flow.

(3) Set your email program to pick up mail every 30 minutes or so.

You are getting your email in a timely manner, but are not so tempted to check it every 10 minutes (classic newbie thing – been there, done that). No one is expecting a response within 5 minutes of sending their email, and if they are see number 4.

(4) make sure your clients know your turnaround times.

Clients who are not familiar with the way a Virtual Assistant works may sometimes think that you are at their beck and call 24/7. For your own sanity, and theirs, make sure they know that emails are answered within XX hours, and your normal turnaround is XX days or XX hours. Try to discourage them from making everything “URGENT” by having a clause in your contract that sets a higher rate for urgent turnaround times (often less than 24 hours).

(5) Schedule down time.

Go for a walk. Sit on the deck. Getting out of the office/house for even a short time can recharge your batteries and give you the energy you need to grow your Virtual Assistant business.

Here are some more steps that help you get started.

1) Begin bidding on freelance projects. There are many sites online that allow employers to post freelance projects they need completed. You are then able to bid on those projects. Some sites offer this service free to those bidding and others charge a nominal fee. A few of my favorite sites are Elance.com and Guru.com. Your best bet is to bid on as many projects as you feel you are qualified to complete. This is an important step because it will allow you to see what it’s like to work on a project to project basis. It can also give you a clearer idea of what people are really looking for freelancers to work on and what services you might want to offer.

2) Once you start looking around the freelance sites and are getting an idea of what services you want to perform, you need to take an inventory of your work space. Your home office must have everything a typical administrative assistant’s desk would. You also need to make sure that you have a work area that is separate from all distractions. Just because you’re working at home doesn’t mean that you aren’t working just as hard, in fact you’ll be working twice as hard for awhile.

3) At this point, the best thing you can do for yourself is spend as much time as possible exploring other virtual assistants’ sites. This will allow you to see what you like and don’t like on their sites. You’ll also get a much better idea of what services you’d like to offer and what prices you can reasonably charge for your time. Note, I’m not advocating copying, stealing or plagiarizing in any manner, just look around a lot to see what you’re getting yourself into.

4) You’ll notice when you’re looking around all of these virtual assistant sites that many of these professionals have different certifications and belong to all sorts of different organizations. I would recommend looking into all of them that you run across. It’s really your decision on which ones you’d like to join or whether you want to spend the money on those at all. However, many of these organizations will help you with site development, marketing and promotion. Plus, some potential clients will be more comfortable working with you simply because you have their seal on your site.

5) Now, you’re ready to start getting to work on your website. You’ve got to be realistic with this. It is essential that your website look very professional and express your mission and services in a very straightforward manner. If you have web design experience and feel confident in your abilities, then by all means get to work on your site. If you’re not an HTML wiz, it can be very overwhelming. However, based on what web hosting service you use and/or software you have or choose to purchase, it can be fairly easy. Look for software that doesn’t require you to know HTML. Also, look for templates that will help you get started very quickly. I could go on forever about all the ins and outs of web design for those new to this arena, but I’ll leave at this…your website is your portal for customer communication, marketing and sales, it must be professional, so if that means you must throw a little money in for some web design help, it’s probably worth it!

Being a virtual assistant can give you all the benefits of working at home and being your own boss, but you must be aware of what you’re getting into ahead of time. Be as prepared as possible and you’ll be a success!

Handicrafts Business

Crafts Business

If you're creative and enjoy working with your hands, a crafts business could be your path to financial independence. With a minimal investment, you can start grossing up to $100,000 a year doing something you love. This guide starts with an overview of the industry, looks at some specific crafts businesses, and then through the step-by-step process of setting up and running your new venture. You’ll learn about basic requirements and start-up costs, daily operations, and what to do when things don’t go according to plan. You’ll gain a solid understanding of the sales and marketing process, as well as how to track and manage the financial side of your business. Throughout the guide, you’ll hear from crafters who have built successful operations and are eager to share what they learned in the process. This guide from Entrepreneur.com is necessary before diving into this home business venture.

Assembly lines around the world are churning out mass-produced items that are purchased almost as fast as they can be made. But consumer acceptance of low-cost look-alike goods hasn’t eliminated the demand for handcrafted items—although those items are likely to have a much different function today than in the past.

Many handcrafted items are now valued as works of art, but historically their value was primarily utilitarian. For example, baskets and pottery were essential for transporting food, water and other items. And weaving produced fabrics that could be made into clothing and blankets.

Because of the industrial revolution, the need for functional handcrafted items is not as extensive as it once was. But Americans who want quality artistic and decorative items turn to modern-day craftspeople who produce a variety of items such as jewellery, ceramics, wood carvings, furniture, crocheted and knitted goods, decorated clothing, toys and much more.

What Is A Craft?

In this book, craft refers to any handmade item that can be given as a gift or sold—and if you’ve attended a crafts fair, you may have been surprised by what craftspeople sell and what people are willing to buy. The unpredictability of the crafts market is one of the intriguing and challenging aspects of the business.

In Craft Today: Poetry of the Physical, Paul J. Smith writes, “In its broadest sense craft refers to the creation of original objects through an artist’s disciplined manipulation of material. Historically craft was identified with producing objects that were necessary to life. Modern industrialized society eliminates the need to make by hand essentials for living. The term craft now must be defined in the context of a society that focuses on greater efficiency by technological achievement.”

The question of whether crafts are art or a separate medium may never be definitively answered. In The Crafts of the Modern World, Rose Slivka writes, “Throughout their long history, crafts have produced useful objects which are later considered fine art. Time has a way of overwhelming the functional value of an object that outlives the men who made and used it, with the power of its own objective presence—that life-invest quality of being that transcends and energizes. When this happens, such objects are forever honored for their own sakes—they are art.”

Of course, for someone wanting to start a crafts business, the question of whether the products are art may not be particularly important. A more critical question is whether you can make money.

The nature of the crafts industry makes it difficult to define and quantify, but industry experts estimate that sales revenues exceed $10 billion annually, and hundreds of thousands of working artisans earn their entire income from the crafts they produce. Most professional craftspeople start making their handcrafted goods as a hobby, and begin selling items to friends and family. From there, they typically expand to selling in crafts shows and fairs several times a year. Sometimes they’re content to keep this as something they do on the side; others are eager to move from part-time to full-time status. Still other artisans tackle their work as a full-time career from the beginning, often renting studio or retail space, or both.

Start-up costs for a crafts business range from literally a few dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on what you are making, what type of equipment and raw materials you need, and whether you already own equipment when you start. Crafters earn as little as a few dollars an hour (for part-time crafters who are not particularly interested in profits) to as much as $20 or $30 an hour and sometimes more if they learn how to market and manage their businesses efficiently.

If you travel to the job, you'll need a vehicle to carry supplies. Your vehicle should become an example of your work and should sparkle like a showroom auto!

Gift Basket Service Business

Are you a creative person who likes to give every gift an extra-special touch? Then a gift-basket service is the perfect home based business for you. In today's fast-paced world, few people have time to find that gift that's just right. Both corporate customers and individuals have found gift baskets to be the ideal solution, creating a rapidly growing market that could mean big profits for you.

Start-up is easy. There are few equipment requirements and no need for a retail store, so starting it from home, full or part time, is ideal and you can set your own hours and workload.

Best of all, gift baskets are fun to create and practically sell themselves. Order your guide now!

Although gift baskets are one of today’s hottest businesses, with steady growth expected to continue well into the foreseeable future, they’re not at all new. In fact, gift baskets have been a traditional form of gift giving ever since humans figured out how to weave baskets. Throughout history, baskets filled with fruit, nuts, wild game and other foodstuff, flowers and other material tokens have been presented as a sign of affection or a gesture of goodwill. The contents could be consumed, and the container then used for cooking, storing and transporting food, or for some other practical or decorative purpose. It was a gift that had great value and essentially no waste.

Today, gift baskets are equally practical and infinitely more creative. They run the gamut from traditional Easter-style “goodie” baskets to baskets made especially for golfers, chocolate lovers, new homeowners and brides-to-be. Some people focus almost exclusively on the contents; others see the basket (or other container) as a very important part of the gift. In fact, a growing number of gift baskets aren’t baskets at all—they’re boxes, fruit crates, tote bags, hats, ceramic pots, mixing bowls and more, all filled with food, gifts and other collectible items designed to delight the recipient.

So who buys gift baskets and why? Just about everyone for every imaginable occasion. They buy pre-made baskets by occasion or theme, or baskets specially designed for a specific individual. They buy baskets from large chain stores, small specialty shops and home based basket makers—and they’ll buy them from you.

The market for gift baskets is great, and as long as people buy each other presents, you’ll have a steady stream of customers. You have a product that is in high demand and that people are familiar with. You don’t need to convince anyone that they should buy gift baskets—you just need to let them know that you are their best source, and that you can deliver the product they need when they need it. One thirteen-year veteran in the business told us she believes the industry is in its infancy, with the real growth yet to be experienced.

Your revenue will be limited only by how hard you want to work and how much you want your business to grow. You can easily gross $10,000 or more annually working part time from home, or $1 million and up operating a retail store or mail order business full time.

About half of your business will be holiday-based, and the majority of that will be Christmas-related. One of the fastest-growing segments of the gift basket industry is corporate holiday orders. When the Christmas rush is over, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving and Secretaries’ Day are the most profitable holidays. Most gift basket business owners see holidays as both a blessing and a curse. They can earn a lot of money making holiday baskets, but they have to work very hard during times of the year when they might prefer to do other things.

The bottom line on making gift baskets is that it’s a highly creative and gratifying occupation. It features all the best aspects of hands-on work, design, coordinating, and planning and customer service. Your product is something you take pleasure in making, your customers enjoy buying, and the recipients are delighted to receive.

Medical Claims Billing Business

The world of medical treatment has changed dramatically in the past few years. Doctors are overwhelmed by the maze of complicated claim forms and insurance policy procedures. They need time to focus on their patients, but with complicated billing procedures from private and government-administered insurance companies, HMOs and PPOs, they're often having to worry about whether they'll ever get paid for the services they provide. And this is where you come in: There's a growing need for outside help--a need that you can easily fill, working from your home.

As a medical claims biller, you can earn a good income managing claims for doctors and other health-care specialists. There's no special training or experience needed, and start-up costs are minimal. All you really need is a computer, a printer, a modem and claims processing software.

It's an ideal "starter" business because you decide its size and scope. You can specialize in certain fields--chiropractic, pediatric or dentistry, for example--and determine exactly how many health-care professionals you want to accept as clients.

This chapter explores the burgeoning field of medical billing, or medical claims processing, from passé paper claims to progressive—and profitable—computerized billing.

Think of this chapter as an investigative report—like those TV news magazine shows but without the commercials. We will explore the phenomenal growth of the medical billing field and the secrets of America’s health-care billing industry.

The Doctor’s Key

A medical billing service is the doctor’s key to getting paid. Despite the fact that the health-care industry is alive and well in America, most doctors and other health-care providers have no idea how to get themselves paid quickly and efficiently, if at all—either by insurers or by patients who are also waiting for that check to arrive in the mail. Private and government-administered insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs and a host of other mysteriously initialed plans have conspired to make physician reimbursements as elusive as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Doctors, once the lords of the health-care world, are fast becoming the underdogs. Not to worry—the medical billing service is on hand to save the day. A billing expert can dramatically increase the doctor’s immediate revenue.

Through the miracle of cyberspace, the biller electronically transmits insurance claims directly to the insurance company, or, in other words, into the company’s check-generating computers.

Amazingly, however, while electronic claims processing is the method for getting providers paid, most providers are still stuck in the Snail Mail Age. This makes electronic billing a thriving field with room for growth.

Affiliate Commissions

The ideal world of affiliate marketing does not require having your own website, dealing with customers, refunds, product development and maintenance. This is one of the easiest ways of launching into an online business and earning more profits.

Assuming you are already into an affiliate program, what would be the next thing you would want to do? Double, or even triple, your commissions, right? How do you do that?

Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate program commissions overnight.

1. Know the best program and products to promote. Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time.

There are several factors to consider in selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure. Have products that fit in with your target audience. And that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to increase your commissions, dump that program and keep looking for a better one.

There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the opportunity to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars.

Write free reports or short e-books to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short reports related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates.

In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With e-books, you get credibility. Customers will see that and they will be encouraged to try out what you are offering.

2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free e-books. It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first contact. You may have to send out your message more than six times to make a sale.

This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and e-books. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you.

Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor’s website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever.

But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.

Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers.

This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information and a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.

3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants. If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales.

If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting an increase in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.

Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of.

Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in a very short time.
