You want to earn extra money from home, so you search and search to find something that doesn’t smack of scam and you decide to pull the trigger. The problem with buying programs off the internet, is that they are mostly one-sized-fits all. And unfortunately — its not your size!If you’ve bought any programs lately — and who hasn’t? Then you know the promise that you bought and the promise that you get are most often two different things!I heard a story from a friend just the other day who has plans to own a top home based business, who said she bought a program that was going to teach her home based internet marketing and help her to become “rich quick”! Now, I’ve tried to convince my friend that these too-good-to-be-true sounding deals — are most ALWAYS too good to be true — but she’s bound and determined, so I just sit and listen.Anyway, I listened as she described the program she bought. It promised that anyone could set up this affiliate program and could have it running in under a week. She would be able to earn extra money from home in under one week! Hmmm!As a one-sized-fits-all program, you’d think that it would need to be simple enough so that even the least computer savvy among the purchasers could follow along.In truth, she was hopelessly lost before the end of the second lesson. She struggled mightily to find the answers and ultimately gave up. Fortunately, she was able to get a refund of her money!The point is, to really be a successful program, you have to understand that each person marches to a different drum. No off the shelf program that is targeted to the masses will be able to predict the skill level and talents of everyone who buys the product. In fact, there would need to be several modules for beginner, intermediate and advanced.Another way to look for programs that might benefit you in your search for the perfect home based small business, it to look for something with a coaching component in it. The programs that I’ve seen be the most successful are programs that include coaching elements — they allow you to ask questions, learn at your own pace, take the lessons that are most suited for you and provide encouragement along the way.So if you’re in the market for a program to help you get started in your top home business, just remember that most products that promise to make you a millionaire Monday are junk. Look for good solid programs that will help you through the process and has good solid customer support in case you get stuck!Best of luck!

At the beginning we are all excited when starting with a serious home based business, and many people take action in the first few days and weeks, but what happens with this initial buzz after a few months? People don´t get where they want to go and MANY of them quit because of frustration, not knowing how to on in their serious home based business and maybe also because of very little till no support from their sponsor, family and others.From what I´ve seen so far and learned from personal experiences a serious home based business depends upon a few factors and these are the following:1) Faith: I think that faith is a very well known word and many people are familiar with it, but what influence has it in our network marketing process? We can describe faith as a pretty strong mental attitude, which should help to stay focused in our business to move forward as an entrepreneur and committed individual. It is something that everybody can fully imply into his daily routine. You´ve to believe in yourself that you´re absolutely in the position to create and form any success that you deeply desire. Don´t forget that everything starts in your mind, and taking action or not taking action is actually the sum of our thoughts.Focus on what is possible in life and business and you can go far. Not having enough faith is probably the reason why 98% of this industry will never achieve a full time income, because they missed this point badly. If you take this seriously you´ll have an advantage over most people out there in the home based business industry.2) Mentor: Now it comes to a vitally aspect of business, because everybody needs a trainer and mentor, would it be in soccer, private life, business or anywhere else. Not having a mentor will lead to LOTS OF headache, being uncertain what to do next, basically we need somebody that points us into the RIGHT DIRECTION. Make sure that your mentor will always be there to support you and educate you, if not pick another. I´m not just talking at the beginning or on unsteady times, it rather means consistently taking care of the student and show him EXACTLY what to do.3) Be Serious: Accepting the fact that you alone determine how big you´ll be and you alone decide whether you are going to succeed in this business or not. There´s nobody else to blame because everyone has his on life in his own hands. As a goal oriented entrepreneur, we´ve to be totally dedicated to continues self growth, self-development and striving for more in our growing process. Having a decent portion of hunger will also allow to grow constantly, and develop further into your ideal performance.4) Education: Your education is the reason why you have the same possibilities like anyone else, it´s because you can acquire the same skills if the same information is available to you, all what you have to do is find something that is really great and work every day on it until you become extremely good in your ability and skill. Commit yourself to permanent education and then review your results at the end of the week and month to see where it brought you.There´s a lot more to say but these are 4 essential attitudes of a serious home based business and you just have to do it and take action.

As a woman there are more reasons for you than most men to start your own home-based business. A combination of corporate prejudice and the demands of raising a family are all key factors in most women’s decision to call it a day in the corporate rat race and try their entrepreneurial hand at working from home.And because women are that bit more creative than guys you’ll find that you’re also far more suited to a wider variety of home based businesses than most men.So what we’re going to take a look at here is a mix of both traditional home-based jobs and also the best home based businesses for women. At least that way you’re getting a balanced look at all the options that are available to you and will also help if you’re a tiny bit technophobic! And ideally at the end you’ll have made a choice from our selection of the best home based businesses for women.1. Life CoachingWith such low overheads the option of Life Coaching is a great choice for women who are drawn to helping others improve their lives. There are many accredited coaching courses available and most are online distance learning courses with only limited face time required. The challenge, like most businesses is to find regular clients to keep the practice going strong which is why most coaches soon realise that marketing is a huge aspect to running a successful practice.2. Home BakingOK this might sound a little bit 1950s for your “taste”, but there’s a huge demand for home-baked cookies, cakes and muffins and I personally know women who have built a full-time business from just baking muffins from home. The reality is home baked cookies always; always taste better than the store bought ones. If you’re ever-so-handy in the kitchen then this is one might be worth considering.3. Dog Walking or Dog SittingAgain because most people are either busy going to or coming from work dogs aren’t getting walked nearly as often as they should be. And you have dog owners who hate the idea of their pooches being stuck at home on their own all day. A dog sitter can charge $80 or more to make house visits to a client’s dog or if you’re dog sitting at home around $25 per day is about average. You get 4 dogs per day that’s $500 per week – that’s better than no cash right?4. Adult Novelty Toy PartiesOk, before you get all hot and flustered, or perhaps a little offended it’s worth mentioning this option because there is a booming trade in house parties where adult novelty toys and costumes are sold. The idea here is that you create a party atmosphere by playing harmless games to set the stage for selling more risqué items later on. I won’t go into any more detail here – but I’m sure you get the idea.5. CafePressNow here’s one that most people have never considered. Have you got some cute or funny pet pictures that your friends love? Or how about some holiday snaps that people admire? Or are you just a natural for coming up with funny phrases? In that case you can take your skills and create a free CaféPress store and upload your digital images or funny catch phrases and have them printed onto t-shirts, mugs, beer coasters etc. that are then drop shipped to customers who like your designs and you get paid a share of the sale price!6. Etsy.comAre you an arty crafty type of person? Can you draw, sculpt, paint, stitch, sew, crochet, dye or make knitted goods or handmade jewelry? If you’re even remotely artistic then Etsy.com is the perfect place to sell your wares. Think of them like the EBay of arts and crafts and there are plenty of stay-at-home moms who are making a full time living from selling their arts and craft goods on Etsy.com7. MLMThe multi-level marketing model has been around a long time and there are many companies to choose from that sell every product you can think of. It really comes down to choosing a company that has great integrity, loads of support and training and leadership that can help you and mentor you as you grow your business. People don’t buy product, they buy people so don’t fall for the line ‘our products are the best and sell them selves’ line. This is simply not true. When considering an MLM company look past the products and look for the quality and longevity of people involved in the opportunity and make your mind up from there.8. Affiliate MarketingAnd last, but by no means least, we have affiliate marketing. This is often referred to as the ideal business model for women if you want to start your own home based internet business and work from home because of the limitless earning potential and the fact that once the business is set up it can be set to autopilot after several months of work. Unlike mlm most affiliate marketing products are all sold online so you don’t need to stock product or have an inventory at all. This makes for a very ‘light’ business and extremely portable and can be highly profitable.If you’re not familiar with affiliate marketing it’s a business opportunity where you sell goods for other companies through your blog or website and earn a commission for doing that. You never have to handle any goods or customer support calls so it’s proven to be very popular with thousands of women and who are having incredible success online while working from home or anywhere with just a phone and a laptop.So it’s time for you to grab a cup of tea or coffee and a pen and paper and plan out how to start your own home-based business selling a product or service that you’re passionate about – we’ve given you some of the best home-based business opportunities for women you’ll find.
