H-F-L-Team:Working at Home Networking Is KeyCopyright © Douglas Miller Hundred-Fold-Life http://www.ClixGo.comIf your Hundred-Fold-Life is built around a home-based business then networking is going to be an essential part of your success. Networking has always been an important facet of the business world, but in the work at home setting it is key. In the traditional business world, upper level people in the company usually do the networking while the employees just go do their job without giving it a second thought. However, in the work at home environment, networking is the key to your success. It is the same with all home-based business; networking is important and needs to be done. Networking is a great way to find good customers and or partners to build a business and stay on top. Networking is basically socializing. That sounds like fun and it can be but remember that it is your business that you are representing, so keep it professional. In the work at home field it is talking with other people whom work at home, and learning from each other. Checkout websites dedicated to connecting people who work at home. A web search will yield great results. Then go and attend those events. It is important that you understand the protocol, though, of work at home networking. There are some unwritten ‘rules’ about networking that you need to know or else they could ruin their ability to successfully network. While the Internet may seem like a pretty large place, it really is not. Many people know each other and word can travel quickly. It is like a small town. That’s why you have to be careful when you are networking. The first things is that you should know is that you cannot just jump in and start bombarding people with questions. It is important to make friends first and ask about the other persons business, then move into to yours. Another thing to avoid is being phony. People will quickly catch on and they will not talk with someone who is being phony. Honesty is always best. Don’t go from one event to another and trying to act like a different person at each one. Often many people go to the same events and people will talk about each other, so be real. Lastly, you need to know that employers and potential customers often frequent these events so it is always best to be professional. You should not say something that you would not be proud of or reflect poorly on you of your business. Networking can be the key to getting into the work at home world and being a success. It is nearly impossible to get into a good work at home position without networking. Networking will also keep you protected because it is a great way to find scams and avoid pitfalls. Networking can be used to find customers make friends and get great information. Working at home can be lonesome at times and networking can give you an outlet to be with other in the same boat and provide that working environment that is lacking in the home-based business world. Your Hundred-Fold-Life needs to be made up friends and allies that you can go to for help and build each other up. Networking is a great way to achieve that goal.

H-F-L-Team: Ideas for Recharging a Home BusinessCopyright © Douglas Miller Hundred-Fold-Life http://www.ClixGo.comEvery business, and your Hundred-Fold-Life; will experience a time when it seems to go into a slump. Often business will level off and now you need to recharge it and bring in new customers. That requires reconnecting to the customer and giving them a reason to start buying again. You may think it is difficult to know how a business can be recharged to bring in new customers. Don’t think that it is too hard or complicated; there really are some ways to recharge a business without it involving a lot of money or time. Often little things can breath new life back into a slow business. New ProductsOften customers have bought everything they want from a company or feel they just do not need anything else that is offered. Try this tactic; introduce a new product to your business. A new product can be simply one item or it can be a totally new line of products. The idea of introducing a new product is to give the customer something new and different. It should not be, for example, an existing product just in a new color. That will not cut it; they have already bought the color that they like. It should be something exciting and it is a good idea to make a important thing out of its introduction. That will draw attention and keep customers on alert. Sounds simple and it is and it is used because it works. Overhaul the LookSometimes all that’s needed is redoing a website to bring in more business. This is true if the website has not been updated to showcase new options and a new appearance. People just get tired of the same old thing when they are shopping and want to a new experience. Changes to a websites look can be many different things. It can be different colors, a different set up, addition of a guest book or even a completely new website design. Keep in mind, that with huge changes the website will be down for maintenance however long it takes to get the change implemented. So be prepared to get it all done at once. More ChoicesPeople shop where they can get a lot of things at one stop. This is very true because people do not have the time to go from store to store, even online. One way to really attract people is to offer them more choices. Give them more variety, more choices and more products. This can be done even if within a niche market. Give them more for their money. Create bundled packages and give away freebies and upgrades to loyal customers. Offer specials like buy one and get one free. Shipping discounts are quite popular online and are a major attraction for shoppers. Brainstorm as to what could be done to give your customers more. There are many things you can do to recharge your business and start bringing in more sales. Don’t give up or simply wait for things to get better. You can be proactive in your attempts to bring some life back to their business. Your Hundred-Fold-Life is not static. You need to continually build on past wins and readjust when things are not working. About the Author: Douglas Miller is a retired Fire Service Captain now living the dream of working at home.

H-F-L-Team: Scam or Real Home Business, How Do You Know?Copyright © Douglas Miller Hundred-Fold-Life http://www.ClixGo.comWhen you start to look around at how you want to fund your Hundred-Fold-Life, you may consider a home-based business. There can be a lot of confusion for people venturing into the work at home world. You may ask yourself how do you know the difference between a legitimate home business and a scam? It’s good that you’re thinking about it because work at home scams are out there can be very damaging. Many people have spent a lot of money, wasted a lot of time and invested a lot into these scams that, in the end, result in money, time and energy lost. Yes you can count me as one of those people. The main point of confusion comes with the top work at home tip. Almost anywhere you go to inquire about working at home you will see this number one tip – Never pay to work at home. This is a great piece of advice, but when it comes to a home business it is not completely accurate. There is a fine line between knowing if you are paying for a scam or paying for an opportunity. Many scammers have even caught on and have changed the way they operate, to make themselves look legitimate, which causes even more troubles. It used to be that if you received a product or sales kit for the investment that you could assume it is legitimate. Many times with a scam they will send something that they claim is a sales kit, so it makes it difficult to see the difference between a scam and something legitimate. So how do you avoid a scam when you want to get into a home business? Well like most things it takes knowledge to keep you from being ripped-off. The following are two great tips that can help anyone avoid a scam and find a legitimate home business. - Always check out the business. The Better Business Bureau is a good start, but you cannot always get all the information. Search online with the company’s name and the word scam and see what turns up. When people get scammed they want to let the world know, so there will be signs all over the Internet to tell if a company is a scam. Furthermore, if nobody has heard of the company or there is nothing that comes up online about them then that can also be a good sign they are not legitimate. So wait, don’t be the first. - Know what you are investing in. You should know exactly what you are getting for your investment. It should be something that is valuable and well worth the investment. For example, you would not spend $100 as an investment for ten brochures. That doesn’t make sense and is a sign of a scam. Remember “to good to be true”, then it probably is. These are simple things to do, but they are one way to ensure that a company is real and not a scam. Just by doing these two simple things you can avoid being ripped-off, and they don’t take much time. Usually scammers run the same old scam over and over. Why because they work, and with the Internet you can reach millions of people. You can help others out by alerting then to avoid scams. One of the great things about a home business and the online business environment – we can look out for one another, as we pursue our Hundred-Fold-Life.

H-F-L-Team: Low Or No Cost To Start Your Online BusinessCopyright © Douglas Miller Hundred-Fold-Life http://www.ClixGo.comDo you want to start an online business to get your Hundred-Fold-Life up and running? You would think you need money to start your online business. The fact is you really don't. Nowadays there are so many ways to get started for free online, even if you're broke or have a tight budget; you can still get your online business going. If you need extra money to get something going, because you want to buy a domain name, host your own website, buy some software. So if you need to pay for something, and your really don’t have the cash to spare. What now? I have one word for you... EBAY.Ebay is amazing. Why? Because that entire website is set up to make people money! So let me tell you how you can get some start-up funds using this great service. 1. Sell your junkHow much stuff do you have lying around that you don't need anymore? Toys, baseball cards, old books, stuff that you dug out of the trash at one time. Take all the junk you no longer need and SELL IT ON EBAY. People on Ebay will buy anything. Look at garage sales, people buy lots of stuff other conceder useless. By getting rid of all the stuff you don't want anymore, you can make a few hundred dollars - enough to start your online business. 2. Sell your servicesYou can also use Ebay to sell your time and efforts to do tasks for other people. People actually offer to send out 1,000 friend requests on Myspace in exchange for $100? Yeah, there are people on Ebay doing just that. Think of some type of service you can offer people and auction it off - make money that way. It’s easy! It just takes a little bit of time and effort on your part. Be creative offer what you know to other that doesn’t know. 3. Sell your body (No Not That!)People auction off their body parts on Ebay. Pregnant women auction space on their bellies. Some people have auctioned off their foreheads. Basically, the winner of the auction pays to get a temporary tattoo applied to the person's body part. You hear about these auctions all the time. As long as you have no shame, go for it. Weird, I know but it works. 4. Auctions, BrokerCheck out classified ad websites like Craig's List and see what people are looking to buy. Then email them a link to an Ebay auction that has what they're looking for, but use your affiliate link instead of a direct link. That way, if they sign up and buy the auction, you get paid. Simple stuff, that might sound a bit crazy but if you are serious about changing your life and starting an online business with little or no money your going to have to be creative. What else can you think of to make money? If you come up with ten or twelve good ideas, what if you wrote an e-book and sold it online through a service like ClickBank for $10.00 each and you sold 1000 e-books? Your Hundred-Fold-Life awaits, you just need to get started. About the Author: Douglas Miller is a retired Fire Service Captain now living the dream of working at home.

H-F-L-Team: Could a Home Business be your Best Choice?Copyright © Douglas Miller Hundred-Fold-Life http://www.ClixGo.comMany people are interested in working at home, as a way to build their Hundred-Fold-Life. A good place to start is to remove the focus on what you have done in the traditional work environment to see all the possibilities. Many people think the work at home environment is about working for a client or a company. There is a whole other angle to working at home the home-based business. For some a home-based business is a much better choice then choosing to work for someone else at home. A home-based business is much different than a work at home job and you should understand the difference between the two. With a home-based business you have more control. You can choose your own schedule and work when you want to work. Usually with a work at home job there is set schedule and more rules to follow and of course a BOSS. A home-based business is great if your wanting flexibility and more control over your life. With a home-based business there is less limitation, the one big limitation is only your efforts. A person can really go where they want with it, if they have the drive and determination to secede. If you want to earn more you can work more to do just that. If done right a home-based business can give you the ability to do what you want. A home-based business is a great way to be independent and to really become your own boss. For someone who wants less limitation and more freedom a home-based business is the best choice. There are so many benefits to a home-based business that you can really have a good time with one. Now that the benefits of a home-based business are outlined, it is important for you to understand what a home-based business is and how start one. Many people think a home-based business means getting an inventory of products and selling them. That is only one type of home business, but there are also other business opportunities that do not involve inventory or even products. Service home-based businesses are a great opportunity that is often ignored. There is a wide market for writing such as copy writing. Starting a writing home business is a wonderful opportunity that can be quite easy to start up if you have good writing skills. There is also a large market for advice or experts. People can have a business where they talk to others and offer their expert help. Think about what your good at, fly fishing or home decorating and focus on that subject. A home-based business can be the ultimate freedom from the traditional working environment. It is a tad more risky then the traditional job or even the work at home job, but the payoffs can be so rewarding. If you are willing to take a risk and willing to put in some work and effort, a home-based business may just be the best choice to fulfilling your Hundred-Fold-Life.

H-F-L-Team: Reverse Funnel System, Total Scam Or Big Winner?Copyright © Douglas Miller Hundred-Fold-Life http://www.ClixGo.comWhen I first looked at this opportunity I was sure it was a total scam and out right dismissed it. But it did intrigue me. I did a little bit of digging and could see people were making good incomes. However, I still thought it was a scam. I’ve been around the block a few times and seen a lot come and go. I have made money and lost money. I even thought I had it figured out how the reverse funnel system managed to pay out these phenomenal and honestly at the time unbelievable amounts. I thought, it must be a typical ponzi scheme, where the ones that are already in get money back from the new people just arriving with no value or product being provided. If you are in one of these you just have to hope you get your money back plus that of someone else before the whole thing collapses “they have been illegal for almost ever but dirt bags still run them”. I discovered that the reverse funnel system is for real and made of a real product and opportunity. So after about four months of ignoring the flashing banners and advertising everywhere, I even started hearing radio ads. Luckily for me a “guru” friend that I trust and do business with suggested I take a serious look at the business. He had done a bit more in-depth investigation and was so impressed and confident with what he had found that he was prepared to help me, along with about a hundred others, into it as well. I have learned “often the hard way” when he says move on this now I move without question. I had my first sale a few days later and my second a few days after that. More importantly, it is a business I am proud to be associated with I now even advertise it on my website. It is not for everyone and it does take some work and a bit of cash up front. I know, I know here’s were I am supposed to say it is easy, can do it in your pajamas, etc but in my humble opinion with anything in life that is worth doing you have to do the ground work up front before you can kick back a little and relax or play golf or what ever you enjoy. There is a learning curve, there is, effort to set it up. This is true of every legitimate business but what an opportunity this one is. You get the exclusive source to sell a ten thousand dollar vacation product for three thousand dollars and make a hefty grand every time you do it, plus I also get the vacation benefits. I run it all online from my home. So for me it has been a big winner and it is a privilege to recommend that you take a look too. Maybe it is for you and maybe not, but you owe it to yourself and your family and take a serious look at your chance for real financial freedom, and live your Hundred-Fold-Life.

H-F-L-Team: Working as an Independent Employee or ContractorCopyright © Douglas Miller Hundred-Fold-Life http://www.ClixGo.comIn seeking your Hundred-Fold-Life, in the work at home job market there are two different options to look at. You can either be an employee or an independent contractor. The two are very different and understanding them is very important. The Employee:Most people are familiar with being an employee and what that entails. In general, most jobs outside the home are employee positions. An employee works exclusively for the company. The company pays taxes on their behalf and withholds taxes form their paycheck. The person enters into an agreement to work for a certain amount of pay and usually for specified work hours. Also known as trading time for money. As an employee a person is entitled to benefits some better than others. They may get health insurance, paid days off, vacation time and other bonuses from the company. They also qualify for unemployment through the government and workers compensation due to injury on the job. An employee position in the work at home job market is growing but still rare. There are opportunities, but mostly the work at home jobs are for independent contractors. The Independent Contractor:An independent contractor works for no one but himself or herself. An independent contractor basically makes an agreement to work for the company. They are exclusive member of the company and are not indebted to the company. Typically the work agreement is for a set amount or set time period and the pay is often negotiable. The company dopes not pay taxes nor do they withhold taxes for the independent contractor. That is left up to you to do. The independent contractor does not get benefits and cannot qualify for certain government benefits. Furthermore, a company does not have to guarantee work beyond the end of the contract to the independent contractor. A company can use the independent contractor only when they need them. This arrangement does give the independent contractor more freedom. When an independent contractor is not in a contract with a company then they are free to work with someone else or to even take time off. This flexibility is often a top reason people choose this type of work. They have more control over their time because they are not locked into an everyday agreement. Most work at home jobs are going to fall under the position of an independent contractor. That of course is if you don’t have your own Home-Based Business. Why do Work at Home Jobs Have a tendency to be for Independent Contractors?The reason is that many companies choose to use home workers because it lowers their costs. They do not have to provide a workspace for them or the tools and equipment they need to do their job. So, the company doesn’t want to have to be locked into using them all the time for a job that will only be needed for a short period of time. They also save on pay out benefits. Using independent contractors makes sense and saves money for a company. Also there are positions as independent contractors that are like a hybrid of being an employee and independent contractor. These positions offer a set work schedule and pay, but have the benefit of freedom, but you may have to pay your own taxes. When looking for a work at home job you should not be too stuck on finding a position as an employee, explore your options. It is best to understand both types of positions so you can choose what’s best for you and for your Hundred-Fold-Life.
