Sorry for the delay in posting these days. I have been on a hiatus doing some work with local businesses in my area. Just wanted to drop a line and say that I am back and will soon have more great work at home business opportunities for you, so stay tuned!

I know its been quite some time since I last posted.  I have been busy helping a few local businesses here in sunny so cal get on the internet map, and therefore have had little time to post business ideas.

I came across this offer to win a free laptop and I thought I would post it here for our readers.  If you are going to start an online business, either one from the directory here, or your own, the one thing you will need is a computer.  Here is a chance to win one.

Click the pic of the laptop to enter. Good Luck!

I for one know how hard it is to try to start a home based business without any funds.  Its tough!  If your home based business is an online venture then you need money for server hosting, domain name registration, and initial inventory perhaps.

Anyway you get my point.  It  is literally impossible to start any kind of business without some kind of money up front.

I came across another stellar Ezine article that I want to share:

The dynamics of small businesses permanently leave in front of inexperienced entrepreneurs a string of obstacles -or challenges- that are not always simple to overcome. One of those obvious obstacles is mostly the money to start.

Therefore, the best way to do business if you are not rich and have little or no money to give up, is to seek for ways to start little, and from there build up your economic liberty.

Now, how can you start a small business that will enable you to receive a steady pay from which you can make a living fast?

Well, for starters, you ought to modify the way you envision a small business. Forget about locations, employees and complicated operations, and start thinking about simplicity, flexibility and profitability.

It sounds nice, and it does for one reason: It is so. Approaching the notion of a business differently, through a non-traditional business mold, can mean the difference between wasting a bunch of time -and money- and doing a lot with very little, but most importantly, doing a lot without risking a lot.

What commerce models can you move toward that will not entangle you in the usual mess of problems the usual business model will?

There are many, but in my top 3 catalog you will find internet or affiliate marketing, online trading, and e-commerce. All of these businesses retain one point in common: They have unrestrained profit potential, they can be up and running in record time and they demand little to no money to kick start them.

These are business models that will enable you to start really petite (microscopic small) but profit great, and one of the reasons for it is that you will hardly incur in any expenses, which translates in a ROI that no other small business can offer.

Add to that the fact that all you need to start is a PC and an internet connection, and you can completely understand why I say that you have to (and can allow yourself to) start thinking about simplicity, flexibility and profitability.

The job situation continues to look bleak here in the U.S. The unemployment rolls increased by 851,000 in February 2009. States, while the stock market successfully climbs out of its malaise. Many individuals are still nervous as they watch their colleagues and relatives receive pink slips. One of the major concerns for those new laid off workers is the issue of how to file for unemployment.

Unemployment insurance offered by the federal government gives several benefits to the workers who are unemployed due to a variety of reasons. The states are in charge of managing the local programs.

In order to receive unemployment compensation, eligibility requirements must be met. Some of these terms relate to wages earned and length of time on the job. If you are in the unfortunate position of being laid off, you must take immediate action to establish your eligibility.

First you will need to establish is that you are laid off through no fault of your own. Gather any documents you have that can verify your current status. Be sure to have proof of citizenship or your residency card if you are here as a resident alien. Compile any information you can on past employment and review any information on how to file for unemployment in order to be prepared.

The following reasons will disqualify you from receiving unemployment benefits.

* Quitting without cause

* Resigned due to illness

* Termination for misconduct

* Choose self-employment

* Matrimony

* Education opportunity

* Labor dispute

Filing for unemployment benefits

Immediately upon being laid off, the first thing you should do is to file for your unemployment benefits. The process normally takes two -three weeks to complete.

In order to file a claim, here is the information you must have on hand:

* Social Security Number

* Alien Registration Card (for resident alien identification)

* Mailing address along with the zip code

* Contact phone number

* Past employment information for the previous two years

After establishing eligibility for unemployment benefits call or visit your local office. You will have to fill out the required forms. Each state has a ceiling on the maximum amount you get in benefits. Normally the amount is half of your average weekly salary. In some states the maximum amount you can withdraw is 26 times your weekly benefit amount or half of your base wages, whichever is less.

Filing for unemployment in your state may be easier in person at your local office. Though you may have been paying into Federal unemployment insurance while working, your current benefits are still subject to the Federal income taxes. Don’t forget to report your benefits on your Federal income tax return.

In this turbulent economy where people are stuck at home jobless, I can show you how to achieve your dreams and find the job you’ve always wanted…

You’ll know where to go and what to do.

As you know, my wife and I work from home.  Her main focus for the past year has been buying items from Government Auctions and selling them in various ways.  She uses eBay mostly, but sometimes will have a garage sale here and there.  Now this business model is not for everyone.  However, the reason I am writing this today is because, for a small amount of work, she has managed to make quite a big profit.

When we started this about a year ago, I had no idea how to find Government Auctions, much less really have a business plan at all.  I slowly stared researching and realized this was actually a pretty good idea, if I could just find some Government Auctions.  After about 3 months of searching, I came across a service called Government Auction Alert whom was recommend to me by a loan shark friend of mine.  Government Auction Alert is an online service that provides its members with the ability to search for listings and links associated with applicable state and federal governmental auctions all from the comfort of your own home.  Basically, Every day the government confiscates, seizes, and repossesses thousands of items.  These Items are sold at auctions in every city of every state in the US at over 80% off of wholesale.  Yes I said wholesale.

You don’t even have to resell the items.  There have been quite a few items that my wife has kept, most of it was jewelery but in any case you can and will find some great deals.  Heck I mentioned this to my neighbor 2 weeks ago and he already bought a 2005 BMW 528i using Government Auction Alert.  I am guessing he won’t be selling that on eBay.

Success in business and life depends on your positive attitude and how you handle life’s challenges and opportunities.

For those of us who are new to online marketing and do not know what wholesale lists are, here is a little bit of background for you.

Wholesale lists are basically a compiled list of contacts, email links, and phone numbers used to buy merchandise. Most of the time in bulk at a discount price to be sold for profit. Wholesale lists are 100% legal and have proven to be for a number of people including myself, a literal gold mine.

I assume if you are reading this, you have some interest in obtaining a reliable wholesaler. Back when I started my internet marketing career, there were no such “lists”. I had to do the research myself, and suffer the pitfalls of making bad choices. Luckily for me, back then there were not many scammers out there. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said today. The internet is chock full of people trying to make a living off of the ignorance of those less informed.

Some things you can do to keep yourself on the right track when creating your wholesale lists start with your internet browser. Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome have some great extensions to help keep you on the right track. I especially like WOT (Web of Trust). Its available for both browsers and I suggest you use it. WOT allows users to input a “trustworthiness” indicator right next to the Google search results. Green for very trustworthy. Yellow for semi trustworthy and so on. I personally will not deal with any wholesaler in the yellow to red sector. Another great tool is the NetCraft tool bar. NTB basically does the same as WOT but uses a host of other references to make its trustworthiness rating. One of the things I like most about NTB is it will tell you where the webpage is being hosted. A good indicator of a fraudulent site would be the location of the web-server. If its in the Ukraine, its probably not a good one to deal with.

Creating your own wholesale lists is not hard. It is a staple of internet marketing and home based business. With the tools I described above and a little common sense, The sky is the limit.

Failure is NOT an option. Remind yourself of this daily in everything that you do.

Over the years one of the best revenue producing items for me has been Wholesale Greeting Cards. They have traditionally been very easy to get a hold of and are always in demand. From greeting card companies that have overstock and want to get rid of them cheap, to companies that specialize in the sale of bulk lot Wholesale Greeting Cards. I mean come on, who doesn’t like getting a nice greeting card?

I set up an eBay store specializing in Wholesale Greeting Cards, list my greeting cards as a bulk lot, and bingo, sells in 3 days every time! Literally making me an extra 500 to 700 dollars a week, and I don’t have to do any shipping! Now you might be asking yourself, can I do this with other products as well? Heck yea you can! You could sell wholesale craft supplies, baby clothes, silk flowers, beauty products, the possibilities are endless! To top it all off, most will even drop ship for you!

Finding the right wholesaler will be your toughest task. But never fear! It is not as hard as you might think.

Here are some things to look for when researching wholesalers:

- Make sure the supplier is pre-screened by an independent 3rd party company. I can’t stress this one enough people. No one likes to get scammed.
- Decide if you are going to have them drop ship for you. Trust me, you will want this. So make sure they ship with a reliable company. Also remember to check for international shipping. A big plus.
- Make sure they have low or no minimum order quantities. Not everyone has the purchasing power of a retail giant.
- Good phone support is a must as well. It doesn’t have to be 24/7, but its important when you need them they are fast and reliable.
- Finally, pick suppliers that have a lot of different products. This is the best way to find new ideas to market, and the products are just a click away.

Wholesale Greeting Cards are just one of the many fantastic wholesale products you can sell on eBay and make big profit.

To your Success!

Wouldn’t it  be great if someone provided all the products to start your home based business, plus take care of shipping and inventory?  Well let me tell you my friends, its here!  I stumbled across this jewel the other day and immediately signed up just to see what all the buzz is all about.  I have to admit I was skeptical at first, but after all it is my job to weed out the good from the bad.  I pride myself on it.

Ahh yes.. eBay!  The proverbial juggernaut of internet businesses.  Ebay churned out just under 10 billion dollars last year alone.  It is the world’s biggest online marketplace for the sale of goods and services by a diverse community of individuals and businesses. Today, the eBay community includes tens of millions of registered members from around the world. People spend more time on eBay than any other online site, making it the most popular shopping destination on the Internet, setting you up to make big cash.

SaleHoo is the parent company of this stellar make money from home plan.  They have over 10,000 members strong and growing.  That number alone should tell you this company is no joke.  Upon first sign up, I was given instant access to the exclusive home revenue network insiders website.  Here HRN proceeds to lay everything out in a step-by-step easy to understand manner on how to get started making money with eBay.

Now I have sold many items on eBay, and have many friends that make their living with eBay stores.  One thing they continually complain about is the hassle of shipping and inventory.  Mind you, I have never had my own eBay store, I mostly sold personal items that I didn’t need anymore such as cameras and an occasional laptop.  The one thing I hated the most was shipping, I despised it. What a hassle!  I mean from the careful packing to make sure UPS or FedEX doesn’t break anything when they are tossing (literally) it on the truck, to making sure to get it out on time.  UGH!  You get my point.  If you read my other blog posts you know I am lazy.

Anyway, with SaleHoo’s program, you don’t have to do any shipping or inventory.  You simply pick products from their vast selection of inventory, build an auction, and start selling!  Its that simple.  They take care of the shipping and everything else.  You take a majority of the cut and move on to creating another auction.  Its brilliant!

Sign up now and try it out!  I cant think of a better way to spend a buck ninety five.
