Computer & Internet Franchises You Can Start In Your Pajamas

Whether it’s to spend more time with the family, or to be able to live out in the country miles from civilization. From avoiding traffic jams, to wanting to take your time with toast and jams, there are many reasons to leave the corporate world and work at home. With all of the home based business opportunities out there being able to work at home has never been easier. There is such a literal surge of commerce and business that takes place solely on the internet today that many business can be run from any home in America. All that is needed to work at home is some desk space, a computer, and an internet connection. That, and knowing what type of business or franchises can actually be run completely from home. Here are 5 internet businesses that can be run from home with very little or no outside commuting or labor requirements.

#3 1-800-905-GEEK
This “Geeks on call company” is America’s leading independent provider of on-site and telephone computer support for small businesses. An easy to remember name that explains the contact information and the services provided make this work at home franchise exceptionally attractive to the internet entrepreneur. Whether a strong growth in the needs a business provides, national footprint in name recognition, comprehensive training, strong sales and marketing support, or a network of area franchisers is top of the priority list 1-800-905-GEEK provides it all. Many businesses rely everyday on some sort of outside IT support to help them continue to reach customers in an increasing digital world. For those who understand computers and technology providing IT and computer assistance is a profitable business that can be run comfortable from anywhere phone and internet service is available.

#4 DVDNow Kiosk
The DVDNow kiosk franchise, while not a 100% work at home franchise is run online, and is completely flexible in the terms of where, when, and how many DVDNow kiosks are serviced by each franchise owner. DVDNow offers franchise owners a business opportunity in local shops and retail areas, such as grocery stores and malls, to provide busy shoppers with the chance to rent and return DVD’s without having to make additional stops at a video store. Each owner determines the titles and quantities managed in his or her kiosk online, and stocks, and monitors each kiosk from home. The DVDNow kiosk allows franchise owners an opportunity to stock current titles, which represent 90% of all movie rentals, without having to manage large, inventories of infrequently viewed material.

#5 Virtuoso Music
Virtuoso is a franchise opportunity that revolves around the world of music. From music lessons and other music related products to recitals, festivals, and community events, Virtuoso Music franchises are work at home franchises that have a direct and positive effects n a local community. If working online from a computer is attractive, but not at the cost of being removed from positive impact on the community, Virtuoso offers a great blend of home based work and public impact in a business.

These internet home based franchises require virtually no overhead costs. The fraction of capital that it takes to operate and run a successful internet franchise as opposed to the headache of managing inventory, warehouses, retail, and office space is incredibly attractive. Remember that when looking into a small business opportunity, consider internet and other work from home franchises. They have recognizable brand names, the convenience of home, and with all franchises listed here they offer extensive training and continuous support. Working from home could be one of the most freeing and satisfying parts of the American dream. The internet provides the connection to the world and customers while allowing you the privacy and contentment of staying home. So put all of those ties, business suits, uncomfortable shoes, and collared shirts in that section of the closet reserved for weddings and funerals. Work attire can now be as simple as sliding into those fluffy slippers and turning on the computer, happy franchising.

Re: How to promote my site - All I can suggest to you is.. if you don't have knowledge in SEO and or in Internet Marketing, you better understand what is SEO first and what it's dos and don'ts.. After you learn in.. Start with the basic SEO techniques: - Web Directories Submission - Classified Ads - Social Bookmarking - Forum Posting - Blogging - Article Submission Then the rest follows..
secure my connection - I agree with Link's second post. Security is a personal sticky issue and possibly not the first service you should introduce yourself at the door. I'd suggest also the Back to School "In-Home" Computer tuneup (it's such a pain to take your computer in for servicing) and promise that they would see a smoother and faster computer. You can hand them a 2 page report on the benefits of having a computer tuneup -> this is critical. After you are gone this is the only piece of information that they will have to begin trusting you and want to have you in their home. You can sneak at the bottom of the report the benefits of having a wireless connection and the importance of Securing it. finish off the report with two dotted rounded rectangle boxes beside each other. One has a free Computer tune up assessment and the other a free wireless network security test. If they take you up on either you can test for the other. You now have two sources of possible income.

Re: Would you pay $35 for a movie ticket? - I rarely go to the regular local movie theatre, so for $35 a ticket, they will have to message my feet too! Imagine the cost for a family of 5 people or more? I would NOT pay that price when I can rent or pay-per-view a movie and stay home in my Pajamas, have a glass of wine with a cozy fire going, and I can pause the movie to use the rest room so I don't miss a thing! I won't be listening to cell phones ringing or rude people talk thru the movie either and there won't be weighters "serving" people which I view as only a distraction to others. Also- are these weighters looking for a tip on top of the $35 ticket? I don't really see this idea taking off, I think it's ridiculous.
franchisebrief.com good clean design - I actually really like the design - it's clean and not busy. The information is easy to find. You mentioned you didn't want to monetize from the site thru the use of adwords but what about JV'ing with all or most of the Franchises you are referring people to. Is that possible in the Franchise industry?
