Guest post by: graylin sanders

Article Overview: Being as the Home Based Business industry is a new industry. There has not really been much collected to chronicle the history of this viberant industry. So I want to make some information that was collected by the US Census in 1996 and 1997. Data collected from the tax returns of 125,00 people who where involved in a Home Based Business opportunity.A breakdown of basic information such as rate of success. The median level of profits achieved etc.

Home Based Business: the secret economy 1

Home Based Business: the Secret Economy is a relatively new industry and not much statistical data has been collected on the home based marketing business. That would provide information on what are the major types of home based small business activities being conducted from the home. What is the average amount of start-up capital needed to start an online home base business? And of these at home businesses what is an accurate percentage of how many of these home based opportunities survive and grow.

Referring to data collected by the U.S. Census in 1996 and 1997 gives a clear picture of what impact at home business is having on the economy and on the lives of those who are operating online home based businesses. Included in this report is previously unpublished data on home based small business which gives information on small business both from the home and outside of the home.

Here is an example of those findings on activity in home based marketing businesses. Using 125, ooo business tax returns filed by operators of online home based businesses. Filed as sole proprietorships, partnerships, or subchapter S corporations these were use to gather the data in the later released report.

Here are the factors that went into the report the smallest "active businesses" those having as little as $5oo dollars in receipts. Small businesses of employer type and non-employer type home based marketing business and small business marketing included two genders ant three racial and ethnic categories.

Here is a breakdown 33 percent of all small business firms were operated by women. That figure has continued to grow in home based marketing business. There is 59 percent operated by non-minority males in internet home based business, 3 percent by Blacks in online home based business, 4 percent by Hispanics operating home businesses the remaining 93 percent is made up of Asian and Pacific Islanders and 3 percent American Indian and Alaska Native operators of home based marketing businesses.

Home based internet business these small business owners. Used their home business to earn a primary income in most cases and secondary supplemental incomes in others as a part time income stream this varies from demographic group type of home based business and the locality.

Let's run down some key points here in the home based marketing business. Keep in mind that this information is from 1992 sources and the home based small business industry has been gathering momentum ever since then worldwide.

Home based marketing business makes up 52 percent of all small business and provides 10 percent of the economies total receipts, or about $314 billion in 1992 this shows the future potential of home based internet business.

Over 55,000 of these home based marketing businesses produced sales exceeding 1,000,000 dollars some of these home based business opportunities employed over 3.5 million people operating small business in the home and outside.

The average amount of receipts for all home based marketing businesses was around the 40,000 dollars this varied according to demographic. Home based small business 40 to 44 percent require less than 5,000 for start-up. There are another 25 percent of home based marketing businesses that require $5,000 to 25,000 for start-up cost. Compared to brick and mortar small businesses that need much more than 25,000 to start-up to get off the ground

I will be collecting new data to write another article on Home based Business: the Secret Economy giving an updated account of the unlimited potential of this great opportunity

Re: How Much Of Ourselves Should We Give Away...? - what a great topic david start here, it reminds me of a movie i watched resently called KUNFU PANDA. The movie is all about keeping secret. there were two secret kept: the secret of dragon scroll and secret of cooking, later the secret was revealed which was no secret kept. the reason am relating this movie with the topic is that, you can give out 90% for free and hold on to 10% secret which will make you have more customer and traffic. I know some marketers both the internet and offline that will give you 100% product for free but whenever they want to sell to you the little one you will be glad to respond because of their gesture. What I would like to say is that giving out most of the product is a great marketing strategy to win more buyers to your future products.
