How To Untangle Your Home Web Business
| Guest post by: David Beairsto |
Article Overview: Since establishing a home web business is both economical and practical, it is attracting thousands of people each day from all over the world into a web of confusion. The practice of hard selling affiliate companies to people with no business education can be misleading if not downright deceiving. Thankfully aspiring entrepreneurs can still find valuable leaders who teach that the business owner is the business and the affiliate is just something they offer.

How To Untangle Your Home Web Business
You Call This Easy?
For people with technical backgrounds certain aspects of the home web business are easier than most people in the crowd find them.
Yet it's easy to be absorbed in all the wizardry of online business automation and forget the foundation that all business is built upon:
1. Providing an actual solution that people are currently looking for (development)
2. Connecting your solution to those people looking for it (marketing)
3. Leveraging that connection to generate momentum (customer support/service)
4. And the most important thing...
The Missing Ingredient...
Unless a spider uses that sticky substance its web won't hold together nor will anything get stuck inside. I know... gross.
Without ‘spices' food is bland, without ‘passion' life is tedious, without ‘wind' sailing turns into rowing and without ‘you' that home web business is just an image on a screen.
If you have the technical skills to generate killer graphics and the copywriting skills that draw people in, how sustainable is the interaction if your visitors find an affiliate but never find you?
Window Dressing
Most retail stores stock products from a variety of suppliers and those suppliers cater to as many manufacturing sources as possible. Competing stores with the same goods spend a great deal of time on window displays to entice people to come inside.
Home web business owners that use affiliate products or memberships as the front end of their business miss the point of window dressing.
Retail stores start with the window dressing to draw people inside where they can experience the rest of the store's atmosphere, personality and character.
Integrity Breeds Sustainability
Leaders who offer real value in the form of information, training and understanding are attractive because of their personal value, not their primary business. They genuinely care about the success of people they're introducing to internet business.
Affiliate marketing will never go away but the process by which online business opportunities are offered should be based upon a clear understanding of what home web business really involves. Independent entrepreneurs aren't just the casing for someone else's products and services... they are the business.
Just as MLM companies are slowly learning that new distributors need some type of education in marketing to build a business, internet entrepreneurs have to address the need for developing depth to the front end of their business.
Easier to Learn the Hard Way
Just like the fly that got caught in the web... yeah I know, gross... it's easier to learn when you actually make the mistakes.
Building a business requires becoming a leader which requires offering something of value that identifies your uniqueness. By pouring your personality and character into the products and services you offer, people will recognize and resonate with your passion.
In the absence of that depth the internet is filling up with ‘stage 2' spam in which prospects must ‘opt in' before they get it.
The good news is that thousands of prospects are looking to start a home web business and they want valuable leadership.

Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It?
- HI,
I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business.
It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need.

Books for Women Entrepreneurs
- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!
