This is because gift baskets provide an acceptable gesture that borderlines both formal and informal gestures. When cleverness escapes the mind, choosing to send a gift basket is an easy move that pleases most.Why Market a Gift Basket to Businesses?

There is huge marketplace to tap into as you explore the possibilities regarding corporate gift giving.  As you market a gift basket to business representatives, you should pinpoint the kind of lure they will respond most to. This means researching some of the occasions or times of the year that companies and the corporate world may find the most need for a gift basket arrangement.

Gift baskets allow big business to extend a hand to one another after sealing a company deal. They can say “thank you” in a more meaningful way than the telephone. During the holidays, they can also use gift baskets as a way to bridge the gap between clients. On an in-house level, you may market a gift basket to business executives when Secretary’s Day rolls around. This is one of the best ways to show appreciation in a quick and simple manner.

Gift Baskets Revealed

There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and there’s more than one way to make money online. In fact, you have many options if your goal is to earn an income utilizing the Internet. I’ll list a few of these options here as well as the various ways these business models can be monetized.

Information or “Content” Sites

Basically this is just what it sounds like…a website with lots of good information on a particular topic.

How do you make money?

There are several ways sites like this can make money. They can be monetized with Google AdSense ads. You can recommend affiliate products (basically selling other people’s stuff for a commission) on content sites. You can sell advertising on a busy site.

Product Sales Sites

This is a site that sells products, whether physical or digital. Physical products would include things that need to be shipped like your lavender boo-boo salve that everyone raves about or your soy candles that don‘t pollute the air.

Digital products would be things like an ebook that shares all your home school or discipline tips or an audio or video that teaches someone how to do something faster, easier or better.

There are thousands of people online every day looking to buy cool stuff. Someone’s gotta sell it to them!

Even if you don’t make the product yourself, you can find companies that do drop shipping. For instance, World Wide Brands is a drop shipping company endorsed by eBay itself.

Service Businesses

A service site would market some valuable service that you provide. For instance, parenting coaching or marriage counseling. With this kind of business you’re trading your time for dollars, but you can also learn to earn more money passively by incorporating affiliate products into your business.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is basically selling other people’s products or services for a commission. This kind of business has several advantages:

1) It’s inexpensive to start- affiliate programs are free to join.

2) There is no inventory to clutter up your home

3) You can start an affiliate site and earn passive income. Once it is set up and getting steady traffic, you can go into “maintenance mode” and only update it rarely, yet still receive regular income from it.

Direct Sales

Direct sales can be a great choice for someone who wants a built in product, business plan and support wrapped up in one package. Plus the market research has been done already and there are people interested in the product.

To find a direct sales company, you may want to visit the Direct Sales Association You can search there for companies that market all sorts of products. If you’re already building a direct sales business why not take it to the web so the world can be your customer or business prospect? Tons of people search online for business opportunities. There are a lot of advantages to taking your existing direct sales business to the web.

EBay business

You were wondering when I was going to get around to this, weren’t you? Online auctions have made it possible for thousands of people to earn a full time living on the Internet.

If you make your own product (whether a physical product or a digital one), you would be smart to do eBay at least part time. EBay is the second busiest site on the web. It would be wise of you to take advantage of their traffic to increase exposure to your business! You can do eBay exclusively or combine it with your other business idea to increase your earnings and exposure.

Internet Talk Radio/Podcasting

This is a relatively new concept- Internet talk radio available on demand 24/7 by anyone who has a computer! It sounds complicated but really isn’t. Publishing audio on your website is as easy as signing up for an Audio Acrobat account, lifting your phone and dialing a number, and talking! Imagine getting paid to talk about your favorite topics!

As I’m writing this, there is Healthy Family Talk Radio, Natural Moms Talk Radio, Homeschooling Talk Radio, Baby Talk Radio, Army Wife Talk Radio, Work at Home Mom Talk Radio… and there is plenty of room for more shows.

How do you make money?

You earn money from advertising, as well as from affiliate sales. For instance, let’s say you interview a popular author on your show. You put a link to their products on Amazon.com on your site. People listen to the show and want to learn more, so they buy the book and you get a commission. You can also sell advertising space on your show’s site, as well as on air ad spots. You can even monetize the site with Google AdSense if you like.

As you can see, there are many ways you can earn income on the Internet. Pick a business model that suits you and get started!

Not all traffic exchanges are equal.  There is a new wave of traffic exchanges that are niched to specific audiences.  ShoppingWithMoms.com, the sister site to Wanttobeawahm.com, has been around for well over a year and focuses on work at homes and their businesses.  Recently, ShoppingWithMoms.com upgraded from a basic traffic exchange, where members surfed each others sites for credits, to a full advertising exchange network.  The upgraded Shopping With Moms now offers its members banner and text ad exchanges.  Members can add unlimited text and banner ads to the exchange.  In return, members can place banners and text ads on their sites.  Members who choose to do this, receive credits for ads to be displayed throughout the network.  A member who participates in all 3 of the exchanges (traffic, banner, and text) can easily earn enough free advertising to really make a huge difference in the visitors and customers.  Being that Shopping With Moms is focused on moms and work at home moms, the audience is targetted to where most work at home businesses want to aim at.

Pro member accounts are also available in the price range of $2.99 to $9.99 a month.  Pro accounts receive credits in a three areas of the exchange network as well as the opportunity to post on the Shopping With Moms ~ Product Spotlight blog for free.  Although most members use only the free membership with lots of success, more members are starting to take advantage of the really inexpensive pro accounts and the extra perks (including discounts on credit purchases).

Joining Shopping With Moms is really simple, just a user name and a valid email address is all that is needed.  The sites are only family friendly, which makes it safe to work on with little ones close at hand.

Do you enjoy teaching others? Are you looking for the flexibility of owning your own business? Would you like to make on an average $25 or more an hour? Then the tutoring business might be the perfect home business for you to start.

Tutors Wanted!

The good news is that there is a growing demand for tutors. Being a tutor isn’t just about academics either. It can be sports, music, and the arts. And it’s just not the kids who are looking for tutors. With so many adults going back to school, adults are actively seeking tutors and coaches to better themselves.

Those who make great tutors are teachers, teacher’s aids, dads, moms, coaches, those who home school, and entrepreneurs. Anyone that has the desire and enjoys teaching will find this a great field to get into.

The nice thing about becoming a tutor is that all you need to say is, “I’m a tutor.” There is no state licensing or certifications, and you don’t need a college degree. While it’s a great selling point if you do have some qualifications, it’s not necessary. Just the fact that you’ve helped your own kids with their homework for many years can establish you as a tutor.

Here are just a few areas that you can choose to tutor:

  • All subjects taught in school
  • A foreign language, or English as a second language
  • Any type of Sport
  • Any type of musical instrument
  • Voice lessons
  • Reading (Children and Adults)
  • College Entrance Exams
  • Computers (The senior citizen market is a great area to tap into)
  • All types of art

This is just a partial list. There are so many areas that could require a tutor.

The Joy Of Owning Your Own Tutor Business

Think about the areas you would like to teach. Don’t be afraid to niche yourself. While at first it might seem like a good idea to tutor all subjects, you’ll find that being considered an expert in one area is the way to go. If down the road you’re tutoring someone in Math who needs additional help in English, and this is something you feel comfortable with, go for it, but finding your niche is always a good thing.

As the owner of your own tutoring business, you can decide the client base with which you’d like to work. If you want to work with kids, you can decide if they will be elementary, middle school, high school, junior college or college. If you find you get along better with middle aged children, then work with them. You no longer have to make money working with people you really don’t enjoy or jive with. That’s the beauty if self-employment.

What Makes You The Expert?

Whether you’re tutoring biology, flute, or soccer; what are your qualifications? Are you a teacher? Do you have a degree in music? Have you been working as a biologist for many years? Now’s the time to toot your horn. Even if you’re a mom or dad who loves a certain subject and has helped your own kids, you can easily say you’ve had this many years helping children in that particular area.

Where And When To Teach

The cost of starting your own tutor business really isn’t that much when compared to other businesses. Most of the time you’ll be teaching in your own home at your kitchen table. You don’t really need any books; your students will bring their own. Anything you need to buy like flyers and business cards, is a tax write off.

When school is in session you’ll find your busiest times will be Monday through Friday from 2:30 PM To 9:00 PM. You can decide the exact hours you want to offer, and if you want to teach on the weekends. You can decide if you want to work in the summer, since sometimes kids need to go to Summer school, or parents simply want their kids to have a jump-start on the next grade.

How much can you really make?

Depending on how much you tutor, in what part of the country you tutor, how in demand you are, and how many students you have all depends on what you’re going to make and what you can charge. Below is a chart based on making $25 an hour, which is about average for a tutor. However, it’s not unheard of for tutors to make as much as $60 an hour!

You Charge $25 An Hour…

Your Work 5 Hours A Week $500/month

…………. 10 Hours A Week $1000/month

…………. 20 Hours A Week $2000/month

…………. 40 Hours A Week $4000/month

Creating your own tutoring business can be fun, challenging, rewarding, and very profitable financially. Find an area you love, an age group you get along with and enjoy teaching, and the sky is the limit.

The teen years are expensive years.  Most teens can’t wait to get their hands on the latest electronic gadgets, sneakers and clothes… but these things come with a hefty price tag.   So what’s a teen to do when their weekly allowance just wont stretch far enough?  Well start a business of course…

Here are two quick and easy to start online business ideas for teens:

Start a blog - blogs are by far the easiest way to start making a little extra money online.  Simply go to www.blogger.com and register for a free account.   The process is really easy, so parents your teens don’t have to be techies to get started.  A blog can be about anything that will be of interest to other people.  You may need to help you teen research to make sure there is a need for the specific type of blog they choose.  Once you know there’s a need for it, you can monetize that blog with Google AdSense.

Every time someone visits your blog and clicks on a Google ad you get a certain amount of money per click.  Now you may want to reinforce this message to your teens - please don’t ever, ever, ever click on your own ads or get someone else to do it for you.  This could get you eliminated from the Google AdSense program and you won’t be able to use it again. 

Start a Local Teen Website - Local searches are on the rise.  This means that more and more people are searching online for even local events and happenings.  Teens love the internet, so why not help your teen put together a website geared towards the local teens in the community.  This website could include things like places to hang out, the latest movies, places to eat, places to shop and anything of interest to teens!

Your teen can also make a little extra money by linking to products which interest teens on the site through their affiliate ID.  This means if someone buys a product on your teen’s site they make a commission as long as the person clicked through to the product with your teens affiliate ID. 

One example of an affiliate program you can easily sign up for is www.Amazon.com , they sell a wide variety of things and by linking to Amazon from your teens site they can make a little extra money that way too.

Whoever said businesses were difficult to start, certainly had not discovered the service business.  A service business, just as the name implies, is a business where YOU provide an in-demand service to others.

It can be anything from doing transcription work to starting a cleaning service to offering virtual assistant services - any business where you provide a necessary service.

The service business is easy to start.  You can usually start it with one person (you) and build it up as you go along.  If you’re really smart you’ll think BIG and do what many other great entrepreneurs have done and build a mega-service business where you simply manage and delegate.

Here’s how it works:

Say you offer transcription services to online marketers - You can start by doing the transcribing yourself while you build trust with your clients and start getting repeat business.  Once you see there’s more work coming in than you can handle or you simply decide it’s time you stopped typing and started marketing, then you can hire other transcriptionists to work you. 

And it’s easy! You hire them as subcontractors which means they’re responsible for their own taxes and all you do is outsource work to them at a lower rate than you make.  You are ultimately responsible for the work, which is why you’ll take a cut of the service fee. 

You can start by outsourcing to one transcriptionist, then two, three and eventually you can end up with a huge team of trained quality transcriptionists.  You can then hire a few editors (also as subcontractors) to edit the work and help relieve your work load even further. 

You then can concentrate on marketing, training, and keeping the team morale high.

Let’s take another example:

You decided to start a ghost writing service.  You start with a few clients you write for and find it fairly easy… but eventually those clients start recommending your fantastic services to all their colleagues!  Well at this point you can politely decline and say you’re booked OR you can do the smart thing and hire other writers to help you out. 

You pay them a reduced fee so that you still make a profit.  Hey after all it is your name on the line and ultimately you are responsible. 

By thinking big you can take what was originally a one-woman (or man) service and turn it into a huge success.  The trick is to thing BIG and realize that a service business doesn’t necessarily mean you’re “trading your time for money”.  By putting a few smart systems into place you can have your cake AND eat it too.

  • WAHM’S, Start Your Blogging For Profit Not Just Pleasure?
    12th May 2007
    Author: John Elliott
    Blogging is one of the best ways to start a Wahm business because it is so easy to get going. However, that does not mean that it is easy to make money from your blog. Don’t start a blog and expect to see money rolling in immediately. Blogging is an activity that will take time to build up to a profit level. It’s a good thing to start while you are working on other Wahm opportunities to let it build to a profitability level. With time and attention, your blog (or blogs) will grow into a business.
    When you are blogging for profit, you’ll want to pay close attention to how you present yourself in your blog. There are literally hundreds of thousands of blogs out there, and there may be several hundred blogs that are related to your topic. If your readers can’t understand your blog and have trouble reading it, they’ll just move on to the next one. The following tips can make your blog more user-friendly and help you gain consistent readers.
    First, pay close attention to the format of your blog. Readers want to understand how your blog works right from the start. Most blogging platforms have similar formats, with links and tags on the left or right margin, and the most recent post on top. Make sure to use the links wisely. Only put links up for blogs or content that is truly related to your blog’s topic. The point is to give your readers additional information on your topic. Keep the list short and sweet. There is no reason to overwhelm them with links to other sites.
    Also, take careful consideration when choosing your blog’s background and font color. Although there are a lot of color choices that blogging programs offer, its best to stick with a light background and dark text. Studies have shown that the human brain can process this type of format better than light text on a dark background. Think about this before you commit to a black background and white text. It might look striking, but readers might not want to stay there for long. Also, use a solid background color instead of trying to use a pattern or design.
    Proofread your entries before you post them to your blog. There is nothing that reduces your authority in the eyes of your readers’ more than bad spelling and grammar. The online world is a world of text, so take some time to learn commonly misspelled words and grammatical errors.
    Keep your blog fresh and interesting by posting at least once per day. With so much information available on the Internet, your readers may go elsewhere if you aren’t supplying daily content. If you aren’t sure what to write about, try posting a poll, a link to another blog, comment on a news story or post of list of helpful tips. Not every post has to be long and complicated, but you do need to post something everyday.
    These tips will help keep your blog readable and interesting to your visitors. The more visitors you get, the more your blog will grow in profitability and importance. Just make sure to present yourself in a professional way and keep your readers coming back for more new content each day. In no time, you’ll have a profitable blog and then you can move on to create two or three.

    eBay - Hobby or Business?

    May 23rd, 2007

    eBay is a great way to get bring in extra money.  You can start slowly by selling a few items you have been meaning to get rid off and grow until eventually you’re buying and selling items in bulk through your own eBay store!

    There certainly are no limits to how much money you can make on eBay it all comes down to how much you want to get out of it - if you treat it as a hobby then, well you’ll make pocket money.  If you treat it like a business and think big - then you’ll be an entrepreneur on your way to success.

    If you haven’t yet sold an item on eBay, have no fear it isn’t too difficult to set up your own auction.  eBay themselves have a whole section with tips for making the most out of your auctions.

    As mentioned, start small with a few items and grow from there.  One thing to keep in mind is that feedback is extremely important on eBay.  You want to make sure you have a positive interaction with all your buyers and that your feedback is spotless. 

    The best way to ensure good feedback is to make sure you describe your items as accurately as possible so there are no misunderstandings (if something has a scratch then say so), contact the buyer right away after an auction, ship the items promptly taking all the necessary precautions and you’re courteous and provide feedback.

    It’s not rocket science but merely good customer service skills.  Always go beyond what’s expected and people will recognize that.

    Once you’re ready to go BIG with eBay you can think about drop shipping (this is where you don’t hold or ship any stock and a third party provider provides and ships the goods for you for a percentage fee).  You’ll need to do your homework before you try drop shipping as there are some unfortunate scams out there.

    You can also think of opening your own eBay store and really expanding.  The possibilities with eBay are endless it’s simply up to you whether you treat eBay as a hobby or really commit to building a full-time income around it.

    Do you like to take pictures? There are ways to make money and even earn a living taking photgraphs. No, I am not talking about taking pictures of families and children at your local super shopping store. I am not even talking about taking wedding, sports, or graduation portraits.

    There are websites that sell photos to web designers, advertising companies, and more. When you see a picture on a billboard of some person doing something like sitting at a desk, or typing on a computer, washing a car, and any other activity, those images came from somewhere. Sometimes you see photos of trees, rainbows, cars, rain, the moon…you get my point. Anyway, you can find out how you can get your photos sold to people looking for just the right shot.

    Find out about how you can make money with a regular digital camera. You can sell your images online at stock photo websites.
