Home based business

Home based business is a growth industry, you only have to look at Google to see over 47,000 entries.

Why is a home based business so popular?

One reason is the fact that operating a home based business provides you with tax breaks, so for instance if you purchase a new computer for $1,000 it will end up costing you only $400. Because the office of your home based business is your own home, part of the running costs of your house can be offset against tax

Business trips are tax deductable, so the costs of running your car are reduced. You can even make shopping trips tax deductable by using these trips to hand out leaflets and /or sizzle cards.

A home based business does provide you with the freedom to work when you want and how you want, but you need to remember that it is a business and treat it as such.

Set up a schedule of working hours to suit your lifestyle, if you are building a home based business to supplement your income and working part time. Set time aside in the evening or weekends and let people know that this is when you are working your business.

Starting a home based business is not easy, it takes time, effort and knowledge, you need to learn about sales and marketing.


One of the first thinks to realise is that Internet marketing is a science and you will need to master this to build a successful home based business. You can read books and tapes, but generally it is better to learn with hands on training.
