Can Your Web Based Business Survive Without You?

What if you were to need major surgery on short notice? Would your internet business from home be able to cope? If you have been in the internet marketing business for a while, then you are likely already producing a sizable revenue stream without having to do anything – but if you are not, then having to take time off could be a real problem. A major surgery will necessitate somewhere between three weeks to two months recuperation time; more if there is physical therapy needed.
If you are not at that level of success which would let you quit your day job, your business is most likely still in the early stage of development. You’ve been putting in a lot of effort – networking, building back links, writing articles and submitting them to directories; everything which needs tot be done to make your internet business a success.
Right in the middle of all this important work, you find yourself needing an operation. You’ll be recovering for as long as three months and your family don’t have the technical skills to step in and keep things running in your absence. Your internet business from home seems like it’s in for some trouble.
You need to prepare for these kinds of emergencies, to ensure that your internet business from home remains up and running. The biggest difficulty you could face is to be inactive. You can fall in Google rankings by as much as 30 places a week if you stay inactive! You have to have new content going up on a regular basis, even if it is not up to your usual standards.
You should write plenty of extra articles for these sorts of emergencies and keep them in an emergency file. You can subscribe to a PLR list to be able to take articles, edit them and resubmit them. It’s not as good as what you could do yourself perhaps; but it’s better than nothing. Show your family how to use directory submission tools and show them some of the most important article directories. If you have things properly set up, it’s just a few clicks that they’ll need to do.
Another way to keep your internet business from home active is blogging. You can show family or friends how to copy and paste material to a blog. You can also keep your business active by commenting on other people’s blogs, building back links as you do so. However, the best way to build the back links you need to stay on top of your business is directory submissions.
These tips can help you to keep things going with your internet business from home, even if you must take time off due to illness or another emergency situation. As long as you plan ahead and prepare well, you will be able to weather the storm.

eEnterprise Delivers Web-Based Business Management Software For Real-Time Data

“Standard profit and loss statements provide historical data, but don’t allow executives to correct unfavorable trends, measure results of specific strategies, and/or reward outstanding performance,” says Michael Emaus, President and CEO of eEnterprise (www.eEnterprise.com), a global integrator of NetSuite, the world’s leading on-demand business management software. “A P&L is only a scorecard of what happened in the past. The actionable information is in the key performance indicators – the metrics of who is doing what with whom, when and how. This is what we call the 360-degree view of a business, department, and/or location.”

All too often, business teams are hamstrung because they receive untimely information that reports performance rather than actionable metrics. “In a variety of ways, these executives say the same thing: they get balance sheets and profit and loss statements, but they have no way of knowing what’s causing the numbers to trend up or down,” says Emaus. “Because they don’t know the cause of the trend, it is largely unknown whether to focus efforts on certain offices, targeted geographic locations, certain salespeople, specific products, or a particular type of client.”

“In today’s environment, the growth organization needs to think fast, move fast, and embrace change,” says Emaus. With the global economy pressuring the market to build virtual and instant locations, executives need accurate, real-time, standardized information that is accessible to all levels of management and key employees. “That actionable information is especially crucial for growing a business or a multi-location enterprise,” says Emaus, whose company integrates NetSuite for businesses of all sizes, particularly multi-location, global and/or franchise organizations. “Now we are talking about the NetSuite 360-degree view of a business, department, and/or location.”

NetSuite’s two primary advantages are ease of integration and information accessibility. NetSuite integrates its four major components – sales (CRM), back office (ERP), support, and eCommerce – and makes them accessible in one system via the Internet, offering a business owner no limits on growth, management, and reach. According to Emaus, “NetSuite provides a true single view of the customer – the lead, the prospect, the product or service, the invoice, and the support. So, when a salesperson needs a history of buying patterns, they see it in real-time. When someone from accounting wants to see which products or services have been invoiced, he or she can reference the same record as the salesperson. And, when the support staff needs to view the knowledge base, they can refer to the same record and attach alerts back to sales.”

Because NetSuite is an on-demand solution, it triggers positive payback by eliminating the restraints of the traditional client/server environment. The result enables users to access relevant and timely information from anywhere/anytime.

But Emaus emphasizes that the software alone isn’t enough. “Our customers generally understand immediately that an integrated, on-demand Software as a Solution (SaaS) requires business engineers who understand their industries and goals. It requires an understanding in business first, and technology second. Delivering 360-degree collaboration tailored around a variety of industries is the true differentiator for eEnterprise.”

Concludes Emaus, “Larry Ellison pioneered the Internet for the Enterprise. Now he and NetSuite are pioneering it for the SMB market. The Internet has been his baby, and for him to acknowledge that the Small-Medium Size Business (SMB) market is where the drive is tells me he hasn’t lost his game. We’re thankful for that.”

Effective Written Responses to Customer Problem Situations ? How to Handle Customer Complaints as Part of your Web-based Business

It doesn’t always work out. You have provided your customer with a number of merchandising offers and pricing options that seem favorable and fair. But no matter what you feel is a great offer, there are times when a customer wants to just return your product. There are other customers that will have a complaint about delays in shipping or product appropriateness.

No matter how clear your return policy is defined on your website, customers feel that they should return it with a complete refund. No questions asked. The mega retailers have created this no-haggle return policy, because they have other avenues to resell these items; namely, through their discount outlets. But for the small boutique online retailer, who employs a drop-shipper, returns are usually charged a restocking fee. That fee is borne by the online retailer. It is then understandable and reasonable that a customer re-stocking fee is necessary to recover some or all of the re-stocking and credit card costs that you bear as the retailer on the initial customer purchase transaction.

When you are in the Customer Business, inevitably, you will be required to address a Customer Problem Situation. So how do you respond to these unavoidable yet regrettable customer problem situations? What is the best way to respond in writing to these customers?

1) Write your response as if your words will ultimately be posted on the internet. It could appear, in whole or in part, on someone’s BLOG, visible to all the web world to read and discuss. Remember problem situations are opportunities to further market your company’s trusted image and extend customer goodwill.

2) These emails or letters addressing problem situations should never tell the customer what they did wrong; instead, tell your customer exactly what they need to do to make the situation right. Detail the steps the customer must execute to realize the solution. This

Starting a Home Based Business in a Recession is Insane - Right?

An economic recession is on the near horizon and is bearing down on us very quickly. The global economy is headed south and is currently starting to affect a growing segment of the population. We need to buckle our collective seat belts folks, it is going to be a rough ride. How rough? Only time alone will tell. Historically speaking, most people simply try to cut spending, save money and maintain a low financial profile when a recession comes knocking. But with more people getting “downsized” and with the “credit crunch” crunching us, the Internet has increasingly become a popular place for the average-ordinary citizen to look for creative ways to make an income. So, some obvious questions come to mind. Is it really a smart choice to start an online business during a recession? Is there any upside in starting a web based business when the economy is shrinking? Can an Internet home business make money in a struggling economy? Well it is true, home based businesses actually have several distinct advantages over their brick-and-mortar counterparts. And many online network marketers really thrive during recessionary times. If you are considering these questions, here are some valid reasons why starting an online business during a recession is not nearly as insane as it sounds.Starting an online business can be cheap. Compared to the initial startup costs of a retail business, where you have to spend thousands of dollars, starting an Internet business can be done for a relatively minor investment. In a traditional business you will need furniture, office supplies, inventory, cash registers, and service supplies…etc. By eliminating these financial obstacles and others such as rent, utilities, licenses/permits, and employees, online businesses can save literally thousands of dollars compared to brick and mortar businesses. Necessary online business costs such as domain names, web hosting, auto responders, to name a few, are cheap in comparison. In addition, there are many affiliate programs and turnkey website-based systems that can be successfully run as home businesses and are either free to join or very inexpensive. Advertising an online business is relatively inexpensive and there are no physical boundaries.Online advertising enables marketers to target specific customer groups, get immediate statistics on marketing effectiveness and ensure product exposure to more prospective customers. Since there are no geographic boundaries online, an Internet business has the means to reach a worldwide audience. There are more choices available for marketing an online business and marketing costs are often not as costly as you might think. Effective marketing can be easily done at no cost. Some examples of no cost methods are free online classifieds like craigslist, making your own advertising videos to post on sites like YouTube, marketing on social websites like Facebook, starting your own blogs, writing articles for marketing…the list goes on and on. Even in turbulent financial times, online buying is more widespread than ever. Convenience and ease are still the buzzwords for Internet purchasing even in the midst of a recession. More households have personal computers and Internet access than ever before. If you combine this with overnight delivery and the basic fact that Internet sales are still largely untaxed, you can imagine why Internet shopping is so popular. You can buy something online one day, often just as cheap, and have it at your front door step the following day. Also, many products or services online are absolutely not available at the corner store or your local Wal-mart. In fact, you can obtain virtually anything online today, and numerous niche businesses have popped into existence as a direct result of the demand for specialty products. Find a niche and fill it, they will come. Internet based network marketing (MLM) businesses actually thrive in a bad economy.In a recession the number of persons actively looking for ways to make money and reduce their financial burden increase dramatically. This is exactly what network marketing or MLM businesses are designed to do – make money. In fact many MLMs actually sell money making systems. Did you realize that nearly 25 million searches are done on Google every day for ways to make money online? And this number will only expand as the economy goes downhill. That is a lot of potential customers. Network marketing on the Internet is a prime way for reaching these opportunity seekers. Starting a network marketing business is really very inexpensive. Many MLM businesses come complete with turnkey websites and training in online marketing for under $250. To wrap it up, there has yet to be an economy bad enough to stifle online business as a whole. Hopefully that time will never come because it would suggest something much worse than a recession is taking place. Business on the world wide web is entirely too strong and diversified to let a recession (even a particularly bad one) bring it to a halt. Furthermore, the Internet is such a vast place that there will always be likely customers for practically any home based business regardless of what state the economy is in. The ideal moment to launch an online business, regardless of how the economy is doing, is when you have done your homework and are positively motivated to begin and follow through it. If you happen to decide to open your venture during a recession at least you will know that it is not nearly as insane as it sounds.

Secrets to a Profitable Home Based Business

Practically every man’s supplication is to either win the lotto or become a business big shot. But even a traditional “street side” enterprise would entail considerable greenbacks to initiate. However, the genesis of the Internet made an average man’s dream come true. Web-based businesses do not require big bucks funding and usually have greater flexibility than brick-and-mortar operations.

Although the prevailing drift towards working at home was attributed to working moms wanting to stay home for their children, current statistics reflect that majority of at-home workers are men who are enabled by the Net terminal to build up a booming future. Billions of dollars of ebay commerce and online businesses are operated from the bedroom; the Web phenomenon have made many ritzy rich, and even the scandal-ridden MLM businesses were, inarguably, profitable spinoffs of the cyberspace. The internet has indeed mainstreamed the home business industry.

Success stories of home based millionaires blare incessantly online, which we know are mostly fantasies, still they continue to wow gullible hopers. Why so? Because the spiels promote the businesses as easy and simple, and it’s idiosyncratic for man to want to have everything easily, instantly. The awful reality is, business is zilch for scores of home based entrepreneurs.

One common problem encountered by an at-home businessman is his misimpression that his business will take off by itself. A home based business, just as any traditional enterprise still need some brains and brawn to operate. It will be a jumbo challenge for an inexperienced entrepreneur to plunge into an undertaking without serious planning and thorough probing. There are mulitifarious business choices in the marketplace and if you are not keenly discerning, you’ll be easily suckered into some shady deals. It is very important that you allocate considerable time and effort into your project, especially during the conception stage.

An online home business needs relatively a modest budget to run, the hunk of which goes to the purchase of a computer with Internet capabilities. Some people indiscriminately get carried away by excitement and incur wanton expenses on nonessentials which could be avoided if a strict research is done. Configure a spending plan and stick to it. Emphatically refuse to be sweet-talked by spurious sales letters that will waylay you to buy on impulse. The availability of pertinent resources online that render information and curative assistance is a boon to the newbie.

A personality disposition that a home based entrepreneur must try to cultivate is flexibility. You must not fear technological and theoretical advancement; the internet will continually and organically grow – you must expand your parameters and keep up with the pace of innovation. Another important trait to develop is persistence – the ability to not easily succumb to issues and battles that accost all entrepreneurial pursuits, regardless of nature or origin.

Profit is the be-all and end-all of business – it is doubtlessly attainable. You can solicit advice from business mentors or gurus (reliable ones exist) but the ball and chain of progress hangs around your neck.

JT Keys, a steadfast home business stalwart and president of BusinessMentor.ws, has been building turnkey ecommerce websites and marketing in the Internet for the last 9 years. His effective and dynamic marketing strategy has evoked kudos from his satisfied clientele noting the outstanding assistance he provides the buyers and users of his products and services. And currently, he has devised strategic and systematic techniques to propel Cruise to Cash, an online travel marketing innovation, into marketplace dominance which his partners will definitely have liberal access to.

Free Home Based Business Tips

Most traditional businesses can cost thousands to start. So if you want inexpensive or free one then try using a Web based business.

There are several free tools available to help you create a high content design with a specific focus that can be a great marketing asset. If you don’t want to have to invest in a product then affiliate selling may be the best option for you.

Once you have your web site complete and have high volumes of traffic using your key words and SEOs then you are ready to find a merchant that will affiliate with you. The affiliate promotes a merchants site with a link on his or her own web page.

The merchants products and services are promoted through the link. When a customer clicks on a link and makes a purchase the merchant gives the affiliate a commission. This is because that visitor found the link from the affiliate.

The merchant and the affiliate will agree prior to the link being posted on what the actual commission will be for a particular sale. The affiliate needs to make sure that the product and services he or she is promoting have to do with each other.

You want to have a targeted audience and be able to promote these products and services on the affiliate site. If an affiliate has several types of businesses to promote they need to have their own sites independent of each other.

This will keep things organized and only get the visitors who will generate sales. Make sure that all the pages you have are themed and are easy to find on the popular search engines. You want to make sure that you are attracting potential buyers who are specifically looking for what your merchant or merchants have to offer.

Benefits Of Starting A Work At Home - Internet Based Business?

Starting a work at home business is the same as starting any other business. Good business practices will build customer confidence, truthful advertising improves profits, top quality products at a fair prices improve sales, and networking improves stability. However, there are some important differences, and some substantial benefits, to a work at home business.
LOW START-UP COST
A home based business can easily be started for less than $1000 in the first year. However, the amount of time and money invested will be in a direct correlation to the speed that you start earning wealth. Many small businesses that invest less than $1000 into start up, or invest poorly, take 3 – 5 years to start earning money.
Knowing the right way to run an online business, and avoiding the scams, is the most important ‘secret of success.’ A business that invests $5000 into a web based community, and articles aimed at helping their visitors, and then spends time and money creating a network across the web, will start earning a profit before someone who sets up a static site and ‘waits for something to happen.’
JACK OF ALL TRADES
A work at home business person must be a jack of all trades. They must have multiple skills in different areas. Most of these are easy to learn. It’s not enough to have a good product, or be able to provide a great service at a great price. An internet based business requires the following skills: graphic arts, web technology, basic web programming, marketing, writing, and bookkeeping.
This is not the type of business for someone who is afraid of technology. Make a list of the skills needed. Then check off which ones you can do, and which you need to outsource to others.
ENDLESS MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES
The Internet offers unlimited methods of marketing. It can take years to learn how to use them all effectively. Internet marketing falls into different categories.
Cooperative relationships, enable businesses to share resources, server loads, marketing, and even human resources.
Communities let Internet businesses create a fan base and keep their potential customers hooked. Workshops and education tools let businesses pre-sell customers, and educate people on the products, services, and how to use them properly.
Blogs and newspapers are a source of generating content, and attracting potential buyers.
Content management systems, blogs, and lenses build credibility.
TRACEABLE RESULTS
Unlike a brick-and-mortar businesses, the net has built in tracking tools. It is fairly easy for web based businesses to find out who is visiting, how long they stay, why they visit, and who buys. This lets the business analyse visitor preferences and improve their promotion efforts.
INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE
All internet businesses are international by default. This is good, and bad for internet businesses. It makes it important to remember that different societies operate in different methods. Working with companies such as Amazon and eBay will make it easier to ship products. The amount of non-English business is increasing dramatically in the past years. Soon, businesses will start needing to hire translators.
PROFESSIONAL BRANDING
Leave a website and the odds of ever finding it again are astronomical. That is why it is important to consider branding. Colors, fonts, text, layout, images will all brand a company. Lenses will also help people ‘find the business’s website again.’ Myspace, squido, bebo, gather, forums and other lenses include a built in tracking, my friends, and book marking tools.
These benefits increase the chances of turning a work at home venture into a viable, successful business.

Web Design For The Home Based Business

New technology released in 2007 has made it easy for people to create their own websites and FTP upload entire pages from the tools in MS Office Suite 2007-Business Edition.
However, now that it is easy to make a website without FrontPage or DreamWeaver, there are still some elements of web design that you need to remember before publishing your site.
Tools
Both MSWord and Publisher can be used to create websites. But, like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, the page will not appear the same on every browser. Anyone who wants to create their own webpage needs to download Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox.
IE is the most popular browser in the USA. But, Firefox (Modzilla) is most popular in the world.
All images should be chanced to .75 dpi. This is easy using Window’s Paint.
There are several FTP publishers. These are software programs that lift your web pages off the computer and publish them on the Internet. This is the best way to load a website. Avoid the ‘easy’ tools.
Here is a quick guideline to help work at home business owners build a website which can earn money.
1. It’s about the content. The only way to get listed today is to have good content, updated at least once every two weeks.
Many new business owners build a website on a few dozen keywords. They believe this brings more traffic. Unfortunately, it works backward. Too many keywords confuse search engines, reducing the websites Page Rank.
There are no keyword search engines anymore. Today’s search engines are more concerned with inbound links. Instead of writing articles that have a keyword repeated a few dozen times, write an insightful article that solves problems for your readers.
The search engines not only know how many people click onto a web page, but they know how long they stay. Websites that keep readers for more than 30 seconds will rank higher.
2. Don’t sell. The web visitor is not walking into a store. They do not arrive at a website thinking, “I want to buy something.” Instead, most of them want to be entertained, or educated. The best way to sell from a website is to solve problems. This includes things like posting the cost of a product or service, and even problems and solutions.
Avoid the long pages of testimonials. These are so ‘out of date.’ Instead, add a forum to the website and let the ‘real’ website visitors leave their comments.
3. Make effective use of the title and description tags. The only keywords most search engines care about are buried in the Heading Tags. Word will imbed Heading tags into a web page.
Forget the Meta keywords. They rarely play an important part in today’s Search Engine Optimization.
4. Don’t design in Flash or use any other ‘cool tools.’ Many people do not have the tools needed to view these. If you must add a video, then upload it to www.youtube.com and paste the code onto your page.
Search engines cannot see pictures. This means that a page full of pictures will only reduce a page rank, not increase it.
Flash creates major problems with search engine indexing. There is no way for the search engines to extract content from the website as it is all contained with in the swf file.
5 .Instill a sense of well. One of the first things most web visitors will look for is proof that the business cares about them. They want something before they are sold. It is also important to have business contact information pricing, privacy information, shipping, problem solving FAQ, and even a personal blog from the ‘owner.’
These things will improve the success of any web based business, or work at home web site.

Free Home Based Business

Most traditional businesses can cost thousands to start. So if you want inexpensive and/or free then try using a Web based business. There are several free tools available to help you create a high content design with a specific focus that can be a great marketing asset. If you don’t want to have to invest in a product then affiliate selling may be the best option for you. Once you have your web site complete and have high volumes of traffic using you key words and SEOs then you are ready to find a merchant that will affiliate with you. The affiliate promotes a merchants site with a link on his or her own web page. The merchant’s products and services are promoted through the link. When a customer clicks on a link and makes a purchase the merchant gives the affiliate a commission. This is because that visitor found the link from the affiliate.

The merchant and the affiliate will agree prior to the link being posted what the actual commission will be for a particular sale. The affiliate needs to make sure that the product and services he or she is promoting have to do with each other. You want to have a targeted audience and be able to promote these products and services on the affiliate site. If an affiliate has several types of businesses to promote they need to have their own sites independent on each other. This will keep things organized and only get the visitors who will generate sales. Make sure that all the pages you have are themed and easy to find on the popular search engines. You want to make sure that you are attracting potential buyers who are specifically looking for what your merchant or merchants’ offer.

Once you have figured out if a program offer is relevant to what your site contains choose a web site with high ranks on keyword searches. The higher the ranking on a specific search engine the higher the traffic that will be generated. This will also mean that this is a popular program, which is what you are looking for. You have found that site that will help you build a good affiliate relationship. Now it is time to contact your affiliate manager.

They will feel comfortable and in turn promote and advocate your sites and business to others. The best way to generate cash flow is to sell other peoples product, within an affiliate program.

Many workers endeavoring to build success through their home-based businesses do not know precisely where to turn in order to find the best Internet marketing support.  There is no question that Internet marketing will boost their business efforts, and they may even want to take advantage of this technological boost, but what is the best way to find support and assistance?

Some home-based business owners will try to do their own research and go from there.  Others will draw on their past experiences in other forms of business and try to model that to their new endeavor.

However, there can be little doubt that the most effective method for achieving consistent and long-term success with a home based business is to receive marketing support directly from an experienced coach or mentor.

Finding A Supportive Mentor or Coach

While there are distinct benefits to consulting with a good Internet marketing coach, it is a must to find an effective professional who can help a serious business person to make the most of the web technologies available.  An unresponsive, poorly-qualified, or otherwise ineffective coach is a waste of money, and can drag even the best business down.

They are also creative enough to custom fit their abilities to blend with the business efforts of others.  When a coach can offer support with these credentials, the correct pieces are in place for success.

Eenterprise: Superior Customer Service Provided By Web-based Software

“The ability to deliver exceptional customer service is the key differentiator between small- and medium-sized enterprises and large companies,” says Michael Emaus, CEO of eEnterprise (www.eEnterprise.com), a division of NetSuite global reseller Skyytek Worldwide. “Yet as those businesses grow, they often find it difficult to maintain the internal communication necessary to successfully serve their customer bases. When the capability for effective customer service management erodes, so does the profitability of the enterprise.”
According to Emaus, growing companies can maintain their customer service advantage by implementing an integrated solution like NetSuite, the world’s leading on-demand, Web-based business management software. “NetSuite integrates back-office operations with front-office activities, while providing employees with varying levels of access necessary for their job functions,” he says. “The information is made available on customer ‘dashboards’ that can reveal customizable information, such as key performance indicators and report snapshots, which allow managers to gauge the health of any given customer relationship.”
Best of all, NetSuite can track all points of contact between a company’s sales force and its customers. “This snapshot enables anyone to quickly review the events, tasks, and calls that have taken place and that are scheduled to close a deal,” says Emaus. “And, when a sale requires a team effort, the activities of each team member are available to more efficiently and effectively make the sale.”
Further, because NetSuite integrates customer transactions native to a company’s CRM product, customer service representatives are aided by historic transaction and upsell opportunities. “This functionality encourages the opportunity to support and grow sales through enhanced customer service capabilities,” notes Emaus.
While it’s inevitable that customer complaints will arise, with an integrated CRM system, those complaints won’t fall through the cracks. “NetSuite has a closed-loop process that ensures that problems will be effectively tracked and resolved,” says Emaus. “This is light years ahead of manual tracking, and moreover, NetSuite even allows customers to follow the resolution process through a self-service portal.”
For many companies, customer service begins with the prospecting phase of sales. NetSuite recognizes this, and has integrated several functions to more quickly turn website visitors into customers. By giving businesses the capability to customize their website’s search function and to receive reports on frequent searches and results returned, company owners can keep their fingers on the pulse of their customers and potential customers.
Moreover, with companies increasingly relying on paid search keyword campaigns to market their products and services, it’s important for businesses to know which keyword campaigns are generating both leads and revenue. “NetSuite recognizes that more traffic doesn’t necessarily mean more sales, and that tracking the effectiveness of keyword campaigns is crucial to the bottom line,” says Emaus.
Emaus concludes, “Regardless of the size of an enterprise, fully integrated customer service management is critical to both growth and profitability. NetSuite ensures that CRM is both streamlined and effective.”
