Even in the early days of the Internet in the mid to late 1990s, before the real dawn of the Home Based Business, if you wanted to own a business it had to be a bricks-and-mortar business. Remember the Dot Com explosion, which eventually led to wildly speculative investments and the eventual bursting of the Dot Com bubble?
Well, even those Dot Coms had "real" offices in a physical location somewhere. They had to pay overheads for those places like rent, utilities, and salaries to employees. And to this very day, even though they may very much be an Internet Based Business, the Dot Com giants like Yahoo, Google, and Amazon still do the very same thing.
But, they helped to usher in a whole new business model for the 21st century--the Internet Home Based Business. The trend towards people owning their own home-based businesses actually began in the early 1990s, before Windows 95, before the Internet was huge. But these home-based businesses involved things like assembling and selling computers from home--so you were still doing what you would do if you had an office, except you didn't need an office (other than a room or the basement in your home). You were simply helping some other company save money on overheads and on salaries paid out for no production.
It could be said that this home-based business model was merely an extension of semi-home-based businesses of previous years, such as selling life insurance. Although this may have been far better than the rat race, it was still rather risky, and could be quite expensive.
The Internet Home Based Business model is something else entirely, and has huge advantages over a 'Bricks and Mortar' Home business:-
* One way of doing this is by Affiliate marketing, and if operated correctly, marketing costs can be kept to a minimum. No inventory is needed, and computer parts etc can simply be delivered directly to the customer, rather than your own home.
* You don't need to sell from a physical store front, so you can be selling the products twenty-four-seven. You can make money in your sleep and while you're on vacation as people from all over the world shop online at all hours of the day and night--earning you pay every time they buy a product through you from your Internet Home Based Business.
* With some business models even a telephone is unnecessary, although with some it can be essential. Much of the communication needed for the Internet Home based Business can usually be done by auto-responders, email or instant messaging services. (IM).
Now, what DO you need to make an Internet Home Based Business a success?
* A dynamic and attractive website.
* Simple, secure payment methods--these will essentially be credit/debit cards or PayPal.
* Support & Training is paramount to get your business off the ground and make and keep it successful.
* Customer service is paramount also and must be excellent.
Possibly the best thing about the Internet Home Based Business in this day and age however, is that you are able to take tried and tested ideas and make them work. It is not necessary to take massive risks such as those taken by the Dot Coms, and which sank so many. Anyone who truly has the WILL to succeed CAN be successful in working from home, if they are simply willing to put in the effort. So - What are YOU waiting for?
