If you are looking for a simple work from home opportunity, then SFI may just have what you are looking for. Most people starting a home business online do not have huge business skills, and so SFI's uncomplicated business system will suit pretty much all of us. SFI has been around since 1998, and has helped thousands of people to start and grow their own work from home business simply and effeciently. It is very easy to get started and is free to join. Once you go inside the affiliate center on their website, you receive free training and get access to a huge range of free marketing aids, including more than 20 free website gateways. Also, you can get a lot of help from SFI's Discussion Board, their forum. SFI's great success to date is mainly as a result of the unique makeup of its affiliate program. This program is a combination of the best parts of traditional direct sales and network marketing, combined with the technological advantages of the Internet. SFI has three ranks, the affiliate, the Executive Affiliate (EA), and the Team Leader (EA with 5 personally sponsored EAs). Once you achieve 10 SVP (sales volume points) in a given month, you automatically become an EA for that month. You can reach this 10 SVP by promoting SFI's various range of products to the general public or by making purchases for yourself. What makes it such a simple work from home opportunity is that as your team grows, so does your monthly income. Obviously all I have given you here is a very basic overwiew of what SFI offers to average people, to help them grow a large business online.

Today I want to cover a unique home based business opportunity that arises when you sell big ticket items. Imagine for a moment that you had a goal of earning $80,000 from your home based business this year. ( I know some of you are saying "I could never do that", and more of you are saying "I would hate to have to go back to that point"!) Anyway, one way to do this is by selling big ticket items, earning $1,000 a sale or more. Now, this method may require more effort to make each sale, but the rewards are much greater. Instead of needing 4,000 sales at $20 each, you would only need to make 80 sales at $1,000 to reach your goal of $80,000. These are generally products that are not going to be sold by inexperienced Internet marketers, although they could be an excellent way to get started because of how much money you can make on each sale. As a general rule it is thought that people need to see a product as many as 12 times before they are actually ready to buy it. This number could even be more here because of the amount of money involved in these type of purchases. This being the case, you should understand that you have a unique home based business opportunity selling big-ticket items, but you cannot refer traffic directly to your selling page. A much better method is to send traffic to your own custom designed landing page and then capture their contact information for future follow up. Follow up is the essential part to making this type of a home business opportunity work. You cannot count on a person bookmarking your website and coming back on their own. You will have to take a much more proactive approach and be contacting them on a regular basis, keeping your name and your product in front of them. You do this by using an auto responder to e-mail to your prospects. Auto responders allow you to quickly and easily create a form that captures the person's name, e-mail address, and any other information that you want. Once they have filled out their information they are sent to the autoresponder and a series of prewritten messages kick in. Many products that you sell as a big-ticket item have prewritten messages already in place for you. All you have to do is copy those into your autoresponder, personalize them, and you are ready to go. What makes this so unique is that this is a very specialized niche to be involved in. You eliminate the majority of your competition when you sell big-ticket items, because most Internet marketers are not selling anything. If you utilize this approach of a landing page, and autoresponder for follow-up, you dramatically increase the odds of making more sales and making your unique home based business opportunity profitable in the long run. Whether you sell big or small ticket items, get familiar with them, and focus on becoming an expert in that one area. Alan Thomas Labels: home based business, unique home based business opportunity

When choosing what products or services you may want to sell on the Internet, you first need to understand what people are actually searching for. Here what we will do is analyze what are the best home Internet business ideas based on your understanding of your customer's needs. Remember, people make a decision to buy based primarily on emotion, not logic. That emotion can be fueled by three things. 1. A need 2. An interest 3. A desire You need to have a least one of these three things before anybody will ever purchase your products. You have a great chance of making a sale if your customer experiences two out of these three emotions when they are visiting your sales page. Therefore you need to understand that selling products that help solve people’s problems is probably the most important thing you can do. The best home Internet business idea is to sell information products that solve problems. For example, if someone is constantly $200 short of paying their bills every month, they have a real need to make $200 a month more. Your job as an Internet business is to fill this need by providing a business opportunity that would interest them enough to join you. Your sales copy on your website or sales page for your business opportunity will help bring them to the stage that they desire to join you. Another example would be where someone would like to do email marketing, but they do not know how to set up an auto responder. By joining an affiliate program for an auto responder such as Get Response, and then creating a webpage that describes how to program an auto responder to do email marketing, you are filling their needs. For people who do not currently have an autoresponder, they will be much more likely to join you because you have addressed their need and helped solve the problem of how to program it. Let's take another example in a niche such as health. Let's say that someone has a problem of sweating. You find an information product on Clickbank.com that describes how to stop sweating. You create a pre-sale webpage that talks about their sweating problem, and then contains a link to your Clickbank sales page. Every time someone buys the stop sweating product you earn a commission for making the sale. In this case this was a great home Internet business idea because you solved the person's problem, provided a product for it, and earned a commission which allowed you to get paid. In summary, the best home Internet business ideas are ones that help solve people's problems. You can sell existing products as an affiliate, or create products of your own and make even more money doing it. Remember, people will pay for what you offer, provided they see real value in it.

I was talking to a colleague last week and the conversation got round to what books we liked, and which ones have had an influence in our lives. I was thinking a bit more about that conversation today, and I would say that the most influential book I have read was " Think and Grow Rich", a classic in the area of motivation and self development. The book was made available to me through Success University, the worlds number one online educational website Think and Grow Rich was written by Napoleon Hill, and first published in the 1930's. It was the result of years of work by Mr. Hill, who had interviewed the wealthy industrialist Andrew Carnegie as a young man, and took on Mr. Carnegie's challenge to study the lives of various successful people, and find out what common factors made them successful. To be honest, when I first read the book, I found it hard going, and I put it aside for about six months. However, when I had a second go, it really grabbed me, and I have been applying many of his ideas since. A key idea it contains is the development of a mastermind group. The aim here is to gather several people around you who can help you achieve your goals. The group acts as a co-operative, and very often spectacular results can be achieved by pooling ideas and working together. It is just one of the many excellent resources available through Success University . To claim a free copy of Think and Grow Rich in ebook form, go to Educational Classics. If you have any other books you would reccommend, leave a comment and let everyone know. Alan Thomas Labels: Andrew Carnegie, self development, Success University, think and grow rich

Hi everyone, I've just been watching some Tennis at Wimbledon, and seeing everyone there enjoying themselves in the sunshine would put anyone in a good mood. I want to talk briefly about a new website, Diamond TrainingIt is being launched by a group of people invloved with Success University, which recently became the #1 most popular online personal development company in the world. This group is based in Ireland, and the mission statement for Diamond Training is "To be the European leaders in online personal development training". However, the opportunities discussed are available to anyone worldwide. Diamond Training provides an interactive training session with Rachel Doherty. Her training background is impressive, with some of Europe's and Ireland's best known names on her CV. She is actively sought after by Colleges and Companies internationally. These training sessions are designed to fit in with the superb online training material provided by Success University, which enable those attending to continue to expand their knowledge and capabilities from the comfort of their own home. From personal experience I can vouch for the great value offered by both Diamond Training and Success University. You actually get far more than you pay for! Their next offline training Session is planned for Wednesday July 23 in Dublin, Ireland. Book your tickets now to avoid disappointment, and I will see you there. It is always nice to meet online friends in person. I'm looking forward to watching a bit more tennis over the next few days, weather permitting. Here's to a productive month of July. Alan Thomas
