I recently had a conversation with an individual who received a ‘pink slip’ from the company they had been employed at for more than a decade. I came to know this individual through a mutual friend who knew I worked from home and wanted to know how they could take their skills and past experience and create their own home-based business.
If you are in this same position or know someone who is, perhaps this brief outline will help you get started.
- Assess your skills, even if you don’t have a degree you may still have skills that are marketable
- Do you have a business idea? Have you thoroughly researched it to see if it is in demand and profitable?
- Make sure the domain name is available.
- Pick a business name that uses a keyword that your target market is currently using.
- Make sure the business name is not registered by someone else, do so by checking your Secretary of State.
- Do not use a free hosting account, its not professional. May I suggest MomWebs.com for your hosting and/or ecommerce solution?
Creating and developing an online presence doesn’t happen over night so don’t buy into the “I made millions in 24 hours” junk. Take your time, do your research and enjoy every step along the way. If you live in Tuscarawas County Ohio and would like some direction, please contact me today. I’d love to help you take your business dream and make it a reality!
