Starting An Online Business? How To Determine Market Demand
If you are learning about how to start an online business then one thing you will need to understand is market research. How to understand demand and what people want. If you do not have a good understanding of demand you could end up wasting your time either marketing a product that know one wants or just as bad, trying to compete in an over-crowded and highly competitive market. This video will give you some ideas about determining product demand for your home based internet business. Keep in mind the ideas I offer here are very high level and for beginners. There are much more targeted methods for determining demand using different software tools and processes. We’ll get into that further down the road…
7 Great Reasons To Work From Home
For the past 11 years I have been able to work from home in some capacity. That’s not to say that I don’t leave my home to work but my main office is my home office and I’d like to keep it that way. There is a steady trend towards working from home and it’s evident by the sheer numbers. In 1997 the U. S. Census Bureau estimated approximately 11 million people worked from home in some capacity. Let’s fast forward to the 2004 U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistic Work At Home Summary. It reports that some 20.7 million people did some work at home as part of their job or own home based business. Here are my top 7 reasons for working at home:
1. You are more productive and get more done (if you have the discipline).
2. You don’t waste time commuting to the office.
3. You spend less time at the “water cooler” and office socializing.
4. It’s the “green” thing to do. You consume less fuel and energy needed for commuting thus less carbon emissions.
5. Flexibility. You get to work your own hours and from your location of choice.
6. Work / Life Balance….this is an important one. We all need time to take care of our own business and family. Working from home lets you take care of a lot of those little things that can slip if your office day is 12 hours long including commute time.
7. And most of all Happiness….I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that people that work from home are generally 100 times happier about their work situation than those people that absolutely cannot work from home 
Now, don’t get me wrong. There is significant value in going into the office. Out of site, out of mind is a real thing and in most situations face to face communications is the most effective way to get your point across. But you’ve got to balance this out across the benefits of having the option to work from home. Ideally you have a situation where your employer offers you the flexibility to work from home 1-2 days a week while also putting in some office time to make sure they don’t forget who you are. That’s all for now…I’m gonna grab my surfboard and head out to “lunch.”
