The Elite Home Business Opportunity!

For over 30 years, I worked for someone else. Like many of you, I became frustrated with the lack of control over my professional and, especially, my personal life. Almost 4 years ago, I made the decision to take control of my life and started my home business. In the beginning, I had a few "bumps and bruises" as I sorted through all the various business opportunities. Then I was blessed to find a couple of home businesses, one which is Passport to Wealth, that changed my life. Today, I control when I work and how long all from the comforts of my home. Workathomegem.com was created to provide information, guidance, and a HOME for anyone seeking to begin a home business. We intend to provide the most relevant trends in the industry and will provide monthly newsletters on the best opportunities available. Over time,this site will describe some of the home businesses I operate, like Passport to Wealth. But my primary intention is to provide quality information for those seeking to begin, or expand, their home business and find the freedom (both financial and personal) I have been blessed to find (yes, that is me in the picture). You have my commitment that we will consistently research the industry, and along with your feedback and input, keep this site current so that anyone interested in the home business industry will know they have a place to call home! Any time you wish to contact me, please do so at info@workathomegem.com.

Passport to Wealth

Passport to Wealth offers a home business opportunity by marketing their products through the direct selling industry. Passport to Wealth has two marketing models available. Each home business owner has a complete product line of internet marketing software titles to sell either individually or as a package. Since you have the rights to these software titles, you can set the price for each individual title. The second internet marketing opportunity is a “2-up” compensation plan. With this home business opportunity, each member pays $997 initially to join. With this investment, you receive all the software titles mentioned above and/or the ability to sign up others into the Passport to Wealth program. For the first 2 members signed up (at $997), you pass these sales up to your director. Once the first 2 sales are made, then you become a director and all future sales (at $997 each) are paid to you plus each of these member’s first two sales come to you and their first two sales and their first two sales, and so on with no end to the income you can make with this home business opportunity.

The best news with Passport to Wealth; there is no selling, no explaining, no follow up, no phone calls or no closing at all! A pre-made movie does all this for your home business. Included in your initial investment you will receive free internet marketing solutions, no cost prospecting (a $1,500 value alone), and SEO training classes to assist you with internet marketing efforts to help land you on the first pages of Google, Yahoo, and MSN for a solid stream of traffic to your home business. If they isn’t enough, as a Passport to Wealth member you will get access to the Passport to Wealth marketing back office. This has all the information you need to advertise properly. No marketing solution is placed into the Passport to Wealth private back office without the top mentors test driving the internet marketing sources.

Listen to what one of many Passport to Wealth members has to say: “Within a month of joining Passport to Wealth, I quite my job and come home to do what I love best; working with kids! Being free to do what I want, when I want has made me happy, my family happy, and my community happy. I make more money with my home business in just a few hours a day then working 50 hours a week for someone else. Live your life, don’t let life live you!” - JC

Web Site Traffic

Driving web site traffic to your home business web site is obviously the most important aspect for sales to occur. As in any business, to make sales you need customers to walk in your door. An online home business is no different, they are just virtual customers. Below are a few areas to keep in mind to increase your web site traffic.

The first, and most important, criteria for any on line home business is to create original content. Don’t write content which you think the computer wants. Computers can’t buy anything. Humans buy, so write content in your own words which everyone can understand. If you do this your keywords, which are critical for web site traffic, will come naturally and be more effective.

Next, promoting your home business is a must for increasing web site traffic. There are three major areas which must be addressed for your web site traffic to increase; search engines; advertising; and social marketing.

Everyone knows that Google is the most popular search engine with MSN and Yahoo behind Google. You can submit your home business web site to each of these search engines for free so don’t contract with some “expert” who wants to charge you. There are many other free search engines which you should submit to as well. One site to check out is Submit Express as an example.

Advertising is the same for your home business as it is for any “brick and mortar” business. Just like these traditional businesses, some advertising can be bought and some is free. Since free is good, sites like US Free Ads offer the ability to promote your home business which will increase your web site traffic. There are many other free sites so if you do a bit of searching you will find these opportunities easily. Obviously, you can pay for advertising through pay-per-clicks (PPC) with all the popular search engines. The good news with PPC, is that you only pay for advertising when someone clicks on your site from one of your submitted keywords. The only warning here is to be careful of your keywords submitted which will optimize your hits. If you have keywords that are not specific you will be paying for hits from visitors who are not true customers ready to buy.

Finally, the most effective method to increase web site traffic for your home business may be the increase of social marketing. Everyone knows about Facebook or Digg and its growth but there are many other similar social sites around. Joining and participating in these sites, frequently, will increase web site traffic dramatically. Others to consider are Furl, Twitter, Propeller, or Mixx. There are many others as well which again are free to join so check them out!

Paradox Principle

In running a home business, there is a formula which has assisted me in developing a very successful home business. The formula is called the Paradox Principle. The Paradox Principle has four areas which must be honestly addressed in the development of any home business opportunity. Those four steps are Awareness; Vision; Strategy; and, Execution. Below find a brief overview about each step of the Paradox Principle:

1. Paradox Principle - Awareness: The main question to ask yourself is “Do I get it”? In other words, do I have a complete understanding of what is involved in operating your home business opportunity? Do you fully understand the product you are promoting, the industry of your product, the benefits your product addresses for your customer, how your customer’s perceive your product? Be aware you will never totally “get it” so always keep learning.

2. Paradox Principle - Vision: Here your question should be “Can I see it”? Do you have a vision of what the end, or outcome, looks like for home business opportunity?

3. Paradox Principle - Strategy: “Do I know what to do” is the question to ask in this home business step. Here a few of the questions you need to answer are, how do I market my product, what is my selling price, and do I need outside assistance to support my home business? Make sure you have a written business plan for each home business opportunity.  Don’t leave it to your memory to recall all the details.

4. Paradox Principle - Execution: “Will I get it done”? Having completion dates for each of your strategies is essential. Too often strategies are written but no date of when it will be executed is stated. By not putting a completion date on a task, you will find that many will never get completed because there is no “urgency” placed on it and your home business will suffer.

Obviously, there are many more questions within the Paradox Principle that must be addressed but that will be saved for another article. The main point now is to know if these four steps are followed your chances of having a successful home business will increase dramatically.
