How To Make Big Profits In Mail Order From Scratch



In these days, it's becoming increasingly difficult to make ends
meet with just one source of income.


Thus, more and more people are investigating the possibilities of
starting their own extra-income business.

Most of these part-time endeavours are started and operated from
the comfort and privacy of the home.

Most of these people are making the extra money they need.  Some
have wisely and carefully built these extra income efforts into
full time, very profitable businesses.  Others are just keeping
busy, having fun, and enjoying life as never before.

The important thing is that they are doing something other than
waiting for the government to give them a handout; they are
improving their lot in life, and you can do it, too!

The fields of mail order selling, multi level marketing, and in
home party sales have never been more popular.

If any of these kinds of extra income producing ideas appeal to
you, then you owe it to yourself to check them out.

But these areas aren't the only fields of endeavour you can start
and operate from home, with little or no investment, and learn as
you go.

If you type, you can start a home based typing service; if you
have a van or access to a trailer, you can start a delivery
service.

Simply collecting old newspapers from your neighbours can get you
started in the paper recycling business.

More than a few enterprising housewives have found success and
fortune by starting home and/or apartment cleaning services.

If you have a garden full of flowers, you can make good extra
money by supplying fresh cut flowers to restaurants and offices in
your area on a regular basis.

You might turn a ceramics hobby into a lucrative personalised
coffee mug business.

What I'm saying is that in reality, there's literally no end to
the ways you can start and operate a profitable extra income
business from your home.

The first thing you must do, however, is some basic market
research.

Find out for yourself, first hand, just how many people there are
in your area who are interested in your proposed product or
service, and would be willing to stand in line and pay for it.

This is known as defining your market, and pin-pointing your
customers.

If after checking around, talking about your idea with a whole lot
of people over a period of one to three months, you get the idea
that these people would be paying customers, your next effort
should be directed towards the "detailing" of your business plan.

The more precise and detailed your plan - covering all the bases
relating to how you'll do everything that needs to be done - the
easier it's going to be for you to attain success.

Such a plan should show your start-up investment needs, your
advertising plan, your production costs and procedures, your sales
programme and how your time will be allocated.

Too often, enthusiastic and ambitious entrepreneurs jump in on an
extra income project and suddenly find that the costs are beyond
their abilities, and the time requirements more than they can
meet; it pays to lay it all out on paper before you get involved,
and the clearer you can "see" everything before you start, the
better your chances of success.

Now, assuming you've got your market targeted, you know who your
customers are going to be and how you're going to reach them with
your product or service.

And you have all your costs as well as time requirements itemised.

The next step is to set your plan in motion and start making
money.

Here is the most important "secret" of all, relating to starting
and building a profitable home based business, so read carefully.

Regardless of what kind of business you start, you must have the
capital and the available time to sustain your business through
the first six months of operation.

Specifically, you must not count on receiving or spending any
money coming in from your business on yourself or for your bills
during those first six months.

All the income from your business during those first six months
should be reinvested in your business in order for it to grow and
reach your planned first year potential.

Once you've passed that first six months milestone, you can set up
a small monthly salary for yourself, and begin enjoying the fruits
of your labour.

But the first six months of operation of any business are
critical, so do not plan to use any of the money your business
generates for yourself during that period.

If you've got your business plan properly organised, and have
implemented the plan, you should at the end of your first year be
able to begin thinking about hiring other people to alleviate some
of your workload.

Remember this: Starting a successful business is not a means
towards either a job for yourself or a way to keep busy.

It should be regarded as the beginning of an enterprise that will
grow and prosper, with you as the top dog.

Eventually, you'll have other people doing all the work for you,
even running the entire operation, while you holiday in the
Bahamas or Hawaii and collect or receive regular income from your
initial efforts.
