Work At Home Business
opportunities, is probably one of most sought out search terms on the internet these days. And there are a few excellent work at home opportunities online such as SBI .
It seems that everybody, yourself included is looking for a better way, nirvana at the end of the mouse click that will solve all your money management financial problems.
But you need an internet business mindset in order to make it all come together and happen, coupled with sound decision making before you take the work at home business plunge.
Beware of the Scams Both On-line and Off-line…
The problem is, there are far too many outright scams, that are doing nothing other than lying with their outrageous claims and broken promises on the world-wide-web regarding internet income, than exist legitimate work at home business opportunities.
I should know-as I’ve been scammed way too many times with work at home businesses to keep count. For your information, I was scammed 5 years ago totaling approximately $10,0000 US dollars. Yes you read correct!
But you know what? I didn’t give up and quit, I kept researching, joining work at home business forum message boards, asking the tough questions, listening and reading to what other work at home forum members were saying about legitimate home income or internet income “opportunities” and the TOTAL COSTS actually involved.
The more I listened, and read as to what these work from home forum members were saying, and the more I kept reading-the more I didn’t like at all what these forum members were saying about the many scams online. It appears the vast majority of these home-based jobs were selling “ Pyramid Ponzi Schemes, where the product you are actually selling is the people you are recruiting... The people are the product! Unless you are selling Amway products, which you have to drop ship or other products such as E-bay-the product in the vast majority of these opportunities is the recruitment process.
Work At Home Rules To Follow….
Contrary to public opinion or a lack there of, the fact is-there is no free lunch-contrary to what many scam home based income and work at home business websites claim to be... Any work at home opportunity costs something, your time and commitment.
Many internet income websites over-hype with their business opportunity and free marketing tips as well, but when everything is finally stripped away-all you have left for the majority of these home based businesses is just the opportunity of recruiting-members-that is your opportunity, which I might add is illegal and is nothing more than a ponzi pyramid sham scheme..
Rule # 1- when you are researching any online work at home business opportunity to join, you need to know what the product and or service offering is and believe in its potential. The product and/or service MUST provide VALUE .
After all-if you don’t very well believe or have hope and faith in the product you are pitching to potential friends and family/others that you will be selling, how in the world do you ever expect to sell the product if you would not buy the product yourself? You must believe in the product if you want to know how to succeed in selling the product to your would be customers and eventual partners.
Rule# 2-When you strip away the membership and sponsorship recruiting (which many of these work at home businesses are just get rich rich-schemes), the " ”product" has got to stand alone as a legitimate product with value. If it does not-you need to run away as fast as you can from this home internet business opportunity.
Without a product/service with VALUE - all you really are is selling in the end is a “recruiting system”, which as I stated earlier is an illegal ponzi scheme. I should know as I got conned into the same system years ago. Due your due-diligence and research and ask the tough questions. The product must sell itself-period end of story….
You Need to Beware of Your Total Monthly Expenses...
Rule# 3 – You need to find out upfront, and in simple and plan business communication , what are all of your out of pocket and revolving monthly expenses associated in your work at home business. Are you drop-shipping physical products like vitamins and hair tonics? What are your drop-shipping charges?
What are your charge back fees/costs? What are your minimum charges in order to “play the work at home business "game”? What are your merchant account costs and fees. Are there any reoccurring monthly membership fees? How much are these fees?
If you’re going to be selling a direct product, then you will more than likely need a
merchant processing account
In order to accept online payments. Also keep in mind that up to 20-30% of you online payment customers may request and demand a refund for whatever reason, which means if your “quota” of say selling hair tonics per month is 15 units and figuring up to thirty (30%) will return their product to you, then you have to factor in:
Restocking of inventory costs that you will have to deal with, and having to charge back customer’s credit cards who decided that they either didn’t like you or the product! It’s the customers right to return everything and anything, the world in e-commerce and off line business will always cater to the customer, and the customer is always right according to the laws of the e-commerce business world.
Also you will have a revolving merchant accounts fee for accepting VISA/MasterCard/Discovery/other credit cards which is typically 1-2% of the item being sold.
So in this example: You sell 15 hair tonic potions for $29.99 a bottle, which is $449.85. Let’s say your monthly quota is 20 bottles which you only sold 15-$99.95 less. You have drop shipping charges up to $10.00 per order, you have a merchant access account which they charge up to $35-$99 a month, plus they charge you (the seller)1-3 percent of total goods sold. You will more than likely have a separate e-mail account which is between $50.00-$99.99 bucks per month so you total monthly costs are:
• Drop shipping costs=$10.00 • Merchant Credit Card Account $99.00 • Merchant credit card transaction fee: $13.50 • Merchant charge back fee 2-5% of returned goods $20.00 • Auto-responder e-mail account: $50.00 • Web site hosting charges: $50.00 • $50.00-$100.00 monthly for membership in business program • Marketing and advertising :$50-$100 • Telephone faxing orders/calling customers etc $50.00 • TOTAL MONTHLY COSTS: 467.50 ( used 75.00 for advertising in this example)
INCOME THIS MONTH: 449.85 but you had 5 return orders or charge backs, so your net income for this month is only: 299.90
You’re already in the hole 167.60 and you just started the program!!!
The vast majority of these scam operations require heavy recruitment of your market audience to make a dent in the online e-commerce world. It’s eat or be eaten...
There is a better way however, one that puts value into the people it works with, one that loves people and uses money instead of the vast of the online websites whose emphasis is on loving money and using people as a means to an end in helping you learn the proper way in building a business and how to make a website that works.
TEN Powerful reasons Why You Should Use SBI in Your Work at Home Business.
I partnered with SBI in June 2009-2.5 years ago and can personally attest to the power of SBI during this time. You can read more about SBI here. When my personal goal setting website went online in July 2009 I had a global internet ranking of 8,500,000 as per Alexa, pretty terrible with global ranking.
However, fast forward to today, January 16, 2012-my personal goal setting website is now ranked under 850,000 global traffic, and since May 2010 I have been earning consistently monthly income from my site, and I now have 169 pages built with my smart goals plan of building 200 quality content pages on my site by June 2012.
The best part-all of my traffic is is FREE organic and referral traffic, which is the best kind of traffic that is key word driven, with absolutely no advertising costs whatsover. This more than attests to the power of SBI! SBI equips you to fully develop all of your WAHM entrepreneurship goals.
Show Me the Facts….
If you are soon to be WAHM, or even if you're a dad, I recommend and suggest that you take a quick slideshow tour for yourself, and also look at the video tour .
The video tour explains what SBI is all about. If you are would be work at home mom (WAHM), I suggest you download the free WAHMIT! Masters course which you can access here, SBI WAHMIT Masters Course .
Incidentally, four WAHMs, three from the United States and one from the UK, wrote this masters course to help other WAHMs build their own successful online business. It's a practical orientation by WAHMs for WAHMs.
1 SBI Works Period - SBI has been in existence since 1997 and has stood the test of time in delivering powerful e-tools for all who would like to know how to make a website that is successful. ….And 62 percent of all SBI business owners are in the top 1-3 percent as ranked by Alexa.
The traffic test demonstrates and proves the overwhelming success of SBI. Look at the results of these success SBI websites! As a WAHM, you could be just like one of these successful website owners yourself.
I own SBI, so I can speak with 100% honesty and integrity, about the positive impact that SBI has had on my content writing business.
2 No HTML/Computer Programming Skills Required - I receive daily emails from people and would be work at home moms who are interested in starting their own web business, but are fearful about any computer programming required. I respond to all e-mail inquiries and inform everyone that absolutely NO HTML or programming is necessary. If you already know HTML, that is good if you want to customize your own website, but HTML is really not required.
SBI uses proprietary templates block builder which you will use in building your individual pages for your own website. Fear of HTML programming, in my humble opinion, is the biggest concern that people have, which I have already stated is not required in how to succeed with SBI. SBI provides two options; BB (block builder) or upload your own HTML, for those of you who are savvy HTML programmers. So there should be no more excuses why you can not do this as a successful work at home mom. Take a look at my website, my professional website was built by myself using block builder.
3 10 Day Action Guide and Video Guide - If you are like me, I need visual guidance. I need to see from point A to point B the steps that I need to take and implement and the required sequences that the steps are required to be performed. SBI provides both. I learn by doing, SBI provides this for you visual learners like myself.
Take a look at the 10 day video tour or the 10 day action guide which will from day one, hold your hand and walk you step by step in your eventual path to success in building your content rich website.
4 Key Word Tool- One of the major tools that every website owner and online marketer needs is a key word tool. The key word tool is the basic tool of how your website will be eventually found for a particular key word in your website’s theme niche. More than likely you typed in home business or how to make a website which are both key words for my website. SBI shows you how to use particular key words in indentifying the key words that you will use in how to make a website for yourself as a work at home mom.
5 SBI Content 2.0 - SBI Content 2.0 is the latest e-tool that SBI has added to its arsenal of e-building tools. Basically, 2.0 takes internet marketing to the next level, where you visitors and customers actually help to build pages for you on your website. People can comment on your work at home business website, upload photos, etc as an interactive approach in helping you to build your website which can go viral in a very short amount of time.
6) Excellent Forum- I have learned tremendously in these interactive forums by asking questions, and helping others with their particular questions in being successful as I have learned from other successful SBI owners, many of which are successful WAHMs themselves. SBI operates with the novel idea of help and be helped…, which is the only way to operate. Your success is SBI’s success. SBI wants you to succeed, and this interactive forum is a tremendous tool from evaluating your new website to any particular questions you may have; from website design, creating e-goods, or general questions about marketing can be found here and much more.
7) Exceptional Value - SBI is second to none. You will not find another company that provides all the e-tools and resources, online support and the results that SBI provides for $299.00 per year, or $29.99 per month, if you prefer the monthly payment option.
You can check here and compare for yourself, the costs of SBI compared to others if you were to purchase these e-tools separately. SBI hands down beats the competition not only from a cost point of view, but also in terms of its effectiveness, that being the number of successful SBI owners.
8) CTPM - The only way to build a successful SBI web business is the CTPM method. (content, traffic, presell, monetize) , in this order. SBI walks you through the entire process. Everything else out there is smoking mirrors, get this CTPM right, and watch your business reach no heights.
9) Ninety Days (90) Money back Guarantee - SBI puts it money where it’s mouth is, and is firm regarding its ninety day money back guarantee which you can see here on the SBI order page . Take a test drive for 90 days, and if you pour your passion into your web business like you should, you will want to keep SBI like I have. SBI is the web business that keeps on giving.
10) SBI Proof - Lastly, the proof is in the pudding. Take a look at proof of hundreds of successful website owners, many of which are very successful work at home moms. Whether you are a work at home mom , WAHM selling porcelain dolls from China, trying to expand and grow your rural real estate business, or promoting your affiliate program , SBI has the all the e-tools, resources, unlimited online support, and a vested interest in your ultimate success.
In closing, I do wish you all the success that SBI can bring to your web business, if you dare to have the hope and faith by believing in yourself, and in your God given abilities in reaching your home business smart goals in life.

Work at Home Business Testimonials With SBI
"It's been over a year now since I started my first website, which ranks within the top 1% of sites on the net and receives up to 1500 visitors per day. I now have a second site, and plans for a third before the summer of this year. I no longer work from home in the evenings and my income is constantly growing. Right now, it's double what I was making when I was standing behind a chair." ~ Michelle Schill style-hair-magazine.com SBI case-studies
"Having the opportunity to share Vieques and Puerto Rico with so many people around the world is a great satisfaction. As a bonus, I get to go on a tax-deductible vacation every year. I can visit my beautiful island, ride my jeep, take lots of photos, meet great new people, and write travel guides about places I love. I felt that money would just be the icing on the top. Of course, I did not realize how much icing my cake would have." ~ Luisa Cupeles viequestravelguide.com SBI case-studies
