Three Keys to Starting an On-line Business

As the Internet becomes more a part of our everyday life, online businesses are also becoming more common. And an online business is an ideal way for mothers at home to make an income. I've been working at this for a few years now, and I've got a couple of tips to help you start out on this exciting lifestyle move.

1.	The first thing I have learned about making an income online is that it won't happen overnight. It takes time and effort to build an income.
2.	I also learned that the best way to start is to have the right attitude. An attitude of wanting to serve and give to others goes a long way. If your main goal is to try and get money, or to sell, it is sure to backfire. People will sense it and they will be put off. So work on offering a service and having a servant heart. Look at what you do well. Look at how you can help others with your talents. Decide to give away information to people. That's the way to begin, and then you can move on from there.
3.	Once you have decided to make a long-term commitment and you have a good attitude to the people you want to serve, you need to be trained. Even if you know a heap about your subject and you are an expert in your field. But you need training in how to make that work as a business on the Internet. Very few of us are natural entrepreneurs, and we need to be taught how to build a business.

For this you might like to look at Donna Partow's eight-week Home Business Apprenticeship Program. Donna is the author of many books including her latest book, Making Money From Home, published by Focus on the Family/Tyndale House Publishing. Donna has devised an on-line training program geared to helping people make a success of their home business. Find out more here:

A lot of people choose to earn money online as an affiliate marketer. An affiliate marketer reviews, recommends and writes about products for sale on the Internet. When people click on a link in the article and buy a product after reading the review, recommendation or blog, the affiliate marketer receives a small commission. This is the way I started; I focused on book reviews and articles where I often talked about my favourite books.

If you are interested in affiliate marketing in particular then I invite you to apply to share with me on the products that I have written. I pay a generous commission, so it really makes it worth your while to invest in my business with me. Find out more:

Honourable Income Earning

Learning how to earn an honourable income online takes time. There's a whole new vocabulary and set of rules. But it's worth investing in it.
When I started out, I invested $100 of my own money as seed money. At first I earned just a few dollars here and there. I invested that money straight back into the business, paying for training, software and online services.
Gradually, I earned more income and my business started to grow and my confidence increased. My goals stayed the same - first and foremost to serve and encourage mothers at home and secondly to earn an income through this service.
