Six Reasons You Should Start an Internet Home Based Business
Written by Ronald Acker
In the last two years the national economy has taken a tremendous shock. Not only have we experienced a large increase in unemployment, but we have had governmental spending at unprecedented levels. For those of us over forty, our conce
for our retirement is now extending into the solvency of Social Security.
It now is highly likely that this unfunded government obligation will be being paid to us with inflated dollars. Being such a large liability, it might be expected that any COLA (cost of living adjustment) would not be keeping up with the actual inflationary increases. This would have the obvious effect of reducing the value of our Social Security retirement.
During the tenure of President Carter, the government removed energy and housing from the COLA formula. These have been the two largest inflationary items in our economy. The present Social Security payments are substantially lower than they would have otherwise been. This type of future government manipulation can be expected.
The extent of the present unemployment has had the psychological effect of generating an incredible amount of uncertainty in those who have been lucky enough to maintain their employment.
It would appear from all of the above stated reasons it would be a very prudent decision to add another stream of income to the family budget. And as convincing as this information is we many times to not take into account the advantages of having an in home business.
Aside from removing our insecurity concerning our future income capabilities, having an in home business has a large number of rewards.
With the present revenue of 156 billion dollars being generated on the internet, and the unlimited earning potential, an in home business can be started for the cost of a computer and some filing cabinets.
Normally you can start an in home business on a part time basis and grow it into a full time income.
1. Once full time income is developed, and you begin working at home on a full time basis, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration indicates the average American spends 348 hours each year commuting. This is like adding 15% to your available work time and a large savings in auto expense and daily lunches.
2. You are no longer dependent upon an employer or governmental activity in regard to your and your family’s future.
3. You are now a master of your own fate. You no longer need to worry about company politics, compensation, or unfair termination.
4. Initially you will not have a tremendous amount of tax benefits, but as your business grows, these benefits can be quite an advantage. We would recommend you speak to a tax attorney for the latest rules and regulations. Being able to pay your children in pre tax dollars is a great way to generate a college fund.
5. Working on the internet is quite different than a brick and mortar business where you had customer sales contact, customer service and problems with accounts receivable. Most of the procedures on the internet are highly automated. Once your procedures and promotional actions have been put in place, you should have substantially more free time for friends and family.
6. You certainly will have no need to find any other creative outlet. The infinite number of methods, products, and promotions is quite motivating as well as stimulating.
After making the decision to start an internet business, the next most important judgment in which you will be faced is the area in which you will become involved. It should be an area in which you have an interest and in which large amounts of money is being spent.
We would like to suggest the healthcare industry. Large portions of the national and your family budget are being used in the healthcare area. Presently 70% of all searches on the internet are healthcare related. In addition, there is no other area of the economy that is growing as quickly. People will forgo many of their other necessities of life to adequately care for their health.
