Starting an Internet home based business is one of the least time consuming, most effort-free and least costly of businesses when it comes to complying with local business regulations such as licensing. This is primarily because the main concern with so many municipalities is zoning. The reason behind zoning regulations for business involves the amount of walk-in and drive-in traffic that a residential or semi-residential community would have to endure with the addition of a home business in the neighborhood.
An Internet home based business seldom meets resistance by local authorities, because it’s reasonable to assume and easy to prove that this type of business doesn’t typically have client traffic. An Internet home business, just as its name would indicate, is conducted on the Web. Clients are met and communicated with by Web, by phone and by fax. Nothing of this would disturb the neighbors. In fact, the major hurdle of having the business there is the problems experienced by the Internet home based business owner – the interruptions and noise of the neighbors. The opposite is seldom true. Internet home based business owners can be in business for years before their neighbors even know they have a home business.
Here, then, are the procedures typical of complying with local home business regulations. Of course, each municipality, and particularly each state, will have its own set of costs and compliance requirements, though most don’t vary much. In Phoenix AZ, for example, the application for a local business license is $20 and the annual fee is $50, prorated for a portion of a calendar year the first year. The application is straightforward and easy to complete. The city wants to know the business name, the industry, and whether it’s a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation. The Internet home based business owner would need to indicate the address, whether it’s a rental property or owned, whether the business records are stored there or elsewhere (and where that elsewhere is) and whether it’s a new business or one you just bought.
In most of South Carolina, in contrast, the additional question asked of an Internet home based business – or any home business – is how much, if any, client or vendor traffic is expected. They also inquire of the product or products sold, the type of business conducted in the course of the business day, and what type of business activities the proprietor or staff is engaged in during the course of that day. These questions are to determine if the business is going to be disruptive to the neighborhood. The business license fee starts at $20 (no application fee) and the first year is based on anticipated gross revenue. Subsequent years the owner is asked to divulge the gross profit of the prior year and from that the license fee is determined. Naturally the higher the gross profits the higher the business license fee.
Before you start your Internet home based business, the first stop to make – either in person or online – is the office of the city clerk.

Web to Walk-in and Vice Versa
http://incomewave.ws/3stepsecret.htm
Marketing work as a home business for your client’s firm may merge the firm’s Internet as well as brick and mortar location. One of the best ways of merging the two is with opt-in e-mail. Business consultants whose home business marketing work for that business is all Internet, or whose Internet and store location marketing are separate miss a great opportunity for driving traffic to both the site and the door. Combining the two with email not only leads to more sales more quickly but saves the client’s financial and time resources as well as your home business time and costs.
Marketing consultants who learn to conduct an opt-in email marketing campaign effectively find themselves with more work from more home Internet business from entrepreneurs than they could have otherwise. Nothing, as the saying goes, succeeds like success.
The primary marketing work of creating top of mind awareness for your client and their traffic to their site’s home page or their store is accomplished well with e-mail. If you’re marketing work for that client involves buying a billboard that billboard should include the Web address. Logging on would then include registration including email address and request for opt-in (newsletters, news, tips, discounts, free stuff, and so forth.) The online marketing campaign would include the same incentive for opt-in but would also encourage a trip to the brick and mortar location as well.
You’ve got to work at marketing both and marrying both so they work together to hone a profitable home business for yourself and a successful Internet and brick and mortar success for your client.
Ideas on how to do must include listing the hours and location of each of the physical stores of your client. You could, for example, create an online program of preferred customers who get discount coupons online to be redeemed at one of the local stores. Blockbuster has done a good job of this. Membership at Blockbuster.com, at $14.95 includes unlimited videos order on the Web and delivered by mail. It also includes one coupon each week for a free movie at the brick and mortar Blockbuster location of your choice.
Each of your home business client’s storefront locations should help with the online marketing work by bringing the customers back to the Internet. They could do this by asking for email addresses when consumers make a purchase at the store, and by printing the URL on shopping bags, receipts and business cards. It should be prominently displayed on delivery and service trucks as well.
E-mail marketing does the work of bringing your home business client’s long distance customers close. It also stimulates people to buy just because they are reminded that your client’s business exists. While they may not act right away, the more they get that email from that firm the more likely they’re going to buy something when their pertinent need or desire arises.
A major part of the work of your home business marketing consultancy is statistical – keeping track of what works for your client’s Internet and retail business. E-mail and their responses make this much easier, with the documentation already in place.

Name No-No’s
http://incomewave.ws/3stepsecret.htm
Whether your business is a work at home Internet business or staffs several hundred in a downtown skyscraper you’re going to be online to succeed, and you’re going to have to come up with a good business name and a good domain name. Here are some things to avoid in naming your work at home online business prior to setting up your Internet site.
The first mistake many new work at home online business owners make is to ask for too much input on Internet site and business name, from too many people. They tend to ask family and friends what their new business’ name should be, and what domain name it should have. The problem with this is that not all will really understand the business idea or the jargon involved in that business. The second reason to avoid this consultative process is that you can only choose one name. This means that the more people you ask the more people you are going to disappoint – and perhaps even insult.
It is far better to kick off the online and other aspects of your work at home Internet business by asking the opinion and business help of those few people who have been chosen to have an integral management part of your venture. You might pull these folks together and have a brainstorming session which you all feed off each other’s ideas. That way when the end results in a name each will feel like they’ve been a part of giving you that idea.
Another entrepreneurial business naming error is to tack and adjective together with a noun to come up with one word former with a middle of the word capital letter. If, for instance, your work at home Internet business were to offer online sale of luggage at discount prices you might be tempted to call it something like EconoPack. It’s bad for two reasons. No one can look at that name and know what it is you offer. Is it like a UPS store that offers shipping services? The other disadvantage is that the domain name may turn out to be econopack.com or .net. Which, without a capital P is even fussier. Luggage for Less would be a much clearer name.
If you think of the new (in the last five years) work at home Internet business start ups that have grown online to become household names, you’ll see that they all took zingy, snappy, lively names that differentiated themselves from others and weren’t likely to be copied. They didn’t take boring names that could be forgotten or worse yet, confused with other companies. Yahoo is one example. It could have been World Wide Search Engine instead. Google is another. Monster is a great example of a name that is not only memorable but suggestive of high volume, strength, durability and vast reach. Monster could have been Online Job Resource. What a blah name that would have been. All these started out as work at home Internet business projects by unknown online entrepreneurs. Their choice of business and Web site names paid a large part in their ability to brand themselves and thus to succeed.

Best Bets for your Business
http://incomewave.ws/3stepsecret.htm
The best home based Internet business opportunity you'll ever have is one you know and love. Combining your skills, your experience, your joys and your loves into a home based business opportunity is the best way to enjoy your life, find happiness and develop a thriving and satisfying entrepreneurship.
The key is determining what you know and what you love. For some it’s easy – it’s almost as if they were born signing or song writing. Perhaps they started writing short stories in first grade at their daddy’s knee. There are those who started out their toddler years by taking apart and putting back together every mechanical thing they came across. These lucky folks seem to have been born into a chosen field of endeavor. But what about the rest of us? Some folks graduate from college still not sure about what they want to be and do? How do these folks decide the best home based Internet business opportunity for themselves?
One way might be to take an online test, such as a personality or skills set assessment. Some of these are free, while most have minimal charges. There are some that offer assessment tools that can be used by therapists, counselors, teachers and other professionals to help you determine the business that would best fit with your skills set and interests.
One test offered online, for those who want to make a decision on the best home based Internet business opportunity as well as those who are trying to decide on what career to pursue working for others, is offered by a prominent higher education and training publisher and online service.
This interest and skills survey measures an individual’s attraction to specific areas of occupation. It goes beyond other traditional skills inventories, however, in that it adds parallel scales of skill that are able to estimate your confidence in your ability to perform these various occupational tasks. The data is rich and comprehensive thanks to this combination of testing tools. The test can be taken in person or online, but the online version is preferred if you’re working with an employment counselor or other career professional. The Web version provides a unique counselor test management system and a career planner that is expansive.
This particular testing apparatus specializes in assessment of the best home based Internet business opportunity or careers for those who have completed or plan to complete at least a four year post-secondary education. The way the assessment works is to not only produce results that tell a potential entrepreneur the best home based Internet business opportunity for her or his interest or skills but also suggest academic studies that would hone these skills and enhance her ability to succeed. The assessment also offers advice to employees who are transitioning to a business opportunity, with particular attention to displaced employees who have decided to venture out on their own.
