People constantly ask me how they can start earning a steady income from home relatively quickly. The inevitable answer is to try providing a service that is in demand.

Recently, one of our members told us she has been working her candle business for over a year with little return and 2 days after starting her V.A. (virtual assistant) business, she was profitable.

Not surprising at all. She had some connections and was able to find business owners that needed her help. She fulfilled a need and was paid for her time.

If you are still struggling with the online business thing and need to put food on the table or have extra funds to invest in your business, you can offer a service too.

If you are going to start a service-based business and want to get it going right away, I’d recommend the following:

1. Choose something where you likely have access to a client base.

For example, if you want to be a VA and already have a bunch of Internet business owners, you might have a pool of interested people. That doesn’t mean you can’t start from scratch in something that interests you, but realize it might take longer to get up and running.

2. Set up a website right away.

Even if it is a basic website that tells people why they need your service and a way to contact you, get that up right away. As a home business owner, you need to have an office where people can visit you. Your website is your office. You can tweak and improve it later.

3. Ask people for referrals.

If you know somebody might be in touch with your ideal client base, ask for referrals. Also, ask the clients you acquire for referrals. Satisfied clients are an amazing source of new clientele.

4. Do a great job, but don’t overload yourself.

Remember, you are getting paid for the time you work with your clients, but a business has other obligations as well. You need to schedule time (or hire someone) for administrative tasks, marketing, etc.

The only thing to consider now is that if you start a service-based business, you’ve set yourself up with a JOB that you do from home. In part 2 of this article, you’ll find tips to turn your home job into a full-fledged business.

I am trying to find an Internet Marketing Consultant in Philadelphia. I recall seeing a video on YouTube with a local consultant but I cannot find that video anymore.

I am looking for internet marketing services such as SEO, PPC, etc.

If someone can provide some suggestions or if they can give me the URL to the YouTube video I came across - that would be great.

Thanks,

Bobby

I believe the YouTube video you are looking for can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1ZMEdXbgqQ

YouTube has a search feature in which you can type in your keywords and then sort by Date Added or Relevance based on your phrase or how recent the video had been added.
