We’re not going to be discussing ways to make money online legitimately. Instead, we’ll a look at a few best practices that can help you out. It is important that, once you’ve started working on your business, you consider ways to streamline your operation. Build up your reputation and visibility: Network within your niche. Take advantage of all opportunities to expand your network and make sure to maintain contact with prospects and resource people. You may have all the capital you need but if you don’t have access to human resource, your business will fail. Become active in relevant forums. Allot an at least an hour a day to post on discussions on your blog, niche forum or in social media. Consider it a long term investment in PR. It also helps to keep your blog more active which enhances its value to visitors. Invest in traditional advertising. I included this tip because a lot of new online business owners tend to overlook traditional advertising. While some businesses can skip this entirely, a lot more can benefit. This is especially true for businesses that deal with physical products and services. To get more work done and save time: Delegate repetitive grunt work. There are a host of freelance websites online, not to mention online classifieds and forums. Do yourself and your business a favor and get someone reliable to do your data entry work, email support, or link building. The

cost to pay for these services are low and it frees up your more valuable time that you can use to grow the business. Avoid delays by choosing the most reliable payment option. Whether you’re buying or selling, having a reliable payment processor will save you loads of aggravation down the road. You want a service that can transfer your money reliably and your customers deserve a payment processor that they can trust. It may cost more in monthly fees BUT you and your customer’s peace of mind should be nonnegotiable. Invest in backup equipment and redundancy measures. It’s always a good idea to be prepared for any work disruptions. Getting back on your feet after a disaster, power outage or equipment failure ensures that you keep earning and you keep your customers. To save on expenses: Consider your work location, move to places where cost of living is cheaper. If you’re renting, consider moving to a location where the rent is lower or relocated to a less expensive city. As long as you have a reliable internet connection, you can work on your business. There are even entrepreneurs who have moved to other countries after they’ve stabilized their businesses. Do your taxes diligently. Always do your tax on time. Since most home based business owners and workers compute their own taxes, making sure you pay the right amount can save you the trouble of dealing repeatedly with the taxman. Keep you records straight and your receipts organized. Choose equipment that fits your work. Even if some people say that you can work off a phone or a tablet, just don’t. No matter how smart your phone is, it will never replace your desktop or laptop when it comes to doing spreadsheet processing, web design, and even writing. Although, tablets are way better standalone presentation devices than laptop.

Lastly, put what you’ve learned into practice. You will never see the benefits unless you try it out. Most of the tips I’ve written here have, one way or another, been quite

helpful in my work from home career.
