~ SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE HEADACHES OF DOING *TAX RETURNS* GET HELP FROM AN ACCOUNTANT ~

Tax Return is one of the Major Headaches for *Online Home Based Business Owners*. Every year, hundreds of *Online Home Based Business Owners* in the Country struggle to get their Tax Returns right and avoid Penalties. If you are one of those people who cannot seem to get their Tax Returns right, forget about doing your Tax Returns on your own. Get an Accountant to do the job for you. Engaging the services of an Accountant can save your Life. Note that getting into trouble with the IRS can be very stressful and costly for you, so do not mess around with the things that you feel you are not really qualified to do.

~ HOW TO FIND A GOOD ACCOUNTANT ~

Finding a good Accountant can be quite a Challenge. Although there are many people who profess to be good Accountants, not all of these people can really help you with your needs. Always remember that different Accountants have their own areas of Specialization, so it is quite normal that some Accountants may not really be familiar with the in and out of the Industry, where you belong to. To find a good Accountant, never go to the Yellow Pages. It is never a good idea to just call an Accountant listed in the Phonebook, and ask for appointments. If you really want to find someone who can help you deal with your Income Tax Returns, ask for Referrals from other *Online Home Based Business Owners*, like you. The good thing about asking for Referrals is that you get first hand Information about the person recommended to you.

If you have a problem finding a good Accountant through other *Online Home Based Business Owners*, try to get Referrals from your Trade Association. Most Trade Associations have their own Database of Accountants who are working in their Industry. Now, if you do not belong to any Trade Association, don’t sweat it out. Just because you are not a Member of the Trade Association, that does not mean that you cannot ask for help from these Associations. There are many Trade Associations in the Country, that are willing to help even those who are not their Members, so do not hesitate to ask for their help.

~ MEETING WITH THE ACCOUNTANT ~

Before you Hire the Services of the Accountant, you need to meet with him or her first. Meeting with the Accountant is very Important so do not skip this process. No matter how busy you are, you must find some time to meet with your Accountant. Now, Meeting here does not necessarily mean that you have to meet face to face. With the Advancement of Technology, one can already meet with somebody through the Internet. Teleconferencing with your Accountant can be a good way to Work With your Accountant. Moreover, Teleconferencing will * Save You A Lot Of Time And Efforts. *

~ UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS PROFIT AND LOSS ~

For most Online Home Based Business Owners and many small Business Operators, their idea of a Profit and Loss statement, P&L in Business parlance, may be oversimplified. If they had more Income than expenses, they made a Profit. If not, they had a loss and will usually try to find more Business or increase prices to turn the trend around. By better understanding their own Business’s Profit and Loss Statement, they will be able to determine not only how much money is earned and spent, but also track their expenses to gain better control of the finances.

The first thing to remember is that there is a difference between a Budget and a Profit and Loss Statement. Income is projected and expenses are budgeted, based on the income projection. If the income does not meet the forecast, certain expenses will need to reigned in to make the Profit and Loss statement come in on the plus side at the end of the month.

The Online Home Based Business’s P&L can be as simple or as complex as you choose to make it, but the more tracking of expenses that you do, the better handle you can have on what needs to be done to control your profit amount. For example, you can simply include a line in your expense column pertaining to utilities and lump them all together. However, to get a better picture of where your money is going, you will want to break them down into Subcategories such as electric, gas, water and telephone.

By keeping them separate you may see a need to bring telephone costs under control by eliminating unnecessary lines that seldom ring or find ways to save on your electric costs. If you deduct for Online Home Based Business use of your home, you will have a pretty good idea of what your costs for utilities, rent, insurance and other expenses will be based on the percentage of your Home’s cost deducted for Online Home Based Business use of the Home.

One of the first things to budget, which has the greatest impact on your P&L will be Income. Whether you sell a Product or Service, you will need to track all forms of Income, as well as allow for deductions due to refunds and rebates and any discounts offered as customer incentives. Tracking this on the P&L is fairly easy, as if the money comes into the Online Home Based Business it is considered Income. The source can be itemized as well to help indicate how you may go about increasing Income. Expenses in the budget can be calculated as a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of Income, which usually provides greater control over spending.

Itemized expenses on the P&L can also make filing Income taxes easier as you will have a monthly record of how much money came into the Online Home Based Business as well as where every dollar went that left the building.

~EXPLORING THE AFFLIATE MLM NETWORK~

Affiliate Marketing is also the Name of the Industry where a number of different types of Companies and individuals are performing a form of Internet Marketing, including Affiliate Networks, Affiliate Management Companies and In-House Affiliate Managers, specialized 3rd Party Vendors and various types of Affiliates/Publishers who utilize a number of different Methods to Advertise the Products and Services of their Merchant/Advertiser Partners.

Most Products and Services sold through MLM or Network Marketing are not available in the everyday Retail Stores; the whole Model is built around Independent Distributors working via their Personal Network and eventually outside of it. A whole Social and Business Culture is built around the Affiliate MLM Network with Conferences, Conventions and Training Products available at a Price. Affiliate Marketing often overlaps with other Internet Marketing Methods to some degree, because Affiliates are using the same methods as most of the Merchants themselves do.

Those Methods include *Organic Search Engine Optimization, paid Search Engine Marketing, Email Marketing and to some degree Display Advertising.* Affiliate MLM Networks that have already a number of Advertisers usually also have a large number of Publishers already. This large pool of Affiliates could be Recruited or they might even apply to the Program by themselves. Relevant Sites that attract the same Audiences as the Advertiser is trying to attract, but are not competing with the Advertiser are potential Affiliate Partners as well.

Even Vendors or the existing Customers could be Recruited as an Affiliate, if it makes sense and is not violating any Legal Restrictions or Regulations. Affiliate Marketing or MLM Network Marketing has provided an Earning Opportunity to a vast number of people around the World. Initial indications concerning this form of Market Promotion reveals an Enormous Longevity for all involved in an Affiliate MLM Network. Many of the Affiliate Programs give their Affiliates Web Pages with Affiliate Links.

These can be Pages for Sales, Memberships, or simply for Information. An Affiliate can display these Pages by various means with the Anticipation to Attract new Affiliate MLM Network Clients looking for a particular Product and/or Service. In most Affiliate MLM Network Programs, the potential Marketer does not need to Purchase a Product or pay a License Fee in order to promote it. The Affiliate MLM Networker must have a Positive Opinion of the Product and/or Service that’s being offered to the Public. In other words, the Affiliate MLM Networker must own the Product and/or Service.

If the Affiliate does not like the Product, that person should not be selling it in the first place. However, if the Affiliate has decided to Promote and Sell the Product, that person needs to know the Product. By accomplishing this Task, the Affiliate MLM Networker is prepared to Vouch for the Product and/or Service Credibility. The Affiliate builds up Personal Image as someone who is an Expert in the Field and can be Trusted. This image will ensure Positive Income in the Future. Credibility will become the most importa
nt Asset to the Affiliate MLM Networker. The End Result will all depend on the Affiliate MLM Networker alone.

* LEARNING TO BE HAPPY BY WORKING ONLINE ~ FROM HOME *

Often, it is hard for someone to Learn To Be Happy. This is something that is at the Root of many people's problems, because they are simply unable to "Learn How To Be Happy". Happiness is something that is difficult for a lot of people to track down. Learning To Be Happy is a Goal that lots of people "Can Reach"!

When it comes right down to it, everyone has the chance to Learn To Be Happy. The Idea of Happiness is something that must come to each person separately. This is because Happiness is not a Uniform Thing. It is something that each person must discover on their own. The first step to Learning To Be Happy is trying to figure out where your Actual Unhappiness lies. What Triggers your Unhappiness? Are there just too many Distractions in your Home, to Separate your Work Schedule from your Home ~ Family Schedule? Can you Teach your Family to Respect your Work At Home Space?

This is an important part. Maybe you dislike your Office Job. Often times, people are unhappy and they really have no idea why. This is something that happens to a lot of people. When they are not aware of the things that are going to make them unhappy, they have more of a tendency to think that everything around them is making them this way. This is often where people end up Believing that their Entire Lives are in Trouble.

In order to avoid this, what you need to "FOCUS" on is Each Part of Your Life. The best way for you to do this, is to stop looking at Your Life as a whole picture for just a short amount of time. Learning To Be Happy is something that is a Process. "Working From Home" can help you get that Happiness you long for. The First Part of the Process is breaking down each of the Parts of Your Life and Evaluating all of them. You want to take some time to look at each of the parts of Your Life and Decide which parts are good and which are not. Remember that you should include "Everything About Your Life" in this Evaluation. Everything from your Job to your Car should be Evaluated.

Then, you will be able to make some Decisions. When you are able to see what is making you unhappy, you can decide which things in Your Life are worth Changing. Some of the things that you find will be Easy To Change. The things that you are not going to be able to Change are all going to be things that you have to Learn to Deal With. However ,when you can break down all of the things that might be making you Happy or Unhappy, it will be much easier to decide which things "You Can Change", and which things You Can Deal With. When it comes time for you to Decide Upon The Things That You Need To Change, and the Things That You Need To Deal With, you can Begin The Process Of Actually Being Happy.

I take my *Online Home Based Business* very Seriously! I am very content to Work 7 Days a week on something that I am Truly Passionate About, at Home. My Work At Home Schedule allows me to Accommodate my Children's School and Activity Schedules. There are too many Dangers in our Society to let our Children see themselves to School, (especially Boys and High School) On a Daily Basis, Therefore, I ensure that he arrives Early, and Ready to Work Hard at School. I do not have to Worry about his Safety arriving at School and returning Home, alone. I have Organized my *Online Home Based Business* and my Family Schedule, to allow me to Work 4 ~ 6 Hours or more, Everyday!

I take my Son to High School, and my Daughter to College, each Morning. Thereafter, I begin Working on my *Online Home Based Business*, until it is time to pick up my Children from School. I run a errand or two, and return Home and eat a nutritious Lunch. My Children and I Sit Down and "Work Together".

~ PROMOTING YOUR ONLINE WEBSITE ~

Do you feel that you have a Product or Service that others will love to have? Perhaps having an Online Website is a great way to Advertise your personal ~ Online Home Based Business. This will help others to know what Products and Services you offer, and how these Products can Improve their Daily Lives.

One of the easiest and most Effective Ways of Promoting your Online Website is to Advertise it on several Search Engines. A Search Engine Scans Your Website for Meta Tags or Keywords that are related to a Searchers Request. Using several different Keywords can help more Searchers hit upon Your Website.

Applying to several Search Engines will Increase the Number of Onlookers to Your Website, as this is the type of Online Searching that is used most frequently. Advertising Your Online Website opens Your Website to Customers at all hours of the day and night. People all over the World can Browse Your Website and purchase items, even while you are asleep.

Printing Business Cards that include all of the necessary information, including Your Website can also draw in New Clients. Shopping Online is a growing trend and you do not want to be left out. Giving out Business Cards to potential Clients or even leaving them at places such as Public Bulletin Boards in nearby Shopping Centers. It may also help to include your Web Address to your Office Stationary and Fliers.

If this is not an option, you can print Small Labels on your Home Computer and add them to various Advertisements that you send out. Add your Web Address as a Tag Line on your Emails too, so that people you come into contact with will have the option to Browse Your Website.

You may want to Consider Paying to have Links to Your Site, posted on other Websites. These Websites should be ones that are Related to Your Business, but not Websites that are competition to Your Website. Email the Website that you would like to have a Link from, and explain that you would like to be considered for placing an Ad on their Website. You may be asked to pay a small Monthly Fee for the Link to Your Website, but it can be well worth it if it increases TRAFFIC to Your Website, and helps to Increase the Financial Stability of Your Business.

Do not forget to Advertise in Local Area Newspapers also and include Your Website in the Ad. Many Potential Customers may be Interested in Your Company, but are not sure exactly what types of Products and Services that you Provide. Letting them Browse Your Website before they contact you can cut down on the time that you spend on those that are not Interested in what you have to sell, and allows you to FOCUS on those that are Interested in Your Products.

~ 5 BIGGEST CHALLENGES TO WORKING AT HOME ~

WORKING AT HOME is no piece of cake. Most people understand that, but they do not really get why it can be so Challenging. Outlined here are the 5 BIGGEST CHALLENGES to Working At Home. These Challenges will not stop a person from Working At Home, but can cause a lot of problems and ruin any chance for making it in the Work At Home Environment.

CHALLENGE #1
TIME

There is a lot of Freedom when Working From Home and that means being able to Manage Time efficiently is very important. It can be easy to let time get away. It is also easy to underestimate how long a task or job will take and not allot enough time to get it done. To keep time from being a Challenge, a person should develop a Schedule ~ both Work and Free Time.


CHALLENGE #2
BOUNDARIES

Many times family and friends do not take Working At Home seriously, which can lead to problems with Boundaries. It can be hard to tell someone “I am Working” and actually get them to understand and accept it. To help with Boundary issues, a person should set up a Work At Home Area that is specifically for Work. When in the Work Area ~ no personal phone calls or interruptions should be tolerated.


CHALLENGE #3
TOO MUCH INDEPENDENCE

Working At Home is about Freedom, but being too Independent can lead to problems. Everyone needs interaction with others. One of the perks of Working Outside the Home is interacting with other people. When a person Works at Home, it can be easy to withdraw into that World and forget about the Outside World. The Outside World is important, though. Networking is a huge part of Working At Home Success. Every person who Works At Home should find some type of Online Environment to belong to, and be able to escape to during the Work Day just to relax.


CHALLENGE #4
BEING OUT OF THE LOOP

This kind of goes with Independence. Being out of the loop means not staying informed. Working At Home is about staying informed and knowing what is going on in the Industry in which you are Working. A person should be a part of Online Groups and other Communities that will give them Information they should know.


CHALLENGE #5
LACK OF SUPPORT

As mentioned before, sometimes Family and Friends will not be supportive. It is common for them to not Believe a person is really Working and that they are just messing around. The way to combat this is to show them what is going on. A person should show what they do, how much money they make and make it clear that this is a real job.

These Five Challenges are going to be an issue for almost everyone who Works At Home. There are Challenges that can be Overcome, though, so they should never lead to a person giving up on Working At Home. Challenges will just make a person a Better Worker and teach them Important Skills they need to Survive in the Work At Home Environment.
