Grow Your Homebased Business

Tuesday, February 07, 2006



Here are 10 steps to grow your homebased business into the personal and professional success it was meant to be:

  1. Focus on a single product or service, and then market it, sell it, promote it—do everything you can to increase sales of that one product or service.
  2. Expand your product line to offer complementary products or services.
  3. Find ways to increase sales to your existing customers.
  4. Hire someone to help you out—an employee, a freelancer, an intern, an independent contractor, even your kids.
  5. Create a Web site to advertise your company or sell products online.
  6. Join forces with another business to promote your company.
  7. Target other markets.
  8. Find new and different ways to market your business through e-mail newsletters or by doing guest-speaking gigs or by teaching a class.
  9. Expand to another location.
  10. Think about turning your business into a franchise or business opportunity.
