Internet Home Business Ideas - My Top 2 Favorites!

By:


I'd like to share my two favorite internet home business ideas. They are my favorites simply because they WORK and they work because traditional small and medium-sized businesses, the kind of businesses you'll find on any street in any town, do not know how to use the Internet correctly to enhance their marketing.

With a few basic Internet marketing skills, you can approach these offline businesses, show them how to connect with more of their target market, and build stronger, more profitable relationships with their customers.

It is possible for anybody with basic Internet skills (for example, anyone that has sold a few items on eBay or they understand how an autoresponder works, or maybe they enjoy uploading videos to YouTube) to offer practical, online marketing advice and guidance to local business owners, and be paid handsomely for doing so.

Local business owners are tired of spending thousands of dollars on traditional advertising methods like newspaper, radio ads, and Yellow Pages listings, only to find that these methods are becoming less and less effective, year on year.

You can help these businesses move their marketing efforts online, and these businesses will love the results you deliver by using simple online techniques like email marketing, eBay classified ads, local SEO, and so on.

The real "home run" with this internet home business idea is that a lot of the work involved can be outsourced to others, while the your time is freed up to build new client relationships.

This concept is one of my favourite internet home business ideas, because you really can go from zero to a five-figure monthly income very rapidly, without the need for start up capital or specialist skills.

Here's just one step-by-step example of how simple this business can be:

1. Open a local phone or business directory and start going through the listings, checking off the locally-owned businesses.

2. Next, go to the Internet and start looking up the businesses that are checked. For this task, you will want to identify the businesses that ALREADY HAVE a website.

3. When you visit the websites, take note of the businesses that don't have an email collection box (also called an opt-in form) on their site. After finding 20 locally-owned businesses that have a website but lack an "opt-in" form for email, the task is almost complete.

4. The final step is to send the list of qualified business owners a simple letter telling them that there is an inexpensive and proven idea that you'd like to share with them. Include your phone number and email address in the letter.

As business owners make contact, explain to them the power, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness of email marketing. You can tell the business owners that you'd like to help them manage their email marketing campaign.

Using this idea alone, you could have dozens of clients within a short period of time, and many of them will be willing to pay monthly to have someone manage their email marketing campaigns.

The second of my two internet home business ideas is based on the simple idea that every local car dealer suffers from slow-moving inventory. By utilizing eBay Motors, you can help dealers expose their inventory to the national marketplace and achieve far higher prices than can be achieved locally in almost all cases.

All car dealers and other organizations that constantly move used vehicles (such as banks with repos, and rental companies) are hurting. Our slow economy presents a great opportunity today for entrepreneurial people like you to build your own internet home business, as you can help these businesses without ever owning a single vehicle yourself.

More than one car is sold every second of every day on eBay motors, and 75% of eBay autos are sold outside of their local area. With eBay auction values averaging $500-$1,500 more than local auctions, you can charge the dealer a fixed fee for listing these vehicles; with only ONE dealer, rental agency or repo company as your client, you can have endless inventory.

This is one of my top internet home business ideas because it can be started today and quickly built to $10,000 per month and beyond. That equals just three dealers each selling ten cars per month at an average fee of $333.

This internet home business idea really can be started today with nothing, and scaled without limit. Remember that very few businesses know how to use eBay professionally. You can be these businesses' eBay expert and help increase their bottom line, and they will pay you very well indeed for doing so.
