Everything You’ll Need To Run A Successful Home Business

    What are you going to do when your boss says “You’re Fired!” and you haven’t planned ahead? Have you even given it a thought? Let’s be honest here. The economy stinks and people are losing their jobs left and right. Maybe you haven’t given it much thought. Maybe you have. In either case, I’m going to offer some suggestions just in case that fateful day should ever arrive.

    You may have never given it any thought, but working from home may just be your ticket out of the rat race. I was a victim of the “You’re Fired!” crowd myself. I lost my job on December 31, 2009. I never looked back. At my age, there was no way I was going to find work again. So I took to working from home. It didn’t happen right away. I needed some time to figure out just what I wanted to do. But once I did, I went full speed ahead. But what about you?

    Well, there are quite a few things you can do from home. Home businesses cover many areas. One of the most common is freelancing. If you have any kind of skill, such as writing, program or graphic design, there is plenty of demand for people with those skills. Some copywriters online earn as much as $15,000 for one sales letter or more. No, you don’t start off at those prices, but you can easily work your way up to them if you have the talent.

    Another thing you can do from home is get into sales. There are tons of products online that you can sell as an affiliate. You can sell physical products or you can sell what they call virtual products, or digital goods. The beauty of these is that there is no physical inventory and you can sell them virtually forever and never have to worry about running out of stock. I’ve been selling digital info products for years.

    If you like, you could put together a web site that offers a monthly membership providing some kind of a service to people. There are many services online that help a number of people. For example, one service that I use is Aweber. They are an autoresponder service that I use to send messages to the people on my mailing list. This service helps me earn thousands of dollars monthly because of all the people I can reach without having to worry about spam complaints.

    Point is, working from home gives you the kind of security that a job can’t give you…not anymore. I have too often been the victim of downsizing and companies going out of business. It happens. It’s a fact of life. So you might want to consider planning for your future by considering your own home business.

    If you have a plan in place BEFORE the boss says “You’re Fired!” you just might save yourself a lot of grief in the long run.

    To YOUR Success,

    This month George Sepich and I are going to be launching Niche Toolkit. Quite honestly, it’s the most comprehensive membership I have ever seen at this price point. I have to give George most of the credit because he’s the brains behind it. I’m really just along for the ride as a writer and marketing “expert”. And I do use that term loosely as I am always still learning things.

    And yes, Niche Toolkit is without a doubt truly special.

    But is it right for YOU?

    Interesting question, don’t you think? Especially coming from one of the creators. You’d think I’d be here giving you a sales pitch for this thing. Well, those of you who know me know that I hate sales pitches. Sometimes I wonder if I’m really cut out for this business. But that’s another issue altogether and one I’ll tackle another time.

    But let’s get back to the question.

    Is it right for YOU?

    Guess what? Only YOU can answer that.

    In order for you to be able to answer that question, let me give you the 2 cent tour of what Niche Toolkit is about and what it will also be about in the future.

    The first module of Niche Toolkit is the training program. George and I are basically sharing all our years of marketing experience here. For me, that’s over 6 years. For George, it’s a lot longer. He’s been doing this stuff since the dawn of Internet time. I’m the young pup here.

    The training alone is so comprehensive that it is probably worth the price of admission by itself. The training section is broken up into monthly modules because we don’t want to overwhelm everybody with a whole lot of stuff at one time. The traning runs for 12 months, so essentially this is a 12 month membership in that regard, though you may want to remain longer and I will explain why next.

    In addition to the comprehensive training, each member gets their own site. This site is going to be a HUGE marketplace to sell a variety of products through Clickbank. Each niche has been thoroughly researched to make sure that there isn’t too much competition in it and each product has been tested to sell. NO, these are NOT IM related niches. They are non money making products.

    The member sites will be promoted BY US. They will be circulated through a rotator so that everybody gets equal exposure. Naturally, any additional advertising YOU do is going to help.

    Whatever you sell…you keep 100% of the profits.

    But there’s more.

    You’ll also be given a number of MRR products to sell as well, again, keeping 100% of each sale. These will be sold through your own PayPal account.

    Naturally, if you don’t have access to Clickbank and PayPal, this membership is only going to be so helpful to you. Just wanted to be straight about that up front.

    There will also be an affiliate program where you will get a percentage of every sign up through your page.

    There is also a members forum. Here you will be able to ask any questions about the training materials or anything for that matter, and get them answered.

    We will also be doing webinars where you can speak with us live.

    In the future, as the site grows, we’ll be selling advertising space and the members will be sharing in the ad revenue.

    At this is just the tip of the iceberg.

    George is a fanatic on overdelivering. He wants this to be the most amazing membership site ever put together. So far, I think it beats anything I’ve ever seen, but he’s just getting started.

    He’s also added hundreds of products from his Grab Bag membership that you will have access to. That alone is a $27.77 a month membership.

    I could go on with all the plans that George has but then this article would be 5,000 words long.

    So let me cut to the chase.

    This membership will be going for $97 a month.

    However, those who get in early (and we are limiting these to 250 seats) can get in for just $47 monthly. That’s 52% off the regular price.

    If we fill all 250 slots, we are seriously considering closing the doors until people drop out. This will further increase the value of this membership.

    All in all, for somebody just starting out, this is a heck of a jump start. I wish I had this opportunity when I first began. The training alone would have made it worth it. But with everything else George has added, this is a no brainer.

    Those of you who know me know how important my reputation is to me. And therefore, I would never risk it on something that did not deliver. It’s just not worth it.

    But…is Niche Toolkit right for YOU?

    Well, you basically know what you’re getting. And quite honestly, the description above doesn’t come close to doing this justice, but you know how I hate hype.

    The question that you need to answer is simple.

    Is this something that YOU can use?

    To help you answer that, here are some questions you might want to ask yourself.

    1. Do I need the training?
    2. Will having a site made for me help save me time and money?
    3. Do I have the time to put into this or will I just be wasting money?
    4. Am I dedicated enough to put in the effort?
    5. Does this site fit in with my business plan if I have one?

    You might think of other questions you can ask yourself that are more specific to your circumstances.

    Bottom line…I want you to make the right decision for you.

    The 250 seats, at this price, WILL go. There is no question about that. You have to decide if you want to be a part of it.

    Fair enough?

    If you have ANY questions about this membership that I haven’t answered, please feel free to post them to this thread. All questions are moderated so only relevant ones will be allowed to remain and given answers to.

    I’m trying to avoid SPAM.

    Or, if you prefer, you can email me at the email address on my main site at:

    Just put “Niche Toolkit Questions” in the subject.

    I really DO want you to make the right decision for YOU.
