Your Own Business v.s. Getting the Business
I want to say a few words about my idea for this blog, which really concerns starting your own internet home business. The key words are really, "home business," and the operative action phrase is, "start your own home business." Part of the point is to develope a successful online business so that you actually make money online reliably and predictably.
So, you see that the people I see myself writing for are really the people who do not want a job, per se, or who may not want to be dependent on a job. Some of you may have jobs you love that pay bundles of money, but many of you may see yourselves as a sort of wage slave. You might even view having a job as an undesirable condition, a sort of vice, as it were. Personally, I fall into that category. Unless the "job" is also a calling that you love, I think there has just got to be a better way.
Right now, there is a huge amount of Internet search devoted to finding jobs online. Many people are searching seeking employment that will allow them to work at home. In a sense, they are seeking to replicate their day job at home. Admittedly, there can be many advantages to staying at home, but the problem, at least for me, is that you are still working for someone else and filing W2s. In many cases these work-at-home jobs are barely above minimum wage, and so for me, I’m also back at square one.
If you are one of those seeking an online job you can do at home, more power to you. I wish you the best, but I’m not sure that this blog is really what you are looking for as the basic intent is concerned with moving away from employment. However, having said that, I know that I’ve come across information concerning online "job" jobs, and so now that I’ve written this, maybe I’ll put it up. It may be of use.
One of the pitfalls of publishing a blog discussing starting a home based Internet business or about making money online it being flagged as an Internet marketing site. Well, maybe that’s not such a bad thing, but Internet marketing is so often so far over the top about making money online that all perspective and rationality is lost in the feeding frenzy over getting rich quick. And that, of course, has nothing to do with business. And it’s busines–or blind luck–that makes you rich. If you can do it quickly, then I say "yeehaw!" And it is business, by the way, that seems to get lost or go missing completely in Internet marketing.
My beef with jobs is the existential "huit clos" or no exit. When I talk about starting an Internet business, I’m thinking of the single mom, or single dad, or the single couple unit–even college students in need of more money than a part time minimum wage brings. I’m not thinking about the MBAs who pull down a million bucks in venture capital or someone who gets $500,000 in start up money from a vulture capital investor. I think we can get there. However, we’ll need to turn a deaf ear to hype and understand that without business basics, we’ll be sure to get the "busieness" in the end.
