Many people have asked this question for years without ever getting an answer. A home business, or work at home business; which one is best? Well, it depends on many factors that most people don’t think about:

• What type of home business are you looking for?
• How much money do you have to invest?
• How much time can you invest on operating the business?
• What type of business will you form; sole proprietorship, a partnership, corporation, or just working from your kitchen table?
• What skills do you have that be transferred to a business?

The list can go on and on. Let’s look into the above choices more closely.

What type of home business are you looking for?

• Do you want to sell a product?
• Promote another company’s product
• Act as a “middle-man” to get a commission?

How much money do you have to invest?

• Are you strapped for cash or have plenty of money to spend?
• Will you take out a loan or go to investors?
• Either way, how much are you willing to spend (lose or invest)?

How much time can you invest on operating a business?

• If you are still working at your “day-job”, you usually have limited time available.
• Do you plan on starting the business then have other people run it for you?
• Do you think a business just runs itself?

What type of business will you form; sole proprietorship, a partnership, corporation, or just working from your kitchen table?

• For most home business, a sole proprietorship (or individual) is the way to go.
• A partnership or corporation involves lawyers & much more money than you probably want to spend right now.

What skills do you have that be transferred to a business?

• Many people say, “work at what you love and you’ll never really work at all”. That’s fine for some, but for most of us, we work at something we don’t really love just to pay the bills.

So what’s the answer?

For many people, the best and easiest work at home business is one where you can promote someone else’s product or service.

This is called “Affiliate Marketing”.

Look at the benefits;

• Very little start-up costs (usually under $100.00)
• Pick the product or service you want that interests you.
• No need to form an “actual business”. This lowers your overhead.
• No need for employees, just a computer connected to the internet.
• You get paid a commission on everyone you recommend to that product or service.
• You can work from home at your own pace, when you want too.

Sounds easy, right?

The only problem is what home based business is the right one for me?

Just type “work from home”, “work at home”, or “home based business” into any search engine and you will come up with more choices than you ever dreamed of. But most are just get rich quick scams or work at home business in name only.

Do your homework first before you join or pay for any work at home program. Search the internet for websites that review other home business programs. When you find the right one, you’ll be on your way to success. Good luck.

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?” This is a legitimate question posed by Jesus Christ of Nazareth in the Gospel of Luke (14:28). Business plans are the equivalent of counting the cost of building a temple. Who would start a business without first counting the cost of starting and running that business. This is the purpose of the business plan.

Business plans are necessary but only if you want to avoid the consequences of failing to do so. Jesus continued his lesson in the next verses, “Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.” In other words, if you neglect planning, you will ultimately fail. No matter how great your idea, no matter how passionate you feel about the business, you must still take the time to create a working business plan.

The civilisation of Atlantis lasted for 240,000 years, during which there was a period of 1500 years, called the Golden Age, when the energy was the highest it has ever been on the planet. During this time everyone was happy, successful and prosperous. So how did they maintain this halcyon state? What can you learn now from their ancient wisdom? How can you bring back the power to succeed with integrity? You already understand and possibly practise the efficacy of some of the principles but others are equally important for one hundred percent success.

How to succeed as they did in Atlantis

1. Do what makes your heart sing

From childhood, the Alanteans were encouraged to develop their inherent skills and talents. Everyone is happy doing what they have a natural aptitude for and in those, each individual did what he most loved to do. To do anything else would have been unthinkable! And business thrives when your heart is it.

How to draw in customers or a positive work environment

Happiness, contentment and sense of worth are magnetic qualities, so enthusiasm, sense of satisfaction and enjoyment automatically attract customers to trade with you or like-minded people to work with you.

Most of us know that the greatest gift we can give to our children is to be happy, for then they realize they do not have to try harder, be different, pussyfoot round us or do anything to support us. When they have permission to be themselves and are appreciated exactly as they are, they are happy too.

But how does this apply in business? The principle is the same. If for example you are a shop or business owner, your feelings attract staff, premises, products and most important of all, customers, who are metaphorically speaking your children. If you, the owner are doing what makes your heart sing, your aura is an irresistible force that draws people in to assist and support the venture, and they will arrive in their hundreds for your goods or services.

Your products and services all radiate energy. Customers and clients will be subtly repelled by negative feelings, which may surround goods as a result of the way they were made, transported or handled. Happy frequencies however dissolve lower ones, so you can transmute that negativity into a magnetic glow. Your customers will sense this, so books and other treasures will fly from your shelves and your customers will come back for more. Constantly bless your products and your customers. This subtly confers a beautiful divine energy to everything and makes people feel good.

Money automatically comes in when your thoughts and beliefs are aligned to your vision.

2. Act with total honesty, openness and integrity

In the Golden Age of Atlantis everyone could read auras, so there was no point in being anything other than one hundred percent honest. Because everything was open and above board, there were no subliminal messages or secret deals and everyone felt totally safe for there was nothing hidden to harm them. They trusted others and relaxed completely.

It is interesting to observe what happens when modern day business people decide that, no matter what, they are going to be totally upfront, and will act with complete integrity. The customers trust, relax their defences and respond by bringing out their credit cards.

Although I don’t have a shop, I sell my books, cards and CD’s at my seminars. I also work with my teachers who run my teaching courses and angel correspondence course. From the beginning I chose to act with integrity but not always with openness. Then I decided that too must be done and I would share with anyone who asked, information about profits and costs. I gave my teachers up to date financial details about all the courses and invited them to ask any questions. The feeling of trust was tangible and resulted in an astonishing surge in helpfulness, co-operation and higher sales.

3. Develop your intuition

In the West we are left brain dominant, so we are taught and encouraged to rely on our rational, planning, numerical mind. In contrast the abundant Atlanteans knew that well honed intuition is more effective than all the rational thinking and calculating in the world. When you work with the left brain, you have the use of your mind computer to crunch numbers, and this is very effective as a back up. However the right brain connects you to creative ideas, the ability to see the overall picture and guidance from the higher spiritual realms. From here come impulses of pure genius, extraordinary new ideas and concepts, as well as brilliant solutions you would never ordinarily have thought of.

How to open your right brain creativity

In order to connect with the powers of your right brain, give yourself time to relax and fall into a reflective state. Into this calm, receptive state of mind the angels can drop higher guidance and creative innovations.

There are, of course, other advantages to giving yourself time to contemplate. Your health improves; you feel more at peace; relationships get better and your intuition is sharply attuned.

4. See the best in everyone

In the Golden Times the people consciously and actively looked for the best in everyone and, not surprisingly others responded positively to this. When someone seeks the divine in you, you automatically like them, your heart opens and you cannot do enough for them.

In this plane of duality, we have temporarily lost our knowing of Oneness and we create separation by running a video in our heads, judging ourselves and others. Just as we are aware of atmospheres even though we cannot see, feel or touch them, we all sense if someone is criticizing us. When this happens we automatically and unconsciously put up our barriers.

When we feel accepted as we are, we feel liberated. When you genuinely accept yourself and your clients with all their foibles, without judgment, they will flock towards you and lovingly pay for your goods or services.

5. Use your mental powers to manifest your dreams

In Atlantis quite young children were taught to develop their mental powers. They learned to relax deeply and make vivid pictures in their minds, which is, of course, the basis of manifestation. Many of the current relaxation tapes on offer follow Atlantean principles.

Traders would visualise the success they wanted, without stress or attachment, for the highest good. They trusted that the Universe would respond to these instructions and acted on the assumption that whatever they had focussed on would soon appear. So, they prepared for it and consequently their businesses always succeeded. The Universal Computer has a magical way of providing the best for everyone.

Do not sabotage your good

We live in an abundant Universe, where there is enough success, happiness, peace and love for everyone. Only guilt, fear and doubt sabotage success. We have heard a million times that each individual creates his own reality and it is true. If five similar businesses set up in the same area and they all had positive and abundant minded owners, they would all succeed. There is no such thing as too much competition only fear of the results of competition. The Universal Computer will give you whatever you believe.

Cultivate an abundant attitude

Think, talk and act as if you have plenty. Then all your needs will be supplied and the Universe will back you up. Remember poverty consciousness repels success. Abundance consciousness attracts it.

How to use your power

When you still your mind, deeply relax your body and envision what you want to manifest, you are setting into motion Cosmic Forces. You must be clear about what you want. When you lack clarity your muddled thoughts give contradictory instructions to the Universe and this prevents your dreams from coming to fruition. When you hold a vision without doubt or deviation it must come true.

Use symbols to strengthen your vision

Most business ideas founder because we let doubt creep in and give the Powers that Be mixed messages. The Atlanteans understood the power of symbols, so step 4 of the following exercise will enable you to set all your forces going in the same direction and that helps to energise your goal.

Exercise to manifest your success

Step 1.

Get really clear about what you want. Do you want to work full or part-time, for a large or small company, do you want to own your own business? Decide what you want, or at least what your next step is. You may need to brain storm this with friends or write down different possibilities until you get it right. You will know if it is perfect for you because it feels good inside. Trust the message your body give you.

Step 2.

Light a candle. Sit quietly and breathe in and out of every part of your body.
Imagine a soft golden light filling each and every cell.

Step 3.

Picture your outcome and emotionally feel the satisfaction, excitement, happiness and success that comes from this vision.

Step 4

Imagine you are driving a two horse chariot, one animal is white and the other black. The white horse is galloping towards the hoped for success. The black one is racing towards your doubts. As a result you are being pulled all over the place and using up your energy controlling the situation.

Picture yourself stopping the chariot. Get down and talk to the horses. Thank them for the wonderful work they have been doing. Tell them exactly where you want them to head and ask them to work in harness together to help you reach your destination quickly and easily.

Then climb into the chariot and, with your horses pulling together, see yourself moving swiftly towards your goal.

Every few days or so, you can check in to see how the two horses are doing.

6. Give and receive in equal measure

The Atlanteans never accrued karma for they never gave without receiving and never received without giving. All stayed in perfect balance.

How does this translate to modern business? So many New Age business people are warm hearted, magnanimous people, who are constantly giving. If you are always pouring out your energy, time and gifts and do not feel you are receiving a just return, you have become a victim or martyr, open to abuse. Because you do not recognise your worth, neither do others. You are not valued and your business withers. The answer is to maintain a balance, for when you remain generous and open hearted, while respecting what you are offering, your due reward must come to you.

7. Work with the Angel of your business

The Atlanteans were open to their angels and drew freely on their help. Your business has an angel who looks after it, just as you have a Guardian Angel who watches over you. The angel of your business is longing to help you but cannot do so unless you ask. Here are a few things that your angel can assist you with.

They will help find things that are lost or mislaid. They will enable you to find the right colleagues, staff and harmonize relationships. They will draw customers in. They will help you choose the right clients or projects to put your energy into. They will bring you success.

How to meet the angel of your business

1.Find a place where you can be quiet and undisturbed.

2.Play soft, restful music and light a candle.

3.Mentally tell the angel of your business that you would like to connect.

4.In your mind’s eye walk round your business and sense where your angel is.

5.Sense the colour and height of your Guardian.

6.Thank it for looking after your business.

7.If you wish to do so, ask its name and accept the first one that drops into your head.

8.Explain your situation and ask for the help you need.

9.Stay open to impressions and promptings.

10.Imagine a cloak of protective light being placed over you.

11.Open your eyes.

Whenever you enter your business place, acknowledge your angel and start a dialogue with it - though it may seem to start as a monologue. When your lines of communication become clearer you will receive more and more impressions and tangible help.

Enjoy your success.

One of the best ways to promote your business is with custom business cards. You want to choose something that is going to make your company stand out and allow you to look like the professional that you are. Even if your printer has the capability of business card printing it is to your advantage to choose professionally made business cards. There are many things a printer can do for you to enhance your business cards including adding a logo and developing a color scheme that will allow your color business cards to stand out the best so that they draw traffic to your company.

Even if you are on a limited budget, cheap business cards are available both online and offline. There are companies online that can help you create a business logo inexpensively so that your custom business cards stand out professionally when you give them to customers and vendors. You do not want to portray the image that you are unable to afford high quality business cards nor do you want to choose something that will take away from the real reason you have business cards initially. That means if your contact information changes, buy new color business cards rather than crossing off the old information and handwriting the changes.

Choose colors that are easy to read such as a light color background with a dark ink. Avoid color schemes that are too visible unless you are an artist-stay with one or two basic colors. You want to make sure to include your business advertising on your business cards and not just your name and contact information. If you have a website by all means include the URL on your business cards. When you pass along your business cards, you want potential customers to have enough information to make a decision whether they wish to do business with you. In many cases your business card will be the first impression that someone has of you and your company, so you want to make it a favorable one.

Many people make the mistake of buying business cards that are flashy and thus detract from the purpose of the cards. You want to keep them simple and in the appropriate size for wallets and cardholders. In the United States that usually means a 3.5 x 2 while they may be larger in Europe to accommodate larger wallets and cardholders. Finally, use your business card as a means of communication by giving your business card to each person who gives you theirs. In this way you can not only collect potential customers for yourself but give someone else the opportunity to share information with others who may be looking for your products or services.

Beating the eBay business competition is not an easy feat. In most eBay niches you will find many of the same products for virtually the same price. What then separates a successful eBay business from one that goes belly up? In a single word: “passion”. Those that don’t believe in their business, can’t possibly succeed. Finding a legitimate source of products you understand and learning how to sell them are the most important factors to your eBay business future.

eBay Business Product Suppliers: Go with a dropshipper

Finding products to sell in your eBay business may seem easy at first. You could certainly make products or find them at garage sale, but often this is either too time consuming or the market is not strong enough for this strategy. Others look to foreign importers for low bulk prices. Language issues or reliability problems often make this a frustrating option. One of the best places to look for high quality below wholesale items is a dropshipper. Dropshippers offer a wide range of products, often more than one million, that you can sell for profit in your eBay business or an online store. You pay nothing upfront for these products and the dropshipper takes care of all the shipping for you. Legitimate dropshippers also commonly offer a free trial period to test out the company’s services before you sign up for a monthly membership.

Choosing The Right eBay Business Products

Selecting your first product for you eBay business takes time and research. If you don’t understand computers, don’t try to sell a Dell laptop in your eBay business. Choose products that you are knowledgeable about. The next step is to find out if there is demand for ou product on eBay. This can be done quite simply by using the eBay completed auctions tool under advanced search. By searching for the product in question you can find out if there has been a consistent history of bidders and a high closing price. Once you have chosen a product you can now list it for auction on eBay. It is important to note that if you are using a dropshipper and the item does not sell, you don’t pay anything and move onto the next auction.

Listing Your eBay Business Auction For Success

Perhaps the most important factor separating your auction from the pack will be the way it is listed. It is important to list all major search terms for the item in your title. You can even include brand names of items that are similar, but make sure that the title is not misleading. With a dropshipper you can save your eBay business precious time, by using a “push-to-auction” tool that basically creates your auction listing for you. As the auction progresses make sure to answer any potential bidder’s questions quickly. If they don’t get a response, they will simply buy from another eBay business. When the auction concludes, order the item from the dropshipper as soon as possible so you will get strong feedback. A positive feedback rating can help your business a great deal.

Overall it is essential that your eBay business feature products you enjoy to talk about and can easily answer bidders questions. Having the passion to take your business to the next level will require the patience to see the job through. A powerful dropshipper will greatly aid your product selection as well as provide a major component to your eBay business success.

We present an analysis of a person-to-person recommendation network, consisting of 4 million people who made 16 million recommendations on half a million products. We observed the propagation of recommendations and the cascade sizes, which can be explained by a stochastic dynamic model. We then established how the recommendation network grows over time and how effective it is from the viewpoint of the senders and receivers of recommendations. While on average recommendations are not very effective at inducing purchases and do not spread very far, there are product and pricing categories for which viral marketing seems to be very effective.

How behavior and institutions are affected by social relations is one of the classic questions of social theory. This paper concerns the extent to which economic action is embedded in structures of social relations, in modern industrial society. Although the usual neoclasical accounts provide an “undersocialized” or atomized-actor explanation of such action, reformist economists who attempt to bring social structure back in do so in the “oversocialized” way criticized by Dennis Wrong. Under-and oversocialized accounts are paradoxically similar in their neglect of ongoing structures of social relations, and a sophisticated account of economic action must consider its embeddedness in such structures. The argument in illustrated by a critique of Oliver Williamson’s “markets and hierarchies” research program.

As an alternative to rigid DRM measures, ways of marketing virtual goods through multi-level or networked marketing have raised some interest. This report is a first approach to multi-level markets for virtual goods from the viewpoint of theoretical economy. A generic, kinematic model for the monetary flow in multi-level markets, which quantitatively describes the incentives that buyers receive through resales revenues, is devised. Building on it, the competition of goods is examined in a dynamical, utility-theoretic model enabling, in particular, a treatment of the free-rider problem. The most important implications for the design of multi-level market mechanisms for virtual goods, or multi-level incentive management systems, are outlined.
