Christian Home Based Business: One Overlooked Strategy for You - the Christian

April 24, 2008

The internet is such a wide open scene with almost a limitless market - the market actually grows on an everyday basis as somebody new reaches the age that they can make purchases online. Just almost anyone having a credit card or a bank account can make purchases online and the number of world wide potential customers continues to grow. Basically the amount of business available grows everyday, as more and more people choose to do business over the Internet. And the really interesting thing is, it is still very easy to go online and start an online business.

Making money online is such a broad category and it really encompasses so much. It may include the money that is made by offline retailers who choose to add a website and have customers buy from the website. It can include money brought by investors who buy, sell and trade stocks and bonds online. It may also include getting rich quick schemes, pyramid schemes, multi level marketing plans and network marketing solutions. It can also imply all legitimate forms of products selling online via traditional sales web pages.

You can actually choose to make money online having a wide range of possibilities. You can start off with one way of making money online and then expand after you have created an income of let’s say, $1,000 per week, to keep yourself safe in case one of your income sources dries up. Choose something to get started with that fits your personality. There are so many different ways to make money that it is senseless not to start with something that interests you.

Most popular home-based Internet business possibilities offer you the chance to start an affiliate program, direct sales or network marketing business over the Internet. This provides you with a guaranteed home business that you can start right away. There are advantage and drawbacks to these kinds of businesses, but they can also provide you with a proper start and the potential for income if you choose a respectable company to work with and if you train yourself in advance about the realities of what it takes to succeed in these types of businesses.

Many internet home business opportunities look too good to be true … and it’s because they are! Don’t be fooled by exaggerated income claims and lots of dollar signs, and don’t let yourself be pressured into making any hasty decisions. Don’t jump into any kind of internet home business opportunity without first doing research about the company. It’s very important to make sure you choose a reputable company, because your good name and your reputation are at stake.

Just almost anybody can succeed in home online business if they only have two important features. Consistence and persistence - if you truly want to succeed in home based business. The other thing that also comes with the territory is hard work.

If you truly want to realize your dreams of home business success get ready for the long run, do something consistent every day for the benefit of your business and most of all, have patience.

You, the well-meaning Christian, want to select an appropriate Christian home based business. At first glance, yes, this does seem obvious. Maybe even commonsensical.

But it isn?t?not at all.

Many people, especially when they are struggling financially are willing to put aside their faith, put aside their convictions and put aside their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Their desire to relieve the financial burden and stress is sometimes overwhelming. They want to do whatever they can (that?s legal and moral) to make some money quickly. This goal and objective is of paramount importance?specially when a family or children are involved.

Fortunately, when it comes to finding creating, buying or building a Christian home based business you have some viable options. Let?s explore one overlooked one now.

First, and probably most importantly, please don?t look past the people in your own church or congregation.

Why? It?s by far your greatest Christian asset, besides your faith in the Lord.

Because many times, you?ll be given the opportunity to share your situation in a public forum where there are people who know you, who trust you and who can create an opportunity for you to alleviate whatever short term financial problems you may have.

They may even help you create your own Christian home based business.

For instance, I remember a young woman in my church who had a growing family. The husband didn?t attend services much, but the young woman was a very committed. Sometimes she attended church three or more times a week?once for Sunday morning services, once for Sunday evening services and even for Wednesday night Bible study.

She was a model Christian woman. But as you know, the Lord tests our faith in Him, even and especially the most faithful.

One Sunday evening, this woman openly prayed before the congregation of 100 people present for help. She was pregnant about three months, and the family had no health insurance. She had to prepare financially because her husband?s salary wasn?t going to cover the hospitalization.

Her pray was very moving. What did she say?

Basically, she shared how grateful she was to the Lord for placing her in a church where people cared. One where there was harmony, charity and unconditional love. It was very touching.

And then she said something I?ll never forget: She said she wanted to give even more. That the Lord had blessed her with another child.

Her only request was that the Lord give her the opportunity to be of service to someone in the church, someone who would look past the need to work in an office or factory, and would be willing to let her take care of her family at home while doing work that was meaningful and would make a difference.

In other words, although she didn?t say like this, she prayed for a Christian home based business.

Astonishingly, it inspired one of the elders, a small business owner, to contract some light bookkeeping to her on an hourly basis. As they got started, he became very impressed with the quality of her work and soon began referring her services to other members in the church, as well as the community.

He became her biggest benefactor?she liked to say he was her ?angel?.

So when the time came, she had a sizable financial reserve saved and could afford the best healthcare and hospitalization services required for her healthy newborn baby.

And she named the baby after the elder.

So in closing, the Lord does work ?in mysterious ways?, but giving your church an opportunity to help you build your own Christian home based business is one of the best ways to grow even stronger in the church and in the service of the Lord.

I started looking for viable work at home opportunities back in
2001. It was a time consuming process, but in retrospect, I give
myself a pat on the back every month when I cash the check from
my home based business. The purpose of this article is to
perhaps help others make their selection with a little less time
and effort than I had to expend.

Having spent many years running traditional “bricks and mortar”
type businesses, I didn’t buy for one second the numerous heavily
hyped, or worse yet, scam operations that touted the instant and
fantastic riches that could be achieved (often with little or no
effort required). While doing my research as to which business
I would eventually pursue, this type of claim became an instant
trigger for me to move on to check out some other “opportunity”.

I mean, give me a break, if those claims were close to being
true, why would they share their “secret” with anyone else?
They would just execute their “magic system” and in short order
would have made all the money that exists in the world…yeah,
right!

In the course of my investigations, a few other natural filters
surfaced to help me narrow down the realistic and legitimate
opportunities from among the far too numerous unfounded offers.
Early on, I determined that the “get in on the ground floor”
offers were essentially smoke. After all, if I wanted to take
a chance on the lottery, I would have purchased a ticket.
Because of my business management experience, it soon became
clear to me that three of the primary factors that would
influence my choice would be:

*successful longevity (how long has this particular company
been successfully doing business?)

*reasonable income expectations touted by the top management
of the company offering the opportunity.

*support systems and training resources available to help the
participants succeed.

One thing that really struck home with me was a statement made
by the founder of the company that I eventually selected for
my home based business. It went something like the following:

“Hardly a day goes by that I dont hear from an affiliate
questioning why he or she is not seeing a big check yet. More
times than not, the person asking hasnt even been involved
for more than 90 days and is only barely beginning to even
understand how the whole system works. And frankly, even if
the number was six months, its still much too early to be
expecting a significant income stream to have developed.

I always say that if youre not willing to give a business at
least a year, dont even bother getting involved. You need to
understand that it takes time to get to know all the nuances of
the compensation plan. It takes time to determine which products
you want to lead with. It takes time to develop a game plan. It
takes time to figure out what marketing activities deliver the
biggest bang for the buck. Anything worthwhile takes sustained
effort. If youre not thinking long term, youve set yourself up
for failure.”

To sum it up, the selection process should focus on reality
(there is no “magic” in home based businesses) and reject any
so-called “opportunities” that seem too good to be true.
