Tips, Tidbits
and Inspiration
Home Based Business: Did You Know?
By Scott LindsayDid You Know…
* About 70% of home-based businesses will last over a three-year period, compared to 29% of other business ventures, according to the Home-Based Business Institute.
* Entrepreneur magazine estimates that $427 billion is generated each year by home-based businesses. Pittsburgh Business Times reports this figure is larger than General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler combined.
* According to Entrepreneur.com more than 50% of all home-based businesses have the following office equipment; personal computer, cell phone, ink jet printer, scanner and fax machine.
* Today, women run 70% of home-based business. That figure translates to nearly 17 million. (National Center for Policy Analysis)
* According to the IDC, The typical home-based business has been in operation for 10.7 years.
* 51% of home office users are college graduates with incomes more than $40,000 (IDC/LINK).
* The number of U.S. households that have a home-based business currently exceeds 12 percent. - Office of Advocacy, Small Business Administration
* According to IDC, a top national research firm, there are between 34.3 million and 36.6 million home office households in the United States alone.
Some believe that the phenomenal growth in home-based businesses and the sizable number of women who run home-based businesses can be attributed to the belief that traditional second income jobs actually do little to improve the quality of life for the family.
The evidence comes in the form of clothing purchases, automotive wear and tear, daycare, eating out more often and, of course, taxes.
The combination of these elements makes it difficult for families to get ahead – even with a second income.
With a home-based business many of the expenses go away. Certainly there remains the tax burden, but the expenses associated with commutes, business wear, day care and perhaps even the need for a second vehicle go away.
It is estimated that home-based businesses average more than ten years in longevity. This is a much greater statistic than brick and mortar counterparts. An industrious stay-at-home mom is a business force to be reckoned with. In many cases the home-based business is lead by the wife while the rest of the family play some role in its ongoing success.
Home-based business isn’t just a good idea, it has become the means whereby many families are finding greater closeness and family purpose by swimming out of the mainstream. By creating their own current they have effectively produced a new trend with large numbers of workers seriously entertaining the idea of a home-based business.

Marketing Tips
Your Email Marketing Is Missing Th...
By Joseph RatliffNope, that is not a typo, so don’t go emailing me or anything…
This represents the appearance of the typical subject line in many email marketing campaigns. Too many characters!
Good thing I incorporated enough interest - gaining copy in the first few words, or you wouldn’t be reading this post right now. Not a good thing.
The full title to this post is actually “Your Email Marketing is Missing This Critical Piece…So it isn’t Even Being Read!”
Too long for an email subject line, which is the critical element in your email marketing that will determine whether or not your message is even opened. Most email programs can get 6 - 8 average length words in… before they use an ellipse to cut off the subject line, which allows this line to fit in the inbox.
So, when you are preparing an autoreposponder message to blast out to your list of hungry customers waiting to buy be sure to keep the subject line short. Try to think of fewer words to get the same message across. For example…
My “subject line” could be reduced to “Your emails are not being read!”
That delivers a high impact message which will compel the recipient to open and find out why their emails are not being read. This is the only purpose of the subject line in an email. Then, your message can carry it from their with high - impact, compelling copy.
And speaking of compelling copy in your message...
That is the other secret to email marketing.
You must carry the reader from the beginning of your message all the way to the end. In today's online society, that is easier said than done.
Harder than sales copy on your website as a matter of fact.
So here is a few more tips for email messages:
1) Keep it brief unless your delivering "insider secrets" that totally will absorb your reader's attention.
2) Use text to send your emails, not html. Most email programs will think your message is SPAM if you use html.
3) Give the next step. Tell the reader where to go three times in each email. A link, phone call, or other action.
That is all for this little lesson in email marketing…
