I read a statistic the other day that said 23% of the US population telecommuted at least part-time! Wow...that's a lot of people. Couple that with the 20 million home-based businesses and you've got people all over the place who are successfully working at home. So why do some people insist that working at home doesn't happen? I received an email last week in which I was told no one works at home. Huh? Let's see...I'm in my jammies, typing on my computer, and I just got a direct deposit from a company for work I'd done. I think that constitutes working at home.
I don't really blame this person. When I wanted to work at home (way back when) the Internet was hardly known about and I never ran into home based workers. Today it's much different. Not only can you find people successfully working at home online, but you can run into them on the street. Working at home is visible if you take the time to watch for it and talk to people.
If you haven't found a way to work at home, don't lose hope.
Research and talk to people so you can learn what working at home really involves (hint: there is no envelope stuffing). Tap into your skills, interests and hobbies and turn them into income. Make a plan and stick to the plan. There is no doubt that working can happen for you, but you have to want it and work for it.

Need Financial Security? Start a Business Say Financial Experts
© 2007 Leslie Truex
I have been reading books on financial security for over 15 years. The first books I read (way back in the last millennium) discussed taking advantage of employer sponsored retirement plans, investing in 401(k)’s, and buying real estate. Today, much of this advice is changing. While financial gurus still recommend these investment strategies, they are recognizing that companies are cutting or eliminating retirement plans, and that many people don’t have the extra cash needed to invest in stocks or real estate. Financial and money making experts such as Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad), David Bach (Finish Rich), Loral Langemeier (Millionaire Maker), and even Donald Trump are recommending starting a business, even a direct selling business, as part of creating a secure financial future.
Twenty years ago, home businesses, particularly those with a direct selling company were something bored stay-at-home moms started or crazy uncle Bob tried to recruit the family into. But as jobs have dried up, people are being forced to take control of their finances and the best way to do that is through a business. A home business can be started in your spare time and run during off-hours. Further, you can get started for just a few bucks (depending on what you decide to do). As long as you do your research, and develop and follow a good plan, you can make a few extra dollars or even a fortune with your own business.
What’s really exciting is that with tools and resources available to entrepreneurs today, people are being able to turn their interests and talents into income almost overnight. Moms are inventing gadgets that make life easier for them and making a fortune. College students are turning their interests in music and movies into profitable eBay businesses. Hobbies such as cars, gardening, celebrity watching, scrap booking, cooking, crafting, star gazing and more are being turned into money-making machines for millions of people.
You can and should join them. What are your hobbies? What are your passions? What are you good at? With a little elbow grease and good plan, you can turn these talents into a service business, product sales or online content supported through advertising and affiliate programs starting today!

Your Elevator Speech in 5 Simple Steps by Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero
Last week I had a meeting with a very well-known motivational speaker. I had met him before at a seminar and interviewed him over the phone for a book, so I felt somewhat comfortable. While on the phone interview, I told him I wanted to write for him. He was surprisingly very open to it. As an idea guy, he was bursting with brilliance but short on staff. We discussed possibilities and soon I was set up with a project. Once I finished, I knew there were many others sitting in his office waiting to be sold. But he was so busy I couldn't connect with him. So, I planned a shopping day near his office (an hour away from me) and asked if I could drop by. Fortunately, his schedule had an opening!
I had a little trouble navigating to the offices and was late, which I hate. He had lunch ready for us in a conference room where we could chat. After showing me around, he asked me to deliver my 30 second "elevator speech." You know, how you would explain what you do to a stranger in 30 seconds or less.
I didn't have one.
If you think my hair is red, you should have seen my entire face and neck. I turned a noticeably deep shade of scarlet. He looked dumbfounded. Fortunately, he was able to glean enough of what he needed through our conversation to figure out how I sell myself (obviously, not very well that day). I learned my lesson. I went home and wrote my elevator speech that night. I suggest you do the same. See my instructions below.
YOUR ELEVATOR SPEECH - STEP-BY-STEP
An "elevator speech" is a short synopsis of your business that can potentially get you clients. It shouldn't take any longer to deliver than the time you would spend going between floors in an elevator - roughly 30 seconds. If you have an enticing opening, people often want to know more. Then you reel 'em in.
When crafting your elevator speech, remember to include the "what's in it for me" factor. They don't really care what you do. They want to know what's in it for them. How can you help them?
1. Identify your target market at the beginning of your speech. Don't be afraid to be narrow. Having a niche is preferable, as you probably already know. Everyone can't be your client.
2. Identify the problem you solve for your target market. This should provoke curiosity. "I help widget manufacturers who have a hard time increasing their sales."
3. Expound on how you solve that problem. What techniques do you use? What are some examples of your results for other clients? Know statistics about trends in their industry if possible.
4. Separate yourself out from the pack. Why is your company different than the others? Why should they hire you?
5. Practice, practice, practice saying it until it sounds natural. Otherwise you'll SOUND like you're selling and turn off the listener immediately.
Here's mine. You're welcome to use it as a template, but please don't copy it word for word. It would be embarrassing to have my speech delivered back to me one day (though I would respect you for having one at all!)
"I work with entrepreneurs who are having trouble increasing their sales. So I woo their customers into buying by using persuasive language - I'm a copywriter. Since sales are all about relationships, I write copy that builds trust and loyalty to my clients by using the right words. I start by learning all about their business and competition. Then I don't waste anybody's time because, I know going in what works and what doesn't. There are certain techniques and psychological factors that can dramatically increase sales. I know them."
