As I said before, learning how to work from home can be a very time consuming and tedious task in the beginning phases. There are 3 start up basics, or principles, as I like to call them, that you should always remember. Adhering to these 3 principles will save you time, energy, and money in the long run.
Principle 1 - Be Organized!
You will also need to be organized, determined and prepared to work hard. The reason I make this last comment is because there are lots of courses and books being pushed online that have peddle a get-quick-rich message. This is unhelpful and is a stumbling block for many. The truth is that you can make a very good living at home using the internet and after all the hard work has been done it does get easier.
The first thing I would look for in a training course is the cost. I find it amazing the prices that internet marketers place on their courses. Their costs have nothing to do with the value of their course, and everything to do with what the market will bear. Keep in mind that many people trying to work from home and make money online are desperate. They will do whatever they think is required to succeed, even to the point of paying outrageous prices for training. Internet marketers sometimes take advantage of this and charge much more than you pay for something in the real world. They can get away with it by promising huge paydays to anyone who follows their instruction. Sadly, many don't.
The second thing I would look for in a training course is whether you can make money right away. Many training courses have fantastic sales letters or videos that promise to make you huge sums of money in record time, displaying copies of their ClickBank accounts or commission checks. However, there is an assumption that you are already an internet marketer and have a system in place.
Their training is designed to further help you grow an existing business, not start one. The end result if you start with a training program that is all theory is that you will be frustrated and disappointed. If you suffer too much disappointment at the hands of these professional marketers you may decide to throw in the towel, concluding that you're not "cut out" for internet marketing.
Principle 3 - Set Boundaries When you work from home, setting boundaries is an absolute necessity. Many experts on this subject agree that you should never eat lunch at your desk. You need to take a break through-out the day. Taking breaks and/or a lunch will actually help you to stay focused and be more productive. If you stay at your desk, you're going to work, not take a break. The moral of the story....walk away from the desk! Get your mind off of work for a little while. Also, have boundaries for your family, too. If your door is closed, that means do not disturb. As I had to tell me kids, the closed door does not mean "do not disturb except when fighting over the t.v. remote. It means "Do Not Disturb" unless the house is on fire!
Remember these 3 principles of learning how to work from home and you will be off to a successful start.
