Truthfully, there are so many home based business ideas out there that it would take all day to write about them all, so I’ve decided to just focus on what I consider to be the best. My personal favorite home based business idea that I think is the most relevant when it comes to building your home based business in this day and age…Using the Internet.The internet has been around for well over 15 years but it is still a reasonably untapped resource when it comes to marketing your business.And the truth is, out of all the people who are marketing on the internet, 90% of them have no idea what they are doing. Which leaves a 10% margin for serious entrepreneurs to really excel.But hold on a minute!If your thinking you can’t be one of the 10% of home based business owners that are doing amazing things with their businesses on the internet…You’re wrong. With the right training and a little hard work and willingness to learn some basic skills, it really isn’t as hard as you’d think.The internet seriously is the place to be marketing your home based business opportunity because you’re marketing it to the the people who are already thinking about owning their own business.I mean think about it, nowadays when people want to do research and find out information about something or more importantly, an mlm business opportunity, they don’t wait for a flyer to land in their letter box or check all the pull-tabs on their local notice board or wait for a family member to join with a company and hope that they get asked to join. No. They head straight to the internet and do their due diligence.And that is where they will find you, happily waiting to sign them up.It really can be that simple once you know what you’re doing. Especially with all the different ways that you can use free websites to your advantage…Sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube and other video sites, Ezine and other article sites, forum sites and that’s just to name a few.I know of one lady that gets 25-50 leads a day, strictly through Facebook. Imagine that. Most home based business owners using traditional methods don’t even generate 50 leads in an entire year.Like I said before, all it takes to start growing your home based business online is learning a few new skills and putting them into action.
