The 5 Tactics Your Home-Based Business Must Employ Immediately If You Want to Prosper in the Next 9

Here are the five golden nuggets of advice that you must listen to if you want to see your home-based business starting prospering within the next three months. 1) Get on the internet. 2) Automate and streamline any repetitive tasks. 3) Create a schedule and stick to it. 4) Invest in yourself. 5) Create profitable business relationships.
Start off with the obvious. It's the 21st century. It's time to get online. Build a website, allow customers to contact and make purchases via your website. The easier it is to get a hold of you and your product the better. But having an internet presence also means getting on networking sites, publishing articles to create links to your website, and using free advertising sites such as Craigslist.
Anything that can be automated should be. A great place to start is an e-commerce website where people can pay you without you spending a moment on the sale. Set up automatic marketing tracking, this can be done easily with online marketing solutions like AdWords. But don't let anyone tell you that a computer is better than a person. Real contacts and real business require you to make an impact of other real people.
Even if you work at home, you need to be diligent about when you get things done. With a schedule you will get more done in less time. It will also help you avoid a scattered-brained persona which will turn off potential customers, clients, and recruits.
Moving on to that persona of yours. You have to treat your own self-development like a job. You are the key to your business. As cliché as it might sound. People will not come to you if you don't have something to offer, and you aren't going to have much to offer unless you are honestly trying to build value into your own life. Find where you are lacking in knowledge and/or habits and fix it. Be critical!
Lastly, you need to be methodical about your business contacts. Keep track of who you have met and what you know about them. No detail is too small. Each detail is something that will help you build that relationship, and if you are deliberate about who you are mingling with those relationships will be your most valuable resource.
