You Need To Decide To Keep Learning Online!

Are You Decisive? If you're not, it going to be a long, disappointing road. I have been online pursuing opportunities now for some time now.

And you know what? I've made a lot of decisions along the way.

Some of those decisions were the right ones, but many were also the wrong ones.

The decisions we make define us.

There are a lot of opportunities out there that will promise you riches beyond your wildest imaginations.

That's great! Except it's not that simple.

I don't care what it is, it will take hard work, commitment and Decisions...

As an example, let's say you decide your opportunity is to set up a website to sell golden widgets.

How would you approach this. Would you just set up a site and boom the checks will start rolling in!?

No. First you have decide how the website is going to be set up. Are you going to build it yourself?

 If so, what's best for your website? Do you want it set it up in PHP or do you want to use CSS?

What editor will you use? Front Page? Or are you going to decide to hire someone to build it for you?

How will you lay it out? Do you have a logo? Do you need one? What color scheme are you going to use?

Do you know the effect of color on your visitors? How do you decide?

What eCommerce solution is best for you? Consider your monthly volume.

If it is going to be over $1,000, a merchant account is usually a good choice.

You may consider Paypal in conjunction with a merchant account, it just got better by making it open to over 5 new countries Nigeria being one of them as this country has a lot of prospects, despite the challenges it's facing.

If you do consider a merchant account, you also need to look into electronic payment gateways.

Then you have to market the products... Are you going to use pop-ups?

Are you going to advertise with Adwords, Banners, E-zines...

What's my Point!? You are going to have to make the right decisions for your business.

There are a lot of steps from getting an idea to building the proper platform for the idea and executing it. Your decisions will ultimately lead to an end result.

Did it work? Are you making money?... or is it a do over?

When you decide to pursue an opportunity, that is the decision that will trigger the rest of them.

You must learn to decide. Indecision will find you broke and discouraged..

There is a lot of potentials online.

The best way to insure your success is to make sure you create multiple streams of income.

Doing a combination of things can really help.

Having a newsletter will allow you to capture visitors and down the road convert them to a sale.

Not everyone buys on the first visit to your website.

Adsense is another good source of income.

You have to have some good traffic to make a lot of money, but I was surprised when I started using it as a strategy throughout my websites.

Hey, even if its another 30, 40 or 50 dollars a month, it can pay some of your expenses.

 Submitting to directories is a great way to get the Search Engines to take notice.

I do not recommend too much submissions to Search Engines anymore.

You can get crawled by the Search Engine Spider much quicker by getting some links coming into your website.

Search engine spiders follow links off of websites.

So if a link to your website is on another site that gets spidered regularly, you're all set!

Writing articles can get you a little traffic rolling as well.

And it's a great way to establish yourself as an expert in your field.

The inbound links also help with your position in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS).

Everyone can make a living online. It's takes a lot of hard work sometimes.

Many people fail before they find good income, but it is possible for everyone.

Keep learning. I learn something new everyday. I hang out in forums, read articles, eBooks etc...

 I'm continually soaking up information. You have to to keep up with your competition.

Just go out there and do it; I'll see you at the top!

Best wishes.

Content, Fresh Content ... All The Way

What if you wrote an article a day?  What if you added a few hundred words a day to your website? Could you do it?

 

Not everyone could. Your brain has to come up with this stuff... Here's an idea. What is your website or blog about? Is it about chickens? 

 

Let's say it's about chickens... Sit down and write out a list of topics that you could talk about related to chickens or The farm.....Then ........Brainstorm away... Can't think of anything! Do a search: Google.com Still can't think of anything! 

 

Remember that place you used to go to in school? Maybe you still do. That big building with all the books.... The Library! Go to your local library and collect all the books on chickens . Take those books and make a list of all the topics related to chickens or poultry. 

 

Now there be a lot of chicken topics. You definitely should narrow it down to a niche topic or two. The more niched the better. You'll be able to target your audience better and the Search Engines will like you better if you're focused. Now, got your list..... Wait, wait... hey... Sorry, one of your class mates dozed off...

Where was I?
Oh, yea, your list. Now take that list and put that list in order of relevancy. Focus on the topics that are related to what your website is about? As time goes on you'll add to this list. When new products come onto the scene. When your subject's in the news... Maybe some of the topics will be broken into several sessions... 

 

Then each day grab a topic off your list and write about it! What are you going to say? Don't worry about it. Just start typing. It'll come. You have to learn to let go. Relax. Let your mind do the typing. 

 

If you need to, write out an outline first, but then just go. It may not be perfect. You may have to fine tune it after you're done, but you'll have done it! You acted. You'll get better as time goes on. 

You don't have to do much. 300-400 words a day would be enough. Just enough for the search engines to find some new content. Pay some attention to a few keywords. Try to optimize a little for those. In other words, maybe repeat the main words or phrases of the topic a few times. If you're talking chicken feed, mention the phrase chicken feed a few times. 

 

Then the search engines will know what your little article or content is about. You will probably only need to set aside a half hour a day once you get good at it. That doesn't include making sure the page URL matches your keywords, your meta tags match your keywords and things like that. 

 

You see this post you are reading. When I started typing, I had No idea what I was going to type about!  Seriously,.....True story. 

 

But it came write out of me. I wrote the Title... Content, Fresh Content, All the Way ... And I started typing. How long did it take me? I think about 10 minutes.... Wow am done for Today! Have a Productive Day !

How To Motivate Yourself Forever

Just as willpower is an essential factor in achieving success, at some point in time, discouragement and lack of motivation may hinder you from reaching your objective.
And it is up to you, and you alone to devise techniques that will help you keep that drive within afire. It is helpful to have visual goals. whatsoever that is you are working towards, make it visual.
 It maybe something material like a car, or a vacation you have been looking forward to for the longest time. Take or cut out a picture of it and post it at a conspicuous place at work or at home where you can see it often. So that when you feel discouraged, this will remind you of your goal and will help you keep your spotlight. Make a contract with oneself. According to motivational researches, people who write down to-do-lists are far more triumphant in achieving their intended goals than those people who just keep mental lists instead. Putting something in writing somehow makes it more powerful psychologically speaking. This may also be the basis why most cultures have such a high regard in honoring contracts.
In the contract, you may also include a certain reward that you will give yourself once you have accomplished the task. After all, everyone likes to be rewarded for completing a good job.
Even a simple pat on the back, “good job”, or “thank you” may do the trick to give the person the additional push to carry on, but unfortunately, these may not always be readily available. Considering that these are also essential in keeping oneself motivated, you must learn to find a way to get that encouragement on your own through pleasing yourself.
Abusive people lower your self-esteem and bring you down. Get these negative people out of your life. Surround yourself with positive people.
Imitate their example. Smile amply and think happy thoughts. These will give you a brighter outlook and lets you see a clearer picture of what you really want and a fresh mind to know what steps to take to get there. Rather than wait for things to happen, try to be proactive and MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
 Inactivity idles the brain and stagnates your potential to reach your goals. Read inspirational books and literature. These will help you improve your attitude and heal your mind. A book of success stories also proves to be encouraging. You will not only learn from others' experiences and derive confidence boosting insights from them but the story will be instrumental in motivating you to go for your goal and move ahead with your plans.
If this still seems to falter, get training or education. Oftentimes, not knowing how or where to start is frustrating. Knowledge is power. Having a clear understanding of how and where to start is empowering and it will provide the extra drive needed to hit the mark you are aiming at and follow it through. Having enumerated all these tips and tricks to attain self-motivation, but still you seem to feel lacking that much needed drive, there is one last thing that you must try.
Whatever it is that you have been meaning to do, or wanting to achieve, JUST DO IT! Keep on aiming high and go for it! Actually getting your hands dirty best solves the problem of motivation. By “forcing” yourself to just do it, your momentum will pick up gradually as you go along and before you know it you have finished the task or have finally achieved your goal.
Divide and conquer is the key. Break down the apparently unattainable activity to small doable steps. Not only does it become less overwhelming, but seeing the "in the meantime" results will further your confidence that it can indeed be done. Lack of motivation happens to us all, but if you do not encourage yourself to accept opportunities and be challenged, no one else will. It is most important to keep your eye on the goal, find ways to keep going, and in no time, you shall reap its benefits.  And if at the beginning you were just doing it for the material reward, you will also learn to realize that the fulfillment, satisfaction and self-achievement you derive from reaching your goal is a much enjoyable high that will keep the drive within constantly burning. Enjoy Your Day.

5 Ideas To Choose The Right MLM Software For You

With the many MLM software out there already, how do you choose the one that is right for you?

1. Choose a reputable vendor.

There are many fly-by-night software companies that make many claims of experience, know how and MLM software gadgetry.

Unless you are willing to put your business at risk, choose a vendor that has a proven track record.

Track records are built over many years of working with Direct Selling companies, not just selling a software package a few times.

Check out at least six references. Remember that vendors will be eager to provide only their best references.

You might be surprised to find a different story when you call companies not included in the reference list.

2. Visit the MLM software company's office.

You not only choose the MLM software but also choose the vendor's support services.

If the vendor is not able to provide support services acceptably, what will you do when you need to change your compensation plan or add a new input field to the order entry screen?

Remember that there is only one constant among all MLM companies; they constantly change things.

And your MLM software will need to be changed as well.

At the vendor's office, meet the vendor's people that will service you.

See what kind of people they are and how long they have worked for the vendor.

3. Be willing to pay for experience and competence. You are paying far less in the long run.

Avoid small MLM software companies.

Small software companies, to compete with larger established firms, must offer software at bargain prices.

This often puts them on shaky financial ground during their most critical years.

Companies that are trying to save money by purchasing an MLM software from these small software houses find themselves virtually abandoned later on when they need assistance.

The problem is that servicing one highly successful client can consume virtually all of the human resources of a small software company leaving the other clients out in the cold.

The more deadly problem is that smaller companies tend to go out of business without warning.

If you value your business, stay away from the small vendors and stick to those with staying power and track records.

4. Buy an MLM software package that allows you to create your own reports.

Many packages force you to live only with those reports they put on the menus.

Managers must resort to running large reports to answer small questions or concerns instead of small exception reports on demand. Small exception reports can be reviewed quickly and accurately.

5. Compare features.

MLM software is designed to handle specific business issues and often has a great deal of difficulty dealing with matters outside the original design.

It's difficult to force a software to do things it was never intended to do.

Wise computer buyers compare features and capabilities, side by side, of one package to another. Ask the vendor which features they consider are unique to their package compared to others.

Remember that you are not just buying a computer; you are buying software, expertise, emergency support services, programming services, and starting a long-term relationship.

Choose your MLM software vendor wisely. Do not be tempted to penny pinch in the computer area.

If you do, you may cripple your chances for success.

Have a nice day.

The View Inside Opt In MLM Leads

The factors behind opt in MLM leads is to be inside, where the good stuff is located.

The situation would be like this; you outside of the opt in MLM leads industry, wanting to get in. to get the inside scoop of the leads business.

If you knew what actually went on in some arenas, you may think the inside scoop looks like this picture.

 

How are opt in MLM leads generated?

For the most part, opt in MLM leads are generated over the Internet.

While there is no definite study to prove this matter, it is safe to assume that 85-90% of all leads you find for sale are originated on the Internet.

There are two main reasons for this. First, the Internet is where most people are doing their research today when looking for jobs, looking for ways to make extra money, something to invest on, etc.

So, why not go where the people are looking?

Second, it is the most cost effective way of generating opt in MLM leads.

Surely, a person is surfing the Internet, doing a Google search, and checking out their options for ways to make extra income.

Or, sometimes the person is not even thinking about wanting more money when an online ad catches their attention and they check it out. So, they fill out a form and hit submit.

That is the basics behind online opt in MLM lead generation. Some person is out there surfing the Net.

There is an online ad and a form. Filled out and submit. Then they are now a prospect waiting to be sold.

Quite a nice system. Wouldn’t we all like to receive a batch of opt in MLM leads after people had been surfing the Internet for ways of making money from home.

Now you have their name, phone, and E-mail address in your hands.

But there are some variables that can make a big difference in the type of opt in MLM leads you are holding in your hands.

Incentivized opt in MLM leads.

One of the biggest problems that exists among the Internet lead generation business is the incentives that entices a person to fill out a form and submit.

If you have purchased opt in MLM leads long enough, then you have probably come across the person who did not know they were going to be contacted about a home business.

 Instead they thought they were going to get a new Video iPod, $10,000, or a vacation cruise.

Furthermore, as much as you can afford, enroll yourself for formal training. If you’re gifted in music, for instance, try to enroll at a music school.

It will be of great help if you enroll at a formal institution that will help you excel in your area of giftedness.

So, what do you do? You go to an opt in MLM leads company and you buy a batch of leads.
The leads are $2.25 each, so you buy 50 of them for $112.50.

There is a chance you may find a good prospect in there, one that will be targeted to the product or service that you are offering.

No opt in MLM lead is ever pure because you do not know what other sites the prospect has been to, filling out forms, and checking out other businesses.

However, if you are going to invest in opt in MLM leads,  it is worth a few extra minutes of research or an email or phone call to the owners; to know what kind of leads you are purchasing.

Opt in MLM leads are all about results. So go ask and test first.

4 Tips To Get A Good Coach For MLM Training

Of course this will involve doing a little background check on the team leader you choose to work with. But in the end, it will be a time worth spending.

Here are a few pointers that will help you when seeking out the “correct coach” who will assist you in your multi level marketing (MLM) training.

1. Make sure that he or she has a proven track record.

A gifted leader will also prove his or her worth in the results produced.

Generally speaking, you will not rise higher than your leader, so know how high you want to reach and find a coach who can get you there.

2. Go with someone who has been training in MLM for many years.

You want a leader who will be like the northern star; bright and steady.

Those who are successful network marketers are people who stay for the long haul.

Many people give up too quickly and never reap the harvest.

Choose a leader who has experienced some bumps in MLM and can now be selective in choosing a company that is most likely to remain out of the MLM graveyard.

3. Find someone who knows how to market.

Network marketing is just that: marketing through networking.

An essential part of the equation therefore is the effective marketing of your business. 

Marketing can eat up a small budget very quickly.

Therefore, you must learn from the MLM training works from what does not work so that you can use your advertising dollars most effectively.

The name of the game is maximum returns for your money.

Leverage is the whole idea behind network marketing. This translates into small effort and great gain.

Find someone who can train you on how to use MLM tools such as teleconferencing, voice mail, direct mail, the Internet and broadcast media.

This is a business so you have to treat it like one.

4. Find someone who continuously studies the industry.

Anyone who claims to be a professional will subscribe to magazines in his area of expertise, attend seminars to keep abreast of what’s happening and keep his MLM training pulse on the industry.

Choose wisely. The right opportunity and company may be the vehicle to your success but an effective MLM training coach is like gas in your tank.

Remember that we are already in the new millennium, people.

And the training in MLM that we have today had already grown pass those times.

Some of the more successful marketers have the fortune to have undergone the proper MLM training to make them more profitable than others. 

The secret is choosing a team with an experienced coach who will teach, guide and motivate you towards success.

Of course there are other factors to consider such as the financial backing of the company, timing, the compensation plan and marketing a consumable product.

But if you are not properly trained and motivated during those early months you are almost doomed to failure.

But think about it. Every professional business person or athlete has a coach to aid in the training.

 Why should it be different in multi level marketing?

 In multi level marketing, you can start your business for less than $400 and literally choose the coach or leader who will be training you. 

Many people are still saddled with antiquated MLM training and ideas of how the old multi level companies were run in the 90’s.

All The Best.

Four (4) Types Of People In Multi Level Marketing Business

But there are some shared personality traits that are common to those who have started
and operated in MLM (Multi Level Marketing) already. One of the most common personalities inherent among MLM business people is their entrepreneurial spirit. What are some of these traits that make up an MLM  entrepreneur?
1. Self-starter.
Self-starters are the type of people who do not just sit around thinking about something over and over again.

Yet no action is taken to get things done. They decide on what needs to be done and simply do it. Take this example. You are in need of your own MLM website but income limits you from just hiring a web design company to make that site. As a self-starter, you would go to work about gathering all the information pertinent to web design and development. Then you would develop and design your site. In the end you would have a website that you have developed yourself. One vital trait of a self-starter it to know their strengths and weaknesses and be able to accept them.
2. Self-motivated.
The self-motivated MLM individual has a lot of motivation and drive. Because each person is a unique being, one person's motivations may be different from everyone else's. For example, your motivation for starting your MLM business could be to earn $500 or $1,000 per month or $10,000 or $20,000 per month. Or it could be that you want to home school your kids, and that requires earning an income working from home. Your level of motivation to a large measure will be dependent up on your purpose and level of commitment. It depends on how big your dream is.

3. Creative.
The creative individual has a lot of great ideas. They are usually able to come up with good ideas and problem solving solutions. Many of their ideas are often the results of listening and observing other business that is related to MLM. They focus on finding solutions, rather than dwelling on the challenges. For example, if you have a limited advertising budget, you would get to work finding all the available free advertising avenues instead to thinking over and over how limited your budget is. Your creativity would result in expanding your MLM advertising program. You would also have the knowledge from research. Thus, resolving the problem and creating an additional income.

4. Self-disciplined.

The self-disciplined individual is one who does not need someone standing over. Or having someone tells them what, how and when to do.  They do not need anyone telling to get something done. They are able to determine what needs to be done, then set aside time to do it. An MLM business may fail, many do first time around. But the self-disciplined individual does not accept that they are a failure. They simply learn from the mistakes and use them as a tool to attain success. As an entrepreneur in MLM  you should be able to adapt. You will find yourself playing different roles such as: marketer, promoter, public relations, motivator, sponsor, Webmaster and so forth. You are not afraid of chance and are opened and flexible to them. Successful businesses are not built over night but over time. As a MLM  entrepreneur you are willing to go the extra mile, put forth the time and effort needed to build a successful business organization. Stay safe and have a wonderful day.

4 Quality Skills For Success In MLM Personal Finance

Consider this important factor, Having the right skills will get you far in this business.  But with the wrong attitude, how long do you think your personal finance in MLM will stay that way? As with all aspects in life, there are things needed in life beside know-how’s.

So it is not really surprising that in the world of MLM, attitude is the strongest determinant of your personal finance success. Business structure, compensation plan, product and training systems are all important. 

But without the right attitude, they are just tools lying unused in a tool box – they don’t end up building any real-time personal finance in MLM.

It makes sense for those who are just new to building personal finance in MLM to focus on this all-important aspect. That is, if they want to be successful. The only question left is what kind of attitude you should focus on.

1. Be Coachable. There’s no quicker way to fail in the world of MLM personal finance than to walk into a business assuming you already know what is going to work and what would not. It is true that different people have different strengths. And different methods work better for some than for others.

 But it is important to remember that if great profits have been made in MLM personal finance, it can be done again. Get alongside as many of your successful upline as you can. 

Ask them how you can make your business work, listen to what they say, and then follow through on their suggestions. If something does not seem to be working, get alongside them again. Ask them what you could be doing differently, rather than assuming the concept itself is flawed.

2. Understand your purpose.

While there may well be people who get into MLM because they genuinely enjoy the challenges of the sales process, most sign up in this business because it had potential to help then achieve something big in their personal finance and in their lives.

Whether these people saw the potential to provide for their families, to create a financially secure future for themselves, or just to finally be debt-free, there is something in the original opportunity that inspired them to get involved.

3. Their own purpose. 

A big part of motivating people to do the work that needs to be done in MLM is keeping that purpose at the forefront of their minds. If a person wants to get there, he or she got to do what it takes.

4. Stay positive.
Achieving MLM personal finance success is related to developing the ability to stay positive.  Like anything else, there will be ups and downs along the process. 

Staying positive through the downs would not just make you more successful in the long run; it will make life far more enjoyable while you are getting there. 

There you have it. The keys to developing an attitude that will lead you to your MLM personal success. The great thing about attitude determining your success? 

It is the one thing you have complete control over.  You may not be able to do anything to change your company’s business structure, compensation plan, product or training systems, but you can always change your attitude. Make a commitment to yourself. 

Learn what you need to learn to change what you need to change.Your MLM personal finance success will depend on it. Have a Great Day.

5 Important Traits To Check In A Multi Level Marketing Consultant

Multi Level Marketing (MLM)  consultants have gotten to be a popular figure in the network marketing business.

There are many good ones out there, and there are not so good ones as well. You must know what to look for, before you spend a dime on them.

You should know that some MLM consultants are actually network marketers that say they are consultants.

You must understand that consulting is a career and profession that demands many things.

Being a network marketer does not automatically qualify one as an expert, even if they have had great success in MLM.



Maybe they were just in the right place at the right time and with the right people. That can happen also.

Here are five things to look for in a good MLM consultant.

1. A track record that is available for inspection.

Any good MLM consultant will keep their track record available for any kind of inspection by a future client.

They have nothing to hide, they do not want to in the first place. The results they have accomplished speak for themselves.

Ask them if they have some clients you could talk to or get some kind of testimonial.

 Track records in consulting can mean the difference between spending money and getting little or spending money and getting a lot.

Check what they have done and not what they said they have done.

2. Check for their credentials.

What kind of solid credentials do they have that would warrant you spending money with them?

What kind of education about MLM do they have? What are their work experiences?

Do they have the right business experience? Have they ever run a business before? What kind of degree do they have?

Credentials are important in modern day consulting.

 This is not only for you but also for the results you seek from an MLM consultant.

 Most consultants have a portfolio they can show you. Ask for it and study it.

3. Look for professionalism.

Professionalism is a must in any field of consulting. Do they come across as a professional?

Do they speak as a professional? Do they communicate in a professional manner?

Being a professional speaks well of a consultant. Do they do their business with a smile on their face?

These questions will tell a lot about an MLM consultant and how they will handle things in any future venture.

4) Problem solver.

Do they ask questions that are focused on your problem, or questions that are focused on being a consultant?

There are many questions that consultants ask that are all part of being an MLM consultant.

You are looking to hire them to solve a problem, not be a consultant.

 Make sure their questions are focused on moving you forward, not just creating conversation.

That is what MLM consultants get paid for- to solve problems, not to engage in a fruitless exercise.

5) Experienced in the MLM business.

It is true that there are MLM consultants that have never spent an hour in the MLM field.

They have never recruited anyone. They have never sold a product in MLM.

They have never held a Company Event for a team.

 They have never done a presentation around a kitchen table, or a home meeting.

But yet, they consider themselves as an MLM consultant.

Make sure that the MLM consultant has some experience in the field, as that alone brings a wealth of knowledge that many do not have.

4 Steps To Run A Multi Level Marketing Business Opportunity

Is it possible to get involved in a home-based Multi level Marketing business opportunity over the Internet? Why not? The “yes” will answer you right in front of your face.
Everything is possible with the participation of Internet especially in the modern business transactions.
But is home-based business opportunity feasible and profitable? How can one succeed in this kind of business?

Are you ready to take a ride into the four-step procedures toward a successful home-based business?
Here they are:
Step number 1. Recruit First
Why do you have to recruit first instead of doing other things?
Home-based business opportunities are network marketing. It is composed of uplines and downlines.
Uplines are independent representatives who recruit another independent representative which they will use in the direct selling of goods and services to customers.
 Put simply, the recruiter is the upline. They get their commission on the sales of the other independent representatives.
On the other hand, the recruited independent representatives are the downlines.
 Home-based business opportunity is a commission-based joint effort of uplines and downlines.
That is the main reason why both uplines and downlines must work together.
Without the other, the whole business force will be paralyzed. It will not function.
What does this mean? Both parties share the same level of importance or significance to the group.
Try to imagine a home-based MLM business opportunity without uplines and downlines?

It does not seem right, isn’t it? You’re going to have these four (4) “NO”:
If you do not have recruited independent representatives or if they are not working effectively, there will be no income, no consumption of products and services, no one to market the products and services and no one will cater the customers.

Step number 2. Maintain the minimum sales required.
Home-based business opportunities are so simple yet requires careful analysis of the sales income.
You have to be a mathematician on this part to be able to tally your expenses and revenues.
Everyday, independent representatives market the products and services.
 So make it a habit to tally the income entering everyday and the expenses leaving every hour.


Step number 3. Monitor the consumption of products and services.
Check your inventory. There is no further explanation needed as it is stated clearly enough.
This simply means maintaining the minimum stock of products available to avoid having an empty or void stock.

Step number 4. Train your downlines regularly.
In every field, learning is always a requirement. Even if you are a teacher, you still need to study and learn.
The thing here is to have a constant training schedule for the downlines. Study shows that a well-instructed downline creates a big difference than the downline with stagnant information in mind.
Constant study really pays at the end. Some of the recommended topics are proper customer treatment, how to communicate effectively, business ethics, and everything that is needed to help them as well as your home-based MLM business.
If you have already taken into account all the procedures needed to have a successful home-based MLM business opportunity, you are now ready towards establishing that career path.
The formulas are already in your hands. All that is needed now is to get it into effect.
The only thing missing to complete the home-based business opportunity is you.
Stay Safe and have a great day.

How To Make Business Management Decisions

The people, who make decisions in Accounting or Business, mostly make it based on three categories. 

First, people who manage a business, second, the external people of a business who have a direct financial interest to a business, and third the people and organizations that have an indirect effect on a business. 

This applies to non profit organizations as well. Management refers to the group of people who are in charge for operating a business and for measuring up to the profitability and liquidity goals. 

If a business is extremely large, then the management will most often require more than one person, and the people are hired to perform their job.

Managers need to answer important questions such as what was the company’s net income, and if they have a substantial rate of return.
Does the company have enough assets, and which products bring in the most money? When making a decision, managers usually follow a systematic approach. 

Even though larger businesses require a more concrete analysis, they follow a similar pattern to small businesses.

Financing a business:  Financing for a company is critical, because they need that money to continue their operations. 
 Here is a nice website to find out more information about financing a business. http://www.sba.gov/financing/

Investing in a business:   Companies invest in their current assets so that it will make money for them in the future.  

Producing goods or services: Operations and production management is responsible for developing and producing goods and services that the company can sell.

Marketing: Learning marketing and advertising skills so that they can distribute goods and services more efficiently.

Managing workers:  Human resource management requires the hiring of qualified employees, and also paying them.

Providing information: The information management retrieves data about the company such as how much they made in the last month, and organize the information in a way so that it can be used.
It also releases information to managers, and to important people outside the business.

Another group of individuals that needs knowledge in accounting is those you have a direct interest in the business, go figures.  

They use the information to analyze how a business is performing. Most businesses generally publish their financial report which shows how well they meet their profitability and liquidity goals.
These statements display how well a company did in the past and probably most important, how well they will do in the future.  

However, many people outside the business also study the financial reports.  They are the investors and the creditors. 

The investors are the individuals that invest in a business and will keep a part of the ownership.
They are concerned with their past success and failures, and also will like to know the potential earnings. A concrete analysis of the financial statement will help prospective investors base their decisions. 

Once they finish investing they must continue to study a business financial statement.  Next, the creditors are the companies that lease money to businesses for short or long term needs.

  Creditors are the people that deliver money or provide services for companies in advanced before getting paid. Their main concern is whether a business will have the money to repay the money with interest in an approximate time.

 Some of the things they study before they make their decisions are a company’s liquidity, cash flow, and profitability. Some examples of creditors are banks, mortgage companies, and insurance companies.

Over the years the shift of people who used accounting information has varied drastically. Now, it is heavily used by governmental agencies, and in matter of fact taxes is the main source of income for government. 

According to the rules and regulations of federal, state, or even local laws, individuals and companies are required to pay a variety of taxes. These include but are not limited to, sales tax, excise tax, social security tax, federal, state, payroll, and city income taxes. Each tax requires there own rules and regulations which can be very confusing at times.  

Reporting your taxes is a law and a very meticulous and tedious process. For example, The Internal Revenue Code contains over a thousand rules for delivering accounting information in federal income taxes. 

  Also, most companies generally have to report to one or more regulating agencies in the United States All corporations must answer to the Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC(To find out more information visit there website at http://www.sec.gov/). This is set up by the government to insure and protect the public by regulating the buying and selling of stocks.  

Companies that are listed on the Stock exchange must adhere to the rules and regulations. 
Some other groups such as labor unions analyze the financial statements of corporations to help negotiate a contact.

 The income of a company plays a major role in forming these contracts. The individuals who give advice to investors and creditors such as brokers and financial analysts have an indirect financial interest in a business.  

The amount of interest in the financial health of corporations has been growing by consumer groups such as customers and the public. They are also concerned about how the corporation will affect the social patterns of the environment and of the people that reside in that area.  

The President’s Council of Economic Advisers and the Federal Reserve Board use accounting information to set economic policies and programs.  It’s interesting to note that about thirty percent of the businesses in the United States consist of non profit organizations. 

Some examples of non profit organizations (NPO) include hospitals, and universities. Some well known non profit organizations include Red Cross, YMCA, Better Business Bureau, and WWF(World Wildlife fund, was formerly in a lawsuit and won against WWE World Wrestling Entertainment, which was originally known as World Wrestling Federation). 

You may think that the managers of these organizations don’t need to know their accounting skills but they do.

 They still have a budget and needs to raise money just like any other business.  They raise money by collecting it from creditors, donors, and even investors. They also need to have a nice plan and to pay creditors back in an efficient manner, and they also have to follow the tax rules.

 So even though businesses and non profit organizations have different agendas they both generally follow the same basic rules.  Accounting is a systematic information system that measures, process, and communicate information, I particular financial. 

When an accountant is making a measurement they must answer four simple questions. First, what is being measured, second when should a measurement be made, third how much money should be placed on what is being measured, and last how the measurement should be classified. 

These four questions deal with the basic rules of accounting, and the answers help establish what accounting is and what it is not.

Accountants in different fields challenge these questions every day, and therefore the answers are changing often so that’s why it’s a good idea to keep to date with some of the trends.

The first question deals with what is measured. Consider a machine that makes clothes.

 How many different measurements of this machine can you make? Well, you can measure how much it costs, how many t shirts it can produce, and how quickly it can produce the t shirts. 

Some of these measurements are extremely important to accounting and some of them are irrelevant. 

Financial accounting will use money to see how business transactions affect other businesses and corporations.
