Ready To Work At Home?

If you are ready to work at home, the first step is to not to quit your current job yet. Unless you don't have a job, and then you are ready to begin. Many people would love to find the perfect work at home job. The truth is that there is no perfect work at home job. What there is are a lot of jobs, opportunities and ways to make money working from home available.

With the advent of computers, a work at home job has become a reality for many people. Computers have made it possible for nearly anyone to find a work at home job if they are willing to put forth the effort.

A work at home job may be able to be done in your pajamas, but it does not mean that the job will not entail actual work, and it does not mean that you will get paid to do nothing. It does mean that you can have a more flexible schedule and that you don't have to dress up to go to work or commute in traffic every day.

If you are serious about working online at home, you MUST start by following these important steps:

Search the net to find as many work at home opportunities as you can.

Sign up for some work at home newsletters to gain more information.

Network in chat rooms and forums with others who are doing the same thing. Chances are you will find something that is suitable for you as a work at home job.

Be skeptical of offers that sound too good to be true, and use your common sense when looking at work at home job offers.

Be wary of work opportunities that charge large membership or start up fees. There are plenty of online job prospects that require little funding or are totally free.

By following these steps you are providing yourself with the right tools to make an informed decision about working at home on the internet. So get started and good luck!!

Small Business Websites For Less

By Alex Johnson

Small business owners know two things - they need a website, and websites are expensive! Faced with shelling out thousands of dollars for a sleek, custom site, many businesses decide to not have any presence on the Web.

Years ago, there weren't a lot of options when you needed a website. Now, services such as Yahoo Small Business allow business owners of all levels of technical ability to easily create websites using their own text, images, and logo. For the slightly more knowledgeable, free content management systems such as Drupal and Joomla can be used to create highly functional, dynamic sites. Or, services such as TemplateMonster offer affordable, professionally designed website templates which can be customized.

For a first time site owner, I recommend the Yahoo Web Hosting service, which includes the Yahoo Web Sites as part of an affordable monthly package. Yahoo Web Sites are attractive, functional, and easy to customize. Yahoo Small Business also offers a number of other services to assist business owners in developing a Web presence, including search engine marketing, domain name registration, and ecommerce solutions. And if you do choose to go the route of purchasing a template or using a content management system, you'll still need a web host. Yahoo Web Hosting is one of the most established and reliable of these services.

If you want your site to have advanced functionality, but don't have technical knowledge, you can employ a programmer to assist you in customizing a content management system based site. Since the underlying software, such as Joomla, Drupal, or CMS Made Simple is free, and many functions have already been completed, your designer has much less work to do. You can find free or commercial templates for these systems to reduce your cost even further.
