The Big Lie in Starting a Home Based Business - Web 2.0

Starting a Home Based Business - Web 2.0 - The Big Lie
By Darrell Lischka

Is Web 2.0 the real deal or just a big lie? There are thousands of differing opinions on the most effective ways to make money in starting a home based business. Millions of newbies are jumping on board with the latest and greatest phenomena known as Web 2.0 believing they can catch the next wave and make tons of money. Before you venture any further into the matrix known as Web 2.0, you need to understand some important distinctions if you really want to maximize your Web 2.0 experience and make money.

I have literally read thousands of articles over the past year. Some good and many are just simply garbage advice. Just because some so called guru tells you that the key to make money in starting a home based business is by jumping on Web 2.0 train, doesn't make it so. In fact, you could be wasting your valuable time and money. Stop listening to anyone telling you it was easy to make money with Web 2.0.

Here are several key points you should consider prior to getting started.

Decide on how you are going to build your online home based business. Do you want to get traffic from social networks (aka Web 2.0) or by organic search results for specific keywords by SEO techniques? There is a big difference in how you approach each one.

Let's start by looking at the approach to building up your presence with Web 2.0 via social networking. If you are the type that wants to brand your name in the social networks as a coach and trainer, then developing your web presence via Web 2.0 platforms makes a lot of sense. Of course you need to have real life experience in that area as someone who is a subject matter expert by personal experience, developed skill sets and an ability to actually coach someone that helps them in building their home based business. Look out for those that have never actually built a successful business. Just Google their name and you will find out very quickly if they are the real deal or not.

Here is a specific example to further clarify and support what I mean. When it comes to branding your name, take a look at someone like Todd Falcone. He has been in the network marketing and direct sales field for 15 plus years and brings real practical experience in building successful businesses. He is a true professional that shares his expertise with the nuts and bolts in your face approach.

You might be thinking, ok, so here is a guy that is successful. Right, but understand the approach he has taken to get where he is today. He has actually been social networking and branding his name in reality for 15 plus years. First he built a successful business by trail and error. That progressed to helping other's by offering trainings to his friends, business partners and doing company trainings. Todd further branded his name by giving back to the general network marketing and direct sales industry by having weekly conference calls on all aspects of starting a home based business and how to specifically achieve results. He went onto to offering professional coaching services to the general public. During the past few years as his name recognition has gained traction, he further branded his name by connecting with people online via Twitter, Facebook and the Blogging community.

So its the approach I want you to understand and how many years it actually took for him to reach the highest levels in the industry. He didn't do it over night and nor will you. It was a multi-facet approach. If you are serious about going the route of the Web 2.0 phenomena via social networking, then ensure you understand its a combination of doing everything to build brand name recognition to make money.

One other key point about social networking advice that successful people will share is they always gave back. If you help enough people get what they want, then in time you too can have success in starting a home based business. It takes a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication usually over a period of years. Web 2.0 can be a great way to make money if you understand the processes involved and the fact there are no short cuts.
