Just like you, I have been invited to numerous home parties where some home, food, nutritional, etc items are being sold. I usually make my “supporting you” purchase and may or may not attend the party. For those parties that I have been able to attend, I’ve met and heard the testimonies of the business owners and how these home based business’ have changed their life by giving them the opportunity to quit their full-time jobs and now have more flexibility in their time, work when they want to and, most importantly (for this article), they are making more money than they did in the workforce! WHAT?! REALLY?! HOW?… was the one question that I wanted to know the answer to.After many years of owning my own Accounting and Tax business as a CPA, I have joined a company with the home based business model and after applying the skills and knowledge of how to run a successful Accounting and Tax business to my home based business, I am finding success! So, if you are thinking of trying a home based business, or you already have a home based business and really want to see success, please read the below three steps in how to make money with a home based business:1. Do one thing every day to potentially give you a sale. I know that not all home based business’ are based on sales, but most of them are, so I am using that model in this article. Make a weekly plan for yourself listing what you will do every day to promotes sales, then do it. You will find that making the weekly plan will be the hardest part of this commitment, so don’t skip that step. It will be so much harder to keep this commitment if you don’t have an idea of what you are going to do. After a few weeks, this will become a habit and not seem so much like you are working. Especially after your sales go up, you will no longer see this as a chore, but a tool to get you where you are wanting to go. Let the excitement begin!2. Connect with your upline/mentor at least once a week. In most home based business’ there is a mentor available to you, whether that be someone who sponsored you, or maybe an online training source. Whatever the case may be for your business, it is essential to connect with this mentor on a weekly basis and share with them what you have been doing as far as work habits in getting sales, product education, prospecting new customers, etc. A full-blown business meeting! Lay it all out on the table as to what you are doing and allow your mentor to comment and give you some advice or tips. They are there to help you, so be attentive and consider what they are saying. Be honest with them and if it’s been a bad week, then tell them. They will be able to help you through the slumps and give you advice on how they conquered that in their business. Not only is this connection time helpful for your business, it holds you accountable to complete the work habits that you have set for yourself. Don’t cheat yourself this opportunity to achieve your goals!3. Create physical reminders for yourself as to why you are doing this. Your reason “why” you want to create more financial freedom for yourself is what will keep you going. Let’s face the truth here, this is not a get-rich quick plan! It takes time and commitment to start something new, especially if you are already working full-time, supporting a family, etc. Knowing your reason “why” has to be in front of you every day, or trust me, you will not feel like doing it. Physical reminders can be anything that you see at home, in your car, at work, in the bathroom, wherever you are, so that it’s there to remind you why you are trying to create freedom for yourself. Some examples of physical reminders could be simply writing your goals down on a piece of paper and taping them to the walls around the house. You could post pictures around your house that reminds you of the freedom you are working towards. You get the idea. Be creative, this is for you, so your physical reminder will be as unique as you are. You will be amazed at the power of a physical reminder – do it for you!

Product creation could be a frightening subject for a lot of Internet marketers to face. Some folks who get in the game with the intention of making a full time income are completely ignorant as to how an online business operates. One of the most profitable ways to create online cash is by creating a product that others are happy to pay for.

Product creation is legitimate method of generating money through internet marketing but many entrepreneurs get it wrong. They start by imitating their Internet marketing gurus by creating information products on Internet marketing in hopes of getting rich the way their heroes did. The problem is that they usually don’t know what they are doing and enter a highly competitive niche with very little marketing experience or connections.

Here are a few tips for effective product creation that may help you get on the right track:
Start by finding a profitable niche with low to moderate competition. If you conduct some rudimentary market research and keyword research, you’ll find many opportunities in areas that will surprise you. Amazon and eBay are two great places to brainstorm for product ideas.

Developing Your Product does not have to be a difficult project. You can find experts in the right field for your niche and pay them to write the material while an artist designs the packaging and website or blog. You can outsource the entire product creation part of the project after you conduct the research and testing to ensure profitability.

Sales and marketing strategies should be created while developing the product and learning about the market. Some experienced marketers use pay per click to drive traffic to their offer page; some folks outsource the entire marketing campaign to affiliates through ClickBank or other affiliate programs.

Product creation does not need to be hard, particularly when the merchandise is electronic. E-books, videos, audio and multi-media products sell very well. They are distributed immediately to customers electronically. Once you have a good feel for a niche market, try to service your customers with associated products and upgrades. If you want to earn money online through product creation, you must understand supply and demand. The majority of new online marketers fail miserably because they go after highly competitive markets or forget to research their chosen niche properly. You have to create your products according to the needs, wants and desires of the prospective customers.

1. Easy To Find?

Your first test may sound like an obvious one, but does the legal training provider make it easy for you to find them? If you go onto the internet and do a search on core search terms such as “legal training” and “legal training courses”, are you able to find a selection of providers of courses? This is where everyone starts their search now and any company that is not only up to date with its subject matter should also be keeping up to date with the latest trends in how prospective clients will find their business.

So step one is to start your search on the internet.

2. A Variety Of Courses?

Do they have a variety of different types of legal training courses, or do they only offer one or two specialist courses that they run again and again? If you are looking for a training provider that you can use again and again (if they run the right quality of training course) you want to make sure that you can use them for a variety of training courses so if they have more than one course on offer and you try it and like it, you can return for many different courses without having to go through the search and selection process each time.

Do they have a variety of courses on offer?

3. Do They Offer A Free Newsletter/Training Updates?

Your time as a solicitor, personnel manager or partner is best spent working on the main aspects of your job rather than hunting around on the internet for new courses. Therefore, if the website you find offers a free newsletter in which they announce their new course dates and locations, this can save you a considerable amount of time.

Finding a supplier of legal training with a newsletter update service is the next step.

4. Do They Offer Training In A Variety Of Locations?

Can you attend the training courses in more than one location, or do they tend to only offer training in once location close to their premises? Whilst it may be easier for the training company to use their own premises, you need a provider that can serve your local legal training needs, so finding a trainer with courses in different locations could be important to save you time.

5. Do They Seem Approachable?

When you are choosing a provider, you want to make sure that you are dealing with someone that makes it as easy as possible for you to approach them with any questions about current or upcoming courses. Does their website make it easy for you to contact them? Is there a telephone number clearly displayed, an email address easy to find and a booking or general inquiry form? These are items you would expect to find as a bare minimum.

In addition, once you make contact, do they respond quickly to your inquiry, and when you contact them do they sound grateful for your inquiry (not desperate but happy to talk with you) and do they follow up as they say that they will do?

You are looking for someone with the complete package and being easy to approach is important to make your job in finding courses as easy as possible.

6. Is There Good Feedback From Previous Course Attendees?

The next step is a very important one; is there excellent feedback from other people that have already attended their legal training courses? If you are looking for a long term training partner, you want to ensure that they consistently deliver excellent courses. If you have not yet attended one, the only way you can have any feel for this is by looking at the feedback from other solicitors that have already attended.

Good feedback is vital

7. Do They Specialize?

Moving on the nature of the training itself, one thing that you might want to find is a provider that specialises in the same area of law that you do. If you specialize in banking or finance, a course provider that only provides legal training for this sector is likely to go into far more depth and offer a larger variety of training courses because it is their “specialist subject”. Likewise, if you specialize in personal injury law, a personal injury course provider should offer you far more variety than a general legal training provider.

Specialism in one subject area is likely to give you more bespoke training in your chosen area of law.

8. What Type Of Training Do They Provide?

Legal training is legal training, or is it? Whereas it used to be quite acceptable for a barrister to stand at the front of a lecture style theater and recite his case notes and thoughts on statute, that style of training has been proven to be least effective. After 15 minutes of the same person speaking, whoever they are and however good they are, people begin to lose interest.

Practical, interactive courses with case studies where you are made to apply what you have just learned are the most effective way of learning. Does your prospective new legal training provider carry out their training in this way or the old, traditional lecture style which is less effective.

Practical and interactive with case studies should ensure you obtain the best results.

9. Do They Have Their Own Qualification?

If your legal training provider specializes in one area you might expect them to have their own qualification. This will show they have real expertise in their area of law and have been providing this type of training for sometime. Even if the qualification is too junior for you, or too senior, the fact that they have their own bespoke qualification shows a commitment to improve the standards in their field of law and shows a long term approach to their business.

You are looking for a committed provider that will be around to provide your legal training for many years to come, and having their own qualification is a good indication that you have found the right provider.

10. Do They Belong To Or Are They Associated With A Trade Body?

If a training provider is connected to, or associated with a well respected professional body this provides you with certainty as regards their long term future. However, perhaps more importantly it also means that they will be actively involved in new legislation and discussions with the government, the results of which they can pass on to you through their training courses. This will put you in the position of being ahead of many of your competitors.

Summary

From the ease of use to find a training provider, through ease of contact, specialism and type of training, all of these points should help you to find the legal training provider that can meet and exceed your legal training needs.
