Home Based Web Business : Time.gif)

| I
created bigskyfishing.com so that I could work for myself
by spending time in places like this (St. Mary Lake in
Glacier National Park). Lots of work, but worth the effort. |
The first
step to starting an Home Based Internet Business is to make
sure you are willing to spend the time to develop it. While
a home based Internet business is essentially free to start,
doing it right does take some time and effort on the part of
the web publisher (you).
So how
much time do you need to start your own home based Internet
business? It depends, really. The time requirement will be
based on what you want to create a web site about (discussed
later) and how large of a web site you plan on creating (also
discussed later).
That
all said a person should concentrate on spending at
least
10 hours a week developing their home based business.
10 hours a week will be sufficient for smaller sites. If
you
want to develop a large topic, sprawling site like bigskyfishing.com,
plan on spending lots more. Developing bigskyfishing.com
took
more than 6 months for the first stage of completion and
required working well in excess of 40 hours per week. As
of 11-7-02,
bigskyfishing.com spans more than 1500 pages (update, as
of 3-7-04, bigskyfishing.com is now in excess of 3000 pages!).
For first time web publishers who want to start their own
Internet
home
business,
diving off and developing a site similar to bigskyfishing.com
is likely to lead to frustration and is not recommended.
This
is advice learned the hard way!
Want
my advice? For someone new to web publishing
and who is serious about starting a home based Internet business
of their own, start small and then work up. Design a web
site that can be easily expanded on (discussed later). By
starting small, you will see the results of your efforts faster
and will start making some money more quickly - not a huge
amount to be sure, but nothing wrong with making a couple
of hundred dollars a month from a small web site. Then, if
your still interested in expanding your home based Internet
business, you can go from there.
The first
step in starting an home based Internet business is pretty
simple but yet crucial. But if you can spare 10 hours per
week to working on your own Internet home based business,
then it is time to go on to the next step - Who
