7 Ways To Pay For College With A Home Based Business

March 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Ok, so I am going to share my most resourceful ways to earn an income while going to college. There are 7 that I have come up with, and if you have more ideas, please feel free to let me know. One I have used for years is, a self-employment job, which I work from my home. It pays for my books, as I have returned to college as an adult. Are you just graduating, or are you are thinking of returning to college right now?

Money for college isn’t as hard to locate as in the past because now, there are so many ways to generate income. There are income creating home based business opportunities in every industry you can imagine. Do you have a baby, work and want to attend college also? The work at home moms opportunity is flooded with income producing careers. How about residual income opportunities? I like that, do it once and get paid for it each time your customer pays the bill. Woo-hoo! Yeah, that’s for me. For those of you who prefer to have some contact with people on a daily basis, but don’t want to punch a clock, here is my answer to that. Check into becoming self-employed with an established company that encourages you to build your business and provides the training and guidance to support you as you grow your business. Many a doctor or lawyer has used this method to put themselves through college and it’s a great way to network for your later practices.

Why not try a work at home internet business opportunity to help pay for your college costs? You may be able to finish and get a degree without going to debt by working a home based business. I have found this nifty little internet work at home business that is paying for my labs at my college. I write these cute informative articles and I get paid for them by the word. How does that sound to you? You certainly have words and ideas abounding in your mind so why not get paid for sharing them? There is also the old standby of working for your company at your home. This is so cool if you can manage it because, you can study between job duties and, may even get the company to help fund your college costs . Consider your options carefully.

Work From Home – Virtual Buzz Assistants

April 14, 2008 | 1 Comment

One of the great things about our business is we often work creating buzz for companies.  Doing those kinds of activities is flexible and can be done from home.  If you are trying to design a more free lifestlye, finding an opportunity like that is essential.

 Visit Virtual Buzz Assistant for the details.

You can open a Virtual Buzz Assistant business and work at home (or from a hotel anywhere) and enjoy the kind of like you have always wanted.

Why am I helping other people do that?   – Good question.

I travel the country speaking and training people on creating buzz.  The #1 request I get is for help creating buzz, even though we tell people they can do it themselves.

We would take on a few clients like this each year, but could not do many without hindering our goals of travel and education.

By forming the Virtual Buzz Assistant Network, I am able to help people be better Virtual Marketers and I can send clients directly to them when I get the opportunity.  Truly a win/win.

Your Family Enterprise

February 16, 2008 | 1 Comment

One of the greatest mistakes our schools make is the lack of focus on finance.  Not balancing your checkbook or managing your charge cards, but how to create wealth.  When someone complains about the economy or the job market, what are they complaining about?  They are complaining that there are not more individuals that are skilled at creating businesses, jobs and wealth.  All business starts with individuals.

Family Entrepreneurships is one solution to this problem.  We do not mean family entrepreneurship as in starting a family restaurant.  We are talking about setting off on a journey to learn how to be entrepreneurs together.

First let’s look at the word Entrepreneurship.  It is not the same as business owner.  An entrepreneur is skilled at creating wealth.  A business owner should be skilled at managing. If you are a family of entrepreneurs, you are using your skills to produce wealth, but not necessarily opening up and office or hiring staff.

This is an important distinction.  My first attempt at family entrepreneurship was my 8 year old starting a business.  She had a lot of fun, but the difficulty of building a business instead of focusing on building wealth hurt our success.

Start Simple and Learn Together

The first step to creating an environment is to start very simple and grow.  Your primary goal is wealth creation, even if it is $50 a month.

There are plenty of business plan templates online.  Write a business plan that focuses on wealth creation – but keep it to only a few pages.  If you need more pages, the idea is too complex for your first idea.

Your business plan should answer the following questions:

  • How will we make money?
  • How will we find customers?
  • Why would customers by from us?
  • What are our start-up expenses?
  • How much time does each person need to put in?
  • What are each person’s responsibilities?
  • What do you currently spend money on that could become a business expense?

The benefits of having a while family involved in a successful enterprise are big.  There are substantial tax advantages, there is the learning your family is getting, there is freedom if you build your business to the point where it becomes a reliable cash machine and you are building and investment for the future.

The key thing to remember is you are going to have many more benefits if it actually has some income.  Don’t start something that is going to take a year to see a dollar unless you already have other money making ventures running.  Simplicity and an income focus are what is going to sustain your energy and contribute to your family entrepreneurship success.
