Why Today is the Best Day to Start Your Home Business

So many moms would like to work from home, but never seriously entertain the idea, which makes the team here at Kids Party Characters sad.

First, those moms miss out on all the advantages that working from home brings. 

And just as importantly, the world misses out on a countless number of awesome new potential businesses that will never go beyond the idea stage in a busy mom’s head as she commutes home from her 9 to 5, or folds the laundry during nap times.

The biggest reasons moms don’t put their business ideas into action are beliefs that they don’t have enough time to run their own business, that they don’t have the necessary experience, and/or that they can’t afford to start a business.

Truth is, we live in a wonderful time — when it comes to entrepreneurial opportunities anyway— and if you have a desire to work from home, there is no legitimate barrier that will stop you.

Let’s take a look at why now is the right time to get that business going.

1. Technology is Your Friend

Your work from home business is necessarily going to be run mainly from your computer. And the technical skills needed to get it set up and run your business on a daily basis used to require that you had some actual technical knowledge yourself.

Justifiably, that was enough to scare many people off. 

Fortunately, things have changed rather drastically.

You no longer have to have any coding knowledge, or even know what things like CSS, HTML, and FTP stand for. 

The people who have such skills have created “done for you” solutions that make it relatively easy for us who are more challenged to build web pages, set up online stores, and send emails to thousands of people at one time.

So if you’ve ever looked at a business online and thought, “I wouldn’t know how to do that,” you’re likely wrong.

2. Anyone Can Afford Advertising

It used to be that you had to rely on Google Adwords and other forms of paid advertising to get exposure for your business, which meant you needed to have money to make money.

Now that social media is a part of virtually everyone’s life, that is no longer the case.

Social media allows you to reach people for free, which means if you don’t have a budget, you can spend your time instead of your money when it comes to advertising.

And with so many platforms out there, you have the ability to focus on the one you do best. Like making videos? Go to YouTube.

Good at creating images? Pinterest and Instagram are waiting for you.

And if writing is more your style, Facebook and LinkedIn can be your friends.

3. The Crowd is Waiting

Doing business online has really come full circle. 

When the internet first became a thing, anybody (with some tech knowledge) could slap up a webpage and sell just about anything.

Then people got a little wary, as it became obvious that there was a fair share of shysters out there taking your money in exchange for inferior products or services.

Now, with the rise of social media, where bad businesses can be quickly outed, and the increase in review sites like Yelp, we’ve been able to renew our trust in the internet.

And people love to shop online. 

Think about it, you can get anything online these days, including dinner from a fast food restaurant delivered straight to your door.

Whether people have become lazy, busy, or just found better uses for their time, they want to shop online and they’re already there, waiting for your incredible products and services to show up.

4. Simple Wins the Day 

Another more recent trend that will work to your advantage is that your online presence no longer has to blow people away with style and glamor.

There was a time when you had to have a professionally done website with flash elements, and fancy long sales pages with high-quality graphics. Fortunately, those days are gone.

You can now run an online business without a website, or at least with one you put together yourself. 

And it doesn’t have to be fancy. In fact, many business owners who are testing what they put online are finding that the simple stuff is bringing them even more customers than the content that looks professionally done.

Between that nice tidbit, and the fact that it’s easy to DIY things and have them look professionally done, you truly have nothing to fear!

5. Time is on Your Side

Maybe this all sounds great to you but you’re still thinking you don’t have time to start your own business. 

Sure, it’s great once you grow it to six figures, but what about when you first start and are making zero figures?

Either you can’t afford to quit your day job, or you literally can’t quit your day job because it’s raising kids.

That’s okay. Of course, it will take you longer to earn the income you likely desire if you don’t put much time into your business, but there are plenty of people who start by working an hour or two a day. 

So yes, you’ll have to be willing to spend a couple hours after your job working on your business rather than watching Netflix, or be willing to get up an hour earlier before the kids are up, but when you consider the rewards, that’s not even a sacrifice.
