Home Based Service Business
If you want to create a home based service
business from accountancy to fitness trainer, or a
child minder who specialises in special needs (or
just about anything), you can use the Web to build
your client base.
The best way for clients to see your
work and for you to explain what you do is online.
You can reach a massive audience, whether you are
looking for local people or can offer your service
further afield and a web site can really build credibility.
Just imagine if you were looking for
a painter and decorator and you did a search online
and also looked in your local phone book. You found
a few companies who offered proffessional work but
one company had a web site you could visit where they
had pictures of work they had done, reviews from customers
and they explained their skills in full. Which company
would you pick? I know I would pick the company with
the most information and one where I could actually
see work they had already undertaken.
A web site really does build credibility!
Service busineses can really boost their
business and even create a full business with the
power of a web site. Just take a look at this case

When deciding upon a career, Nick chose a safe
office route rather than following his passion
for photography. As a result, he kept searching
for "THE thing," a job that would
free up his time to do what he does best and
loves the most... write, teach, play, and learn.
Two years after building his first SBI! site
to promote his hobby and his photography business,
Nick's schedule for the next twelve months is
packed with weddings, commercial work, property
photography, and fashion shoots. His contracts
take him all over the world. In fact, Nick is
so booked that he often forwards client inquiries
from his site to other photographers.
Nick is even complaining that "work is
getting in the way of work." His photography
Web site is producing so much work offline that
it is stopping him from building more sites!

Anyone can sell a service -- you may
already be doing so. If not, delve deep inside yourself
-- what knowledge or skill set do you have that others
would pay for?
