Recently, I was searching the internet for an online Christian home business. Needless to say, the search was somewhat disappointing simply because of the sheer number of websites claiming to offer the perfect solution for my home business needs. Unfortunately, very few of the companies I investigated were founded by Christians. Fewer still were built around Christian business ethics and standards. Most of the companies offering home business opportunities were simply Christian home business owners looking for Christian clients. Sorry, that’s not what I was looking for. Anyone can claim to be a Christian, as easily as anyone can claim to be a true Christian businessman. I didn’t want to become part of an online business opportunity unless it was truly a Christianity-based business, founded by Christians, operating on biblical Christian principles, and an online business that allowed me to be my own boss.

If you Google “Christian home business,” most of the top websites are not Christian businesses at all. Most are Christian business directories. That’s fine if you were looking for a typical job for a traditional business, or if you wanted to start a typical “bricks and mortar” business. But he was looking for a real home business where he could work from home part or full time. I like the idea of ​​working from the comfort of my own home, on my own schedule, and without making a large investment and without all the risk involved in operating a typical brick and mortar business.

So if you are like me and want to start your own Christian business from home, let me share with you a few things that I have learned. There are a few ways to start this type of business, but only one is truly a home business.

You can always find a particular product or service that has great appeal to Christians and then market your business through traditional marketing methods such as print or media advertising. Of course, the most effective marketing tool is the Internet. But unless you really know how to harness the power of the internet, you’re basically lost. Even if you create a website, you will quickly get lost among the millions of similar sites on the world wide web. It is like planting a tree in a rain forest. You need to learn all the unique ways to drive internet traffic to your website.

The most effective online Christian business opportunity is one that not only offers products or services that appeal to everyone, including Christians, but also gives you a complete turnkey operation, and then teaches you everything you need to know about marketing. In Internet. . It should also be affordable. It shouldn’t cost you a small fortune to get started. The initial costs of starting a good Internet business can range from several hundred to more than two thousand dollars or more. Usually the more you pay, the more you get. Just make sure there are no additional hidden costs for services that you must purchase later. Any additional costs, if any, should be purely optional and should not have a negative impact on your company’s ability to attract customers if you choose to opt out of those additional services. Also, a credible online business should allow you to generate a fairly stable income stream in a reasonable amount of time. No Internet business opportunity, Christian or not, can promise immediate profits. If they do, there is usually a catch. But you should be able to start making real profits within 4-6 months of starting, assuming you’re putting in the time and following all the training you need to be successful.

But what if you don’t have “computer skills”? What if you barely know how to log into your computer and surf the internet? Can You Still Have a Successful Christian Home Business Online? It all depends on whether the business opportunity you choose offers a truly comprehensive training program. Of course, some online businesses provide services where they do all the marketing work and talk to potential customers. But those services cost, and they will hurt your bottom line very quickly.

If you really want to be successful in business, especially online, you need to be patient and take the time to learn how to do everything yourself. That doesn’t mean you always have to do everything on your own. You just need to know how to effectively market your business and talk to potential customers. Once you’ve learned those skills, you can decide how much of your own time you want to spend doing those tasks yourself, and how much you may want to outsource to others. But the bottom line is that you need to have a team of real professionals behind you and offer you the best and most up-to-date internet marketing strategies as part of a comprehensive training program. You not only need to learn marketing methods and strategies that will require an investment of your own money, but also effective marketing methods and strategies that are absolutely free. In addition, that training should be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to scheduled online training seminars, you should have access to a comprehensive library of online training courses offering expertise in all areas of internet marketing and recruiting. And perhaps most importantly, make sure you also have 24/7 customer support. You should be able to resolve the issues within 24 to 48 hours after you submit the request. You should also have access to a comprehensive knowledge base or question-and-answer library where you can find solutions to problems on your own.

The end result is simply this. Finding the right Christian business opportunity online will require a lot of due diligence. You must approach the whole process objectively. That means looking past all the bullshit and all the glitz and glamor of claims, and thoroughly examining the basics of the business. Do you offer products and services that have great appeal to people looking for an online business? Does it offer a turnkey configuration that will get you up and running right out of the box? Does it allow you to go into business without a large expense? Does it provide you with a comprehensive training program so that you can really learn all the ins and outs of internet marketing? Do you offer 24/7 customer support and a comprehensive knowledge base or Q&A library? And perhaps most important of all, is it really a Christian business? Was it founded by Christians and operates on solid biblical Christian principles of truth, honesty, justice, and the golden rule of doing to others what you would like others to do to you?
