Nothing Beats Working From Home

Starting a Work-From-Home Business?
Make It a Successful One!

There are many reasons why you could be looking to work from home, (ranging from lost jobs to wanting extra income and many other reasons you and I can think of), but; I tell you this, there is a greater reason why you should be wanting to work from home and that is to secure yourself an income that no-one can take from you.

Job security is a thing of the past, if it ever really existed! Look, if you had job security, then how come you are looking for another job now? Did that business go under or downsize?  There is only one certainty in life and that is that things will always continue to change!

"If things don't change, they'll stay as they are!" 

New Years Clear-Out.

Hi.
I thew out a few posts, so if you are returning to see something you were reading, sorry- its gone! I'm just getting ready for the new year. Are you?
Here goes!

Well. It is that time of year again, when we start making (or even just thinking about) plans for the new-year. New goals and aspirations... (This time we are going to stick to them - aren't we)!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before! No; - but honestly, this time is different! You now have more information about life than you had last year, and life has probably kicked you in the teeth a few more times which has increased your desire to make-it this year!

If we are still having this conversation next year, YOU.. MY FRIEND - are in trouble!

You need to take some serious action and get some serious money earned... Maybe I can help you with that? I'd sure like to try!

New years resolutions are the best starting point I think, for getting on with your life. Most of the time, we fall into complacent living, (or should I say existing), doing the day-to-day stuff that is demanded of us.

I've said it before and plenty of people I've met agree, that we spend our time working hard for a living, too hard in fact, to think about making any real money or building a financial future for ourselves.

What do you think I know of working hard for a living?
Just who does this AndyGold think he is?
Well, (blame yourself, you got me started). I am qualified to give you motivational advice on the grounds of experience. Like.

Getting home each night from the 9 to 5 grind, or worse the 8 till 6. Well I've played both those games for many years. - And...

Worse still, as I have experience of the 6 till 6 (and sometimes up to 4 hours of added overtime) and that was just the work element, not counting the one hour commute to work and the one-and-a-half-hour return in heavy traffic either side of that, and an hour getting clean after work; (because you come home as black as a coal miner).

There is just enough time to to get your evening meal and retire to bed, because you need to be up at 4-30am to do it all again the next day, SIX days and sometimes SEVEN days a week.. Forget watching the TV, as soon as you sit-still for more than 15 minutes, you're asleep!

It was heavy hard work too, as a welder, manually building metal 30 foot and 40 foot containers, (like the type you see on the back of an articulated lorry), only that these were built to spec as accommodation for building site workers and machinery.

So, now you can see where I get my motivation from. All I have to do is take a short trip down memory lane and that is enough to cure any procrastination I have!

So, - What I want to know is, what about you? What's your motivation?
FAMILY? - Yes, I think FIVE children qualifies me to talk with experience on that front too!

Self-employed?? I have always been self-employed as well as having jobs too. My self-employment started at the age of 11 as a child entertainer! I've worked clubland as a musician till my mid thirties and owned and lost a home and ran and lost three businesses in that time too.

My dad always wanted me to have a "proper-trade" to fall back on, so I studied as an engineer in turning and fitting - doing three years of a four year 'city & guilds' apprenticeship. I didn't complete that because the company I worked for went bust. - (I was still working the night-club scene in the evenings and on weekends).

I also put in some time at my brothers auto-garage doing clutches and breaks, servicing and bodywork etc if I had any evenings off or Sundays free.

Being a semi-skilled turner and fitter / turner mechanic, helped - beat the other applicants for my next apprenticeship - I was trying to keep my turning and fitting course going and changed to another employer, but this time I was steel-erecting doing a Plating and Welding apprenticeship - City & Guilds again.

The course required one day a week release from work and two evenings, so I had to give up my turning and fitting and start along a new career path. Guess what happened 2 years later... Yep, they had big lay-offs, that's when I decided to follow my main true passion - Music (and started selling glass-ware).

I've run my own bar-&-restaurant-supplies business (with two business partners), selling to the licenced trade for 4 years, (with sales booming, one of the partners liquidated his part of our business without telling us and we lost the business to a competitor, due to losing our buying power yearly-contracts etc)..

I've owned & ran my own Yamaha Music School (dealer-tied franchise) for 15 years; (The main dealer went into receivership and I lost my very profitable business too).

I have been a private music teacher overlapping all of that and in addition, ran several bands and been in plenty of bands too. I've worked abroad, done cruise ships and ferries entertainment. So. I've kept myself pretty busy over the years!

There's more, but - I hope that's enough info for you to get the picture. I don't know what else I can say to you, to convince you that I know what I'm talking about.

And what I'm talking about, is getting your-self motivated to make money on-line, with a sense of urgency. You see, thangs-are-a-changing'. The Internet, online business world, is moving a million-miles-an-hour and you need to be a part of it.

With every day, week, month that passes, more and more technological advances are altering the way the Internet is used in business, and the legal side of trade and enterprise is not far behind, and is making ever increasing demands on online business owners to conform to new legislation.

A few years ago, it was simply a matter of putting up your product page with an address to send cheque's to, and possibly a few pictures and brief description and you were up and running. If you were polite, you'd put up a privacy policy page and and "about us" page just to give more weight to your real business.

Now - new legislation requires or soon will require you to have more legal pages than you can shake a stick at. This is good, especially for the client and customer and for you as an online business owner. HOWEVER....

My point is, the sooner you make a start the better. Because starting a website from scratch will have to incorporate all these new legal pages and this will be a bigger and higher mountain to climb.. Looking at all the things you now have to comply with, as opposed to when I started, will seem insurmountable.

So, with all those problems in mind, wouldn't it be great, if there were a simple answer. Something that gave you versatility to market products and services that were already a proved success. Topped off with full legal conformity, that is managed and updated and run by professionals, but where YOU are in charge.

This is why I have my own -

This is AndyGold, wishing you all the best of everything you could wish for, for yourself!

Hi I'm Andy Gold.

I thought I'd use this first post to introduce myself, I'm new-ish to blogging, well about my stuff, the things I want to blog about. I'm used to adding comments on other peoples views and interests etc, but I thought it was about time I started doing my own thing!

I'm sick of all this talk of recession, I get upset when people loose their jobs, yet I am surprised that, despite one put-down after another, one lay-off after another, wage cuts and three day working weeks,  people still have faith in working for someone else!

My aunt who lives in Australia, visited yearly throughout my childhood, my uncle was / is a church envoy. They did loads of travelling all over the world. They always had magical and mysterious stories to tell. So from a very young age I dreamt of travel, being rich and being my own boss.

Yes, that last one seems a bit strange. A small boy, thinking of being his own boss. I just always expected it to be. I was always
in charge when playing games, (and 'no', I wasn't a bully or anything, in-fact I was always referred to as gentle and polite). I just made sure that I knew the rules of the game and made sure everybody played by them! Even the other kids in the street used to come to me to sort their little disagreements - like I would always choose the fair option, or tried to make sure everyone came out a winner!

I have always hated cheats, (even to this day, as I admit to playing the odd PS2 or xBox game now and then, (an understatement if any), I refuse to cheat and use the short-cuts). Anyway, I digress, I like to have the odd modifier of course, so long as everyone is in agreement.
e.g. Monopoly, the youngest player, or new player who needs help - gets it, that sort of thing. I love fair play.

It's important to me to tell you this, because that is why I am actually a very bad sales-person, I suck at it! That is, if you measure my results by fellow team colleagues that I've worked with in the past, or other competition. I put it down to the fact that I cannot sell something to someone, if I think it will harm them, not be the right thing for them, be too expensive, not as good as they can get else-where. So now you know why, I HAVE TO WORK FOR MYSELF! - I don't think anyone would offer me a job, not in sales anyway.

I digress again! My aunt 'Irene' from Australia, once said to me when I was a small boy,
"Early to bed, early to rise, makes a good man healthy, wealthy and wise!" It just seemed to stay with me.

I think truths and beliefs are what you make of them, you see,... I believed it! - I still do. As a result I have most everything that I want in my life. My wife and I are still in a loving relationship after 25+ years, (yes - with each other, I just thought I'd clarify that)! We've had five children together, two have flown the nest and three remain, but are growing up fast.

I worked, helping my father from around the age of 6 or 7, there were always jobs he needed help with - (or so it seemed, maybe he was just being a good father and was teaching me good work ethics, anyway, I thank him for it). I worked as a child / Young musician professionally from the age of eleven. I've been self-employed ever-since.

I love those sayings, especially the ones you know are truthful, make sense and fall into line with ones belief system. Here's one I hold in high regard.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Show him, 'HOW TO FISH', and he can feed himself and his family for the rest of his life".

I don't know how accurately I've recited that, people seem to have slightly different versions, but the meaning and implication remains the same.
So perhaps I'm finally getting to the point. As you can see, I like everything to be fully explained, so if you are still reading this, hopefully with some interest as to where I'm taking this, you can start to see what type of person I am, and the fact that I like a certain amount of detail.

This detail is good for you, I am my own man, I like to earn my own money. I have a good head for business and making money. I do it with ease these days online. I like to teach and or show people 'how to fish' for their own income, to make it on their own efforts. That is why I run a site called Websites-Make-Money, (dot com and dot co dot u k).-
If you want a piece of the pie, (feels like another 'saying' coming on), your going to have to WORK for it.

Don't believe all the hyped claims that, you can do X or Y business and it only takes 2 hours a day, heck, I've spent 4 hours just sorting out stuff for this blog, plus I've been working all day on my other websites! (and its a Sunday)! If you really want to make money online, or do already, you'll soon find out that it takes a little longer than the mighty claims from some of the self-proclaimed guru's. (I'm not one of them)!

Take a look at my posts I'll be making, comment on what you think and feel about the businesses that I use to make a lot of income with. I tend to use affiliate marketing / business to business and marketing to newbies, people looking to find financial Independence online. So, finally getting to the point, I'd like to tell you why my business is booming, or rather, the industry I'm in, but you'll have to read my next post, because that's where I started writing. I then realised that I should really give you some back-ground about me and had to back-track. So here we are and off you go...

The Place Where I Make My Money!

Beating the 9 to 5.

I hate having to go to work - 9 to 5 or even 6 to 6 - 12 hour shifts. The shift work was good pay, thick end of £600 per week in your hand, with plenty of overtime, I could push that to £880 take-home-pay on my best ever week.

BUT, (and its a BIG BUTT), I hate being away from my family day after day and being too tired when I finally do make it home, to do anything but eat and sleep.

I used to have to travel, just over an hour to get to work, when I was a welder for a short part of my career.

Getting up at 4am, getting ready for work, breakfast, my wife would make my pack-up lunch.. Sometimes the kids would get up to see me off, then they'd go back to sleep on the sofa for a couple of hours before having to get up for school at 7am.

One hour travel to work, 12 hours at work, with 30 minutes for my lunch and two 15 minute breaks spaced evenly somewhere in there. (That's if we got the time, get behind on production and you kiss your breaks goodbye)!

Then, often, in the last hour of work, the boss would ask us on short notice, to work till 7, 8 or even 9pm. It was made clear that you didn't 'have-to' do it, yet that the company would loose the order, and that you could kiss your job goodbye by the end of the month! (So, there was no-pressure there then)!

If you did finish at 6pm, you would only spend an extra 30 to 45 minutes stuck in nose-to-tail traffic, especially if there were any accidents delaying the journey home! But basically, add another hour and a half travelling back, plus I'd spend 30 minutes after work just getting somewhere near clean enough to get in the car, so that I didn't get the interior of the car black with carbon dust and grease from the steel I worked with.

Then I'd make a flask of strong coffee to keep me awake on the journey back home, then set off with the radio blasting out and the windows rolled down to stop me falling asleep at the wheel!

Arrive home 7-30 to 7-45pm at best, if there was no over-time to do. And if the traffic was OK,  (with no accidents blocking the road etc, probably caused by people falling asleep at the wheel)!

I'd spend a short part of the evening chatting with the kids, whilst eating my evening meal, then taking a long soak in a hot bath. Where my wife often had to wake me up, to go to bed. Or I'd fall asleep whilst eating my evening meal and simultaneously working on the computer, online, learning and building my online presence.

Often getting to bed for between 10 pm and midnight, or often falling asleep at the computer. My wife would wake me, and remind me, I've got to be up at 4am to do it all again! Six days a week! (except stopping at 4pm on Saturdays).

The Pay-Off!
So I swapped all that crap, yes I said 'crap', for sitting at home in my chair working on the Internet, doing an hour on my exercise bike every weekday, being a full time father and husband.

And... oh.. making many more times the money I used to make, when I was digging my own grave, in that rut of a welding job! So please get yourself some perspective on your life, if it is anything like mine was!

Take a look at this business, that is always growing for me, even without my constant intervention.
(If you've got any time).

And LOOK, my hands aren't even dirty!
