74% Increase in Number of People Working From Home
Whitney - TX - 17.2 million Americans worked from home at least one day a month in 2008, according to a recent survey by WorldatWork. That's an increase of 39% over 2006 and 74% over 2005.
Stephen Pierce, CEO of Impulsive Profits, which provides training materials and coaching to online entrepreneurs, thinks this trend isn't just the result of telecommuting. "Many people are finally realizing the tremendous power the internet has to give them more income and freedom and are now running their own online businesses from home," says Pierce. An online business is any business that sells all or some of its products or services from a website.
Free Book For People Who Work At Home
Pierce has written a book called Make Real Money on the Internet. It's written for the person who wants a full or part time income from home using the internet.
Pierce's book is not a get rich quick guide and all that's required to put his teachings to work is an internet connection and computer. When Pierce first started earning money online more than ten years ago he was homeless and used a borrowed computer to get started. Over the years he developed and perfected seven core business principles that he follows as CEO of his own company, which has brought in millions of dollars year after year and is on track to continue to multiply its profits. "It's not the single thing you do in marketing, it is the collective things you do consistently that creates cash flow and profits," says Pierce.
Pierce shares those same seven principles in his book and also gives real life examples from his own businesses throughout the book. He devotes a chapter to each of his seven steps to success:
