In one of my recent blog posts, I briefly shared an interaction I had with one of my subscribers, Becky, that’s trying to make money online from home.

In that post, the problem that came up was not being able to take action and get started making online profits.

Sound kind of familiar?

To help you help you jump off the bandwagon of marketers running in circles, chasing shiny products, or drooling over the latest marketing fads...I wanted to share a few thoughts with you.

Tip #1 To Make Money Online From Home: Shatter Your Comfort Zone

One of the biggest things that holds people back (in all facets of life), is the inability to take risks and venture into the unfamiliar.

Online, this manifests itself in the form of not being comfortable on camera, fearing negative feedback on products and blog posts, a poor mindset that no one will buy your stuff...

...and a wide range of other limiting beliefs.

I encourage you to start taking small steps to break out of your comfort zone, and work your way up to big, confident strides.

There will always be someone that can ...
... benefit from your knowledge, or that will enjoy hearing, listening, or watching what it is you have to share.

Tip #2 To Make Money Online From Home: Budget Your Biz

One of the biggest expenses people create for themselves when trying to make money online, is information products.

Don’t get me wrong...

It’s good to stay on top of current marketing tactics.

But it becomes a problem when info products are bought in excess and cause you to lose focus.

In that case, there’s two things you’ll need to budget: your money and your time.

If you find that you get swept into a buying frenzy too much, one way you can try to overcome it is by using your calendar. Instead of making the purchase immediately, postpone it for 30 days.

When the time passes, see whether or not it’s still something you feel you need and if you have the time to take action.

If the answer is “no” to either of those, pass...

Tip #3 To Make Money Online From Home: Take Care Of Your Body

I won’t tell you what to eat or when to exercise...

...but staying healthy means you’ll have better focus and more energy.

When you’re starting a home based business and can work from your computer, it might be easy for some people to lose track of time.

It’s been proven (not to mention kind of common sense) that it’s important to take regular breaks.

Not only will you give your body a rest, you’ll be able to come back to whatever you’re working on with a fresh mind.

Tip #4 To Make Money Online From Home: Establish Goal And A Plan

When you’re first getting started, it can be tough knowing where to begin...

As a result, many people never lock in on one particular method and fail to stay focused on a project long enough to see results.

The first step you need to take is set goals for yourself.

It’s important that they are realistic, but don’t make everything too easy. Creating challenges for yourself helps you push yourself and accomplish more than you might think you can.

Once you know what your goals are, find a way to make money online that you think suits you and zero in on it with laser focus.

Similar to budgeting your time and money for buying products (tip #2), perhaps you can try to dedicate a specific amount of time to your projects.

Final Thoughts

When you start building momentum in your online business, don’t forget to stay balanced.

Working from home is both fun AND profitable, but it also requires you to figure out your own schedule for other things, such as time with family.

In the end, if you keep these tips in mind, you’ll be off to a great start to make money online from home.
