There are literally thousands of different home based businesses available today.  With a few clicks, almost anyone can become an affiliate, fill out surveys, do data entry, or have a website/blog. Many of these work from home programs will do a part of the work for you.  An affiliate program will give you a website to promote, and tools to do so.  You can find lists of survey and data entry companies, showing which ones pay well, and which ones may need to be avoided.  You can also find programs that will build a website for you.

This is great for those who are starting out with little or no experience with a home business.  It’s easy to get started when you have someone to show you how to do it, and it reduces a lot of the trial and error headaches involved in starting you home business.

There is a problem with this system though.  To many people in the work from home industry rely too heavily on someone else.  For example, many affiliates do nothing for their business other than promote their affiliate site, using the tools the program gave them, in the places they were told to promote.  If thousands of affiliate do the exact same thing every time, how successful do you think they will be?  Not very!

One of the things required to be successful in a home based business is a certain element of uniqueness.  You have to make your idea/product/service stand out from the crowd.  Probably the best way to do this is with a personal website.

There are companies out there that will build you a personal website for your home business.  Again, great for the beginner, who has no clue how to register a domain, let alone build a full website.  This allows the average home business to stand out from most of the others. However, again we run into a problem.  Many of these website building services produce “cookie-cutter” site, sites that are all nearly identical to each other.  This means there are thousands of copies of the exact same website floating around on the Internet.  Again, your business lacks indivduality, and will get lost.

What a truly successful home based business does is grow and expand upon each idea.  Promote your affiliate site in a way the program doesn’t mention.  Write your own ads. Create your own banners, using one of several free services available.

If you have a personal website built for you, change it!  Add your own unique content to it.  Start a blog on your site, posting your own unique articles.  Change the colors, the layout, anything you want.  Remember, the more unique a website is, the more it stands out to customers, and to the search engines.

As you add your own element to your work from home business, odds are you’ll come up with a way to improve the overall business.  You can then turn this into a service or product of your own, and you can create your very own business!

Remember, most successful online entrepreneurs weren’t the first ones to come up with an idea.  They simply improved on an existing idea, providing something everyone else wanted.
