Being organized in this way will make you much more productive. People who work from their bedrooms or in common areas tend to get distracted more. If you do not have a dedicated office, you should set up one in an area where you know there is little chance of you being distracted while you try to get your work done.    Get advice from a business lawyer and an accountant before you start your online business. This can end up saving you a lot of money and frustration. Your accountant can help you decide which expenses can be deducted on your taxes, what income must be included on your tax forms and the best way for you to pay yourself from the company profits. The assistance of these two professionals will become more important as your business grows.    Get a business p.o. box for all of your business correspondence. When operating a home business, this gives you another address to put on invoices and packages rather than your home address. Keep your personal details such as your home phone number and address private to protect yourself and your family.    Try a product idea that came from your own thoughts or passion. If you are making items or are passionate about them, they will be easier for you to sell. Making a product to sell is easier because you stand behind it and believe in it, since you made it.    Make sure you have a separate place besides your residence to receive your mail. You don't want customers sending business correspondence to your home address. This will make them wonder about your professionalism.    Everyone can use some good karma, and the tax write-offs from charitable donations aren't too shabby either. So when your business begins to do well, score some points by doing the right thing. Donate some of your proceeds to local charities to help out others in need. You would want them to do the same for you.    Ads are always a good way to market. Put up ads in the newspaper, and try to pass out flyers to local businesses about your business. You can also put up ads on websites online. That is a good and effective way to market to a lot of people on the internet. Although ads may cost a little money, you have to spend a little money in order to get ahead. Set aside a portion of your profits, or investment money, and purchase a few ads.    With some planning, some time, some money and a lot of knowledge, you can start a successful home business and find out what freedom is really like.
