3 Ways Technology Has Changed the World For Home Based Business Owners


I hope this is useful and helpful to you. While we do believe that technology has changed theworld for home based business owners, our opinion may not be shared by everyone.

We’re not saying that technology doesn’t have an impact on businesses in general, but we knowwhat it does to a home based business owner. The rest of this article will explore some of theways technology has changed the world for us (and also for others).

2. Telecommuting

As the world has become more and more technological, our lives have become more and moresedentary. As we spend less time in our homes and more time on our laptops or mobile devices,it has become clear that the way we spend our time in a home office is changing.

Our IT infrastructure is not just important to us (it is), but also to our employees: they use itevery day to communicate with each other, to collaborate and to manage tasks.The ability to move your company forward with telecommuting – whether part-time or full-time –can be a benefit not only for you, but also for your employees — those working from home.

 

Here are 3 ways technology has changed the world for home based business owners:

1) Increased productivity – Many people have started telecommuting because they do not want their jobs to impact their family life. Now, thanks to telecommuting technology, you can leavethem at home and focus on doing what needs doing at work without having to worry about howmanagement will react or if your kids will ruin your day by interrupting your work flow.

2)Reduced costs – Telecommuting allows you to cut costs when you eliminate the need for ad dedicatedoffice space. You can reduce energy costs by controlling how much light you useinside of your home office; instead of using artificial lighting (which wastes energy), you cancontrol how much natural light gets in your room by using blackout curtains or shades instead ofartificial lighting (which consumes power).

 3) Increased independence - If you have ever trusted yourself witha project that required lots of preparation and coordination, then telecommuting may be just theanswer. It gives you flexibility with managing time zones so that if one person works late into thenight while another works early in the morning then they both have peace of mind knowing thatthey are not interrupting anyone else's workflow. 

3. What is your success worth to you?

The first and most obvious (and as such, most influential) is the exponential growth of the internet. You now have a wealth of information at your fingertips, but that doesn’t mean you can just sit back and consume it all.

You have to put content out there in a way that resonates witht thepeople who will pay you for it. And that means social media, where everyone who’s had theiropinion heard has an equal voice, in a way that traditional publishing never managed to achieve The second is the internet’s ability to make big data accessible to individuals and organizations(it used to be part of big business).

This has fundamentally changed how we think about marketing and data analysis, allowing highly qualified professionals from all over the world to help us craft our campaigns and give us insight into which channels are working best for us.

4. Challenges

I recently came across a new book called The Business of Home Based Entrepreneurship. It is authored by a single mother (who is not me) and it discusses the challenges of running a home based business. It was written for those who want to get started in this business and doesn’t come with any handouts or useless advice. 

Here are three things to think about as a work from home entrepreneur:

1. We must find our niche If we haven’t found it yet, we could be in for a long time even years before we have enough customersto keep us going.

2. We must make our product appealing. I am sure there are many people out there who would like what we do, but they just wouldn’t investtheir time or money into it unless they saw clear benefit from doing so.

3. And finally, we need to be willing to learn how to market ourselves if we want to succeed AsI said above, I believe many people out there would like what I do, but they just wouldn’t investtheir time or money into it unless they saw clear benefit from doing so (and they certainly wouldn’t do so if they didn’t feel like they can make some money doing it).

5. Conclusion

1. Computer and Internet can be used to do daily tasks that would take hours if done by hand.

2. The Internet is the biggest market ever with almost every household having access to it.

3. Businesses are being built on the Internet, with millions of companies just getting started, such as Airbnb, which is a home-based business, providing accommodation to travelers in exchange for payments via credit card (and has already made $600 million dollars in revenue).

4. In today’s world of changing technology, it is important for you to understand how technology can help you in your business and make sure you are fully aware of the benefits it can offer you and your business.

5. Make sure to choose your niche carefully and make sure that any changes or additions you make to your work from home business will add value for your customers/clients/clients as well as yourself.
