So You Want to Start a Home Based Business!

And you are wondering about take the first step. Like so many others thinking the same thing, you do a Google search on home based business and now you are looking at the results of over 1,300,000,000. Or possible more depending on how you entered your search term.

What do you do now? Well I was sitting in your shoes, two months ago and had been dreaming about starting a home based business for over a year. So I decided to take the plunge and started looking on the subject of different types of home based businesses. And was I surprised at just how many different home base business opportunities there are out there.

Most play on your greed by making statement like make 10,000 a month or six figure a year. Little to no work or just work 30 minutes a day. And on and on and on. Then you have to figure which ones are scams and which are real.

So I decided to keep an online journey showing how I do. That way I can help someone else, who may find these pages. And for the record I not an expert and I never done anything like this in my life.

Now I don’t know how often I will add to this blog. But I will, when I make a change to what I’m doing on my search for a good home based business. And within the next few weeks I will tell you what I've done up till now.

So first things first. Before you get all caught up in the search for your new home based business. You need to step back and take a look at your computer. What I mean by this, is you need to look at how secure your computer is. Just getting on the Internet may allow a virus, spyware or other harmful items to gain access to your computer.
A good example of this; is when we find free downloads, you want to watch where you get them from. Due they post that they are virus and spyware free?

Next let’s start with anti-virus software. Not having a lot of extra money, I used free virus scans. Which don’t stop an attack like having installed software. But I could still scan with them, so I used Panda Software. Their free scan will remove viruses and will tell you if you have spyware. But buying the software is better as it will stop attacks before they get a change to screw up your computer.

As for spyware, I use the one that comes built in to Panda. Then I use a few free ones. That’s just me, I like to cover my bases. But Panda is the one I use the most to check my computer.

Now the one thing you want to remember to do is, put everything you can on auto update. From your computers OS (Windows update), to your spyware. And if they don’t have an auto update, get in the practice of manually updating them on Monday or Friday. Then ran scans! Every week.

So let's recap:
1) Keep your OS up-to-date
2) Update your anti-virus software weekly
3) Update your spy-ware weekly
4) Set everything you can on auto pilot
5) Run all the above once a week
