Home Based Internet Business Research

I am currently pursuing a new home based internet business. It is based on a fantastic system that builds websites that work (SBI).

Home-Based-Business-Hub is my first Internet project in which I use that. And I am blown away by how well it works and how easy it is to use.

But - as always in  life, there is a but - I do not have enough time to write content. And so it is always this weight dragging on me, saying: You've got to write about this for the website. 

Do What You Enjoy

I want to spend my time doing what I enjoy, so whenever I come across areas that I do not enjoy, I search for better solutions.

This was a long introduction to my main point: This whole situation brought a new business idea about for a home based Internet business.

Here it is:

What if I partnered up with a writer who produced content for a website. And I look after the production, marketing and monetization.

There are thousands of writers who are trying to get published, there must be some who are happy to be published on the Internet but do not want to learn any of the technical or analytical stuff that is necessary.

Research whether there is a Market

The idea excites me, it is something that brings me closer to my vision of life and all that is left to do is to find out whether there is a market for it.

How am I doing that? I googled "writer forum" and found a few. After reading anything that was related to non-traditional publishing, I posted my idea and asked some specific questions.

You can see my post and the answers here:

Absolute Write

All Freelance Writing

Writers Mag

Writers Net

The first answers are back, mainly from writers who are publishing on the Internet already, with some apprehension as to the viability of this project and (the biggest lesson is in here) a lack of understanding what I really meant.

Conclusion

With a new home based Internet business idea, it is ideal to find out whether there is a market, by asking potential clients. With the Internet this has become so easy. There are forums for all topics. Just find the one that relates to your idea and interact with the community.

Beware though of trying to sell anything. There are usually regular users who jump on any outsiders whose only interest is selling something, rather than interacting.

This actually led to the third of my Internet home businesses.
