Home Based Tutoring Business


I have a casual acquaintance who is no longer able to be in the workforce because of health issues. However, she is still bright, cheerful, articulate, intelligent, and in need if an income to support herself. She decided she would try tutoring in a subject about which she has knowledge.

The other day she mentioned that she had to take her advertising sign off of her car because she had more business than she could handle!

There is a great need out there for tutors. Adults as well as school children and teens often are looking for that little bit of help. What do you know that you could teach others?

Although there is great interest in and demand for tutoring in basic school subjects such as The Three R's, there is also demand for typing, computer use, music, arts, sports, you name it. Do you speak more than one language? You could tutor others in a second language. Do you speak only English? Teaching English as a Second Language is a booming business where there is great demand!

Here are some sources to help you start your Home Based Tutoring Business.

Three Pitfalls To Avoid In Your Work From Home Search


I have been working from home now for several years, and I am always amazed by how many people are enticed by internet hype. They think they can just sign up for this or that wonderful program they find advertised online and the money will somehow automatically come pouring in. It's so sad that people can be so desperate for money that their common sense just shuts down. It's even sadder that there are predators out there who are all too happy to prey on the people who are only looking to make their lives a little easier.


Unfortunately, these desperate people set themselves up for disappointment and failure. If they keep trying to make money from these get-rich-quick programs, they set themselves up for repeated disappointments and failures.

The good news is this doesn't have to happen to you!

By the time you finish reading this article, you will have learned three valuable tips that can help you avoid falling victim to brazen internet hype. Begin now to prepare yourself to successfully work from home.

1. Do not confuse "simple" with "easy." No matter what work from home business you select, the concept should be simple, but the application will not be easy. Make sure you understand thoroughly and completely what you are getting into before you start. Make sure you have the skills, resources and temperament to succeed at your chosen profession.

Many of the opportunities and ideas you will come across will present themselves as being really "simple" to do. I absolutely cringe when I read ad copy saying things like, "Simply do this." "Simply do this" is NEVER all there is to it. For instance, the ad copy may say "Simply sell 3 of these widgets a day and you will make $_.__ every month!" The ad copy doesn't tell you HOW to sell 3 widgets every day. If you have no idea how you would convince 3 people a day to buy a widget from you, then this so-called simple bizopp won't be easy for you at all.


2. Be very skeptical of ads that show models standing next to a very expensive car with a mansion in the background. The marketers can't get away with saying that if you buy their product you will live like the people in the ad, but the implication is clearly there. It may be possible to do that well, but it's also possible for any given baby born in the U.S.A. to become president. It just is not very likely, and the odds are probably about the same.


Many of these ads don't really tell you what you would be actually doing should you get involved in the business. You find that out after they have your money and contact information, That should be a very big red flag for you. If they are afraid you would run away if they told you "too much" up front, that's exactly what you should do. Run away!

3). Be wary of bizopps that provide you with a cookie cutter website and tell you that is all you will need. What's a cookie cutter website? It's a website that is identical to thousands of other websites except for your affiliate contact info. You have no control over content or appearance. That means your site would look like everybody else's site that is in the same business you are looking into. Competition would be fierce and you would stand NO chance of ranking well with the search engines.

To be fair, there are a few legitimate bizopps that provide you with such a cookie cutter site, but they tell you up front that you really need to have you own site with your own domain name and total control over the content. They tell you to use your site to attract customers whom you then redirect to the cookie cutter site which is a professionally written sales page from which the customer can place their orders. That's OK. Also OK are the bizopps that provide you with a site as part of the package you buy. You have control over the content and can optimize your site for search engine ranking.

In conclusion, if you avoid the pitfalls I've just outlined, you will save yourself a lot of grief and regret as you search for the perfect work from home opportunity for you.
