How to Make Working at Home Work

I really didn't want a 'real job.' I wanted to work for myself," Bill Buckley recalls. "And I loved working from home."

That was 1995, after Buckley had spent 25 years in the banking industry. He did a 180 to become the first U.S. franchisee of Coffee News, working out of two rooms in his home in Bangor, Maine, to produce free weekly newspapers for local restaurants.

A lot has changed in 16 years. Buckley went from franchisee to U.S. sub-franchisor in 1996, and to owner and CEO of the entire company in 2008. But one thing hasn't changed: He's still working from home.

"It gives me the flexibility to do all the other things I want to do in my life," Buckley says. "I work whenever I have things to do, and when I don't, it's all free time."

Being able to skip the commute and make his own schedule means more time playing tennis, golfing and going to car shows with his wife, Coffee News vice president Sue-Ann Buckley.

But that doesn't mean being a home-based franchisor is all play and no work. "I work just as hard--if not harder and longer--here at home than I would if I were in an office," Buckley says. "We have close to 400 franchisees around the world, so I have 400 bosses. When they call, I sit up at attention. You have to be responsive."

Buckley makes sure his 400 "bosses" get all the same support a non-home-based franchisor would provide. Every eight weeks he takes over a local hotel to offer new franchisees a three-day training session. After that they're assigned a mentor and given a free website, software package and access to an online chat group so they're never on their own.

"It's all perception. My office tower today is my web page," Buckley says. "When you call, you don't know whether you're calling an office building in New York City or a farm in the middle of nowhere. That's the new normal."

Success at Home
Some words of advice from Donna Partow, author of Making Money from Home: How to Run a Successful Home-Based Business

What are the advantages of working from home?
One of the great advantages is the tax savings. The average person can save about $2,800 a year on their taxes just by virtue of having a home-based business. The other advantage is the ability to balance family and career.

How do you achieve that work/life balance? 
It's critical to have a distinct and separate space for your business. When you're in that space, you're working, and when you're out of that space, try to leave work behind.
It's also important to establish accountability. One advantage of connecting with a larger organization like a franchise is that it gives you structure and people with whom you can connect, set goals and establish accountability.

What about marketing?
Harness the power of social media: Twitter, Facebook, blogs, online stores. Nowadays someone working out of their home can present just as powerful a marketing front as a company with thousands of employees. And don't forget YouTube--people want to see and hear information, not just read it. Home-based entrepreneurs actually have a competitive advantage over big corporations in this area, because slick video productions are viewed as unwelcome

Starting a web business trials and successes

You can try this idea.............

There are many stages to starting your own business, especially a web business. Some people say the first challenge is to define a vision of where you want the business to go. That doesn't necessarily mean your end game is a yacht in Monte Carlo - although it doesn't hurt to dream. It does mean working hard to imagine the words and pictures that really define what you will do and how you will do it.

You need to consider who your clients will be and then distill your business proposition into just one sentence or two. It sets you on your course so it must be easy to grasp in a few words showing your purpose and direction.

Be clear in your description. Use words that make the description easy to understand. I was recently offered some great advice - find words that can explain the idea to your mother or someone not involved in business, or a person from another country who's language is not your own.

Often when we begin to define what we intend to do in our business our excitement creates many ideas and also tangents, and we lose focus. Fix your focus on the very specifics of what you intend to deliver to your customers and how you intend to do it. Then you are on your way. You can in fact use this description to develop your name, your logo and your business plan. We labored some over our logo, foisting surveys with many options to unsuspecting friends. Their feedback was useful and did indeed help us achieve our final logo.

Our story - Chapter 1

At the end of last year, a friend and I decided to start a web business, she had been house sitting after returning home to live in Australia. She owns properties there but they were all rented out. Instead of renting and expending funds, she decided to offer her services for house sitting.

She had found a placement through an Australian agency and after a few months housesitting decided the format of the house sitting agency could be improved.

Very excited about the concept and feeling it was one she could easily promote because of her good experience she pulled me in. Despite my being located on the other side of the world in the UK, we were both excited and could see the potential for such a business.

I began to build on her concept and propose ways we could automate the agency processes using a social network on the web as a platform to create new links and connections and so accelerating our reach to potential house sitters and home owners. I also suggested that we build a database to help us automatically match people's requirements for sitters and sitting placements. And so the idea took shape.

Our business idea is:

A social network to match and introduce house sitters and home owners.

We also provide police and background checks for both, and offer use of our legally approved contracts and document templates to enable them to make their own arrangements.

Our website name is: www.housesitmatch.com

We operate in the UK and Australia.

Start-up story

Around this time last year I began work on a project that has radically changed my life. Whereas in the past I worked regularly on hubpages and affiliate marketing both with some level of success, on the 1^st of January last year I changed direction and become a co-founder of group hotel booking website. I have learned a lot in the meantime, both with regards to business and myself.

Dingadeal started with the question: How can we simplify group bookings? Both myself and my two co-founders have experienced difficulties in organising group trips. We have organised numerous stags(bachelor parties in the US) and sports trips. Organising these is time consuming and stressful. Having spoken to hotels we saw that there is also difficulties for them when accommodating groups, this includes getting rooming lists from the group organiser.

We were lucky enough to get backing from Enterprise Ireland and the Endeavour Programme. Enterprise Ireland are an Irish state agency that offer an assistance to start-up business and have been very helpful to us throughout our journey. The Endeavour Programme is one of the most highly regarded incubator programmes in Ireland. It is based in Tralee, Co Kerry and it has the support of Jerry Kennelly of stockbyte and tweak.com fame.

As part of the Endeavour programme we regularly had to pitch to panels of investors about our business. These stress panels helped us refine our business model and thought us about how to manage money and grow our business.

There were downsides to working on this project, my work on Dingadeal has meant that I haven’t had the chance to continue writing as many hubs as I used to in the past. This combined with the Google algorithm change has meant my hubpages account has suffered and income resulting from hubpages has taken a nose dive. Similarly, the affiliate websites I own and maintain have lost a bit traction, this is due to me focusing on Dingadeal and not on these sites. I suppose my time like everyone else is limited and it is impossible to do everything.

Source: http://www.dingadeal.com

How hubpages has prepared me for the business world

1. I spent a lot of time while working on hubpages learning about SEO and Social media. I didn’t realise how much I knew about both topics until I started talking to other people about it. This has given me a marketable skill and a place in a very talented team.
2. Similarly, articles from the founder of hubpages.com Paul Edmondson have acted as inspiration. This hub in particular is one I have been reading over every now and then when I am in need of a kick in the backside.
3. I also learned how to write for the web. Writing for the internet is definitely different from writing for a newspaper and magazine; it requires a different style and different formatting. I learned how to write for the web and have kept a blog about our experiences as a start up that has turned out to be quite popular.

This story is not about the oysters that are found in sea water. But a story of the achievements of pearl producer, Ravikiran Bhat, a man from Karnataka State who has become an expertise in the art of pearl production.

He became successful in growing pearls indoor and inside the fresh water tanks.

Ravikiran Bhat, a young man from North Karnataka, India, has ventured into pearl cultivation, a rare adventure.

Ravikiran had an interest to learn astrology and the related planets. In the vedic astrology, pearl is the gem that belongs to Moon. He became more interested in knowing the details of pearl. And later he thought of cultivating the same, at his place.

This young fellow born on June 24, 1987, got his degree of MFSc in pearl farming, from the Freshwater fisheries Research Center CAFS(FFRC), Wuxi, Jiangsu, which is located in China. He collected lot of information through internet and learnt the pearl cultivation methods. He also came to know about the places where training is given for the same.

He visited the Central Institution of Fresh water Aquarium (SIFA) at Bhubaneshwar(Orissa state) and also the Kochin Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) in Kerala state. He got the necessary training from experts there and learnt the techniques. He invested Rs.4 lakh initially before he entered the indoor fresh water pearl cultivation job.

Inside the oyster

Inside the fresh water troughs...

Today, Ravikiran Bhat has achieved the rare feat of becoming a successful pearl cultivator in India. After achieving this feat, he has become the only pearl cultivator in the whole of Karnataka. His interest to be a corporate leader is widely appreciated by the people of the state.

Within his house yard he has four fresh water ponds of 60 feet wide and 15 feet long, for the oyster cultivation. The age of the oyster is decided by the lines formed over them. Small oyster shells are useless. Therefore it is necessary to be careful while selecting them. Oxygen is supplied through pipes to maintain the cool of the river environment, within the water tanks. Sand and small lime shells are mixed into the pond water.

Three types of pearls are available in the market. Natural , artificial and the ones that get cultivated within the shells. Ravikiran has accepted the third one, the fresh water pearl cultivation.

Oyster operation

Oysters operated

River water has in it 52 types of oysters. Lamellidens marginalis, Lamellidens corrianus, Parreysia corrugata types are of great importance in pearl cultivation.

After 10 days time, the selected oysters are placed in glass troughs and the good quality oysters will be ready to get operated.

Just before the operation, the oysters are given an anesthetic. For this, a tub is filled with water first and then anesthesia powder is added to it. Oysters are left in a condition of artificial respiration for about half an hour. Slowly they reach the subconscious state . During this stage, the oysters will be ready to get operated. So, this is an important part of pearl cultivation.

Ravikiran becomes a real doctor to these oysters, at this stage. Wearing a glouse, with tongs and plucker in hand, he operates 25 oysters per day.

Pearl oysters

At the Intensive Care Unit...

Oysters are taken out from the water when they are in a state of unconsciousness and operated. Through operation nucleus is inserted into the organ called Gonad(a small bead shaped thing which is imported from Japan).

Once again, the oysters are placed in troughs for artificial respiration. They will be tested again to see whether they have come back to consciousness. It is totally like a Intensive Care Unit. They will then be placed in the same position for 10 days. More cautiousness is required at this stage, because there will be every possibility of oysters losing their lives.

Month of January is considered to be best for operating the oysters. Oysters that undergo operation are placed separately in small meshes and will be hung down to a wooden ladder laid flat, over the tank. Thus the oysters that have got adjusted to the outer environment will be kept under a close watch. Finally, they are placed back into the oyster collection tank. Later, they will be there in collection for the next 1-1/2 years. As the nucleus is added causing trouble to the oyster, it gives out a sticky liquid called Nacre. This liquid is given out so as to escape from the trouble caused due to addition of the nucleus. Later, it gets transformed into a pearl.

Ravi kiran busy with pearl cultivation

To reduce pearl cultivation costs...

Better quality pearl can be obtained anyway. But the much needed color of the pearl is impossible to attain. So, it wears the same color that is present within the inner layer of the oyster. Pearl also gets cultivated in the similar fashion.

Nucleus will be imported for the sake of cultivation. The Geomentron sheets that are used in pearl collection tank are not available in India. Therefore they will be imported. Lakhs of rupees will be needed to invest into pearl cultivation.

These pearls are checked and tested in the international market when they get ready for the trading purpose, after cultivation. Only the expert consultants buy these pearls. There is a lot of demand for such pearls in the foreign countries.

Mr, Ravikiran says, As the farmers get more and more involved into the purchase of raw materials needed for pearl cultivation, easy methods may be found for the product marketing. Many a young unemployed people get the employment. Research as well as starting of good training centres will help farmers to get a systematic direction in this field.

These are his confident words.

Ravikran Bhat, the pearl culture expert

The honors he received for his achievement

The State level award for Kannada Kuvara 2008, and State level award for young achiever 2008.


Ravikiran is now, the chairman at his Fresh Water Pearl Culture Research Center and actively involved in training the pearl cultivators who are interested in the pearl farming. He has started the Ravikiran's Pearl Foundation. He is training those people in 3-5 places of Chattisgarh and Andhrapradesh state. He also has plans to start the consultation centres in Karnataka state, this year.
