5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspirational Guide For Working At Home!, September 27, 1998

By A Customer

     Every day countless numbers of people go into business for themselves from the comfort of their own homes. With the advances being made in computer and communications technology many are finding this a much easier task to accomplish. Barbara Brabec has written Homemade Money to provide detailed help to those persons desiring to work at home so they can set up and successfully operate their own businesses.

     Readers will find Barbara Brabec's book an inspirational guide to help them establish a home-based business. She helps her readers to determine if a home business is right for them. She proceeds to guide them through the process of assessing their own situations, determining what kind of home business is right for them, developing an effective marketing strategy, and maintaining control once they get started.

     Barbara offers readers recommendations on some of the home businesses they could start. According to her there are two kinds of businesses, product-oriented and service-oriented, both of which can be successfully operated from a home. She provides extensive listings of the possibilities that are available. Perhaps her readers could come up with some ideas of their own!

     Barbara offers readers other important information they need to get started and to continue operating with as little trouble as possible. Essential information on topics such as copyright infringement, a crash course in business basics, concerns about MLM's (multi-level marketing), city ordinances governing home businesses, and taxes is provided to help readers avoid some of the pitfalls they could very well face. Extensive resource directories at the back of the book provide information about books, periodicals, organizations, and government agencies that can be of tremendous help to new business owners!

     This is a well-rounded book that will inspire anyone to consider going into business for themselves at home. Barbara's desire to help others, a wealth of business ideas, tips and suggestions, and personal testimonies from her readers contribute to a very fine business book. Members of the online community will benefit from the help this book has to offer even though it does not specifically deal with online business practices. Highly recommended reading for anyone thinking about starting a business at home!

5.0 out of 5 stars This one is the "Bible" of home-based business info!, August 3, 1998

By A Customer

Barbara Brabec has really put it all in this one. She covers the basics and more...everything you could need to know or she'll tell you where to go. Her writing style and sense of humor make her book fun to read and learn from. I've been checking this subject out for a while and this is the one book that seems quite complete. THANK YOU BARBARA BRABEC!
