SOHO

SOHO
 
The idea of operating a successful small business from home, will be the focus of this article.  In turning for a pointed description of SOHO, I will use Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia.  "The modern concept of Small Office and Home Office or SoHo, or Small or Home Office or Single Office/Home Office deals with the category of business which can be from 1 to 10 workers. Larger business enterprises, one notch up the size scale, are often categorized as a small business. When a company reaches 100 or more employees, it is often referred to as a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise.

Before the 19th century, and the spread of the industrial revolution around the globe, nearly all offices were small offices and/or home offices, with only a few exceptions. Most businesses were small, and so was the paperwork that went with them.

The industrial revolution aggregated workers in factories, to mass produce goods. For the most part, the so-called "white collar" counterpart— office work— was aggregated as well, in large buildings, usually in cities or densely populated suburban areas.

A home office.
A home office.

Beginning in the mid-1990s, the advent of the personal computer, and breakthroughs in voice and data communication, created opportunities for office workers to decentralize. Decentralization also benefits employers, in lower overhead, and in many cases, greater productivity.

At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the term "Small or Home Office" and its variants —along with the acronym "SOHO"— have been used to a great extent by companies who market products targeting the great numbers of small businesses which have a tiny or medium sized office.

Several ranges of products, such as the Armoire desk and a few other desk forms, are often designed specifically for the "SOHO" market. Several kinds of books are written and marketed specifically for this type of office, ranging from general advice texts to specific guidebooks on setting up such things as a small PBX for the office telephones.

Many consultants and the member of several professions such as lawyers, real estate agents or surveyors in small and medium sized towns operate from such home offices.

The 36 hour or 48 hour cycles of much of software development has led many practitioners in this domain to do their work in home offices given the difficulty of the traditional business world to adapt its "normal" hours to some of the more extreme needs of software engineering.

Technology has also created a demand for larger businesses to employ individuals who work from home. (See also Homesourcing) Sometimes these people remain as an independent businessperson, and sometimes they actually become employees of a larger company.

In popular literature the home office has not been the topic of as many works as the "normal" modern office. Brian Basset, the author of the newspaper comic strip Adam, has sometimes described its more humorous aspects."

I am a firm believer in the SOHO concept, as I too am a very successful home business professional.  My prime gig in life is search engine optimization and search engine marketing.  I am also the marketing director for Al Turnquist, CEO and founder of MOM, Predator and Jaguar Marketing.  I also work in conjunction with Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling, owners of the internet marketing training system known as Veretekk.  I operate my business just like an offline concern.  I work consistently, have set hours and often work 16-18 hour days to achieve the level I desire in monetary, as well as personal satisfaction goals.

I know that anyone can learn to do exactly what I do.  The fact of the matter is that it takes discipline, time management skills, determination and a dogged persistence to make the SOHO work.  You see, I am dedicated to the idea of not having a boss, not having time restrictions and deadlines placed on me and also the idea of making fantastic money from what I do.  I do not see a down side to SOHO.  Perhaps, you too, desire this type of existence, but really do not know where to go to get started.  Maybe you already have an online business of some sort, but really have not achieved the type of notoriety and money that you feel you deserve.

I am going to let you in on a little secret.  You have not become educated in the way that Google operates.  Without this type of internet education, you will never achieve what you are looking for.  I know, because I have been there, done that.  You are speaking here with an SEO Master on Google.  I know the way that this whole business online works.  You can learn from the system called Veretekk.  Its your choice to come and join our community and become educated, or simply keep floundering about in hazy mystery.  You have an important decision to make concerning your financial future.

The good news is.  This is real, this is possible, and you...yes even you, can learn this art of search engine mastery.  Take your SOHO to a new level with the links below.  You will thank me for giving you this opportunity of a lifetime.

The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me...Once

This is a book of potential, faith, purpose, hopes and dreams. This is a book about the importance of time, the power of choice, growth, toughening up and having a heart, commitment, passion, and inspiration. This is a book that considers the ups and downs, life, and death – and what it all means. More than anything however, this is a book that considers a journey’s impact, a life-long quest for meaning, happiness and fulfillment, and the resulting stories, perspectives, and lessons that I have collected along the way.
