My work history has been in retail grocery most of my life, but in recent years I've made the unlikely transition to Web Marketing. From my roots as a country boy and farm hand through more than a quarter century in retail to Web Home Business. How does one make this leap; well not without bumps and hitting bottom a few times. I didn't always know what I wanted but I knew it would be self motivated in nature and a field that would help me find and define myself and my aspirations for personal fulfillment.

I probably did first of all what millions like me have done is start looking, reading, surfing and praying for a trail of crumbs that would lead to my freedom and success. As the photo might suggest my profession in retail has been in the area of meat production and merchandising, but no matter what area of retail you work in this could apply to your situation. If I wanted to stay in this field of work that would be easy because of my experience, but I would be still workin for "the Man ". There is no shame in that at all but I have always wanted to do my own thing. I will list a few of the things that I finally did after several years of wasting time.

How to Change Careers

• Research the need in the areas of your interest.
• Weigh your knowledge & determination against the task.
• Talk to people that have made a 360 in careers.
• Put feelers out to find out who is genuine in the marketplace you hope to frequent.
• If you are interested in Web Marketing, start building a subscriber list before you say go!You will need to design and establish a brand and plan to launch your own Home Business with a online presence in the form of a website or Blog.
• You must truly become an expert in your field
• Community is important, rub elbows with a bunch of people, learn and share with them.
• Write and publish articles on the areas of your interest.
• Cross market by publishing and regularly updating several blogs.
• Ping blog directories as often as possible.
• Publish articles on Google news under your keyword category.
• Monetize through adsense or even better build blog traffic to send to a sales site where you can monetize with affiliate products or other areas that you are interested in.

 You will Have to lay some bricks for a while, this does not happen overnight. My areas of most success on the web have been in other work that I failed in; but gained important knowledge and information. Use the things that you may not have mastered to help you build a stronger more diversified foundation for your Home Based Business.

Build a strong landing pad, get a good running start and make the leap to Work at Home Success in Web Marketing.

My jump to a Web Marketing Home business is not as much of a leap as it may seem. I am using many of the skills retail taught me. Remember the most valuable skill you learn in retail is customer service and you will use this all of your days. The attitude of patrons is much the same in person and in cyber space. Solve the problem and answer the question and you gain their interest, trust and eventually you can monetize the deal. They both require you to develop and nurture a relationship of trust with your guests as you provide the products and services they have come to depend on. You might ask, why I dont hub on meat selection and preparation; I plan to. This is an area in which I have a lot to offer. A hub for another day.
