Home-based business is big business. In fact it's a $427 billion a year industry, with more than 150 million people working from homes across North America alone, according to a recent *special report published online by the National Black Business Trade Association. And those figures mean plenty of new businesses are in need of new check lists to get their companies off the ground running to earn their fair share.

"People search for online business opportunities every day on the Internet, but I see too many making the same mistakes over and over again," said Paul Kleinmeulman, owner of Automatic Niche Profits, the first private label membership site to include video and audio, formerly known as Private Rights Success.

Kleinmeulman quit his job within a year of going online with his own business by "cracking the code" and finding out all about Private Label Rights (PLR) products. very He then quickly began earning 5-figures, and netted roughly $250,000 USD this past year - all from his home-based business - and all with PLR.

"Too many people run into home-based business scams and unethical marketing methods," explained Kleinmeulman. "And there is a simple, basic checklist of seven ways to market products that you pick up the resale rights so that you can focus on doing what you love, which is making money. These are simply secrets that have stood the test of time with every product I've ever sold."

With Private Label content, you can be creative while developing and launching your products and also while building marketing plans. Apart from the books, software, articles, reports and e-books, even multimedia files have been included in the list of the latest forms of Private Label products, including audio / video formats. By using Paul's simple checklist, home-based business entrepreneurs work smarter, not harder.

Private label Rights Checklist

_Read through all the instructions that come with your private label rights products so that you understand your rights and your products. And ask the seller questions if you're unsure of anything.

_Give your private label rights content a unique selling position. Brand it as your own by revising it, adding more content (digital photos, graphics, articles, quotes, stats, etc.)

_Do a little marketing and sales activity every day to promote your products.

_Get help as you grow your business. Outsource, hire help, team up with a business associate, participate in joint ventures.

_Find a good coach or mentor - someone who has been there, done that with private label rights products. Ask for advice and follow it. Start with your private label rights seller for coaching and mentoring referrals.

_Include bonuses with your private label rights product packages. Buyers, especially those online, seek out and love free stuff. So give them some. Include a free report, guide, audio or video in the package, for example.

_Also include freebie in your marketing campaigns. Invite shoppers to opt-in to your autoresponder messages series by offering them a free report, ebook or other electronic download made from your private label rights materials.

_Automate! Let your computer and Internet marketing systems work for you. Set up lead capture forms, a forum to grow your own content to feed the search engines and attract shoppers your way, toss up a branded 'thank you' page to sell back end items with enticing sales copy, add shopping cart navigation and buttons, even an affiliate program to recruit your own sales team.

_Always continue your online education: learn more earn more. Keep up with technology and the Internet marketing (IM) industry by subscribing to popular IM ezines and forums. Surf the net to find ones you like in your niche industries.
