I am starting a small business. I have everything organized and ready to go. Since the business is just starting I will be the only person working. The company will be in the marketing/lead generation field. Mostly online marketing and online lead generation. I will be working out of my professional home office until I get business rolling. I want to know what is the best type of phone that I should use for my business? Would it be unprofessional to use a cell phone? I have a cell phone , that I have had for years, the area code does not even match the state in which I stay in now. Should I get a separate cell phone for my business? Should I get a separate land line phone? What is the best thing I should use starting up? I need the phone cost to be reasonable yet I would like to be professional. Any other tips you may have on being professional working from home.

Also I would like suggestions on something free I could use for online chat. So my potential customers can ask questions via chat!

Thanks for your answers in advance

My business is specialhomeproducts.com. I am getting a pretty good number of visitors, but not very many sales yet. Site has been up since August. I know it takes awhile for the search engines to really pick up your keywords, metatags, etc., but want to get this moving as quickly as possible. Any help given would be much appreciated. I am disabled, and am trying to supplement my disability income with this part-time at home business…as so many hopefuls try and many fail…I don’t want to be one of those statistics that fail!! I REALLY need this extra income….anyone out there on disability will understand what I mean by that!! Plus, I need this at home work to keep myself going, and not to get depressed all the time. Thanks for your input.
Getting some great ideas from you all….thank you so much. Imisidro….I especially appreciate your comments…unfortunately, I am pretty much locked in to the website format I have, due to the hosting company who partners with my supplier…they will only allow me to show a MAXIMUM of 8 products on my homepage. Wish I could show more and had more flexibility with the look of the site, but they won’t allow it….have considered starting over and having someone else build another site with the same products, but that would leave out the advantage I now have with this company, in that they keep track of inventory, what is in stock and out of stock, etc. for me…I don’t have to do any
cutting and pasting of the products pictures or descriptions…..so there are
drawbacks and good points at the same time with this company I am working with. I have already been submitting articles to articles sites….(another suggestion made)….started submitting to the press releases today!
And, yes, I know all about the pay per click programs like Google AdWords….those are the ones I am avoiding as long as possible….heard some nightmare stories of people who have lost a LOT of money using them…those clicks can add up to a large sum in no time, especially if you don’t have corresponding sales to offset them! And, of course, lately we see lots of ads for getGoogleAdsfree and make millions doing it…an ad for a 128 page EBook that supposedly sells you a special secret on how to trick Google AdWords so that you end up not paying them anything…yeah, right…..you all give me your take on that one too, please! Google is not likely to let their AdWords program be free, no matter who claims they have a secret in getting around the costs of it….don’t you agree?

O.K. Just imagine there is only one grocery store in town (bigger cities may have a couple more). You go to the store to get the groceries you need but don’t know the price of any items you get before you take them home. after you use the groceries the store sends you the bill. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD DO BUSINESS THIS WAY ? Oh yea, that is the way a hospital does business.
No, they did not have a price list. They said they would have to get back to me on a particular price I was inquireing about.
Yes, Hubris. many families would either starve or go bankrupt.
I wold have to work aprox. 100 hours at a minimium wage job just to pay for a blood test. How fair is that? contest it? Really ?!?
