Hobby Turned Home Business

Man Profits from His Love for Photography and Video

Dan Weiniger isn't afraid of heights. He has worked in high finance at the American Stock Exchange in Manhattan, in high calories as the owner of two ice cream shops in Florida, in high selling of life insurance, and now in high tech as the owner/operator of Home Video Studio in Westfield, NJ. For nearly three years now, Weiniger has been building his home-based business skyward by providing video services — from simple tape/DVD transfers to complex editing — to a host of clients, both personal and corporate.

So how did Weiniger end up working on a quiet street in his two-story colonial after the bustling environs of Wall Street? Like many franchisees (or studio owners, as they're called), he found his way to Home Video Studio by way of his love for photography and video as a hobby and by his vision of making an impact in his customers’ lives. Weiniger, who grew up in New Jersey, obtained his degree in finance from Arizona State University. After working those “high” jobs, Weiniger met his wife Jan, moved back to New Jersey, adopted a daughter, and was fortunate to settle in as a stay-at-home dad. As life sometimes goes, however, there was a curve in the plan. Weiniger had congestive heart failure and suffered a heart attack. Upon recovery, he decided to make a few changes in his life. Remembering his abiding love of video and photography, Weiniger enrolled in a class in visual communications. It was in this class that Weiniger met Pete Gallo, who was in the video services business, was enjoying it, and was making good money at home. Pete told Weiniger about Home Video Studio.

Weiniger immediately attended a Home Video Studio webinar hosted by the Founder and President Robert Hanley. It became apparent to Weiniger that he could work from home while bringing joy and laughter to his customers with tape to DVD transfers, old home movie transfers, photo and video montages, and duplications. He knew he'd found what he was looking for.

Soon Weiniger was on the road to studio ownership. His daily diligence, creativity, his customer service skills, drive, and sales skills all make for a good Home Video Studio owner. "I like running a successful business, and I like being home with my family," says Weiniger. “That's why this is a perfect fit for me!” HBM

Home business owners: can you achieve a good work-life balance?

Are you juggling a work and home life? 

Working from home may seem almost like an impossible ideal for some of us who long for a lie-in and a work life where the only authoritarian orders to answer to are those from your inner voice demanding an increased caffeine intake.

Basing your business at home offers more benefits beyond being your own boss. For example, those with family responsibilities can reap the rewards of being home before bedtime and remove some of the burdens of paying for childcare. Those who don't have children can revel in their newly defined rush hour, which now describes a short walk from their bedroom to their desk, rather than a clammy commute from Clapham to Kings Cross.

However, the dream of operating an enterprise from your dining table raises a series of dilemmas. For example, how to do you define where the office ends and home begins?

Although working from home does mean a work life free from office politics and interruptions, this idyllic environment can also become isolated. With nobody around to keep an eye out (or even laugh at your jokes), it could be tough to stay focused enough to stay on track and steer clear of Twitter.

Seven Ways Solopreneurs Can Grow a Home Business

Home-based businesses with a sole owner can only grow so much, right? Wrong.

With a little creativity you can keep expanding your home business, without hiring employees or renting an office. Here are seven tips for increasing revenue at your home business while keeping it a one-person show:

1. Use technology. From scheduling newsletters and social-media dispatches to issuing blog-post notifications via email, automate as much as possible. Collaboration tools such as Citrix Systems software can also help you readily pass off or work in the same document with colleagues and consultants without having to send giant email attachments or deal with a courier service. Additionally, video conferencing or call forwarding technology can do wonders for helping your little company appear much bigger -- and more professional.

2. Outsource. These days, freelance marketplaces such as Elance and vWorker.com make it easy -- and relatively inexpensive -- to find contractors for a wide variety of roles, from accountants to virtual secretaries. There's no law that says you have to make official, full-time hires to grow. Increasingly, I'm encountering high-revenue, fast-growing companies that have few, if any, official staffers and are driving growth entirely through contract labor.

3. Watch for opportunities. Entrepreneurs' prime advantage over big companies is the ability to be nimble and shift gears quickly if a new opportunity emerges that might lead to more business. That's what home-based franchisor Patricia Beckman did when she saw a need for a standardized virtual-assistant chain. Now her VA business, Cybertary, has 25 franchisees and is growing.

4. Treat your business like a business. Don't neglect the back-office end of your business. For instance, consider using an online invoice system such as FreshBooks or Intuit's Bill Manager. Being able to systematically track your payments and expenses will not only save you time, it's also more professional in the eyes of customers or clients. Keep regular business hours so clients can rely on you.

5. Invest for growth. Yes, being home based can help reduce overhead, but you still need to put money into the business to keep it thriving. After all, you've got to spend money to make money, remember? And that's true no matter where your business is based.

6. Don't forget your plan. Know your goals for the business and keep your focus on the steps you need to take to achieve those goals. Beckman recommends keeping your business plan nearby and referring to it often. And as plans change, update it.

7. Get out there. Some solopreneurs use being home-based as an excuse to never meet with clients in person. That's a mistake. Get out of that home-office cave -- you can build stronger bonds with clients in face-to-face meetings. Attend networking events to keep growing your rolodex and gain exposure to new ideas.
