Six keys to make that second job work for you

  • Do not have a conflict of interest. Do not work on your primary boss's time.
  • Use the Internet to its full potential to get free Web sites to promote you: free e-commerce, free advertising, etc.
  • Organize as a company (check with your accountant for the appropriate setup) for the best of personal asset protection and ease of tax preparation.

  • Don't quit your day job, unless you become wildly successful.
  • Stick with something you know well and which is easily marketable.
  • Be prepared to work hard. You can only expect to be as successful as the amount of work you are willing to put into it, and in most cases you can consider networking the most important single thing you do.
