When people start thinking about starting their own business, they wonder where to find a great business idea that will be as profitable as they would like. Many don’t realize there are about a dozen business ideas around their own home and property!

Take your garage for example, there are several different business ideas that you could start that pertain to a person’s garage such as cleaning, creating storage space, building shelving units, and refinishing, to name a few. Another great business idea is anything that pertains to lawn services. Many people consider their lawn as a way to set the mood for a first impression on the rest of their home. You can venture into cutting grass, landscaping, and more.

Closets. No home ever seems to have enough closet space. Thankfully, there are a number of franchises that exist to help organize closets for maximum efficiency. They help customers design closet layouts and then sell and install the products needed to make these the most efficient rooms in the house.

Take a look at your bathroom, how many times have you thought about expanding it or remodeling it? Entrepreneur.com suggests that this would make for another great business idea. People, especially those with large families, prefer large, numerous bathrooms throughout the house and elegant looking bathrooms to show off to company.

The next time you’re thinking about what to do for a great business, just simply walk around your own home or yard and think about all the possibilities of what you could do!

The reason why you first embarked on this journey is because you think it will benefit your business and bring you returns. The biggest mistake you can make in social media marketing is failure to measure these returns. We have seen how to measure social media ROI but what are some of the common mistakes that people make when measuring social media performance?

• Failure to have a clear goal in mind. If you don’t know where it is you expect to go in social media, then how are you ever even going to measure your success? As stated on Penn Olson.
• Not measuring your total number of clicks received. When you count the number of clicks your site receives then you ultimately know how many people are interested in your site and products.
• Not paying attention to search results. Measuring search results is key for your social media. This lets you know if people are talking about your business and products. If this information does not come up often or at all in search results then you probably need to work a little more on your presence.

How many of your followers are reading your tweets? How many are clicking on the links you shared? How many are making actions on your website? Did you ask these questions when you look at your growing follower base? Getting more followers is one thing, converting them into sales leads is an entire different story.
