Why A Christian Business Is A Good Deal

We need more Christians looking to start Christian online business opportunities.  Would we be in this current economic mess if all businesses were run with Christian ideals and beliefs?  I don’t think so.  The more I learn about the mess our country and world is in the more I hear that it was caused by greed and lying.  These are two personality defects that we as Christians are taught to fight against in our daily lives.  Why do you suppose that is?  Because they cause pain and suffering and God wants what is best for us.

If you have been following this blog you know that I believe Christian fundamentals are important to running a successful business.  If you lie, you are going to get caught.  If you cheat your customers, the word will get around and you will no longer have any customers.  If you sell shoddy products, people will stop buying from you.  If you don’t follow through with the service you promised, people will find out and you will lose business.  Can you follow these bad business practices and steal from your customers for a while?  Sure, but this is not a long term business model.  I am in business for the long haul and you should be too.

A long time ago a very successful internet businessman said you should always over deliver.  Always give more for a buck than what you advertised.  In the long run this costs you absolutely nothing because whatever small amount of money is required to provide this over delivering will be more than made up for in repeat business and word of mouth advertising.  This is an example of doing what is right, because it is the right thing to do, and also building up your business at the same time.

If you are looking for a Christian Business Opportunity Online then be sure you are giving your cusotmers more than their money worth.  There are a lot of models that can be used for a Christian online business.  But remember, you are in business to make money sure but your first duty in business as in life is to glorify God.  The money will be worth absolutely nothing if you trade gold for lies and scams.  Whether you offer a product or a service be sure and offer more than is asked for.

This does not mean you have to go bankrupt in you business by giving to others.  Let me give you an example.  Let’s say you sell tents.  When someone purchases a tent from you give them a copy of a small publication that pertains to camping to increase the enjoyment of their experience.  Maybe a small cook book of campfire treats or a book of bible stories that could be told around the fire at night.  Do it as a thank you for their business.  Don’t advertise it because then it seems like sales tactic.  Just give it away as a thank you gift.  It will have profound effects on your business.  And even if it doesn’t, you made someone happy and that is worth a lot.

No matter what your business, stick your Christian tenets and build for the future.  What is it worth to gain the world and lose your soul?  You homework is to start looking for online business opportunities and determine how you can turn them into Christian online business opportunities.
