As Homebased Businesses Grow, New YouTube Video Vividly Shows That Internet Business Gurus Need Not Stay Indoors

As homebased businesses in the U.S. near the 10 million mark, a new YouTube video shows that an Internet-based home business today need not necessarily keep the business owner chained to her computer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HgjPdfGiE ).

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 16, 2008 ) Goshen, MA – As homebased businesses in the U.S. near the 10 million mark, the stereotype has someone simply trading an office cubicle for a more comfortable office setting, minus the commute. A new YouTube video shows that an Internet-based home business today need not necessarily keep the business owner chained to her computer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HgjPdfGiE ). Author and marketing consultant Marcia Yudkin, based in Goshen, Massachusetts (population 920), portrays the glories of getting outdoors in a work setting reminiscent of Henry David Thoreau’s "Walden."

"Living close to nature can represent freedom and happiness – without requiring a rejection of modern technology," says Yudkin, author of 6 Steps to Free Publicity and 10 other books. "Even though our town has been ignored by the high-speed cable and DSL networks, I can maintain a professional practice working with clients from as far away as Australia or Sweden – plus immerse myself in the four seasons right outside my door."

In Yudkin’s YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HgjPdfGiE ), she shows the visitor the satellite dish she uses to connect to the Internet, the home office in which she writes and consults, trails where she hikes or snowshoes, the lake where she swims in summer and the road she lives on, which doesn’t get more than one or two cars an hour. The narration makes the case for her lifestyle as a satisfying alternative to McMansions and Porsches.

Marcia Yudkin (www.yudkin.com) holds an Ivy League Ph.D. in the humanities and has been successfully self-employed since 1982. She has had a syndicated column on marketing, delivered commentaries on National Public Radio and published a book that was offered by the Book of the Month Club. In her spare time, she serves as Library Director of the one-room library in Goshen, Massachusetts.

Her YouTube video lasts 2½ minutes and can be viewed for free at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HgjPdfGiE .
