The Shockingly Simple Secret that Changed My Life

2006-03-29T22:32:00.000-08:00

This is amazing.

I just stumbled upon a shockingly simple secret that stuffs 5
commission checks into your mailbox every month on autopilot.

WARNING:

If you think making money online is difficult, this will blow
your mind... It's the easiest way to earn multiple streams of
income on the Internet that I've ever seen.

The power of this formula is it's simplicity.

- It takes only 3 steps to setup

- 99% of the work is done for you

- It costs less than $100 to get started

- The income you generate is residual (get paid forever)

- The market for this opportunity is huge, constantly growing
and virtually untapped

- You earn 5 streams of automatic income (if one stream ever
dries up you've still got 4 checks coming in monthly...)

- No previous experience is required

Here's the deal...

The fastest growing niche market online is the massive
group of peopl looking for an easy way to make money on the
Internet. This is a multi-billion dollar industry that is
growing exponentially larger every day.

If you're not capitalizing on it, you're missing out on a ton of
money that could be yours for doing practically nothing. It's
*THE* opportunity of the century.

What you need...

You need a turn-key solution that gives this hungry group of
prospects everything they need to make money online IMMEDIATELY.

People are extremely impatient... THEY NEED IT RIGHT NOW.

If you can point them to a link that gives them everything they
need INSTANTLY (including hosting, professional website design,
pre-written autoresponder campaign, in-demand products to sell,
step-by-step marketing instructions, video tutorials and
comprehensive support all for less than $100) you'll be their
hero. In fact, you would have been by hero too when I first got
online if you showed me a solution like that...

Well, that solution exists right now and I'm making an absolute
killing from it... simply by putting a link on my website.

Here's what I did...

I followed the 3 easy steps listed on

http://www.jamhills.com/pips.html

It took only 15 minutes and cost me less than $50 bucks.

Once I signed up, I was given this link:
http://www.jamhills.com/pips.html which was coded with my
affiliate ID's for 5 money-making programs along with a few very
simple steps on how to add that link to my website.

So I added the link to my site and then forgot all about it...

What happened next blew my mind...

I woke up the next morning and checked my email as usual. To my
surprise, I had an inbox full of commission notifications...

Then 30 days later I received 5 huge checks in my mailbox.

Now these checks arrive each month like clockwork... and they're
getting bigger every single month. My jaw is on the floor!

Needless to say, I'm adding this link to all of my sites now.

Why it works...

It works for 2 main reasons:

REASON #1: The market of people who are looking for an easy way
to make money online with their own e-business is already
MASSIVE and it's getting bigger every day. This inexhaustible
market of potential customers is the driving force behind the
success of this formula.

REASON #2: Most people are incredibly lazy and prefer not to do
anything themselves. The creator of this service already
understands this and does everything needed to get a person's
Internet business up and running within 24 hours. The customer
doesn't have to do anything other than submit a simple form.
What would normally take someone months to accomplish on their
own can be done for them (for less than $100) in as little as 24
hours... It's brilliant!

My conclusion...

This simple system is the easiest way to earn multiple streams
of income I've ever seen...

I'm pulling in 5 huge commission checks every month now
simply because I added one new link to my website.

It's frightening to think about how much money I lost by not
knowing about this earlier!

What I would do if I were you...

If I were you I would add this link to your website as fast as
you can. In fact, I would add this link to every website you
own. And if you have a blog, newsletter, ebook or anything else
I would add it to all of those too.

By tapping into the largest online market of all and linking to
a service that feeds on most people's tendency toward laziness,
you can make an absolute fortune for doing almost nothing.

You can get your link now by following the steps listed here:
http://www.jamhills.com/pips.html

Simply sign up, get YOUR link, add it to your website and start
earning 5 new streams of automatic income right away. It doesn't
get any easier than this.

If you don't have a website already...

If you don't have a website already, DON'T WORRY. You'll get one
of those too when you sign up through the link above.

You also get a step-by-step "30 Days to Success" Internet
marketing action guide that will put you on the fast-track to
profits with this turn-key system for automatic profits.

Everything has already been thought of and done for you... All
you need to do is "plug-in"... and profit!

Enjoy the EASY extra income this system brings you.

------------------------------------------------------

He was possibly the most sincere person I've met inmany years. Voice filled with emotion, he asked asimple question. "Why am I not doing better in myonline business?""I really *need* to succeed."A great question. One I've heard (and asked myself)many times. After a considerable time of soul-searching, I've comeup with the answer for myself, and my friend, and maybeyou. The answer? Waiting until things are JUST RIGHT before making amove. Oh, the excuses I give myself. * I need more information.* I'll wait until it goes on sale.* I'm just not sure.* If only they had a trial version.* I don't have the time to learn how to use it. * This free version will do just as well.* No one really succeeds with that stuff. * I just want the site to look a little better.On and on it goes. But no more. Actually, a quote by Ghandi helped me get off my duffand into the game. Ghandi said "The difference between what we do and whatwe are CAPABLE of doing would suffice to solve most ofthe world's problems." (Emphasis mine)So, in the spirit of "do it now" here are five thingsyou can do today, and can do *quickly* to make yourbusiness better. 1. Improve Your Follow UpQuickly write down on a piece of paper the top 5reasons why someone should by your product. In thecoming week, write one message of 300 words about eachof the 5 reasons. Then load them in an autoresponderand offer them to the people who visit your site.If you need help you can get my book on follow up here.

http://www.realworldtactics.com/followup.html

2. Do Something About SEO Search engine optimization is so complicated that itmakes my head hurt just to type the words. But there issomething you can do *tonight* that will help yourbusiness.

A. Submit your site to Yahoo
http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request

B. Submit your site to Google
://www.google.com/addurl.html

NOTE: This will *not* always be free. Do it now.3. Start A Pay Per Click CampaignGo to Google and set up an Ad Words account. Then bidon the ONE keyword that best describes your site.Getting started is the key. The Google site is actually quite helpful in how to dothis. 4. Place Some Ezine AdvertisingYou can place classified ads for as little as a buck.Some solo ads sell for under $50.Looking in the Directory of Ezines I found 400 + ezinesthat sell solos.

You can become a member of the DOE here.
http://www.realworldtactics.com/cmd.php?Clk=1127700

5. Research What You Need To Know. Why fiddle around with "free" eBooks that waste yourtime and are filled to the brim with affiliate links?The easy way is to isolate the area you wantinformation in (say it was affiliate marketing) then goto Google and find the top book in that area. Then buy the thing and *really* read it and commit totake action. Without a doubt, taking action is the single mostimportant skill online. YES ... you need knowledge andinformation, but you do NOT need to suffer frominformation overload. Learn what you need to know, make a decision, and thenchoose to act. Learn from failures and successes andsoon time will become your strongest ally.

Your Mental Diet By Randy Gage

2006-01-23T20:01:00.000-08:00

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." - Henry David Thoreau

You are surrounded by a data-sphere of information that promotes negativity, limitation, and lack consciousness. It pummels your senses from all directions. It comes from your TV, radio, the Internet, your friends, family, and the people you work with. Most people are so saturated by lack programming that they can't even fathom a life of anything but struggle and complaint.

What you read, what you listen to, and the people you talk with, have a huge effect on the person you are and the thoughts you have. TV, radio, and the newspaper are all channels of information that create and feed the mass reality of doom and gloom.

This doom and gloom is perpetuated by your government who constantly appeal to the poverty mentality of the masses in order to get re-elected. There is a definite Robin Hood mentality when it comes to taxation that is extremely poverty biased. It is perpetuated by the different forms of media whose ultimate goal is to win your viewership. They pander to your fears and play upon your emotions.

In America, the microcosm for the mass culture can always be found in the entertainment industry.

Watch the movies, study the Nielson ratings and check out the New York Times bestseller list. When is the last time you saw a billionaire or multi-millionaire portrayed in a positive light in the media? Think of the coverage provided on Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Ross Perot, Howard Hughes, or Ted Turner, on down to the millionaire on "Gilligan's Island."

I actually read a serious Op-Ed piece by Ralph Nader - chastising Bill Gates and other billionaires for not redistributing their money to the poor people of the world!
I used to think Nader was a good guy. Obviously, he has lost his mind. And Gates, like a moron, actually released a statement defending himself. Like the fact that he doesn't give away all the money he worked so hard to earn, needs to be defended.

You must recognize that this data-sphere is continually programming you 24/7, and that almost 95% of it is lack and limitation programming. And it's not just the media. It's also your family and friends. And your church and government.

Have you ever heard or used the term "filthy rich?" Have you stopped to consider what it means? As if, somehow, it is dirty to be rich. Heard the expression, "poor as a church mouse?" Heard someone called a "rich bitch?" What kind of programming do you think you're getting on a subconscious level when you hear things like that?

So what do you do?

Human beings have huge creative potential that is limited by continual inner chatter and the clutter of information fed to you by the data-sphere. It's easy to focus on things that do not make us happy, do not make us healthy, and do not make us wealthy. What you need to do in order to be successful is to channel that time which you now spend on frivolous activities, into productive activities that bring prosperous results.

If you want to reach the highest levels of success-you have to zealously guard your consciousness as I do. You must control your own programming, and reject the poisonous stuff most people are trying to feed you.

In order to focus on prosperity, it is imperative that you spend more time on your own personal growth. Each morning and each evening before you go to bed, spend time on self-development. Remember you are the foundation from which all your dreams are made reality. Your physical health is but one half of the whole. Your mental health is the other.

Web Traffic Techniques You Can Use Right Now for 2006

2006-01-11T18:24:00.000-08:00

"Web Traffic Techniques You Can Use Right Now for 2006!"
By Jason Mangrum, Author The Instant Traffic Formula 2006 http://www.InstantTrafficFormula.com

As you probably know, getting web traffic to your site is one of the three most crucial components to making any money online. In Mark Joyner's Internet Intelligence Manuscript (Volume II) he clearly explains how any web traffic (not just "targeted traffic" can be made profitable, by mentally framing, or conditioning your visitors to become receptible to your offer.

One of the easiest ways to mentally re-frame your visitors upon entry to your site, is to walk them through a three-step process that:

A) Grabs their immediate attention with a promise of benefit
B) Pre-Qualifies them before they get to your sales letter
C) Follows up with them over time with new content and reminders of your offer

Keep in mind, web traffic is just one component of the three required to sustain sales.
The other two are:
1. Testing new advertising campaigns and ad copy
2. Tracking and keeping records of your results from each campaign

Here's an example case study of the three-step process...

On December 16th 2005, my book "The Instant Traffic Formula 2006" was released to teach internet entreprenuers how to create, attract and monetize responsive web traffic to any web site or affiliate program. As of today, my web site at www.InstantTrafficFormula.com (which uses the exact techniques taught in the book) is averaging a 64.86% visitor-to-lead conversion, and an average sales conversion ranging from 4.69% up to 11.36% all-around, which is currently netting me just over $1.48 per unique visitor to my site.

Again, these statistics do not take follow-ups into account. These are "straight-out-of-the-gate" type sales that occur within minutes of my visitors signing up to read my sales letter.
And you can do this too.

I follow a simple formula to create web traffic, qualified leads, responsive subscribers, loyal customers and even active affiliates who promote anything and everything I sell online.

You can sum up the entire formula into the three major components I mentioned above, and create a fail-proof success system for your products, services and affiliate programs. After you've activated the formula, the best way to keep the momentum of traffic, leads and sales coming in on a consistent and even predictable basis, is in three words...

What those three words are, and how to use them by combining eight other powerful elements is carefully documented inside my book. But here's the process I used personally on my site:

1. My visitor is directed through a tracking link (or affiliate link) to a lead capture page called a "Name Squeeze" where prospects give their contact information in order to get details of my report.

2. Upon submitting their contact information, they are immediately directed to my sales page for the details, and offer for the Instant Traffic Formula Scientific Marketing Report.

3. My follow-up autoresponder system immediately sends them an email reminding them of my offer, giving a few testimonials of the report and sends them a link to check it out at another time. A few days later, they receive reminders of my offer, more quality feedback of my report, new articles and content about getting web traffic, and again - links back to my sales letter.

The lead capture page serves to "pre-qualify" visitors who actually want to read my sales letter to find out more about my offer. I've heard a lot of people claim many visitors (and sales) can be lost by forcing your prospects to "do something" before they get to your offer -- but my direct experimentation and results show the majority (64.86%) of visitors who hit my site, sign up.

Once my visitors sign up, they become leads and are set into my autoresponder system to receive consistent follow-ups until they buy, or unsubscribe. Thankfully, the autoresponder service I use (Aweber) allows me to easily direct my new subscribers to a custom "Thank You" page. Most web marketers still use the "default" thank you page and their subscribers are returned to a "thanks for subscribing - now close the window" type message. Useless.

My thank you page re-directs to a tested sales letter that continues the mental conditioning process by giving in-direct answers to questions that were created in the mind of my prospects upon reading, and signing up from my Name Squeeze.

Now that my three elements are together, I combine them with "CII" or the three most powerful words in all of marketing, and achieve phenomenal and consistent results over time.
Using just this part of the formula alone, can cause a massive shift in your bottom line. However, when the complete formula is both discovered and activated, you'll have a direct funnel to bring money "out of thin air" to you whenever you like, and for whatever you want.

Do this. Think of something you'd like to have.
Anything. It can be anything. Don't limit yourself.
A new car, a new house, a nice expensive necklace for a loved one -- anything.
Now put a price on it.
That's your goal. Your intention.
Write it down.
Next, get out a calculator and punch in the price of what you want.
Divide that number by the price for whatever item you want to sell.
Round up to the nearest whole number, and you've got a definite number.

This number equals the amount of sales you'll need to get your wish.

Now use the formula described in this article, and funnel the correct amount of sales into your business, by getting the traffic, pre-qualifying them, and going for the sale using CII to guide you along every step of the way -- until you reach your desired number of sales.

Once the sales you've accumulated equal your desired amount, you get your wish.
Try it for yourself and see the power in this technique to create anything you want.
Above all, stay focused... keep the momentum... and enjoy your prosperity in the new year!

Seven Success Secrets for 2006 (c) Charlie Page
http://www.realworldtactics.com/cmd.php?af=278684
-------------------------------------------------------

I think we have all asked the same question at one time or another. That question is ...
"What does it really take to succeed online?"
If we listen to the emails and websites we read, we hear many strong opinions.

* "Create your own product" they say.
* "Do joint ventures" says another.
* "Pay per click advertising is all you need" says yet another voice.

And they always make it sound so much easier than it really is, while loudly proclaiming that their way is the only way. And yet we know that can not be true.
So ... what DOES it take to succeed online?
While I will not pretend to have all the answers, I will share openly what has worked (and is working now) for me and my clients as well.
Experience has proven that focusing on these seven basics will yield results, no matter what market you are attempting to reach or product you are promoting.

1. YOU MUST HAVE A WEBSITE TO SUCCEED

It used to be that email was enough. But today you need a website. It is incredibly ironic that this vital beginning step is the step where so many people fail.

Creating a website can be hard if you don't know how.
But there is a solution, and that solution is blogging.

Using Blogger.com, you really can put meaningful content on the web today, and do it free.
If you have ever struggled to create a website, if you have been confused by HTML editors and all the technical mumbo-jumbo, try blogging today.

2. USE EMAIL TO FOLLOW UP

This is probably the #1 piece of advice I give clients, and it works almost every time.
The logic is undeniable.

If your site is wildly successful, over 90% of first time visitors will not buy on their first visit!
How are they going to remember to return to your site, when there are billions of sites online, many of which are probably your competitors?

You must remind them to come back. You must woo them back with enticing offers and give them solid reasons to do business with you. And nothing does that better than email.
If spending money is an issue, you can create a follow up system free at SendFree.com

3. LET THEM HEAR YOUR VOICE

There is no doubt about it ... content is king. People come online to find answers to their questions and solutions to their problems.

When your site is the one providing those answers and solutions, people will buy.
But first things first - people have to find your site. And that means getting listed in the search engines. And getting listed in the search engines means providing new content as often as you can.
I suggest adding content to your site every day, or at least every week.

The great thing here is that you don't have to write it! If you can write your own content, by all means do that. People love to hear from other real people, much more than they want to hear from some slick marketer.
If you can't write, or just don't want to, then look for resale rights products that offer articles.
Using Google, just enter this search phrase. "resale rights" + articles You will find lots of sites offering pre-written articles that you can use as content on your website.

4. BE COMMITTED

Here is a huge mistake that is made over and over again by very well-meaning people. They join a program, try making it work for six or seven weeks, then quit when things don't happen as quickly as they were lead to believe.

This is an understandable situation, but one that will lead to failure every time.
The fact is, success takes time. Just as you would not expect to open a pizza shop in your town and become an overnight success, so too you should not expect immediate success online.
It can happen, but it is rare, no matter how many say they have done it.

The key here is to do your homework before committing to any program or business. 'Doing your homework' includes asking questions, hearing from people who have succeeded with the program, getting wise counsel from people you respect, and taking the time to think it through.

Once you find a product or program you believe in, make a commitment to stick with it until you have tried everything possible to succeed.
That commitment will take time to accomplish, and you might just find that an extra month or three of hard work is the key that unlocks the success you desire.

5. EXPAND SLOWLY

There are many ways to make money on the Internet. There are even more ways to advertise or promote a product or program.
And that wide variety of choice is often the downfall of many a well-meaning person who is new to the ways of the Internet.

The best advice here is to choose one or two methods of marketing, and get a deep knowledge of what to do in each before moving forward.

One way to do that is to make a list of all the possible ways you could use to promote your offer. Then number the list, making #1 the method you think would be most likely to succeed.
Learn all you can about that method, moving on to your second choice only when you feel you have mastered the first tactic.

Doing this will help you save money, sell more products, and help you become an expert at marketing online, which will give you the power to sell any product to any market any time you want!

6. DEVELOP SALES RESISTANCE

This might sound odd coming from a guy who sells things online for a living, but it's a big one. So big, I almost made this number 1!

If you and I were to count how many products we have bought in the last 12 months that are going unused now, we might get downright depressed!
It's a fact, Internet marketers know how to sell. Their sites know how to get us to take action now, and boy do we buy. We buy things we don't need, and sometimes we buy the same thing over and over again!

The way to develop sales resistance, and keep more of your money in your pocket where it belongs, is to ask questions. Here are three that I ask before buying anything.

* Do I really need this now?
* Do I already own it, or own a similar product?
* What problem will this purchase solve?
* What is my specific plan for using this product in the next 24 hours?

I believe that we should buy what we need to succeed. Be that information, or a service, or a product to sell, you simply can not make money without spending money. But spending wisely is a must!

7. BE REALISTIC

We touched on this in point 4, but it's worth another look. My friend, sites that say you will earn $10,000, $20,000 or more in the next 90 days no matter what your current level of experience is are lying to you.

We live in an amazing time. The Internet has opened new possibilities to anyone with a connection and a burning desire to succeed. And that is a wonderful thing, one that will literally change our world.
But it takes skills and time to succeed online, and there is no getting around that.
Can you make a living online? For most people, the answer is yes. But that yes must be tempered with the knowledge that it takes work, certain skills, some startup money, and time to succeed online.

If you are realistic, it can work.

The seven secrets revealed above have passed the test of time, working for people on almost every continent and in every economic circumstance.

Let me encourage you to take these seven secrets and make them your own. Take time to choose what you want to accomplish online, then take action today using these seven secrets as your guide.

Henry David Thoreau said "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

Nowhere is that statement more true than on the Internet. I hope that 2006 is all you dream it to be.

Generating Self-Sustaining Website Traffic

2006-01-02T11:59:00.000-08:00

Generating Self-Sustaining Website TrafficCopyright 2005 by Willie CrawfordUpon returning from a recent seminar, I had two messagesfrom newspaper reporters on my answering machine. Theywere both seeking interviews. I also had emails showingthat I'd earned several thousand dollars while I wasout of town speaking. The orders had all been processedautomatically, and the emails were just for my information.It was at that point that I realized my Internet businesshad truly reached critical mass.Critical mass is a term that I first heard my friend JackHumphrey, author of Power Linking, use in reference togenerating website traffic and growing a business. Jack used it to define that point at which you could stop actively promoting your online business (for a while) and it would continue to grow and prosper.I'm sharing this with you because I want you to see thetools that enabled me to reach that point. This articlewill show you to see why those tools are so powerful. Let me begin by telling you that it took me eight years to grow my online business to the point where it is largely self-sustaining! I don't want to mislead you there. Abig part of success is unwavering persistence.Now, let's look at the tools I used to reach and maintaincritical mass.1) Search engine marketing. All of my important sitesARE manually submitted to the search engines. I submitand re-submit them "semi-automatically" though. I use asite called SelfPromotion.com. This site allows you tostore all relevant data about a site into their database.The software then submits your site to selected search engines and directories. The beauty of self-promotion.com is that you can then setit so that the software periodically resubmits your sites.It’s truly "set it and forget it" website promotion.SelfPromotion.com is free, but if you make a contribution,to help pay for the upkeep of the site, you get access tomore nifty tools. You can get a free account with them at:http://selfpromotion.com/?CF=Willie%20CrawfordThat URL lets Robert know that I sent you. I've used thistool for over 5 years now - and love it!2) Article marketing. I've written and distributed over300 articles. Articles establish you as an expert in themarketplace, build inbound links to your sites, pre-sellyour products, and help you rank higher in the search engines for your targeted keywords. The power of article marketing is that once the articlesare in circulation, and on hundreds... or even thousandsof websites, they can work for you forever. I still gettraffic to some of my websites from articles I wrote in1998!Many online marketers now use articles to market theirwebsites, but they don't do it very effectively. Articleshave to be written, and deployed, in a way that they bothgain you advantages in the search engines and that theyconvert readers into customers, subscribers, clients,and fans. That means your articles need SOLID content.In writing articles (or having them ghost written) youmust always remember that people surf the Internet lookingfor information and solutions to their problems. Yourarticles must actually provide this information or helpthem to actually solve their problems. Distribute articlesthat accomplish this, and you'll develop an endlessstream of raving fans, all storming your website for moreof YOU.Writing articles is relatively easy. If you don't knowhow to write articles though, I recommend that you takeadvantage of the training available at a site calledContent Propulsion Lab. Content Propulsion Lab teachesyou not only how to use articles to grow your business,but also how to use multi-media content (such as MP3'sand online video). You're shown how to deploymulti-media content in a way that causes the searchengines to gobble it up.I mentioned the multi-media content because, while articles work beautifully, website audio and video isgrowing at an amazing pace. You need to offer youraudience information in the formats that they preferconsuming it in. More and more, this format is becomingaudio and video. These formats allow your audience toconnect with you on a much deeper level since they see or hear a live person. Connecting with your audience on a deeper level means MORE sales.I now use Content Propulsion Lab's resources to push my content out to an amazing array of places. I also TEACHothers how to do this through tele-classes and webinarsfeatured at Content Propulsion Lab. You can check outall of the mind-boggling capabilities Content Propulsion Lab offers at: http://CashThroughContent.com3) Viral tools. A viral tool is merely something that, once set in motion, continues to grow, andspread, and benefit you, without any additional inputbeing required from you. Two of my favorite viral tools are online discussionforums and blogs. Online discussion forums allow people interested in a given topic to congregate andand discuss that topic. Over time, your discussion forumwill develop a core following who will help to spreadthe word, and help to maintain the community. Seekvolunteer moderators to help police the forum andmaintain standards. Many people will volunteer for alink back to their site, or just for the exposure.The number of blogs is growing exponentially. Blogsare proven traffic magnets. A blog allows you to shareinformation, opinions, etc. with your audience. If your blog engages your audience they will help tospread the word. At the same time, blogs are visitedfrequently by the search engines. Search engines notice which ones are updated often and become "trained" to spider those blogs often.Because blogs are spidered so often, it's one ofthe quickest ways that I know of to get a new sitenoticed by the search engines. Just post a link toone of your new sites on a blog that's frequentlycrawled, and the search engine spiders will follow that link and index your new site. This is VERYpowerful to be such a simple technique.Blogging is very simple, but there are lots of tricksand techniques that offer you an amazingly competitiveadvantage. My favorite blogging platform is WordPress,which I learned all about from my friend ShermanHu. Sherman has a series of short online videos thatexplain practically everything you could ever wantto know about blogging with WordPress.You can watch 22 (yes - 22) of Sherman's videos on WordPress blogging absolutely free at:http://ShermanHuOnWordPressBlogging.comOther viral tools include ebooks, PDF special reports,MP3 audio files, and Camtasia videos. We can't coverall of these here, but any of them could be created,and then offered to the marketplace. If they delivertremendous value, or even entertainment, they willbe passed along. If you create these viral tools properly, they will lead highly qualified traffic right back to your site.4) Link Building. People find, and then visit, yoursites by following trails. Those trails can be mentionsof your url in online or offline media, articles, press releases, and links on other sites pointing toyou. The more links you have pointing to you, thegreater the chance of someone finding one of thoselinks and visiting your site. So, you should set outon an aggressive effort to build quality links pointing to your site. Since I value quality links over sheer quantity,I have over the years simply emailed webmasters ofsites I wanted to exchange links with suggestingthe exchange. Now, I hire others to coordinate linkexchanges for me. This is a better use of my resourcesin the long-run than doing it myself, since there are services that do this fairly inexpensively. To locate one of these services, simply type in an appropriate term at the search engines.You can also set up an affiliate program as a way to reward others for linking to you. Affiliate programmanagement software, such as the one I use at http://ProfitAutomation.com allows you the option ofpaying people (on a per click basis) just for sendingtraffic to you. I do this on a few sites, but on most sites where I have affiliate programs, I pay on a per sale basis. This still generates a lot of one-waylinks but only costs you when those links make you sales.There are many, many more techniques that you canuse to build a steadily increasing flood of trafficto your sites. I use literally DOZENS of differentmethods. If you're looking for an "encyclopedia" of traffic generation methods, I highly recommend a course by my friend John Reese, called Traffic Secrets. You'll find John Reese's Traffic Secrets Course at:http://TrafficSecretsByJohnReese.comThe most important part of building your websites'traffic up to critical mass is just getting started.Pick ONE of the methods outlined above and get started.As you verify that a particular method works greatfor you, and your marketplace, keep using that one and then add others. If a particular method doesn't produce for you, stop wasting your time with it!One final thought... even when you build your websitetraffic to critical mass, you still should continue to promote. Yes, you'll continue making sales, but if you completely stop promoting, sales will eventually begin to drop off. Major international corporations such as Coke(tm) haveproven this over and over again. That's why you see these major corporations with MAJOR market domination continue to promote their products and services.Now that your understand the intricacies of generatingself-sustaining website traffic, what are you waitingfor :-)------------------------------Willie Crawford has taught PROVEN Internet marketingtechniques to thousands of successful Internet entrepreneurs since late-1996.

How To Generate Massive Free Website Traffic

2005-12-28T21:02:00.000-08:00

How To Generate Massive Free Website Traffic
Copyright © 2005 by Willie Crawford

I've been marketing online for almost 10 years, and generate
the majority of website traffic to most of my sites for free.
Today, I'll share with you how to create and maintain an
endless stream of highly-targeted website visitors for free.

The secret to generating all of the free website traffic that
you can handle is - understanding why your visitors are online
in the first place.

Many of your visitors are NOT online looking for items to
purchase... they are looking for information. Even people who
are planning on making a purchase soon, often research the
item online - but PLAN on buying it locally.

People go online looking for information. They go online
looking for answers to their questions, or solutions to
their problems. They go online looking for an easy way to find
the information that they need. If you provide this
information, and give your visitors a pleasant experience,
then they will often purchase related items from your site.

Understanding what your visitors are looking for should also
convince you that "content is king." Fill your website with
quality, accurate, current content, and it will attract lots of
visitors.

While articles are the “content” that most often comes
to mind, if you want to totally dominate your niche, you
need to employ content in multiple formats.

Articles are a great place to start. Write, or have written,
500 - 1500 word articles that focus on a very specific topic,
and they will be natural search engine magnets. In addition
to your own unique articles, use content written by others
to round out your site.

There is a science to using articles which many beginning
Internet marketers seem to struggle with. The key to
making articles work for you, is making them so valuable
that other websites and publishers actually search for more
of your material. They read one or two of your articles,
and gain so much value, that they want to offer their readers
and visitors MORE of your content.

At the same time, people who read your quality, helpful
articles will follow links to your sites looking for more of
the same.

Once you have a few articles, you also have all the material
you need to create viral traffic magnets in other formats.
My two favorite formats are PDF special reports and short
Camtasia videos.

You can take the same topic/material that you've developed
an expertise on, and written articles on, and turn it into a
"special report." To turn an article into a PDF special
report, you just expand upon what is covered in the article.
Then you use software to convert the text file to PDF. There
are numerous pieces of software that allows you to do this.

One free tool for converting Microsoft Word ® documents to
PDF is called PDF995. You can find it offered from numerous
websites just by doing a search on it at any search engine.

Microsoft Word treats PDF995 as another printer. So you just
tell MS Word to print your document, and you choose PDF995 as
your printer. In a few seconds, you have a PDF document ready
to distribute.

People place a higher value on PDF documents than they do on
articles. Perhaps it's because the PDF documents appear to
take more work to create. I just showed you that it really
doesn't take more work though. Still, PDF documents have a
longer "shelf life" and get passed around a LOT!

When setting up your PDF special reports, include links back
to your sites. Make these live hyperlinks. Then give people
a reason, or an incentive, to pass your PDF document on. If
it contains lots of useful information, or is brandable and
pays an affiliate commission, the PDF will soon "go viral"
(spreading without any additional effort on your part).

A step up from the PDF, is using Camtasia videos as viral
traffic generators. Take the same material that you used to
create the articles and the PDFs, add some pictures and
sound to it, and you have a video.

Camtasia is a piece of screen capture software that records
whatever you have on your computer screen. You'll find it at:
http://techsmith.com/

Using Camtasia, you can demonstrate using a piece of
software, or show some slides that you've created. AS you step
through your presentation on your computer screen you record
the whole thing. At the same time that you’re recording the
video portion, you can add narration, simply using your
microphone plugged right into your computer's microphone jack.

The really powerful feature of Camtasia is that it allows you
to specify what webpage, or where, the viewer will be taken
at the end of the video. You can take them back to the
beginning of the video to watch it all over again if you're
teaching something challenging. You can also have it take
them right to an online webpage or order form for a product
that you're recommending. This is a way of driving traffic
to a target site without requiring any action on the part of
your viewer.

If you'd like to know more about how to use articles or
multi-media content to generate website traffic, I recommend
going through the tutorials at Content Propulsion Lab. You are
taught how to generate and use content in all of the formats
covered above. You're also taught the secret to making your
multi-media content "search engine friendly." You'll find
Content Propulsion Lab at: http://CashThroughContent.com

A final way to generate an incredible amount of website
traffic is to create a website that, just by its very nature,
creates "buzz." Cute, creative, inspirational, or
information-packed sites can develop a following just
because they are that “good!”

An example of a site that's fast-developing into such a “buzz”
site that you can model is at: http://TheBestCatHouseEver.com
The url for the site is a play on words, and is one of the
factors that is causing the site to take off. Another factor
is the fact that the site focuses on cute, cuddly cats...
man's second favorite pet. People will flock to this site
just because of the cute cat photos, and then they'll tell
their friends about the site.

Create a site like http://TheBestCatHouseEver.com - tell the
world about it through articles and press releases - and
before you know it, you'll have a flood of free traffic. If
you choose to, you can then redirect some of this traffic to
your other sites.

You can also set up the viral site so that it's your main
profit center. For example, http://TheBestCatHouseEver.com
can earn money from Google AdSense, sponsor links, affiliate
products, and a store selling novelty items related to the
theme of the site.

I've just shown you ways to generate a FLOOD of highly-
targeted, responsive, free traffic to your websites. The
methods seem fairly simply, but they are proven. I use them
everyday. Incorporate them into your marketing mix and
you'll soon find your website traffic rapidly increasing. Get
started today.

Starting Your Home Based Business on a Shoestring Budget

Starting Your Home Based Business on a Shoestring Budget
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212

Whether seeking a supplemental income or a
full-time income, many folks have undertaken the
task to discover a viable home based business
solution to meet their personal needs.

For most folks who contemplate a home business, a
low-cost or no-cost solution is not only nice,
but also very necessary. Many also seek to find a
home business that will permit them to maintain
their regular day job in order to protect their
base income.

Taking the cautious approach to a home based
business and keeping one's job during the
start-up period is often a very good decision. By
maintaining one's job, one can maintain the
health of their personal finances while
permitting their home business grow healthy and
strong.

Fortunately, most home based businesses can be
started with little or no cash, can be maintained
on a shoestring budget, and can be operated
successfully with only a part-time investment.

One day, the business will be strong enough to
support itself and its owner. When that time
comes, it will make good sense for the business
owner to leave his or her outside job to dedicate
more time to growing and maintaining their new
thriving home based business. You will know when
that time has finally arrived.

The nature of a home based business makes it easy
and very realistic for most folks to take the
plunge into home business ownership.

Yet, many folks put off starting their own home
based business, because they have the
misconception that they will have to risk
thousands of their own hard-earned dollars at
start-up. Then later, if their business fails,
they fear they may be forced to take out a second
mortgage on their house just to stay out of
bankruptcy.

Are you one of these folks? Do you let your fears
of failure keep you from reaching for your dreams?

If so, then allow me to introduce you to a few
home business ideas that you can start for less
than $100 and can be started and operated very
profitably as a part-time business.

THE LIFEBLOOD OF ALL SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES

First of all, let me advise you to search out a
business model that will deliver steady and
repeat business. It is the one thing --- above
all others --- that will assure that your company
can survive the test of time.

HOME-BASED MAIL ORDER:
Home-based mail order is a good example of how
one can quickly grow a home business income. Mail
order is a low cost start-up business that can be
launched for around $100 USD.

With proper planning, your home-based mail order
business will not require up-front inventory
purchases. In the mail order business, it is not
uncommon to rely upon drop-shippers for product
fulfillment services.

By utilizing drop-shippers, we can sell the
products, collect the money and then purchase the
products from the wholesale outlet. The wholesale
outlet will then put a return address for your
company on the product packaging and deliver the
product directly to your customer.

Your primary expense in the mail-order business
is advertising. Classified advertising tends to
be a relatively inexpensive form of advertising
with thousands of outlets available to the small
business owner.

WHOLESALE BUSINESS:
Buy low --- sell high. You can acquire high
quality, top-of-the-line merchandise for a
fraction of the retail cost. Starting a wholesale
business would require a Wholesale Dealers
Directory as your source for merchandise. You can
find a Wholesale Deales Directory by using any
search engine to look up the term.

AUCTIONS:
Auctions can be an excellent source for buying
cheap and selling high. Both government auctions
and Internet auctions can lead to some excellent
profit opportunities. Auctions are an excellent
tool for both acquiring and selling merchandise.

MAKE AND SELL YOUR CRAFTS:
Crafts are a hot seller at country fairs, swap
meets or anyplace where people gather. Make your
own crafts and sell them for a tidy profit!

SELLING INFORMATION:
Selling information by mail is another good
example of an inexpensive home based business
start-up. One can gain the resale rights to
information for usually about $50 USD. Other
costs will include printer cartridges, paper and
postage. There are plenty of free classifieds
sites on the Internet, in which to successfully
advertise your information.

WRITE INFORMATIONAL BOOKLETS:
Write and publish your own informational
booklets; sell them at a high price! All you need
is a little know-how, a printer, paper and
stamps. This is a GREAT home business idea! You
can also sell the resale rights to others, for
extra profits. In this age of the Internet, you
may also take advantage of the fact that selling
information is one of the most profitable
endeavors one can pursue online.

OFFICE SERVICES:
Offer office services for hire in your local
paper. You'll be surprised at the amount of
regular office business that can be gleaned from
one little classified ad. Word processing, typing,
accounting, data entry, proofreading,
transcription, promotional letters and
newsletters. All these tasks can be accomplished
right from your own home office.

AVON REPRESENTATIVE:
Yes, Avon's been around for eternity, hasn't it?
Then it's not such a bad prospect as a home based
business, is it? I once knew a woman who did so
much business as an Avon rep. that she had people
calling her and knocking at her door wanting to
order products at all hours of the day and night!
Once you are an established Avon representative,
you, too, will turn a good profit.

CONCLUSION:
On your search for the ideal home based business,
try not to get caught up in any scams that will
run off with your money. There are thousands of
scam artists out there just waiting for the
next sucker to come along. Remember, if it sounds
too good to be true, then it probably is. Just
use your good judgement and invest wisely in
proven methods of earning extra income.

Finding Your Home Business Niche

Finding Your Home Business Niche
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212

When some folks begin to think about a business
of their own, they know in that very moment what
kind they are going to start. Then, there are the
rest of us...

Knowing that we want to have a business of our
own is not enough. Many of us have struggled with
the important question of what type of enterprise
we would like to start.

Franchises offer a simple pre-packaged money
making idea, but the cost of a franchise often
makes it a prohibitive option to most folks who
contemplate going out on their own.

For those who do not have a million dollars to
buy a McDonalds franchise, we must look to other
ideas for our own business.

There are literally hundreds of lucrative home
business ideas for you to choose from, which will
suit every type of personality and all levels of
financing. From selling information on the
Internet as a infopreneur, to growing delicious
gourmet mushrooms for sale to restaurants and
catering companies; there is a pile of money to
be made by filling a need, for these and a host
of other necessary services.

Of course, actually liking what you do, will have
a lot to do with the success of your new venture,
so be sure to pick a home business that you'll
enjoy running and that will keep you motivated.

For example, if you're a math whiz, an accounting
or income tax service might be the ideal home
business for you to start. Perhaps writing is
your forte and you'd like to start your own
home based copywriting service or advertising
agency. Each of these businesses can be run
successfully--and profitably from the comfort of
your own home.

Academia might not be your cup of tea, but maybe
you are good with your hands --- having a
creative genius where crafts are concerned. Craft
items are red-hot sellers at swap meets, country
fairs and world wide over the Internet, and they
can provide you with solid profits. If crafts
don't interest you, then why not start a laundry
service with pick-up and delivery, or a shopping
service for shut-in's--even a companion service or
granny sitter or a doctor shuttle service; any of
which, could be much in demand, in and around
your neighborhood or community.

When brainstorming new ideas for your future home
business, keep in mind the soul of any successful
endeavor is providing a product or service that
others will actually purchase in quantities.
Satisfy the needs of your target market, and your
target market will keep you and your home based
business healthy, happy and profitable.

Below are some suggestions for home business
ideas that might help you decide on a suitable
venture in which to invest.

Multi-level-marketing (mlm), floral/plant service
for offices and hospitals, pooper-scooper
service, dog walking service, answering service,
vending machine service, gift basket service,
homemade soap maker, mobile windshield repair
service, mobile tire repair service, income tax
specialist, researcher, freelance writer,
business card and letterhead designer, courier,
shut-in/shuttle service, landscaping service, tree
trimming service, wood crafter, carpenter, crafts
and crafting supplies, pool cleaning service,
plants/nursery starts, growing herbs, growing
mushrooms, garage sale and swap meet vendor,
proofreader, private investigator, typing
service, interior decorator/designer, website
design, wedding consultant, hot lunch/snack
vendor at local courthouses, pet sitting service,
pet grooming service, Internet entrepreneur,
paralegal, gourmet catering service, new media
production, mobile cosmetic technician, mobile
nail technician, mobile hair stylist, aerobics
instructor, personal fitness trainer, advertising
consultant, companion service, small printing
service.

Ideas, ideas; hopefully the above ideas will give
you some fresh ideas of your own to mull over. A
spring board if you will, on which to dive into
your own chosen home business.

When you work from home, any business you start
has the potential to explode into a perpetual
gold mine! It just depends on how much your home
business is in demand around your community or on
the Internet. Your home business might start
slow and steady, regularly picking up clients as
you become more established. On the other hand,
your chosen home business may take off like
wildfire, quickly becoming too hot for you to
handle by yourself (well done!). This is the time
to enlist the help of willing family members to
help you out in your time of need, which will
make your business into a friendly, family
concern. This will also help family members
better understand your business and get a grasp
on the mechanics of profit.

Good luck in all your decisions and have fun with
your home business, which ever one you choose,
and don't forget to enjoy your newfound freedom!

question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

Your Home Business: Turning Pennies into Dollars

Your Home Business: Turning Pennies into Dollars
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212

Henry Ford taught us that to simplify the
manufacture of automobiles, that the best way to
do so was to install the assembly line. That one
change revolutionized the auto manufacturing
industry permitting the industry to build cars at
a cost whereas the average person could afford to
buy one.

The lesson we should take from this is that
having the ability to improve the process of
getting the job quicker and cheaper, without
compromising the quality of the job being done,
will help catapult the person who simplified the
process to the top of his/her field.

Pennies saved in your home business can turn into
dollars at the end of the day, and dollars can
quickly multiply into hundreds or thousands of
dollars over time.

Doubt me if you will, but let me ask you a
question. Do you think a saving of two fifths of
a penny could make any real difference in the
profit margin of a home business? Of course
the right answer is "it depends on how many
transactions are done in a year, utilizing the
savings of the two fifths of one penny."

You only have to think back a couple of decades
to really appreciate this question. Do you
remember the nut that lived and died in a Las
Vegas hotel room? You know the one who was a
billionaire, and was so worried about germs that
he died of starvation? If you guessed Howard
Hughes (1905-76), pat yourself on the back.

Now Howard did not make all of his money on his
two fifths of one penny. He did however make a
ton of money from his two fifths of one penny. It
seems Howard owned a can manufacturing company.
And one day, Howard's team figured out how they
could make one minor change in the design of
their food can to reduce the amount of tin
necessary to make a single can.

As the story goes --- if my memory serves me
correctly --- the reduction in tin usage equaled
a saving of two fifths of one penny per can.
Howard --- being the really smart businessman
that he was --- decided that he would not be so
greedy as to keep all of the savings for himself.
What Mr. Hughes did do was to keep half of the
savings for himself, and give the other half
to his customers. The incredible thing about Mr.
Hughes decision is that by saving his customers
an extra one fifths of one cent per can, he
managed to take more market share away from his
competition --- netting his company an additional
and substantial portion of the total market share
in the canning industry.

Let us return our thoughts to your home business.
Have you ever gotten the feeling of excitement
--- when you read something or thought of
something --- that you could not wait to
implement this new idea? This could be one of
those moments...

In every home business, there are certain
processes that we do over and again. Sometimes it
may be possible to trim the time or expense of a
process which in turn will add pennies or dollars
to your bottom line. If it is a process that you
do hundreds or thousands of times per month, then
your savings will multiply into hundreds or
thousands of dollars in monthly savings.

Imagine what running a home business was like
BEFORE the computer...

Before the personal computer, we had to hand type
all letters and invoices. Now, we can setup a
letter or invoice that we send out quite often,
and we can save it in our word processor so
that when we need to use it again, we can print
it quickly and efficiently. There is no longer a
need to type the document again from scratch.

The computer has simplified our business
communications and has provided us the
opportunity to reduce our costs of doing business.

Think about all of the other processes that the
computer has enabled us to do for far less
expense than what we could in the past.

In this case, the computer is a tool that permits
us to save time and money.

So, my challenge to you is to begin examining the
processes in your own home business and look for
ways in which you can save yourself time and
money. It is far better for you to contemplate
on this matter than it is for me to do so for
you. Simply put, you know your business better
than anyone on the planet does. Therefore, you
are in a better position than anyone to find
those extra dollars that will decrease your costs
and increase your profits.

The extra pennies and dollars you could extract
from your business could spell the difference
between success and failure for your home
business enterprise.

Starting Your Home Based Business on a Shoestring Budget

Networking Your Home Business within Circles of Influence
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212

When you need an auto mechanic or an air
conditioning repairman, where do you turn for
help? Sure, some people turn to the yellow
pages. But most will turn to friends and family
and ask if they know of anyone who can do the
work.

The best place for your business to be positioned
is to be the business on the tips of the tongues
of the people asked to make the referral.

THE 300 RULE

Preachers, funeral directors and people in a few
other professions have learned "the 300 rule"
through their own personal experience.

"The 300 rule" states that the average person
knows 300 people on a friendly level. Wedding
planners tend to make reservations for 300
guests. Funeral directors tend to need to make
room for 300 mourners. You get the idea.

DOODLING WITH CIRCLES OF INFLUENCE

Imagine your circle of friends, family and
acquaintances, a.k.a. your circle of influence.
Now, draw your circle of influence as a circle on
a blank piece of paper.

Next, contemplate the people in your parents'
circle of influence. Some people who know your
parents also know you. Therefore, you will share
some influence with the people your folks know.
Now draw your parents' circle of influence on your
piece of paper.

Your circle and your parents' circle will
intersect in one area, although the larger
majority of the two circles will not intersect.
If you are like most people, the two circles on
your page at this point looks very similar to the
MasterCard logo.

Now imagine drawing a page full of intersecting
circles, each circle representing the circle of
influence of the people who are within your own
circle of influence. Imagine trying to
encapsulate an accurate rendering of where your
circle and the circle of your friends will
actually intersect.

Some circles will share a large area of space,
while others will barely cover one another.

Actually, you can only imagine at this point what
your piece of paper will look like. The actual
layout of the circles imagined in this analogy is
simply too overwhelming for the mind to
comprehend.

THE BIG PICTURE

300 multiplied by 300 equals 90,000. By using the
analogy of doodles in the previous section, the
average person can actually network with up to
90,000 people! Even factoring in the overlap,
one can still probably network with 50,000 people
through their own circle of influence!

Simply amazing, isn't it?

HERE IS THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS

There are 300 people on this planet whom you have
a reasonable amount of influence. Take advantage
of this fact. Make darn sure that every person
within your own circle of influence KNOWS that
you are in business for yourself, and make sure
they understand what your business offers.

When your friend is asked to make a referral,
they will recommend you.

PASSIVE VERSUS ACTIVE REFERRAL NETWORKING

When people ask your friends for a referral and
your friend mentions your business, that is
passive referral networking.

Active referral networking is when you can get
your friends go directly to their friends and say
"Hey, I have a friend who just started a
business. If you are in need of what he offers or
you know someone who will need his services,
would you please give my friend a call or make
the referral to his business?"

If you can get even a portion of the people in
your own circle of influence to actively refer
your business, then you have built the foundation
to build an advertising campaign even more
effective than the average local television
advertising campaign.

Think about that for a moment.

Most people only dream of reaching 50,000
potential customers with their television
advertising dollars. You now have the knowledge
to reach 50,000 people without spending a single
penny.

Is a Home Business Right for You?

2005-11-23T20:13:00.000-08:00

Is a Home Business Right for You?
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212

Every morning as people wake up and make the
commute to work, many dream of the day when they
will finally work for themselves. Every time the
boss lets someone know that they must give up
their weekend plans for the good of the company,
people contemplate the benefits of being the
owner of their own business.

Are you one of these people?

If you are, it is important to ask yourself some
very important questions before you make the
uncertain leap into self-employment.

Many dream of the benefits of home business
ownership, but few take into account the
sacrifices that must be made to bring the dream
to fruition. Please don't make this mistake
yourself.

You must approach home business ownership with
your eyes wide open. Ask yourself the important
questions, and more importantly, answer your own
questions openly and honestly.

AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION

Are you the type of person who relishes every
chance to gather around the water cooler for
social interaction?

If so, then home business ownership may not be
the right decision for you.

Instead, if you feel that you can be quite
content sitting alone at your desk; speaking only
to clients and really minding your own home
business, then you might have what it takes to
succeed as a home business entrepreneur.

If you feel at ease with your own company and
don't need a dozen coworkers milling around your
desk, then you, too, could savor the freedoms
that will allow you and your family, to live the
lifestyle you know you want and deserve.

THE KEY TO HOME BUSINESS SUCCESS

Self-motivation is the key to success when you
start a home-based business. You need to possess
the ability to push yourself ahead. Your drive
and determination will be reinforced with every
new sale.

The level of success that you will achieve
greatly depends on the time and effort you are
willing to plow into your new home business. Your
organization, planning and marketing skills, will
all be put into practice when you embark on your
liberating journey from employee, to being your
own boss. In fact, you will be the wearer of many
hats and gain a wealth of business experience
along the way, when you finally make that
commitment to work at home.

YOUR SUCCESS RESTS ENTIRELY UPON YOUR OWN
SHOULDERS

You will now be the boss. Are you truly able to
work independently? Do you have the drive; the
tenacity, to persevere with your home based
business? Will you be able to invest the
necessary time to nurture it, to watch it grow
and see it through, from germination to full,
glorious bloom? When you're the boss, you are
responsible for the success of your home
business, from A to Z, from disappointments to
victory.

When you work at home, it will empower you to
achieve many things you were unable to do when
you were stuck working for that tyrant boss.
Remember him? He's the guy that wouldn't let
you take time off when your baby was sick...the
same guy that called you in to work on
Thanksgiving Day.

A home business means that you can take good care
of your family and make money from home,
simultaneously. You will have the best of both
worlds! Just think--no more dirty laundry piling
up--you can do it while you work. No more
scurrying around at the last minute searching for
a babysitter either. And no more worrying about
getting fired; you'll be the boss!

IN CONCLUSION...

Stay positive and focused on your home based
business, even if, when sales aren't up to par,
you get occasional negative remarks or derogatory
comments from people with stuffy, dead-end jobs.
Ignore their cutting words and bear in mind that
success is the best revenge! Keep your admirable,
positive attitude at the forefront and show them
what you're made of!

How to Maximize the Value of Your Time

How to Maximize the Value of Your Time
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212

How is your business doing? Is it growing,
stagnating or losing ground? If your business is
not growing, it could be the result of a poor
business idea or plan, a lack of advertising, or
the mismanagement of your business’ resources.

Let’s face it. Running a successful business
enterprise is not the easiest thing to accomplish.

Your struggles could be the result of factors
beyond your own control or factors within your
control --- your own actions and decisions.

FACTORS OUTSIDE YOUR OWN CURRENT CONTROL

If your business is stagnating or dying, there
are several factors that could be the cause of
your current financial discomfort:

· Your local economy could be suffering
stagnation or negative growth.
· Your competition might be fiercely competing
for your customer base.
· The building, into which you have signed a
lease, might be seen by local residents as the
home of businesses that fail, so they will not
support you until you have proven your long term
viability.
· You could be in a terrible location and trapped
by your lease.

FACTORS WITHIN YOUR OWN CONTROL

On the other side of the coin, there are several
more factors that could be causing you pain that
are well within your control:

· You are not spending enough time planning for
the future of your business.
· You are not spending enough time or resources on
developing and distributing good advertising.
· You do not have enough staff available to fill
incoming orders or to serve interested customers.
· You are simply mismanaging your financial or
human resources.

THE MOST ABUSED HUMAN RESOURCE IN MOST BUSINESSES

By watching the activities of many small business
owners, one has to ask themselves if the business
owners are masochistic?

Source: www.dictionary.reference.com
MASOCHISTIC - adj : 2. The deriving of pleasure,
or the tendency to derive pleasure, from being
humiliated or mistreated, either by another or by
oneself.
3. A willingness or tendency to subject oneself
to unpleasant or trying experiences.

How is it that I can even venture to suggest this
definition fits the behavior of many small
business owners?

Simple. Small business owners often submit
themselves and their families to the demands of
their business. Sometimes to the detriment of
those involved in their lives.

Of course, one could argue that the small
business owner is sacrificing his or herself for
the long-term benefit of their families and
themselves.

Well, one could argue that. And in some cases,
the argument would be true. In other cases, the
argument would not even remotely be true.

THE DANGER IN FAILING TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF
YOUR OWN TIME

The deadliest consequence in any business is the
owner’s failure to understand the value of his or
her own time. Even a thriving business can die
under the weight of an owner who does not place
the proper value on his or her own time.

Some owners work long hours for little return
because they do not understand their own value.
Some of these owners will eventually quit their
business for a job that could provide a higher
living wage. Others, while thriving, may keep
themselves doing tasks that can be and should be
done by others. Sometimes, the business owner
wants to believe that he or she alone can do
the task, or they want to do the things they most
enjoy.

In the end, these folks fail because the
important tasks that should have been done for
the purpose of growing the business or meeting
the demands of the business have gone undone. The
business collapses because they did not take care
of the most important facets of their business.

PLANNING, GOAL SETTING AND MEASURING COULD CHANGE
YOUR FUTURE

PLANNING will permit you to see where you want to
go and how you hope to get there.

GOAL SETTING permits you to make certain specific
determinations about your business. One such goal
that should be set early and regularly is the
level of income that you want to derive from
your business.

MEASURING lets you see the true state of your
business at any one point in time. Measuring at
regular intervals lets you see a moving slide
show that will deliver an honest picture of the
continuing state of your business.

Additional measuring will permit you to see how
much your time could be worth and how much you
are really paying yourself. Your measurements
should also permit you to put a cost on the
specific tasks and functions that are required in
the operation of your business.

MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS

If the amount that you want to be paid and could
be paid is higher than the cost of doing the task
that you are doing, then you should wisely
consider having someone in your employment handle
the task.

Properly managing tasks and delegating the work
at hand can make or break your business. Make the
correct decisions and you will be treating
yourself better than the average small
businessperson.

I wish you and your business the very best.

Finding Your Home Business Niche

Fast-Track Your Journey to Online Success

Fast-Track Your Journey To Online SuccessCopyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212No one has ever logged onto the Internet for the first time and started pocketing dollars in a really short period of time. As with all things in life, there is a learning curve.SOME PERSONAL HISTORYJust a few short years ago, I was a working stiff just like you.One day, I bought and read a book called "Multiple Streams of Income" by bestselling author, Robert Allen. Immediately, I began my journey.Every night after work and after my wife and children went to sleep, I would get online and explore different ways of using the Internet to make money.In the 2 years that followed, I spent over $10,000.00 racking up credit card debt buying eBooks, membership sites, special reports, opt-in leads, and joining every "guru" recommendedbusiness opportunity that flew into my email inbox...I stayed up learning, working and drinking coffee until 5:00 in the morning month after month filled with the hope of making money online.In my 3rd year of working part-time to build an home based income, I finally broke through and earned over $100,000.00 in just 12 months from the Internet.BECOME THE MASTER OF YOUR LEARNING CURVEResearch the lives of all of the guru's. The one thing that you will learn is that my own experience is not unique. Most of the high earners on the Internet experienced a learning curve very similar to my own.Chances are that your curve will also be similar to mine, but it is my hope that you can get to the top faster than even I did. Three years was a long time to struggle, but every ounce ofstruggle was worth the reward I have finally received.In order to shorten your own learning curve, you must do a few things differently than the rest of us did. You must become themaster of your learning curve.THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS A STRAIGHT LINEThere is only one way to shorten the curve on the Internet, "you must plan to succeed."Here is the deal. Most people put up a freebie website and select a few affiliate programs to add to their website. Right out of the gate, most people are running for the finish line without any real plan in mind.After a few short weeks, people begin to see the writing on the wall that says, "This is going to be a long hard road."People check their hit counters daily for six weeks before they realize that getting traffic to their free site is going to be tough.At this point, they begin developing their first batch of advertising. Then they spend countless months finding places to show their advertisements for free. Some make an even moredrastic mistake by blowing thousands of hard earned dollars on their new and untested ads.These are the people who will learn the facts of life the hard way.In time, they will learn how to make their advertising work for them. But most will earn very little money from their affiliate programs.At this point in the learning curve, most people throw up their hands and walk away from their dreams in utter disgust. Instead of a walking away point, this should have convinced thestruggling online entrepreneur that they were simply traveling the wrong road.YOU MUST PLAN TO SUCCEEDFrom day one, you must begin to learn about the nuances of web promotion. Read everything you can get your hands on. Don't just read the hype, back it up with the opinions of others who havereviewed the same programs before you came along. Learn from their mistakes and successes.As you begin to learn, you must also look to make a decision. Do you want to step into a pre-built program that is designed to help you to succeed, OR do you want to create a completely new program of which you are the sole owner?If you decide to step into a pre-designed and complete turn-key online money making venture, then you must select the right venture to step into. If this is your decision, then pleaseexamine my program along with the others. You can review my Plug In Profit Site program at: http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212If you decide to go the journey on your own, then do all of the necessary research, planning and preparation that is needed for your success.PREPARE TO SUCCEEDDecide upon what you think you would want to do, and then figure out how your planned site will generate a real income.Internet old-timers know about hundreds of corporation domains that existed with IPO millions, but did not have an actual moneyplan that could sustain their business model. Most of these companies were among the hundreds of companies that bellied up in the 2000 dot bomb experience.Don't blindly believe in your plan. Research others on the web who have undertaken similar business models and see if they have survived. Study your competitors in depth to learn what isworking for them and what did not work for them. To better understand what has or has not worked for competitor websites, check out their time lapsed progressions using the Wayback Machine: http://www.archive.orgOnce you have determined your money plan, then you should undertake the development of a business plan and a marketing plan. Utilize professional assistance if you need to do so.While creating your plans, make a determination as to which domain name you think would be best, then use the domain name wizard at Host4Profit to find the perfect domain for your business:http://www.host4profit.com/cgi-bin/home.cgi?78405Once you have developed your business plan and marketing plan and have run them through several revisions, then it will be time to buy your domain name and to begin work with a site designer and developer. You may need to have your domain sitting on a web host for your site developer, but this is not always necessary. While they are doing their work, enlist a copywriter to help you with your site sales copy.When your site designer and developer have your site working, you should then undertake significant testing to make sure everything works as planned. It is much harder to fix problemson a operational site than it is to fix problems on a site that is yet to be launched.When testing is done, then you should fill in your sales copy and then shoot for launch. Of course, you already have a marketing plan in place, so your preparation here will be simplya matter of putting the pieces of the puzzle into place.You are finally ready to open for business. Don't be afraid to spend the money to bring your dream alive. Time can replace money in the goal of starting a profitable online business, but money invested can shave years off of your company's growth.If you want to save a lot of time and get your very own money making website setup within the next 24 hours, review and sign up for my Plug-In Profit Site service today at: http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212About The Author:--------------------------------------------------Stone Evans Will Personally Build A Money Making Website Just For You That's 100% Ready To Take Orders And Pull In Massive Residual Profits Today!Get All The Exciting Details And Signup Now At: http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-10212--------------------------------------------------
