Set Your Home Based Business FREE!


Why is it that some Internet Businesses are very Successful and others never get their heads above the water? I think most of the problems fall on the ones who are in charge of their own website. As owners of our own website we are in charge of our website’s success either we bound it or set it FREE. Yes, we are in charge of our own Success. If we bound our website it can’t produce what it could if it was set FREE. As owners of our website some don’t understand how to set their website FREE.

We are in complete control of our website’s Success. We either release it and set it Free or we bound it to struggle along. And we get frustrated and angry because our website is not producing profits for us yet. So we blame it on the website or products for the failure of our website’s Success. And the sad thing is all this is happening and we don’t realize it.

You would not believe all the excuses I’ve heard over the years from people telling me why their website was a flop. I hear these excuses; because of bad products or poor website design. They tell me that they had no money to promote their website. Or they tell me no money was coming in and they cancelled their subscription. And now they are looking for another program to join. This is just a few of the excuses I’ve heard over the years.

I almost feel sorry for these people. Why? Because they missed the main point. I guess they thought it was going to be a piece of cake. Maybe they believed the get rich scams lies. Who knows? It takes time to get a home based business up and running. But, I can say this much, if you stay with it long enough your website will start producing profits.

Most people quit just one step from reaching Success. That’s right most people are quitters by heart. They talk a lot, but don’t do enough to make things happen.

So, How do we set our website FREE? We bound our website’s poetical by not Advertising it enough. It’s very simple to make your website a Success. Our website is only as good as how much we advertise it. Just advertise the heck out of your website. Remember, the more links you have pointing back to your website the more money you will make. And this is a fact!

So, start TODAY placing ads everywhere, Paid and FREE ads. Offline and online. Make some flyers, index cards and business cards. Start placing your flyers everywhere, be creative. Place your index cards on bulletin boards at laundry mats and Supermarkets. Give your business cards to your waitress, bank teller, and cashiers.

So, there you have it. The formula to: “How To Set Your Home Based Business FREE” Stay focused and start placing ads everywhere online and offline, everyday for one year. And see what happens. You’ll be absolutely amazed at the results you’ll get from your efforts. I know when I done this very thing I was very surprised at the results.

Finding A Profitable Home Business!!!


Often times, the promises of some companies are thick with lies and inaccuracies. At other times, disappointment comes when individuals fail in some way to really look into it.

There are different ways to go about finding a profitable home business. With some businesses, you may choose to be entirely independent, or, you may work as a subcontractor for a larger brand-name company. Here, the first choice will be what is looked at. This article will tell you how to go about finding a profitable home business for yourself.

Do Your Research With Open Eyes

There are a lot of programs being offered to people who want to work at home - that are simply not true. It usually is the same ones that promise that you will make a lot of money within a rather short time. In selecting your business, be discerning, because this will be seen often - but this is not reality. It is not a good idea to join some program without doing more research. Decide whether or not the promises are real, by looking at support from other groups and individuals.

Research the Opportunity Well

There are many ways to go about finding a profitable home business. The list of such opportunities probably has no end, but each of them should be examined carefully to see if all is what it seems.

Extra care should be given if you are looking into an opportunity that a web company is offering. Learn all you can about the company from different sources including the Better Business Bureau. Many scams abound on the internet - simply because they are rather easy to start up, operate, and disappear when convenient. Especially be wary if there are large start up fees. It would be a good idea to read some of the scam reports, too.

Many Profitable Home Businesses Are Available

The list here is growing rapidly as people get more inventive. Just about anything can be done from home, all you need is either a service or a product (s), that is in demand. The possibilities, range from pet-grooming, to catering, to writing resumes, or being an accountant, and many more. Who knows, after you look around, and spend the necessary time finding a profitable home business, you might be the first in your chosen business field.

Tips for Promoting your Home Business Idea or Opportunity


From the beginning of commerce, businesses have been promoting the ideas and products of other businesses as a way to make their own business a successful one. For example, you may see that a tax consulting company may promote a particular tax lawyer in order to get more business while that tax lawyer will also promote that consulting company in his firm.

Everyone has heard of the term, barter system, and may have thought this system is outdated and not used anymore. However, with modern technology, the barter system is still alive. People still trade services and items rather than using money. The business of Internet marketing is proof that the barter system is still alive.

In the Internet Marketing world, we call this new form of the barter system, cross promoting. This system is in place to trade advertising space between websites on the Internet. Advertising companies in the past have charged top dollar for premium advertising space on the most prominent bill boards or radio stations with millions of listeners.

Now, with the availability of the Internet, instead of paying for advertising space in this way, you would place the ad for your own home based business idea or opportunity on another website while the other website places their ad on your website. Cross promoting can be done in many ways and can be a very cost effective way for you to advertise your Internet business.

Reciprocal linking is one major way that webmasters help each other to advertise their products, services and opportunities. Exchanging links with other similar websites as your own, is a very effective method, but you should be aware of who your direct competition is and avoid promoting products and services that are exactly the same as yours.

One of the best things about exchanging links, or ads, with other similar websites is that each website benefits from becoming more popular in the eyes of the search engines. Search engines look at the number of links into a website from other websites throughout the Internet and determines the importance of each website based on these factors. For example, if you are able to exchange links with another website that has a higher search engine ranking than your own, you will benefit greatly from the popularity of that website.

Based on this premise, reciprocal linking to a more popular site can not only help increase your advertising ability and website traffic, but will also increase the popularity of your own website by getting your website rated higher in search engine rankings.

Reciprocal linking leads into more opportunities to promote more of your ideas to your customers. When customers or prospects subscribe to your ezine, or newsletter, you can use this as an opportunity to cross promote your other ideas and opportunities.

Along the same lines as reciprocal linking, you can also exchange ads in your publication. You can do this by offering the opportunity to subscribe to another similar company's publication on the same page you advertise your own business opportunity.

The same as renting space on a prominent bill board, you can even exchange ad space in ezines, providing recommendations for those products, services, and opportunities of which you have agreements with other publishers to exchange. You may even want to exchange an entire column of ad space in each other's publication.

Another way to promote your idea or opportunity is by writing free articles that inform your customers or prospects with useful and accurate information. This can help you build a solid reputation for you and your Internet business. After a short while, readers will begin to know you as an expert on the subject you are writing about. When authors write articles, they use what is called a byline, or author's resource box, or bio box, to help promote their site. This is a way to use this modern form of the barter system by providing valuable content to the site that publishes the article and advertising your own opportunity at the same time. You can even use part of the space in your bio box to recommend another's product. The possibilities are endless.

Lastly, if you write an eBook or are thinking of writing one, launching a joint venture with another company could translate into increased profits for yourself and the person you are partnering with. Trading promotions through eBooks is another excellent way to expand the topic of your eBook and promote both your business and your partner's business. The information you include in your eBook will benefit both businesses and will still be helpful and informative to the reader.

Here's one example among many of using eBooks to exchange advertising with another online business. Suppose a site that is selling DVDs at wholesale prices is partnering with a site selling DVD players. These are two subjects that would interest the same reader and most likely guide the reader to both sites. This is beneficial to both of the partnering businesses by being able to provide the best information or service to the reader of the eBook.

When partnering with another site, you should consider that when you recommend another product, it is a direct reflection of you. You should choose your bartering partners very carefully and keep the customer in mind as well by making it easier able to link from one site to another as a way to shop around. Again, as with all forms of exchanging advertising space, it is generally not beneficial to recommend or link to sites that are in direct competition with each other. You should always search for and select only similar synergistic relationships with other businesses.

The Top Three Things To Look at While Researching Home Business Opportunities


There are many people out there that have dreams of becoming their own boss. Now more than ever, it is easier for us to take that plunge because there are so many products we can sell. Some companies present their opportunity so well that we make an emotional decision to jump into business before we consider it.

Owning your own home business can be very rewarding. However, we must proceed with care to get the business up and running. The next time you are presented with a great opportunity, consider the following three things. Please note this is not something we should look at in a negative light. However, they are simply a few items that we should address in order to try and sustain our business as long as possible.

Research the Product and the Company.

This is probably the single most important question you can answer. Let me explain. The product and the company is what you're selling to your prospects. You will be required to display expertise on the product. The product is something you will live and work with for a long time. Gaining product knowledge and learning about the company that sells it is the central point of any home business.

Be honest with your self. Is this a product you would use and enjoy on a daily basis? People buy from others based on trust and body language during a product demo. The way to gain that trust is to be an expert on the product. This way you sound confident talking about the product.

You will also need a good company that can provide you the backing and sales materials you desire to help you get clients. The company you are dealing with needs to be responsive enough to meet you and your clients needs.

Identify How You Make Money Selling the Product.

To be honest, you are in business to enjoy what you are doing and to make money. Most specifically, how do you earn that money? Don't be afraid to ask the hard questions. If you don't know how you make money then you may set yourself up for disappointment.

You should learn and embrace the successful methods of selling the product. Find out if you can sell the products to individuals and businesses. See if you can make money off others selling the product. You may have the opportunity increase earning power to build your own down line of sales people. In my opinion these are the best types of opportunities.

Look at Business Start Up Costs and Monthly Fees for The Business.

With many businesses there is always some type of start up costs. You may not have to buy the product yourself. However, there may be other costs involved. For example, you may need a home computer or a mobile phone. Ask as many questions as you can. Try to think about what steps you need to take in order to sell the product to someone. Then identify and create a list the equipment you will need. The list should be part of your start up costs.

A lot of businesses fail on insufficient funds and bad budgeting. Take the time to seek advisement from other home business owners. You can probably find some advice on a popular forum. Try to learn as many costs that may be related to your business.

In conclusion, starting a business is very exciting and liberating. Try to keep in mind of what you need to accomplish. You should love the product you sell so you can show that passion to your prospects. Then take the time to identify how you make money so you can set goals and expectations of yourself. Finally, we must be very cautious and figure out as many costs as possible in order to sustain the business. Always seek as much advisement as you can and use the good advice to your advantage. After all, it is your business.

How to Get Your Website Linked To Blogs


Blogs are all over the internet and gaining popularity all the time. Just do a search for anything and see all the results relating to blog entries. Search engines love blogs. Content is king, and blogs can get updated on a daily basis.Also, blogs link to other blogs, and if you have an interesting site you will find you get lots of others linking to you. This is something you really need to focus on.


What is the best way to go about it?

Bloggers are interested in everything. There are blogs about every subject under the sun. If you want to get your site noticed, search for blogs on a theme you like. Then create some content for that theme on your site. Remember bloggers like to 'talk', to be seen as an expert in their field. So you could write something controversial, that would get you noticed and talked about.

Alternatively write some amusing content based around the theme you have chosen. Try to put a fresh look, your own unique criticism, anything that would get it talked about. Do a tongue-in-cheek review, and see what effect that will have. Of course you don't purposely want to offend people, just get them talking about your content and keep them interested in checking back.

Pick themes that you are genuinely interested in. This is easier to write content for. But also look at some topics or areas you never bothered much about before. This can be informative and entertaining and you could strike up a lot of friendships, resulting in links back to your site.

The best way to do all this is from a blog of your own. Then visit some blogs related to your own theme and post your comment there with a link to your own site. If they are interested they will respond. As more read and comment you will gain links from potentially thousands of blog sites.

Your own blog will get improved rankings in the search engines. It will get updated on a constant basis from comments. You will get your ads and links noticed on your blog without any real effort on your part. And you may even like blogging so much you will create an empire of them.

It may not be to everyones taste but it is worth considering as another tool to use in your online marketing attempts. And you might also learn something in the process. Try it today, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

How Using Blogs Can Help Your Online Profits


Just what is a blog and why should you use one? A blog is an online diary or journal where you can post your thoughts, opinions, articles or anything at all for that matter. It really is a 'web log', and that is where the term 'blog' comes from.


Why should you use one for your business? Well first of all search engines love content. They especially like new and frequently updated content. So updating often will help get your site indexed in the search engines. You are also able to notify the blog directories when you make an update, and this will help get your site spidered much more quickly.

So will this help you make money from your blog? It is another tool in your arsenal. Used well, it can certainly help you make money. There are millions of blogs online and growing daily. If your blog becomes popular, you will gain a lot of inbound links from other sites. If you are an expert in your field and post informative, newsworthy, thought-provoking or even controversial posts you will benefit from traffic sent by others who think their own visitors would benefit from what you say.

There is also software available to automatically generate hundreds of pages targeted to specific sets of keywords. RSS feeds can be used to display your blog on other web sites, and this gives you an inbound link back from them. If your site gets used as content for the automatically generated pages this will also result in inbound links and potential traffic for you.

These inbound links and updated fresh content will help you achieve higher search engine rankings. This will translate into more traffic and potential sales. You can also display ads on your blog targeted to your content and get sales in that way also.

Blogging is here to stay so it would be foolish not to consider using it. A lot of marketers are now using their blog as a 'newsletter'. Because of the problems delivering newsletters by email, due to spam filters blocking them, it is easier to send an email to their lists advising them there is an update on their blog.

So you can see that is indeed possible to generate money from your blog. Especially if you are an expert in some niche area and gain a reputation for that. It will also help people to get to know you, as you can be more candid and informal in your blog, building up closer relationships with your readers. Another major benefit is that readers can post comments. From these comments you get to know your readers better also, and could identify possible areas where they need help or assistance. This would help you see recurring themes which could profit you greatly if you come up with solutions for which you now have a readily accessible market waiting for them.

In summary, it is well worth the time and effort into starting your blog. Let it be another area of your main business, supplementing and assisting it. Keep it alive with daily posts, read all comments and the bonus is that you can certainly profit from it, both financially and as a way of building trust with your readership.

Blogging has been the success factor for many bloggers. There are several important keys to success in blogging. These keys will unlock many stubborn obstacles along the blogging trail.

Many prerequisites must be fulfilled even before thinking about achieving success in blogging. They include having a clear and definite perception of what type of blog will best fit your marketing plans, how can the blog be tracked and how will comments be handled. Planning the most appropriate blogging strategy is another aspect that should not be omitted.

(1) Adhere to the culture of blogging

The culture of blogging requires the blogger to be real. This means that you must be identified with your audience, do everything for the readers, write good content that will captivate them and make space for their interaction. Regular posting, creation of links, providing good comments on other blogs, pinging your blog upon its completion, application of feeds, creation of catchy and compelling titles for search engines, and adding the element of fun - these are some of the keys to success in blogging.

(2) Bring in the traffic

Traffic is essential to blogs. Analyze the number of visitors per day, pages visited thus far, and the origin of these visitors. Blogging encourages conversations, therefore, it is important to look at the quality of the visitors and their visits. The sources of such incoming traffic may include search engines, links from other blogs, and other normal marketing efforts. It would be beneficial to study them to improve your strategy for building traffic. Factors such as providing comments on your blog, including interviews on your blog, and providing prompt responses to questions posted by other bloggers, play a vital role in stimulating traffic growth to your blog.

(3) Be actively involved in conversations

Blogging requires conversations. Conversations will lead to the development of traffic for your blog. It is an important key to getting success in blogging. Invite other bloggers to your blog. Link more to other bloggers. If there is an incoming link to your blog, it implies two things: (a) that you have content that interests the other blogger (b) that the door to exponential growth in traffic is being opened. Incoming links are precious, even if they are from minor blogs.

(4) Prepare for search engine optimization

Getting more readers and customers to your blog can be achieved when you have your blog prepared for search engine optimization. That is, make your site friendly to search engines, which can affect your traffic positively and negatively. Certain factors that will help include having meaningful addresses for instance www. ezinearticles.com, having links to the blog home page and main home page, and putting up great page titles.

(5) Extend warm welcome

Getting visitors to stay longer on your blog requires diligent work in extending your warm welcome. Encourage visitors to look around and ask questions. Provide a short introduction about yourself. Show them recent posts and links to other blogs of interest. Provide visitors the easy access to content that interest them by way of feeds. They will be able to subscribe to your blog and become readers eventually.

(6) Make your blog known

One of the keys to success in blogging is through promotion using conventional marketing methods. You can include your blog on your business card. This will create a viral effect, and people will come to know about your blog. With good content on your blog, visitors will be in for positive experiences. This opens the door to the building of relationships.

(7) Build the relationships

In blogging, relationships bring bloggers closer. Many lessons in blogging can be learned . Blogs can be better improved with ideas and contributions from other bloggers. Personalization is integral to blogging. A honest and transparent relationship brings out the best of contributions from every blogger. Positive experiences can be gained. Feeding comments on other blogs, linking to other blogs, sending emails to other bloggers, and even talking to other bloggers through innovative Skype - all these are vital keys to success in blogging.

(8) Discard all distractions

The blog for all its intentions is a good way of communicating with other bloggers, and in the process gain their trust and to build good relationships through good content on your blog. Preferably, ads should be not placed on your blog.These may distract your readers as well as not enhancing the value of your own business. Conversations are the main factors that will support your goal in trust and relationship building. Offering blog specific promotions such as contests centered on the ad, being involved in interesting charity events, or establishing a podcast interview with the advertiser, are sound ways to putting ads on your blog, if really needed to.

(9) Develop a community for your blog

No blog is an island. Increase the visibility of your blog. Build a community on your blog to share ideas and interests. A community will open up new opportunities. It provides new challenges, and it never fails to impart important information that will benefit others. Everyone in the community will stand to gain from the dissemination of latest news about new job opportunities, new fitness equipment or even a new hairstyling salon that may be of interest to the relevant business. Information from high profile bloggers will also add value to the knowledge of the community.

Blogging enhances the visibility of your business. It provides great opportunities for the exponential growth of your business. The keys to success in blogging have been listed above, but the ultimate outcome is still dependent on your commitment to your blog, the amount of hard work that you are ready to put in, and your desire to succeed.
