Don't Forget the Merchant Account

Posted 2 years ago

If you are selling items, you likely need a merchant account for your home businessA merchant account is a special account set up through a bank or through an ISO (Independent Sales Organization) that can arrange for your home business to accept credit card payments. This can be very important to your work at home business, since it allows you to know that you are getting your money immediately. However, you will have to pay set-up fees and a percentage of each credit card transaction will also be charged as a fee.

Using PayPal

One way you can alleviate some of the costs associated with a merchant account is to use PayPal. If you have a smaller business that does not make a great deal of money each month, PayPal can offer an interesting solution, as well as help you accept credit cards for your work from home business.

Remembering to Pay Taxes

Posted 2 years ago

Your work at home taxes will be more than your work from job taxesIt is a good idea to save a little money throughout the year to pay your taxes. When tax time comes around, it can be a shop to learn that you will have to pay more for your home business. The entire Social Security tax will fall on your work from home shoulders. So will your income tax and other taxes. So, be prepared by socking away 15% or so each month in a high-yield savings account (like the ING Orange savings account) so that you do not have to take such a beating when tax time rolls around.See Also Work at Home StrategiesWork from home ideas [Link]

You get to do a little shopping, do Mystery shopping can be a good work from home jobregular business, and get paid for it. But it is important that you are not just getting paid to shop. When you choose mystery shopping as your work from home job, you need to take it seriously. While you can take your kids with you on some trips, others may not be appropriate for children. Companies often have specific guidelines for things they want to know about your shopping experience. Additionally, you often have a specific time frame that you will have to shop in (usually within two or three days at a specific time of day, like morning or evening). You may be directed to do certain things. And you will have to fill out a report. In order to get more gigs, you will need to have thorough reports that cover all of the requested bases. And you need to be efficient to make it worth your while. Make sure that you do other errands while on your way to your mystery shopping gig.See Also Mystery ShoppingMore work from home ideas [Link]

Establishing a Work at Home Schedule

Posted 2 years ago

Working from home requires schedulingIf you want success in working from home, it is important to establish a schedule. Just because you work at home is no reason to act as though you do not have an actual job. Many people tend to think of it as "just working from home." As if it isn't actual work. It is actual work, and it deserves some respect. So, schedule in work from home time each day, or choose a couple of days to devote to your work at home business. Make sure that it is a reasonable amount of time, and during a time of day that works for you. "Reasonable," of course, depends entirely upon your individual situation. For me, three hours every weekday morning from 6 to 9 am is reasonable, and then three days a week from 9:30 to noon while my son is at preschool. For you, it's probably different. But no matter when "reasonable" is for you, make sure you schedule work from hom time into your life.See Also Working from HomeWork at home business tips [Link]

Affiliate Programs

Posted 2 years ago

Work from home affiliate programs Joining affiliate programs can be great work from home opportunitiesA good way to make a little money from home, and have a good time, can be through affiliate programs. I have a friend, D.J., who has been doing an affiliate program for Close to My Heart, a scrapbooking company. She offers workshops on making scrapbooking pages and homemade cards. This not only helps her cover the costs of some of her supplies, but it also builds a loyal group of ladies who, when they want additional ideas and supplies, will visit her Web site and get ideas. And, of course, she gets a cut of whatever is ordered through her Web site. An excellent way to do something you love, and get a little money for it! There are several other types of affiliate programs, from selling educational books to Mary Kay products.See Also Make Money From HomeHome business ideas [Link]

Watching Out for Drop-Ship Scams

Posted 2 years ago

Drop shipping can be a great work from home business model, but choose your wholesaler carefullyWhen it comes to working at home, there are several business models to choose from. One of these is drop-shipping. However, you need to watch out for drop-shipping scams, in which someone poses as a legitmate wholesaler to bilk you out of your money. Here are three things to watch out for:
Easy Set-up. Sure, there are home business opportunities that are easy to set up. But any drop-ship wholesaler should require a tax ID number, business license or resale license before working with you.Where's the company info? Always research anyone you will be working with in your stay at home business. If the Web site is full of marketing promises, but you can't seem to find a phone number, address or solid information, it's probably a fake.Recurring fees. Most wholesalers will charge you on a per-order basis, and may charge a set-up fee. However, annual or monthly fees are not part of the legitimate drop-ship work from home business model.

You sit in front of the TV after the kids are in bed and stuff envelopes. Or you do it in the car while on a family vacation.

Finding Time For You

An important aspect of working from home is finding time for youMany people who work from home discover that all of their "me" time has disappeared, especially if there is a family involved. After all, if you aren't working, you are taking care of the family's needs: dinner, cleaning, kids, etc. But if you are to maintain sanity in a work at home environment, and if you want to be able to do quality work for your home business, it is important that you take a little time for you.

Good MLM lead?

Posted 21 months ago

What makes a good MLM lead?

For those who like to buy leads here are a few tips that will help you select a good lead company:
1. FRESH. Fresh leads are the best leads and real-time leads are premium leads. It makes sense that the most advantageous time to connect with someone is as soon after they express their interest as possible. Using real-time leads gives you the fastest way of being able to do this. 2. NON-INCENTIVIZED. What does that mean? A good MLM lead is a person who is interested in a home business and has not supplied his contact information in exchange for the chance of winning a contest or getting a certificate good for a 'free' vacation or some other reward. You want leads to be people who want information, not freebie seekers or contest junkies. 3. OPEN. A lot of people are interested in a home business. But if you're in Network Marketing, that isn't enough. A good MLM lead must be open to the concept of Multilevel Marketing, not someone looking to provide a service out of their home. 4. GENUINE. A good MLM lead should be someone who is honestly interested in Network Marketing. In an industry that holds the promise of wealth and freedom, the curious, the frivolous, and the time-wasters abound. Many are called, but few are honest about wanting to do something in MLM! 5. NOT OVERSOLD. If you use exclusive, real-time leads, this isn't a problem. But with larger lists consisting of older names, good leads are people who have not been turned-off by having been contacted too many times. This is one thing a lead source can easily control. 6. REACHABLE. Deliverable by mail or email isn't enough. Good MLM leads can be reached by phone. A few will give false information. Others can never be reached. Many never really wanted to hear from you at all. A good MLM lead is a lead that wants to hear from you, a lead that wants to know more. 7. TEACHABLE. Not everyone who joins an MLM company knows what to do. In fact, virtually all require some kind of training. A good MLM lead is teachable and willing to learn. 8. CAPABLE. Good MLM leads are willing and able to invest in the business. A good MLM lead is not part of the something for nothing or get-rich-quick crowd. They are realistic. They have dreams, but they are not idle dreamers. 9. TIME WISE. It seems no one has much time to do anything extra, these days. A good MLM lead is willing to set aside time to work his business on a regular basis, knowing he will eventually earn back his time and then some. He knows that wise use of his time today will pay dividends tomorrow. 10. DECISIVE. Good MLM leads are ready to act. Some may want to look a little deeper into a given opportunity, but a good lead won't keep putting off a decision he will never make. He's willing to walk the walk, not just listen to you talk! robert g allen blog home

Google Adsense Revenue

Posted 21 months ago

Dynamic Resource for Adsense:
3 Practical Models Quickly Earn & Maximize Google Adsense Revenue


Look to Google to make extra cash.

Looking back in time, I could still remember standing in awe and reading the exploits of one adsense guru who was starting a membership service for people keen to maximise their earnings as a google adsense publisher. He claimed to be making over $40K a month from his google adsense revenue and an almost equal amount from affiliate products.

In my mind, I could not help but believe that if he could be so successful, I could also be successful…and everyone can also be equally successful in developing content websites and allowing google adsense to be published on these websites.

Months followed later where I carried out research on Google Adsense, talked to people who were successful publishers, joined a couple of memberships sites myself, read a few ebooks on the subject, spent hundreds of dollars on tools and webpage generating software…the whole works.

My aim was simple - uncover the successful methods and make at least one of these techniques as mine and be equally successful , if not better.

What were my results? Briefly, there were 3 models that could lead to success. There might be more, but these 3 models figured prominently as I carried out my personal private research.

The Content Model
———————————-

In the content model, a mini site is developed for a niche project. Generally, you would find the keywords for niche topics with a low R/S value, build a theme around these keywords and work out a mini website of around 20 to 50 pages.

The key to such a website is written content.

In many cases, I found reprint rights articles were also used and these were also sites that were successful in bringing in consistent traffic and revenue. Each page is normally written around just one keyword and the entire webpage is tightly SEOed (search engine optimized).

THE SINGLE-PAGE MODEL
————————————–

In the second model, a one page article forms the website with google adsense on that article.

In order to feature prominently, website promotion is necessary for this model. This is effected by submitting articles to many article depositories and ezine publishers using automated softwares and gathering links in return.

THE NUMBERS GAME MODEL
—————————————

This is by far the model that was reported to be widely successful.

This model is based on the concept of " Build, Build and Build!". In other words, an incessant non-stop drive to keep on building websites and treating the business as stricly one of providing workable content sites for publishing adsense. However, care must be exercised at all times to follow Google Adsense Terms of Service.

A prominent feature of this model was to use some form of auto generating software such as softwares that can generate directories or portals, the use of RSS and blogging to maintain and update the sites on a daily basis or a series of rotating templates.

Care must also be keenly exercised that the sites must have content, and not merely appear spammy with results scrapped from search engines. One piece of advice from a veteran adsense publisher was that he would run over his sites such that he was clearly satisfied that the web pages were actually pleasing to a visitor and that the webpages were designed for humans.

Often quoted by proponents of Model 3 is that the key to maximizing google adsense revenue and indeed affiliate revenue was to engage in a "numbers game". The more websites you build and commission, the higher is the revenue provided your keyword research is well done. In one case, one publisher claimed that his 65 years old mother could also work on this model by using a RSS system and was earning a good income just a few weeks into the model.

To avoid being a "thin affiliate" and risk being penalised by Google, most sites would add in advertisements from Amazon, or Clickbank and a host of other affiliate programs.

Which of the three models is applicable and useful to you? Are you in for the long term as a serious adsense publisher?

Above all these, you will need a compilation of good resources to assist you in your business as an adsense publisher. Gather the correct resources, personalize the good information and keep working on your model until you reach a good measure of success. Be of good faith, do not falter and you will reach success.

Peter Lim is a Certified Financial Planner and a webmaster who has a keen interest in internet marketing. He maintains a website "The Best of Google Adsense Free Resources- Secrets, Tricks and Tips" which provides a fine compilation of tips and references, including a free adsense tracking software, for private personal education of the would be adsense publisher or internet marketer at http://www.dynamic-resources.info/adsense

Content gets visitors to your site

Posted 21 months ago

Flashy graphics and sounds may impress some visitors the first time they visit a site, but they are unlikely to come back because of the look of the site. Do not get me wrong a por looking site that is hard to find materiel will not bring back visitors either. . If the goal of your internet marketing strategies is repeat visitors, potential customers, you are much more likely to get people to return if your site offers valuable, non-solicitous content. This helps to establish you as an expert in your field. At the same time building a level of trust with your visitors. Keep your content fresh and meaningful. I has read a few time content is King.

Keywords and your search for free targeted traffic

Posted 21 months ago


To rank higher on search engines and receive that free targeted traffic everyone is after repeat the keywords important to your site and want to target just enough times to establish a theme. Too much repetition will be considered spam.

How Search Engines Rank Sites
* Prominence
* Frequency
* Weight or Density
* Proximity
* Placement

For the best free targeted traffic results place keywords in your post titles, your category names, the pages URL names, or even a combination of Technorati tags and the text of your permanent links that appear after each post.

The preferred keyword density ratio varies from search engine to search engine. In general, I recommend using a keyword density ratio in the range of 2-8%. Keyword frequency refers to the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase appears within a web page. Keyword density simply is the ratio or percentage of indexable text compared to the number of keywords or keyword frequency.

Remember not place all your key words into a useless lists or nonsense. Many web sites do this but beware. Search engines are getting smarter when spidering pages and processing keywords and key phrases, if they see keywords occurring together in a senseless or garbled sequence most penalize web sites. Some have gone as far as to ban a web site completely, claiming it spamming or spamdexing the search engines.

Try to incorporate as many words as possible, especially in prominent sections, but ensure your writing is coherent and people friendly. This is more important that keyword density.

All the best in your home based business endeavour

Day 18 - Search engines

Posted 21 months ago

More Traffic in 30 Days Step by Step
- 356 Days To 25k Visitors A Year

view 30 days to massive traffic introduction page

Most web sites and online business opportunities are found via web searches. For your business to make money online your opportunity needs to be popular with search engines.

Unfortunately and fortunately your online home based business does not operate as a conventional bricks and mortar store. This is unfortunate in the fact that you cannot simply build your business corp mlm opportunity website and have people flock to it. Your health and wellness home business with a storefront on a popular street traffic would draw in curious shoppers walking by. This will not happen on the internet. A quick Google search for health and wellness home business turned up 234,000,000 results. If you are counting on random traffic you have 234 million sites to compete with, your chances do not look good. Web traffic is not like sidewalk traffic. As a person looking to make money at home business, you have to bring targeted traffic in.

The fortunate aspect of a online health and wellness home business or any other home based business is that your customers are not limited to your street, and there are thousands of ways to get free traffic to your site.

Major search engines provide lots of free traffic. It takes a little work to get listed high on the search engines but well worth it. To achieve the results you want remember that search engines are easily manipulated. All you have to do is know what they want and give it to them. The major search engines strive to find exactly what people are searching for and that is what you have to do as well. Give people exactly what they are looking for in a way that Google spiders can crawl, and you will get targeted online traffic.

The major search engines are looking for quality content and keywords. A websites theme is found by:
the text in your pages
website title (sub)domain name
PDF documents
tags and link titles
any text that it can spider on your site.
Watch you out going links. A link on your site is a recommendation and Google likes it when you only link to quality sites.

Most people know how important it is to have inbound links. Increase the number of sites recommending your online business opportunity. Again the quality of link is important, the linking site should be popular and related to your site. Whenever possible control how others are describing your site.

This is probably the most important point and has been mentioned before. Have lots of fresh content. Be continuously updating your website content.

A few other points to remember.

If using tables on your site remember that spiders read it in the order it appears in your HTML document and what they see first is considered more important.

Images are for people not spiders. If you include images also consider using alt HTML tags to describe the picture.

Search engines only understand computer language and do not know English or any other language not designed for computer programs. This is worth noting because search engines only know what phrases are related based on peoples' browsing habits. Google and others make reference to also visited, and also linked to information to return searches.

Now that you know how search engines work you may be able to think of different things to do with your home based health and wellness business in order to attract visitors from search engines.

Remember
appearance doesn't matter, content does
it contains keywords that people are actually searching for
include lots of fresh content
distinguish your site with unique topics not found on other sites
be careful who you link to
get good related sites to link to you and that the search engines understands the relationship, have them link to different pages with different text
A web site that ranks high on the search engines can not be beat for free targeted traffic. Good luck.

Great Books To Help Your Home Business

Posted 21 months ago

There are a few books that every MLM, network marketer, and successful home based business entrepreneur need to read. Here is a short recommendation of books I have read that have made a vast difference in my business. Being a MLM, network marketer, or successful home based business entrepreneur is difficult and is not something you go to school for. Like anything else you need an education to become successful, without school books and your team will be the next best thing.

In my opinion this is the absolute best book available for personal development and success in business and life in general. I would recommend that that you read Think and Grow Rich at least three times. The more you read it the more you will discover. This book is definitely not limited to money, which is important if you want to become wealthy. There are many characteristics that make a person wealthy and to be rich you need to all of them. All I can say is read this book.

This list is short but well worth your while looking over. Success in MLM, network marketing, or home based business is not difficult if you have the right education. Between your team, and these books you will be well on your way to success.

To your success

To Write Effective Web Copy Keep This In Mind

Posted 21 months ago

All successful business have marketing MLM, network marketing and small home based business are no different. The goal is the same as well, that is to attract potential customers, make them a customer then turn them into repeat customers.

The written word is powerful if used correctly. Keep this in mind when writing ads for your MLM, network marketing or small home based business. You ad copy has the power to attract the traffic you are looking for. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you create you marketing material. Follow these simple guides and you will attract more people and achieve better results.

Effective web copy begins with an understanding of what the objective of your web site. Do you want the visitor to make a purchase, or have them sign up for your newsletter, or build a relationship?

After you know what your objective is you need to know your audience. Create a customer profile of your target market. Try to understand how they think. Understanding their problems will give you a better idea of what you have to offer them. If you are promoting an MLM your target market may be related to the business you the product. You should not promote mixed markets in one ad. If you want to focus on the home based business opportunity find out what the needs, desires, income expectations, likes and dislikes of you targeted market. Think about these factors:
- age
- sex
- financial situation
- what excites them
- most pressing concerns
- their motivations

Every ad copy needs a Unique Selling Position (USP), something that sets them apart from other competing businesses. A statement of 2-3 sentences explaining what is different from everybody else. This is to set you apart from your competition. This must be one of the first or most prominent things your visitor sees.

How do your products help your target market, focus on the benefits. The answer to that question needs to be answered as clearly and concisely as possible or you will stand to lose that visitor.

You only have a few seconds to grab your visitors attention. Place the most important or beneficial points at the top of the ad. As the ad, article or web content continues the less important information follows. Think of it as an inverted pyramid.

Draw attention to the content you want to emphasize. Bullets, numbered lists, boldface or coloured font make text jump off the page.

Keep your sentences simple. You are not writing to
Impress, you are writing to inform. Use language that a young teen easily understands. The tone is not to be condescending or insulting just plain easy to follow language. Use the active voice instead of a passive one.
- passive - a good score was achieved by the team
active – the team scored a season high
Remember speak to not at your visitor.

Eliminate the any excess text. Keep your sentences short and snappy. Remove any filler sentences that contain.

Revise your web copy after taking a break. Come back to it several hours or a even a few days later. This allows you to see it from a different viewpoint. You are after able to improve your copy after a break.

This should get you underway to creating more successful marketing material and get you the business your site needs to make you a successful entrepreneur.

This post will turn your marketing efforts around

Posted 21 months ago

You just have to click here first to learn the secret

The past post provided some background to the secret that will make your home based business response rate explode. The same tricks that television and movie producers use to create multimillion-dollar profits you can use in your business opportunity and create…

..fabulous click through rates boosting leads for your mlm or sales in your home business. Today you will learn how to use the Zeigarnik effect to draw your target market in.

As mentioned before the Zeigarnik effect is used in marketing and advertising continually. If you had read the last post first the end of that post may have provided you with a clue to how you can apply this technique to your marketing efforts and build your small home business.

The idea of the last post was to experiment with the Zeigarnik effect and leave people hanging, wanting to know more. This is my first attempt at this technique but I feelas though it did impose a certain degree of interest and mental torment awaiting this post. By describing a few details careful not to tell everything and leaving the message incomplete readers were hopefully compelled to take action to find out more.

If that post did not do it for you let me provide a few more examples.

Every television season finale is a cliff-hanger. As I mentioned popular shows like 24 and Lost end every show incomplete. The same is true of most shows when they go to commercial. They want to create that torment that only they can rectify after the break. It is this torment that will cause viewers to tune back in. they need to get the questions answered and relieve the tension. I know when I go to the theatre and the movie ends generating more questions I do not generally like the movie. It could have been excellent but that mental unrest makes me leave the theatre with a bad feeling. When the ending leaves questions unanswered, it creates a tension in the viewers brain. It seems that its the nature of people to be tormented by incomplete information.

Here is a great example of the Zeigarnik effect in action:
Consider yourself watching television and the teaser for the late night news intrurupts your program. The anchor comes on and says What is President George W. Bush’s secret agenda against the terrorists that hes not telling the American people? The answer will shock you. News at 11!

A statement like that gets people thinking and compels them to tune in just to find out the answer to the question and relieve the tension creating equilibrium.

Apply these same techniques to your marketing campaigns. Your task is to interrupt your audiences preoccupation and make them pay attention to your message. Employing the Zeigarnik effect is one of the best ways to do this, tests have repeatedly supported this theory. Promise to reveal powerful information if the reader takes a very specific action. You must keep your target market in mind because the teaser has to be information that they want or need. No matter how powerful the Zeigarnik device you exercise in your copy, it will have a reduced effect if youre in front of the wrong people.

To get this principle working for your business simply install an unanswered question into your marketing material deliberately causing mental tension in the reader. Leave them no option but to stop what they are doing and get the answer to your burning question.

The real secret of the Zeigarnik effect. The success of this application to your marketing is directly proportional to the amount of tension you create. With your target audience in mind, you must craft your copy to crank up the mental conflict to the highest level possible.

Many real estate gurus in their presentations let the participants know what they are about to teach only the top 1% of real estate agents use but that is virtually ignored by the other 99%, you apply it any you too can be in that top percentile.

The simple, direct way to use the Zeigarnik effect is to promise to reveal certain information if the reader takes a very specific action. And you need to set it up so that your reader can't lose by checking out this information and will benefit greatly by learning what you have to offer.

To aid in your online marketing methods try incorporating the Zeigarnik effect in different marketing methods. With all the spam people receive you need to implement it in your email subject lines. Your SIG files make an excellent place to draw readers in. Without a doubt all web copy headlines and opening statements need to be powerful and this is the technique to do that. Here is some web copy that caught my attention:

You do not know it yet, but in the next 5 minutes you are going to learn two things that will enable you to command someone to do something, it could be anything, and that person will do it without question. Whats more, they will think it was their idea, not yours.

Use your imagination and the possibilities can be endless. Use the Zeigarnik effect whenever you have to interrupt your readers preoccupation and get them to pay attention to your message, it works. If you do not start to incorporate it into your marketing mix today you are missing sales.

Good luck and have fun.

Dramatically improve your marketing effectiveness, it is easier than you think. The Secret weapon of the top Executives!

Posted 21 months ago

Do you want to know the secret of how to get more people to read your ads, and marketing material? Hint, it is done to you everyday. It is actually something that you are very familiar with, but have not likely used it in your own marketing efforts.

The technique described today that will help your home based business opportunity ads and marketing efforts grab the attention of more readers, achieve better readership, and better click through rates.

Have you ever watched a television show or movie that called for your attention, then suddenly ended only to be continued? Do you remember how you felt. Were you eager to find out what happened next? Did you feel discomfort of any sort? If you answered yes, the program or newscast had successfully employed the secret. Think of the hit program Lost, this technique is one reason is such a hit.

The origins of incredible successful and popular marketing technique date back to experiments conducted in 1927 by a psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. Sitting in a Viennese café watching a waiter remember elaborate orders Zeigarnik began to make some conclusions about memory. The waiter was able to remember these elaborate orders until he had delivered them, after which they vanished from memory. Zeigarnik pointed out that people tend to better remember uncompleted tasks. Zeigarnik went on to hypothesize that people remember things that are not finished because they maintain a tension in the mind awaiting closure. As long as the task remains incomplete there is mental tension causing a person to retain that task in their memory until it is completed. Unfinished business causes a state of cognitive disequilibrium until the problem is solved. Balance is more satisfying than unbalance, therefore the we strive to reach this balance, or equilibrium and relieve the discomfort we experience as our mind struggles with the imbalance. Zeigarnik was eventually able to prove that people remember unfinished tasks about twice as well as completed ones, and in greater detail.

The tendency to remember uncompleted tasks better than completed ones is known as the Zeigarnik effect.

In addition to being better remembered uncompleted tasks have motivational qualities as well. The desire for equilibrium will drive the organism to complete the task if balance can be achieved through its completion.

If you want to keep something actively in mind, do not close it out. Let it hang.

Now that I have provided some background to the secret it is time to apply it to your home based business and watch your responses explode. The same tricks that television and movie producers use to create multimillion-dollar profits you can use in your business opportunity and create…

Posted 21 months ago

More Traffic in 30 Days Step by Step
- 356 Days To 25k Visitors A Year

view 30 days to massive traffic introduction page

Message boards can be a great way to get free targeted traffic. These boards are so effective that I still receive requests and referrals from posts made over a year ago. Message boards will do at least three things for you:
1) get you linked from more sites
2) help you build a name for yourself
3) learn from and help others

Simply search in your favourite search engine for forum and the industry you are in. I am interested in home based business or mlm or network marketing. I simply go to Google and search home based business forums. Doing this will turn up lots of results. It will be in your best interest to pick a forum that is active, has lots of participating members and is well moderated.

Visit thses various boards post messages, meet people, ask questions, share your wisdom, and words of encouragement.

Suggested tips to keep in mind when posting to message boards. Remember you are there to build relationships, you want people to know, like and trust you.

Do not spam: - do not post the same thing over and over

- post something meaningful and relevant to the conversation

- do not advertise unless otherwise specified

- do not participate in negative postings about others (criticize or flame)

To make the most of message boards and insure highly targeted traffic to your website:

- select boards that pertain to your product or opportunity

- get your name out and popularity up, post a response to a question or simply post a question yourself

- include a signature file with your name and URL, no email. This can be placed in the profile page. It is a good idea to set-up a second email just for internet posts because, you will get spam

- spend one or two evenings a week (every week) posting on several different message boards

- be genuine, helpful, and try to learn a few things

Most of all HAVE FUN and MAKE FRIENDS!

Aiming At The Home-Based Business Bullseye

Posted 21 months ago

Traffic is one thing, but targeted traffic is everything.

You have no doubt seen dozens of offers similar to "10,000 hits per hour driven to your website!". This type of website traffic is completely untargeted and will undoubtedly result in a very low conversion ratio. It's basically "throw it up against the wall and hope something sticks". The big incoming numbers give the illusion of progress, but you will achieve better results with a lower volume of highly targeted traffic.

I speak from experience because in the early days of developing my home business, I went for the big numbers instead of focusing on targeting prospects. It took me a while to appreciate the importance of targeting (quality) instead of just going for the big numbers, but it was a lesson well learned.

Exchanging links has been an important part of generating website traffic for quite some time, but the vast majority of people looking to trade links don't understand that just wildly swapping links with any willing webmaster is not the way to go.

For the last few years, most webmasters have been in a "pleasing Google" mode since Google had such a dominant position. Now that challengers are emerging, most notably Yahoo, MSN, and Ask Jeeves, the search engine ranking landscape is becoming much more complicated than just marching to the tune Google played.

Many website owners seem to be of the opinion that the sole purpose of exchanging links is to try to improve the search engine ranking position of their website. While it is true that links pointing to your website can help your search engine ranking, the reason for obtaining inbound links goes far deeper than that.

In my opinion, the targeted traffic that relevant links pointing to your site will bring can be as important as the traffic that comes to your website from people using search engines. This is where linking philosophy comes in. If you limit yourself to exchanging links only with websites that have a theme highly relevant to your own, the traffic you receive from those links will be far more targeted (valuable) than traffic you might receive from links with websites that have nothing to do with your theme.

Not only do highly relevant links bring you more highly targeted traffic, but they also play a "customer satisfaction" role for visitors to your website who arrived there as a result of a search engine query. If someone arrives at your website after performing a search for, lets say "work at home" and then finds your website full of links to a bunch of off topic sites (Viagra, online casinos, hotel reservations, sports betting, etc, etc) the impression is often not favorable and may actually drive your visitor away before they consider whatever it is that your website itself is offering.

Understanding Web site optimization

Posted 21 months ago

By George Papazoglou

I thought I would include this aticle because it fit along with our theme of web traffic to your home based business website. For those who read this and work from home in there MLM or network marketing opportunity it is important to get noticed. This article should hep your website stand out from the other home based business opportunity sites.

Let's attempt to explain what is "web site optimization". Most webmasters are acquainted with the term "web site optimization", but some newcomers aren't.

~~ The Term ~~

Web site optimization is a systematic online promotion methodology which its' main aim is, to artificially convey prospective surfers to a web location (web site).

Metaphorically, web site optimization is identical to tweaking a car for a race.

At your web site the "driver" is your sales literature, and the "engine" your optimized web pages.

Search engines are the "track" and visitors are the "moderators".

Top search engine positioning is a "must", to claim your share of the phenomenal growth of Internet marketing, by deploying a totally aggressive, passive and sure-fire marketing approach, to penetrate your prospective customers, by getting your web site top ranked on the major search engines.

When optimizing a web site for top search engine rankings, it is crucial that you pick-up the best possible keywords, that reflect your site's main theme.

For instance, if I strive to promote a hotel in a Greek island, like Rodos on the Internet, I'd optimize numerous specific keywords that potential customers search via search engines, like:

“Accommodation in Rodos" - "Rodos hotel" - "Rodos hotels" - "Rodos apartments" - "Best hotel in Rodos" - "Vacations in Rodos" - "Holidays in Rodos/Greece" - "Holidays in Greek islands" and the list goes on…

The same strategy applies to every online business, in every industry.

The right keywords, can literally propel your profits online, because visitors are highly targeted and eventually have pertinent interest to what you have to offer.

A sure-fire tactic to boosting search engine rankings, is to start evaluating which keywords your visitors "searched" to reach your web site via search databases.

Here’s a hypothetical sample of the server's log files where the prospective visitor uses the Google search engine.

(this is a partial example only)

* /search hl=en q=web site promotion *

Now, we know that an 'X' number of visitors searched for 'web site promotion' to find my web site.

See now that you know exactly which percentage of your visitors want a specific piece of information. You can (have to) use this information to your advantage by persuading the visitor that your web site is the most complete and up-to-date for his dollar.

Your visitor wants as much as quality information as possible, about finding 'web site promotion' information.

But of course you are not the only one who provides this information and that's why you have to make your web site's sales copy more fulfilling. You have to make your prospect feel *lucky*, by making your web site reflect professionalism, because it gratifies the visitor with specific information.

We can't sell anything to anyone and that's why we need to target more specific keywords than generic. In this paradigm, the generic keyword is 'promotion' and the specific (niche) keyword-phrase is 'web site promotion'.

For optimum search engine rankings — get "linked"
In case you are not acquainted with the term 'Link Popularity', keep in mind the following:

*Link Popularity is the total number of web pages that link back to a web site.*

To improve your site's link popularity, start making interesting link exchange proposals, to webmasters who promote a web site that compliments your products/services, but not web sites that are in direct competition with yours.

However don't overdo it… In most cases 5 to 20 link trades are ample to boost your site's rankings. Just go after for web sites that are a "perfect match" with your web site's keywords.

Day 17 - RSS feeds

Posted 21 months ago

More Traffic in 30 Days Step by Step
- 356 Days To 25k Visitors A Year

view 30 days to massive traffic introduction page

An effective source of traffic to my home based business site would have to be my RSS feeds, they are located in the top right hand of this page. Every article and update can be sent to subscribers as soon as I publish new content to my blog. These blog feeds bring in a great number of targeted visitors to my site.

With blogger, Google Blog Search instantly indexes my site and places me in front of targeted traffic. Within minutes of posting it is possible to get targeted traffic to the site.

In order to increase exposure of an RSS feed it should be submitted to RSS search engines and directories. This can be done manually. Just as you would submit the URL of a website or web page to a search engine you will need to submit the link of the actual feed located on your website to the RSS directories. There is a large list of RSS directories at

How can RSS improve my Search Engine Rankings?

Provide Fresh, Updated Content
This may be the most important feature of RSS feeds. As new content is added the oldest article is dropped. This allows you to have fresh relevant content on your site hour or every day. Freshness is an important aspect of a pages rank.

Well, using the relevancy algorithm, both articles appear equally relevant. However, they really aren't, because obviously the newer article is more likely to contain the information which you seek. This is why the search engines have added a freshness component to their ranking schemes - in an effort to provide the best results to their users, they should provide not only relevant articles, but "fresh" articles as well. Therefore, nowadays, the most recent article (or most recently updated website) would be listed before the less recent article (or less recently updated website), all other factors being equal.

Result in More Frequent Spidering

Adding a RSS feed to a site can cause the Googlebot to visit almost daily, it sees fresh relevant content. It looks as though the site is having regular themed updates and thinks it needs to visit daily.

Provides Instant Themed Content
There are several publishers of RSS feeds that are specific to a particular theme.
Since the feed is highly targeted, it could contain several keywords that you want to rank highly for.
Adding these keywords to your pages helps Google tag your site as one with relevant content.

I am sure you can see how this will help your site.
