I’ve been in your shoes before! You wake up one morning with a great home business idea. You’re excited and ready to get started.
But let’s be practical BEFORE you invest your time and money. I’m not trying to burst your bubble. Trust me – a little forethought will save you a lot of heartache in the long run.
Here are a couple of things to consider…
Do You Have the Time?
There are only so many hours in a day – and you want to save some of them for yourself. The best way to make sure you have enough time is to learn time management.
Do You Have a Strong Desire?
It’s one thing to come up with an idea and something altogether different to follow through. What are you going to do when the going gets tough? This is the time to fall back on your strong desire – if you have one. In other words, do you want it enough to press onward or is it just a daydream?

Besides being a lucrative autopilot online business bonanza, creating an eBook empire has many other benefits as well.
Consider these:
- You don’t have to stock an inventory. Every eBook you offer can be digitally downloaded from the internet.
- Your overhead costs are low. Think about it. You don’t have to pay for the printing and binding of your eBooks.
- Your products are available 24/7. Unlike a book store, your eBooks are available anytime of the day or night anywhere in the world. Continue reading →
The first commandment of internet marketing is “Thou Shalt Not Spam.”
Spam is defined as unsolicited email messages that are sent out to the masses.
Sending out spam will hurt your credibility, destroy your affiliate accounts, cause your ISP to ban you, potentially cause you to lose your autoresponder account, put you in a heap of legal problems and more.
And it just doesn’t make sense since spam doesn’t convert as well as targeted, “opt-in” email messages do anyway.
This is why an opt-in form – where people willingly enter their first name and email address – serves you better and protects what you’re creating. In fact, it’s best to utilize the double “opt-in” option most autoresponders provide.
So, remember, Thou Shalt Not Spam! It’s a very important commandment that you must live by if you plan on being successful on the internet.
Yeah! I like the money. And the hours. I even like that I can work in my PJs.
I like everything about working from home. But if I had to pick one thing – it’s the freedom.
I just took 4 days off from my “homework.” No begging the boss. No switching days off with a co-worker. And no dipping into my “personal days” to make it happen.
I just woke up and decided to do something else important to me. Continue reading →
OMG! I used to hate it when someone asked me what I did for a living. Tell them “internet marketing” and then count the blank stares and baffled looks.
Maybe it doesn’t bother you, but it bothered me until I found answers that put an end to those awkward moments.
You gotta get that practically everyone has an “already always understanding” of EVERYTHING you might say. Whether they know what it is or not!
For example, I say “lawyer” and it already has some sort of meaning for you (depending on your personal experience of lawyers). The same is true with doctor, plumber, mechanic, secretary – whatever. Continue reading →
Joint ventures (also known as JVs) are partnerships between two or more people, usually with the purpose of cross-promoting products.
Most types of JVs – in their simplest form – are really affiliate relationships. For example, you have a product – your JV partner has a forum, website, or email list. They promote your product and you pay your JV partner a commission for the sales he or she generates.
Joint ventures are great, because they allow you to go far beyond what you could accomplish by simply promoting to your own list, or on your own site. Continue reading →
Someone recently asked me why I work at home. Here’s the short list why – in no particular order…
- I get to spend more time with my family. I don’t know if that’s your thing, but it works for me.
- My overhead is low which means there’s more money to go around.
- I’m a creative sort that doesn’t fit into a corporate model – no Continue reading →
I know what you’re thinking. Something like this, “He said he was giving his personal experience away for free and now he’s asking me to pay the price. What gives?”
Well, it’s not that kind of price. I’m NOT asking for money, but I am asking if you’re willing to give up something – or maybe a lot of things, depending on your work habits.
You see, with any work from home endeavor, you’ll have to put in some time, effort and energy – especially in the beginning.
You’ll have to go through some internal growth and suffer some disappointment.
And you’ll have to give up some immediate gratification for long-term satisfaction.
But in the long run – when you’re in the top 1% of wealth accumulators (and yes, you can get there!) – it’ll be well worth it.
This is what I call PAYING THE PRICE. What are you willing to give up to achieve your goals? Continue reading →
The question of the day – what’s internet marketing?
Well, let’s start with what internet marketing is NOT. It’s NOT being an evil con artist. It’s NOT being the “serve-it-up-hot spam” king or queen. And it’s NOT just selling a family heirloom on eBay.
It’s so much more than this!
There’s a whole new world out there and just being here and reading this shows me that you realize this and you’re willing to step out and learn more. Continue reading →
A rose by any other name might smell as sweet, but choosing the wrong name for your business could spell disaster for you.
Here are some simple suggestions to stimulate your brain cells and help you create the perfect name for your new business.
The Professional Name
If you’re running a serious business targeted at professionals, you’ll probably want to keep the name sober, but memorable. A good formula is your surname, followed by what you do. For example, “Beckers Tailoring,” “Emrick Engineering” or “Owensby Marketing.”
The Cool Name Continue reading →
