Home Business Tips - Are You in it Just For the Money?

You know the saying. It goes something like this: do what you love and the money will follow. Is it true is it just a feel-good myth? Well, the truth is probably somewhere in between. Sometimes, if you do what you love, the money will come. Other times, maybe not. That said, I do think anyone will make more money online and in their home business if they do something they are passionate about.

You see, if you are not passionate about your business, it will tell. You will spend less hours on your business and your sales will suffer. Your customers can tell that you have not put your heart and soul into your products. Your products will appear shoddy and your reputation will suffer. Not to mention, your expertise of your business won't be great and it will show. All that isn't good stuff.

If you are in it not just for the money, if you are in it for a purpose (to never work for a boss again, to teach ten thousand people or how to do something, or some other cause), then your passion in your business will show. You will have fire, and you will work and focus on the tasks at hand to make your business succeed. At the same time, you will serve more people along the way and hence make more money.

So don't be in it just for the money. Go for a business you are passionate about. Have a cause. Your business, and your life, will love you for it.

Craigslist

Craigslist is Ghosting My Ads - Sensational Strategies for Avoiding the Ghost


It's never a huge surprise that when a new and innovative way comes around to make money online, eventually there will be a glut of unscrupulous people abusing the privilege. Essentially, this is what has happened on Craigslist, where having offered the vehicle by which people like you and I could advertise our offers to HUGE numbers of eyeballs for free...a huge influx of spammers has ruined the proverbial party by posting so often their fingers are probably bleeding from the effort.



And of course, to combat this, Craigslist has come up with a somewhat unique and annoyingly inconsistent way of reigning in the rotten apples. It is called "ghosting", and is the process by which your ad appears to have been accepted by the system, looks "live" within your admin account..yet, is nowhere to be found in the real time results. Can be a very frustrating experience without any question, and has led many craigslist posting fanatics to jump ship and find greener pastures to pick.


Here is a very easy way for you to avoid the "ghost" if you are getting it..:-) Now, I've written extensively about this in other places, and do only have limited space here, but the simplest thing you can do if your ads are being ghosted is this: Simply host your images somewhere that you see lots of other ads using for theirs. Not your own domain obviously...a public image repository is good for example. Link your CL ad to that image rather than pointing to your own domain. Then..using your image editing software, simply overlay your URL text into the image itself, thus negating the need for a live link, one of the prime triggers for Casper and friends to come by and say Boo!


Then...and this is a very well tested strategy by both myself and others, simply use a dial up connection when making your posts. One very well accepted cause of ghosting is multiple posts from the same IP - and simply logging in with a dial up modem, off and then on again for each set of new posts is a very simple, and effective way of negating that issue for me, and many others as well.


Of course there is more - but if you do the above, you WILL see your ghosting rates dropping fast, meaning more live ads, and more commissions for you! Good luck..:-)

Turnkey Web Site

Turnkey Web Site Software - How To Earn Money Online With No Coding Required


Many people are reluctant to attempt an online business because they don't personally posses the technical skills to build a web site themselves. In the past this was a realistic reason to avoid an online business venture. However, as the Internet has matured so have the turnkey web site software tools that are available. Today, it is quite easy to bring up a site without any programming skills whatsoever. This possibility opens the online business world to an entirely new set of players.


If you are new to the online world and would like to start a small online home business for extra income, I would highly encourage it. It's loads of fun and can stimulate your thinking in many new ways. That being said, please don't quit your day-job just yet. It's a competitive world on the Internet and the best strategy is to ease into it while you still have a regular income.


That being said, for the new beginner here are the simple steps that you can follow to bring up a turnkey web site and start generating affiliate revenues quite easily. First, you need to join 3 different affiliate programs. These are all well-known brands so you should have no hesitations.

1) Amazon Associates2) Google AdSense3) Commission Junction (which is where eBay has outsourced their affiliate program).


Now you have three viable revenue sources. Each of the companies list above will pay you for every sale that results from Internet traffic you send them. That's right, you are now part of the extended sales force for Amazon and eBay. That will give you a world of products to sell without having to hold any inventory. The only problem now is that you don't have any Internet real estate where you can market these products and generate sales leads. If you were technical, I'd say get to work and build your own site. However, the entire purpose of this article is to highlight how you can still run a successful online marketing business with turnkey web site software and no coding whatsoever.


To launch your web presence, I recommend the IncomeStores.com turnkey web site platform. I work very closely with this project so I have a high degree of confidence in the product. I speak to site owners every day who are making strong revenues from their IncomeStores. Additionally, there was a public beta-test held at the DigialPoint Forum where the results were openly discussed among 25 active members of the forum with no previous connection to the software. For more details on the software, see the site.


In conclusion, the fact that you don't possess programming skills is no longer a valid reason for not starting an online business. If you have a passion for business and really want to take part of the online revolution, a turnkey web site is your answer. Following the simple steps in this article will quickly get your online business up and running.
