Last January I sent to a Newsletter to my subscribers telling them of my plans for the year . It included setting up 25 sites by years end. Folks I was wrong , I now have 75 , including Bans sites, niche site and the supporting infrastructure. It has been a lot of work but not as much as it could have been were it not for some tools I have added to my home based business. I use Social Bookmaking Software, Directory Submitter , Keyword Elite and SEO Elite . All have served me well. I would like to introduce what has been to this point the best online business software I have purchased. Niche Store Writer , developed by Dave Kingston.

Embracing Adversity in Your Business or Your Life

Filed Under Starting your Online Business | 6 Comments

istock_000003830772xsmall.jpgYou might be thinking how can adversity be a tool for my home based business? On the surface it doesn’t sound right does it? The fact is if you have not faced adversity in your home based business, you will. It may happen today, tomorrow or sometime down the road, but be sure, it’s coming. How you deal with that adversity, is really the issue at hand. Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I’ll show you someone who has overcome adversity. What may seem like adversity to you, may not to others, but we all have a threshold that is going to get crossed. We have choices. We can react , usually with negative results, or we can respond, usually with a positive result.

About Confidence - Steps To Boost

Posted on May 4, 2008 
Filed Under Ramblings | 5 Comments

confidence Being confident is an attribute many of us lack. Some people are over confident in whatever they do which could easily be seen as bordering on arrogant, while others are ever afraid of taking pro-active measures and the more they hesitate, the lower their confidence level sinks.

While I might come across a very confident writer, I can tell you this. I am. The thing is, that when we feel good about what we do, then confidence comes naturally. We are filled with euphoria and when we feel good, we also feel confident.

Its The Business We Have Chosen

istock_000005558176xsmall.jpgThis week I added some 50 + sites to my home based business. My friends it’s a lot of work. Please don’t let anyone tell you it is not. My sleep pattern is , well, not a sleep pattern at all. My girlfriend has helped me as she is a part of the process. My dog thinks I have forgotten him and probably wonders if I am ever going to come out of my home based business office. My hope is that we will all soon be reaping the rewards of our sacrifices, but at the end of the day, it’s the business we have chosen.

The Missing Ingredient: Customer Service

Posted on April 20, 2008 
Filed Under Starting your Online Business | 8 Comments

What happened to good old customer service in our world? I mean really, is it possible that while we spend our hard earned money these days we can’t expect something in return. Some dignity. Some friendliness. Some service.

customer service

I really wonder what has become of our 21st century, because just about everywhere I go these days, customer service isn’t existent anymore.

Last week I was skyped by one of my clients who runs a blog. He skyped me to thank me for taking part in his blog’s conversations and interacting with his readers. Naturally you can imagine that I was very much pleased he did this, since commenting is part of my professional blogging services.

So You Want Writing To Be Your Niche?

Posted on April 17, 2008 
Filed Under Starting your Online Business | 6 Comments

Home based business opportunitiesSometime back in late March I wrote an article about the lure of easy money. I ended the post with an offer to help anyone with a dream and desire to establish a home based business. I heard from a few WAHM’s, a graphic designer, and some others with different ideas and dreams of the kind of home based business they wanted to start. I generally start my interview by asking them to list a few things about themselves and their passions. From that list, we work together to narrow it down to a list of one. The common theme I found in most all of the inquiries, with the possible exception of one or two, was that they all said they were writers and most of them had writing on their list of ways to monetize to make money online.

One Man’s Goal… Score! One Man Scammed

Posted on April 12, 2008 
Filed Under Ramblings | 24 Comments

Another Make Money online blog has been sold. One Mans Goal netted Bryan Clark 10 LARGE from a young man named Marc Galeazzi. There isn’t a law to protect the innocent from such assaults, but maybe there should be. It is a dog eat dog world and we all know that, but somehow I feel like a pit bull just ate a puppy. What wrong with this picture?

Number one, by his own admission the new owner states he knows nothing about WordPress. That’s a curious statement as a stand alone, but I can hear the previous owner saying, no worries mate, you can learn it in a week and you will be on your way!

Brand Yourself To Stand Out

Where do you start when creating your brand?  Unique personalities stand out from the crowd.

Your personal brand is the anchor that you tie your online activity to.   Your online presence is the sum total of all your online activity.  I was fielding questions on Monday for a project I am working on when  the question  “what do you mean online presence”?  “Isn’t that just your website”? Was asked.

Some Things You Might Not Know About eBay Users

Posted on April 10, 2008 
Filed Under Starting your Online Business, bans | 3 Comments

I wanted to add some more secrets of eBay users to try and help you understand how to capitalize on the habits of eBay users. I have 20-25 BANS sites now. I am planning many more. The majority of my sites will feature collectibles of all types. People collect and people will always collect. They desire to hoard things of all shapes and sizes. Now some will tell you that collecting is their hobby. Okay, that is a reasonable explanation, but not one that I used to decide which direction I would go in choosing my categories and domain names. I promise you what you are about to read will surprise some of you. Here is why. Take a look at this quote.

Bans and The Secrets of Ebay Users

Posted on April 9, 2008 
Filed Under Starting your Online Business | 6 Comments

Today I set up 20 BANS Sites. I purchased 20 domains last night. It was not a struggle for me. If this is not the easiest set up of a make money site on the internet, you will have to show me something better. As you know by now, BANS sites pull eBay feeds and within 7 or 8 minutes you will have a BANS Site up and running. A problem for some people is what site keyword or eBay category to choose. I want to give you a look inside the thinking of the regular eBay buyer. Before 911 I made a comfortable living selling on eBay. How much is a comfortable living? I grossed 300 k my last year, and that was comfortable enough for me. BANS sites have restored our relationships and here is why.

When Collecting Is Good For Business

Posted on April 7, 2008

image Being a woman isn’t always easy. My dreams of living in total Zen-harmony are constantly shattered by a hoarding husband who just loves holding on to old stuff because we (might need it again at some stage). If you are a little like me you’ll understand what I mean by this. Don’t worry, hubby has given me full approval to post this, since he actually agrees (go figure).

While living in a cluttered environment can seriously diminish our productivity, holding on to “stuff” is actually good for business.
