Content Writing with Prejudice, Procrastination and Perfection
Responsibilities, assignments and duties don’t just go away now that you own a home based business. You are now charged with the task for insuring their completion. If you are like most, you are doing this by yourself. It then becomes very important to classify what kind of style you posses when it comes communicating information about your business. Since we are in the information business, let’s concentrate on how we write an article. Properly written your article should encourage your reader to read the next sentence and the next one and the next one and so on. Before we tap the first keystroke, we need to discover our own identity. Who we are determines how we communicate, whether verbally or the written word. As you will find out near the end of this article, time and priorities become very important.

Business Opportunities Weblog and Making Sales Making Money have joined together in a content contributing project. Sometime ago I was introduced to Dane Carlson’s Business Opportunities Weblog.

We check in with one another from time to time, and Dane suggested we do a project together and we agreed to brainstorm for an idea. The result is we will begin to contribute to each other’s site on a regular basis. I will post on his site and he will contribute on Making Sales Making Money.

Blogging Zoom a Victim of Hackers
Courtney informed us all the afternoon that Blogging Zoom had indeed been hacked. Perhaps I am too new at this to understand; but what thrill is derived form these mindless acts of vandalism? I feel certain Blogging Zoom will be back , stronger than ever. Vic and Court have worked very hard to make this service as successful as it is. Perhaps it was too successful for some. It just amazes me that anyone could be so ignorant as to think this crap would serve some sort of purpose, but I suppose we could say that about alot of things in this world; couldn’t we?

Running a Home Based Business Like a Business
There is nothing quite so fulfilling as being your own boss. I became afflicted with the bug at an early age and have never regretted a single moment of providing for my family and myself.

Define your Niche, Stay in Your Niche
Lately I have looked at many sites that seem to lack specific focus. After arriving to the site I am generally confused as to what the site is about. The article titles cover a wide range of topics. I usually leave with the thought of; what the heck was that? Properly researched your niche not only should be defined, one should seek to focus specifically on your chosen field. Your objective for your home based business is to become an authority in your field. Many take a shotgun approach to blogging and websites, adding banners and ads from every conceivable resource, making an effort at getting traffic and with a hope and a prayer, start checking their affiliate stats pages for income. If that is working for you, good for you, here is to your prosperity. It won’t for most.
Technology, Hosting Issues Will Not Win
I thought it might be appropriate to share with everyone some truth about my own blog. I am presently in a major conflict with a company that has my database on their server. They are not wiling to give me access to it. Add to that a hosting company with a customer service department with a passion for sending form letters and you have a recipe for aggravation. Consequently I have had to look for other resources to move my hosting and access a copy of my database. I recently downloaded a plug-in suggested by Court, to secure a copy of my database There are some blood, sweat and tears in the content of this page and I don’t want to lose it to the unscrupulous ones in our culture. As most of you know, technology is my nemesis, so I outsourced my issues to Courtney Tuttle, or at least tried to, and Court concluded something I already knew. “Don you really need to ditch your hosting company”, the transfer of my domain is underway as well as the hosting. I have chosen Blue Host as they host all my niche sites and I have never been treated as well as I have been with them. Their customer service techs are really helpful and have restored a measure of my faith in the customer service process. Perhaps when this is over I will review the above company in Blogger Unleashed style, but by that time my anger and frustration will resolve itself, but my oh my , it’s tempting.

The Times They are a Changin
