The Lure of Easy Money, It’s Gotta Very Strong Appeal
Sometimes I wonder why we make things harder than they have to be. Lets be honest. If I’m not mistaken you took some of your time today to read a blog or two or ten. I know I did. I ran across a post from Caroline Middlebrook today about Making Money Blogging by Selling Your Knowledge. At first blush I thought I read the title wrong. After reading it I thought , hallelujah, we agree. That’s not always been the case.

Uh oh, What Is Don Doing Now?
Hello there! My name is Landon Porter, also known as “The Social Agent.” I am a new writer here at… MakingSalesMakingMoney.com.
Yep, all I had to do to get this spot was to tie Don up and hang him over the third story balcony. After almost three hours, he finally gave in. I am thrilled about this and am looking forward to becoming a part of this community.
A Blogger In Need And A Friend Indeed
How many times can lightning strike in the same place? Well when is comes to my hosting of this site apparently over and over. This past Saturday night I was chatting with Monika on Skpe and posting an article about choosing partners for your home based business. As always I posted it on Blogging Zoom, but there was an interesting plug in I was looking at and tried to use my FTP client to experiment with it. I soon discovered my hosting had been merged with another account that I own with Blue Host. Initially I was confused, but the site was still operating so I e-mailed support, because their 24/7 support department had the weekend off for Easter.
I woke Easter morning to find my site acting up and quickly backed-up my data base. Then the site disappeared, poof , gone. I was a little more than concerned when my e-mails went un-answered for the better part of 24 hours. I finally reached them at 1 AM my time on Monday morning. Here is where it gets really fun. They have no idea how that happened, nor did they know where my database went. I talked with them on the phone for about 2 hours and gave up
Choosing the Perfect Business Partner
Your home based business is going to reach a point where you can’t do anymore. You work and work and never seem to get past the point where you want to be. It’s funny the way that works. You get a glimpse of your dream but it always seems just out of the reach of your hands.
Why? It’s because you’re trying to reach for it with your hands and as you have discovered, you can only put your hands on so many things in a given day or week. Your plans for the expansion of your dream are at a standstill. You will have to expand your business with your brains, not your hands. You need an employee or a partner. They need to be the right fit. Here are a few things you should consider before partnering with anyone.
Basic Essentials For Business Success
When Don proposed his idea of baby steps that lead to big changes the other day to get other writers on board to talk about their respective experiences on the Internet I jumped at the idea. Why, because I strongly believe his vision and therefore I follow along with it. Now, I could just say why would I want to do this when I’m a flat out writer and really don’t have any spare time on hand.
Monika Mundell Joins the Team and More
Folks I have been away from posting for a bit as I work my plan and the vision into my site. I have been negotiating, communicating, and interviewing various potential contributors for the site. I mentioned earlier it was not going to be easy. It is safe to assume I was correct. It would appear there are a few people interested in taking part of what I want to do for this site. There are many more who want to watch and that’s just fine, I m a show me kind of guy myself. However it is going to happen and I would like to introduce, although she does not need introduction, Monika Mundell. Monika and I first connected through one of her posts, if I recall correctly, and she was the first person to comment on the article on the post about the vision Recently we have been talking up a storm on Skype and I have only grown to like her more. She is an accomplished writer and will contribute weekly to the site with articles of her choosing. I told her I would post her picture on the site, and I have to admit it does add to the beauty of the site. As most of you know she guest posted a couple of weeks ago and her article was a most popular one. She will answer her own comments and I feel privileged to have her on board. Now I have a request, please welcome her on board with a comment. She is the real deal and it’s hard for me to contain my excitement over her contributions.
Baby Steps Lead to Big Changes
For weeks now I have been brainstorming a concept for my home based business. Since the launch of this site in September of 2007 my purpose has been to help others realize their own dreams through my experience over the last 30 years. I have helped some, and for that I am proud. I have tried diligently to filter out the MB’s of garbage out there and offer my readers a safe haven for ideas and concepts they could apply to their own businesses. I have in my estimation made baby steps, but those baby steps will lead to big changes.
The Necessity of Networking
The title says it all. Networking is a necessary component of any business, home based or traditional, yet I still encounter business owners resistant to making an effort to do so. It occurred to me that perhaps I could remind everyone of a few basic fundamentals to restart your networking strategies. Your voice, your words left to their own devices will only go so far. If you could tell 1000 people a day about your business that’s great. There is a ceiling to what you can effectively promote in a given day, but what if those 1000 told a thousand more and so on. When you get others to talk about how remarkable your product or service is, your story becomes viral. The news spreads through multiple sources and your business essentially gets launched
Effective Niche Marketing for Home Based Business
This Post was written by Monika Mundell
As many of you already know by know, there is a lot of money in niches. But niche sites aren’t straight out niche sites. There is a slight distinction in regards to how a niche can be built and this post will touch on this a little more closely.
But before we go into this I’d like to look at why niche sites hold so much fascination with small home business owners. What gets us excited about building niche sites opposed to building a blog or a website?
