Its The Business We Have Chosen
This 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
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.
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?
Sometime 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
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!
Branding Yourself, Where To Start? Personality = Uniqueness
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
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
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
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.
Your Brand, Your Business. Be Serious About Both!
Are you serious about your online business? If you are, do you realize how important your brand is to your business success?
Have you ever heard of RC Cola? If so, can you remember what the can looked like? Okay, how about Coca Cola? What does that can look like? Being able to recognize a name brand and associate the representing cola can is a great example of the difference between great branding and poor branding.
On Being Remarkable and Being Remembered
What makes a site remarkable? What makes a product or service remarkable? We live in a world that makes being remarkable very difficult. There are millions of people trying to do the same things you want to accomplish. So how do you set yourself apart? Seth Godin made lot of money on the thought of being remarkable. I answered a few comments and e-mails of late and I want to take some time to explore a few ideas. They may or not be remarkable.
What I do find remarkable is it is often easier for me to see being remarkable in others more quickly than I do myself.
Free Yourself From Office Clutter
One of the biggest issues we often have by working from home is the amount of clutter we assemble in our office. The worst kind for me is the digital clutter. I’m not sure how you organize yours, but I’m trying to shed some light on what I do to keep track of my digital and paper clutter.
Like with clutter in our home we often tend to think that paper and digital clutter will be used later and therefore we file it away for further use, only to never look at it again.
Does this ring a bell?
