Im Thinking Mark Ress Wont Use This Post
You know using someone’s content is as frequent someone taking a breath. I get that. I understand that. As my home based business grows I get exposed to it more and more everyday. I have another blog that has every article I have written in the past 2 months scraped by multiple people. For the most part I just delete the track back and move on. Today I ran across a person named Mark Ress who apparently has several HubPages on home based business and home based business opportunities. As regular readers know, my own home based business is now a full time Internet marketing business.

The Time Has Come to Fish or Cut Bait
Some of you may be familiar with the phrase Fish or Cut Bait. Here is the south we love these catchy little phrases. For the un-informed it means, either continue in a productive manner or desist entirely. Similar in meaning to ‘put up or shut up’ That time for myself and my home based business is now. Making Sales and Making Money has taken on a new meaning for this internet entrepreneur. Within the next week or so, I am resigning from my job with the U.S Government to pursue a life of full time internet marketing.
Embracing Adversity in Your Business or Your Life
You 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
