BANS Domain Selection, Cheaper Not Always Better

As everyone knows getting an info domain indexed these days is quite the challenge. I own 40 or so myself and I continue to get links for them. I know one day they will be indexed. There are many people trying different methods and with some success. Installing a blog ahead of your BANS site seems to be the most popular. However, I want to talk more about buying existing domains. Yeah I know it is more expensive. Just hold on to that thought for a minute, and if you just don’t have the money, I understand.

Social Media and the Power of Giving

Did you shy away from the title of this post at first? No worries I am sure most people did. It is born in all of us. We are far better at taking and receiving than giving aren’t we? Now before you hit the back button, because you are thinking you are not that way, give it a few more minutes. It really is related to blogging. How many sites have you visited that busy receiving without regard to giving. Winston Churchill once said , We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Seems there are bunch of them who read the first part of Churchill’s statement and choose to ignore the rest. If you are not willing to give in the social media world, and everyone has that decision to make, don’t plan on receiving much.

See How Much Money I Made, It’s That Time Again

Thanksgiving and Christmas are behind us and all we have to safely negotiate is New Years. Shortly thereafter the blogosphere will be inundated with post about how much the various make money blogs earned during the month of December. Some will claim they experienced a holiday rush and sales records were set. Others will suggest the December lull was the result of a technical difficulty with their site, but somehow they managed to save the month in the last week by installing some fancy widget that boosted traffic and thus profit, and may suggest you do the same. Coming from a traditional business background where profits and bottom lines were closely guarded secrets, I am amazed. Why do blog owners post this kind of information as a matter of public record? Can you believe them? Mr Ripley made it famous to believe it or not. The short answer to that question is NO, you cant believe them.

Life is a Niche , Pick One !

dice.jpgI suppose today articles will be posted all over the blogosphere about choosing, determining, and researching the proper niche. While the ambitions of those are similar, results, can be dramatically different. I believe in my heart of hearts many will choose about making money online, why, because they do not trust the knowledge they possess themselves. Life is a niche isn’t it? Choose one , commit to one and then begin to cultivate one. The word niche is certainly catchy and is applied to all areas our lives. I love words, so as is my custom ,I dove into defining this word, and came up with these interpretations.

How Bad do People Want to Make Money Online

The niche of making money online is without a doubt the most sought after niche in blogging. I have recently posted articles about making money. I have posted about creating a business. Whats the difference? I am glad you asked.

My post on Monday was about requiring initiative to make money online now. Someone really enjoyed it, Stumbled it and the momentum from that Stumble lasted until my server went down yesterday. Darn maybe that is what caused my server all the grief! Traffic for this site was at an all time high. Please don’t hear me wrong here, I am grateful.

You Need Initiative to Make Money Online Now

I was talking with a friend of mine today about starting a blog. We chatted for bit online and he decided he was going to investigate further his chosen niche. I was telling him that personally I was fearless when it came to these things. The investment is so low, and the overhead is well, in your head. Your knowledge. What he was lacking is initiative. He has a niche, he just not willing to scratch it.

Compentency or Attitude Which one would you Hire

Recently I posted an article about Choosing Your Attitude. It was generally well received based on the number of sites that tracked back. However, is attitude all you need to be successful? Let’s give that some thought. People often confuse a confidence with competence. Confidence is a function of attitude. Competence is a function of ability. If you think you can do something that is confidence. However if you know you can do something that is competence. The two are vastly different. Add into the equation experience for which there is no replacement.

Expand your Home Based Business with your Brains not your Hands

Years ago, actually more years ago than I care to remember I was a young business owner who thought knew everything. Have you ever met that type of person? As a young man I was full of energy and could work on 2-3 hours of sleep if necessary. The do whatever it took attitude I had was going to make me rich. I figured if I worked harder than anyone I would have more success than anyone. At age 22 I had a thriving service business, a family and more money to pay the bills than I needed. It is kind of nice when there is more money at the end of the month, than having more month than money.
