How to start a home based business online!

Excerpt from: How to use social networks to market your business

2009-03-21T16:20:00.000-07:00

Most of what we have been shown concerning the use of social networks to market a business has been theory. Many people “think” they have it figured out, but are not getting any results.

One of my favorite “newbie” mistakes is the comment board posts (for example) that read, “Hi, it’s great to see you here! Have you heard of…?” Sound familiar? Of maybe, “Hi, welcome to our network. Would you mind taking a quick look at this and let me know what you think? Here’s my link…”

Those who GIVE are respected, thus helping your brand. This is the basic fundamental of attraction marketing.

How to use BulkTweets for driving targeted followers!

2009-03-18T23:26:00.000-07:00

Here’s what you’re going to want to do…

1.) When you get to the main page, type in a niche market keyword or phrase that best describes your target market. As a home business and Internet marketing specialist, one of the niches I target with this is MLM. MLMers make up a big part of my student base.

2.) The next page will reveal a whole lot of Tweeple that are talking about MLM. Please take note here… not everything that people have to say about your niche is going to be good, so opting to use the “Tweet These Users” button at the top of the page, right now, could be bad new for you.

Excerpt from: Bill Mitchells’ Notes From Facebook: Leveraging the World’s Largest Marketing Platform

2009-03-17T12:02:00.000-07:00

So what is the worlds largest and most cost efficient marketing platform?
Is it television? Nope.
Is it Billboards? Nope.
What about “Word of Mouth” advertising? Still no dice

The largest and most cost efficient marketing platform is text messaging.
Some statistics to share, courtesy of Wikipedia:

1. 2.4 BILLION people worldwide own some sort of SMS text messaging enable device.
2. Since 2006, the text message advertising has exploded into a 80 billion dollar industry.

In this article, I am going to teach you how you can immediately take advantage of this technology to further grow your business.

There are two ways you can transmit text messages to text messaging devices:

1. You can send text messages via electronic mail and
2. You can send them via Instant Message

GREED is a killer, will people ever learn?

2009-03-16T11:02:00.000-07:00

There is a simple solution to all of this, and when people decide to wake up and utilize the laws of the Universe the way they were intended to be used, they will see a change for the better in their lives. If people want change, they want prosperity and they want freedom, then they must first GIVE! The Bible teaches it, The Master Key Systemteaches it, Napolean Hill taught it in “Think and Grow Rich.” You must first give if you ever plan to receive anything that isn’t going to whither away with the dust of time.

Excerpt From: The importance of focus and the power of concentration

2009-03-04T07:41:00.000-08:00

One of the most important aspects of building a business is understanding how to find the RIGHT referrals and prospects. The person I spoke with this morning IS exactly that. Because of the fact that the breakthrough came through the PRODUCT, she is now motivated to share her story with others because of the impact of the PRODUCT on her daughters life. Here is a child facing a life ending physical condition. Now, after using this PRODUCT for only 30 days, conditions have changed and the life of the child is no longer in danger. That’s a powerful story and the mother of this child realizes that.

Starting a home based business in the struggling economy.

There are many people that believe the dream of starting and prospering with a successful home based business has passed us by. Fortunately, that's not the case!

Industry leaders and business titans are sharing the same sentiment... that the key to prosperity during the economic transition is a home based business!

I believe that you will find the following interview with Mike Dillard and Robert Kiyosaki something of great interest if you are in the early planning, just getting started or even thinking about giving up.

Helpful resources for the building of a new home based business

2008-10-04T15:47:00.000-07:00

Have you ever purchased a new bi-cycle unassembled? Imagine the headache it would cause for the mechanically un-inclined were there no directions to follow. They would have no idea as to the tools needed, for starters. To most, it would like like a "mess" in a box.

This is why having a guideline to follow, when you are working to start a home based business, is so important. Most of the things we need or do in life are much easier when we have guidelines to follow.

If your plan includes the use of the Internet to promote your home based business then you will need to know...

*How to advertise on the Internet*How to get listed in the search engines
*How to target the traffic, from the search engines, that you need
*How to either build or buy a website
*Where to buy a domain name and web hosting*How to accept online payments
*How to generate and manage a database

... and more.

It seems simple enough, right? In theory, it's not difficult if you have directions to follow. How hard can it be to build a website? Well, if you don't know how, it can be very difficult.

What about building a mailing list? A mailing list is vital to the success of any Internet based business.

And what does it really take to get the targeted traffic from the search engines? How are you going to tap into that stream of people who are looking for what you are selling?

The questions are best answered by someone who has gone before you, with success. Finding a business coach/mentor is the easiest way to get things up and running correctly.

Major companies use consultants and experts, all of the the time, to guide them through transitions and products... it's part of being in business.

If you are here today and are considering a home based business of your own, I am here to help!

How to develop a business plan for your home based business

2008-10-02T12:48:00.000-07:00

Failure to plan, in any business, is a recipe for failure. Ask any general before leading troops into battle. Without a tactical plan, you can just about assure the demise of your army. The same things applies to a home based business.

First, determine what it is that you are passionate about. What is it that you could do, everyday, for work, and never get tired of it. It's okay, whatever it is, that's fine. This will drive you and motivate you to work! It could be anything, a hobby, a sport, an activity, ministry, whatever, that's okay! Passion is great fuel!

Second, write down your vision for the future. What is it that you want to accomplish with your business? Maybe you want to put your kids through college, form a charitable organization or spend your days out on the golf course. Determine what you want to BE, and focus with all concentration on that.

Third, do your research. Determine the depth of your target market. You can do this online by visiting SEO Tools. Use the keyword selector tool to type in the name of your product, idea, service or concept to determine how many people are looking for what you have to offer on a daily basis.

Fourth, acquire the knowledge you need. If you are a self starter and want to do the building yourself, you will need to know how to build. Learning to do the work, especially online, is not only rewarding, but gives you an advantage over your competition, regardless of the business you chose to build.

Fifth, find an Internet marketing mentor. Learn from those who have gone before you. Most, if they are worth their salt, will be happy to assist you and guide you in the right direction. Many offer live training that will help you learn much faster than trying to learn through a book.

How to implement video marketing strategies through websites and blogs by Rex Harris

2008-09-25T17:58:00.000-07:00

Video marketing is becoming increasingly popular online. With the availability of video sharing sites like YouTube, Revver, MetaCafe, TubeMogul and more, anyone can create and share video with the right tools.

That being said, while I applaud anyone making the effort to use these resources, there is a right way and a wrong way to do things.

Content is king these days and the better the content in your video and descriptions (especially on YouTube) the better, and more numerous, will be your listing on the major search engines. YouTube is a quick ticket to the front pages of the search engines, but you have to create your channels and video pages correctly.

One common mistake that people are making with video marketing is trying to hard to advertise and sell. You will do much better sharing quality content that is of actual benefit to the viewer versus the "run of the mill" advertising that is considered spam on most sites.

A great camera to get started with can be found on the FlipVideo website. These little pocket sized cameras create great video, up to an hours worth... and they go anywhere! Powered by two double A batteries, if you run out of juice in the field, it's a simple fix.

I also recommed the use of Windows Movie Maker (available in service pack 3 for XP). This is a great way to take common video and give it some flare! The video included in this blog was created using a combination of photo's, text, video footage using my Flip camera and Windows Movie Maker.

How to start a Christian based home business using the Internet by Rex Harris

2008-09-23T18:53:00.000-07:00

"For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you." A direct quote from Jesus! Luke 14:28 & 29 - NLT

One of the biggest mistakes that I see, as a home business marketing specialist and mentor/coach is the failure of new home business owners to create a business plan. Without the proper planning, just as stated in the Biblical reference above, disaster is usually the end result.

The Bible also talks about planning in the book of Habakuk 2 where it states "write the vision down, make it plain on the tablets that those who read may run with it."

Napolean speaks of the importance of planning in Think and Grow Rich, chapter two, where he has the reader create a list of resources needed that will be focused upon through thought, faith and meditation. This is a principle also taught in the Master Key System when Charles Haanel tells us that "thought is the secret to all attainment."

Here are a handful of simple steps that you can use to formulate an effective plan for the building of a "Christian based home business."

First, give everything over to God in prayer and meditation, everyday, before you begin work. You will notice, in doing this, that your day will flow with greater peace and joy than trying to control everything on your own. Both the Master Key System and the Bible teach that we are to "Seek first the Kingdom" before things are added to us so make sure to put the quiet time alone with God as the top priority.

Second, write things down. Ideas, thoughts, suggestions from others, research... whatever! If it either pertains or can have an impact on your home business, make sure that you put it in writing and tape it to the wall where you can see and think on the plan at will.

Third, seek the right help. If you have never started a home based business find someone who has and is willing to help you get things started. Finding the right mentor will not only make the task of starting your home business easier, it will give you someone to bounce ideas off of, share in frustrations (as they will arise) as well as victories and, above all, to increase your knowledge base which will empower you to leverage people into business with you.
