A work at home business is a dream of many people, especially these days considering the financial crises we are going through and a really down job market. Working at home offers a lot of great benefits beside the obvious ones.

Some of the best positive aspects of working from home include, not having to spend money on gas commuting to and form work, having more free time to spend with your family and doing the things you love to do, having the freedom to work whenever you want and of course the biggest one being your own boss and not having to answer to anyone. Unfortunately, some of these positives like working whenever you like and not having to answer to a boss, may effect your home business negatively if not checked and under control.

One of the biggest challenges of having a “work at home” business is keeping a plan and a regular schedule. Most people who work at home, face many distraction and obstacles. Many people think because you work at home, you don’t follow any rules. In many cases, family and friends will constantly distract you and expect you to play along. With all these obstacles and distractions, it is hard to stay focused and get things done. However, there are things you can do to make your work at home a bit more like an actual job. Things that will help you get more things done and achieve your business goals. Here are 5 tips to help you do just that:

Plan your work day

Take 10 minutes every morning (or if you prefer do it at the end of the day for the next day)Make a simple daily schedule and note everything that needs to get done that day. That will help you stay online and focused while avoiding distractions.

Go through with it

When it comes to work at home businesses, making a plan isn’t that hard, it only takes a few minutes, sticking with the plan is the hard part. But, if you want to succeed, it is necessary to stick with the plan. Do your best to stick with your daily schedule. However, in some occasions you may find it hard to go with the plan, don’t be so hard on yourself. Give yourself a break here and there. And remember, not everything goes as planned always!

Keep motivating yourself

Motivation is one of the biggest factors when it comes to having a good work day and accomplishing all the daily tasks. And since you work at home, that means, you are the one who has to keep you motivated and going. A simple way to keep yourself motivated is to keep things that are motivating to you, close by, on your desk perhaps. Write down your biggest goal and keep it in your desk where you can look at it every time you feel down. Keep a copy of that book that inspired you to start this business. Anything that you can look at and get motivation from.

Treat it as a real business

Just because you are your own boss and work from home doesn’t mean your work is not important. Your work at home business still is a business and like any other business, it needs to be dealt with as a business and not a hobby.

Set working hours

Working at the comfort of your own home has its benefits and of course its pitfalls. Using those benefits to your advantage and avoiding those pitfalls will be an important part of where or not you succeed in working from home.

Building and maintaining a successful and profitable home business requires a lot of hard work, commitment and a willingness to never give up, but most importantly, it requires a laser like focus. By implementing these tips you can ensure your home business is on the right track to becoming and staying a profitable and successful business you can rely on.

Juggling Self-employment and Family Demands

There is something incredibly special about being able to work from home. There’s a sense of freedom – a sense of flexibility. At the end of the day, though, those of us who really do work from home know that freedom and flexibility can only occur if our schedules reflect just a little bit of structure. The hardest part about quitting my full-time job to become a full-time freelance writer was helping my friends and family members understand what it really means to work from home. Until that point, the only people I knew who “worked from home” were people who had office jobs and got to telecommute a couple of days per week – an altogether different animal.

Self-employed vs. Unemployed

Not long after I quit my full-time job, the phone calls started rolling in. Can you take your grandmother to the doctors? I need you to stop by the house and let the dog out for me. Do you want to go on a bus trip with us on Thursday? Can you pick your cousin up from school? All of the sudden, I was viewed as “available.” My family and friends didn’t think of me as self-employed. They knew nothing of working from home, looking for private clients, or setting their own schedules. They had a complete lack of regard and respect for my time and my work. They thought I didn’t work. They treated me like I was completely unemployed.

Making People Understand

This is where things get difficult for a lot of people who are self-employed. It doesn’t matter if you’re a writer, a graphic designer, an internet marketer, or in some other sort of business. Your biggest hurdle will involve making those around you understand your need for structure.

What does this mean?

It means not making yourself available to others 24/7. Set “office hours” for yourself and stick to them as much as possible. You obviously own the flexibility to change those hours as you see fit, but you’ll not only provide yourself with a little bit of structure but will help to draw boundaries that others aren’t welcome to cross. It will be a lot harder for your mother to call and ask you to run to the store if you don’t answer personal calls before noon; or if your friends know you are only free to go out to eat on Fridays.

It means learning to say no. It’s a tiny word with a lot of power, and you have the right to use it. Your lack of formal employment in the corporate world does not mean you have the time to run around and do things for others all day long. What many of my own family members and friends did not understand at first was that I no longer have paid vacation time or personal days. I have to plan the days or hours I take off because if I am not working, I will not get paid. Period. End of story.

It means you need to be patient. It is going to take time for those who love you to gain a firm understanding of what you do. Be calm and respectful and explain your new work situation as clearly as you can. Be consistent with your boundaries and with the times you say “no” to certain requests. Before long, those around you will start treating you as they would if you were working a regular 9-5 office job.

As a self-employed professional you have the obligation to put yourself first at all times. Your success – personal and financial – rests on your ability to get your work done daily. There will be an adjustment period and you may feel a bit overwhelmed at times but before long you will have a stable routine you can stray from occasionally if you really need.

Recently, with the widespread use of the internet, every business has made a web presence and therefore it is necessary for each business to maintain the right internet marketing efforts so that there is no harm in the amount of traffic that is being generated to the website. Though there are many home-based businesses that are being operated online, thy too need to maintain a web space that can easily boost their visibility. Whether it is a home-based business or a small business organization, internet marketing has its own benefits for each section of the business. Have a look at the main strategies of internet marketing and how it may help a particular business in augmenting the profits. 

Making an online research: Before you set up a business on your own, that too on the internet, you must make a comprehensive research about some particular things. As there is a tough competition in almost every field, you need to stay afloat by maintaining the right amount of internet marketing efforts. You have to assess the ins and outs of your competitors and check the products that they’re marketing and also their strengths and weaknesses. If you’re marketing some home-based product, you must initially know about the ways in which they’re marketing their products.

Careful analysis of data: If you’ve performed a thorough research online, you need to make a systematic search online. Make a complete search of the weaknesses of the competitors to check whether or not you have more than your competitors or less. You can work on all your weaknesses so that you may be able to boost your monthly income resources through the online venture.

Develop a particular strategy: As soon as you’re done with examining the strength and weaknesses of your competitors, you can easily start developing a particular strategy that will involve a little bit of planning. Check the marketing methods that you can afford according to the budget. You must always prioritize the web marketing tactics and find out what is going to bring back the positive ROI.

Monitoring performance in the market: When you have the right internet marketing plan, you must start monitoring the performance of your company in contrast with that of the other companies in the market. Check and see which keywords could bring the highest number of visitors and try to capitalize on them to boost your returns.

In other words, if you have your own home-based business or a home business blog, make sure you employ the right amount of internet marketing efforts so as to get best returns. Internet marketing is very important for a particular website and make sure you follow the steps mentioned above in order to get the desired returns.

Happy New Year 2011!! Here’s wishing everyone the best in your Internet Marketing and other online business opportunities lots of success. Beware long article!

Today Dec 31, 2010 is definitely a good day as it marked the day I launched my first Authority website. Yep, finally after a month of deliberating and doing some research as to how I should do this, I bought the necessary tools and blueprint, and I have today published my website and 4 “authority” pages.

The tools I used for Authority Website:

1. Xfactor’s ‘The Authority Site Adsense Guide’
2. Dr Andy Williams’ Web Content Studio

Part II of my Adsense journey Begins

For those of you who remembered about 15 months ago I started my adsense journey and bought myself the now famous Micro Niche Adsense Course from XFactor as well as XsitePro, a powerful web building software and launched more than 20 niche sites during this time.

Well guess what…looks like history is about to repeat itself. Part II of my adsense journey begins officially today and I’m turning 3 of these niche sites into authority websites as well as adding a brand new health niche authority website. I’m still following XFactor (John)’s method only this time he just released his latest blueprint for ‘Advanced Adsense Publisher Guide to Making More Money With less sites‘. That’s perfect for me as I’ve recently stopped adding more niche sites and a few months ago already had thoughts of making a few of my sites to authority sites. I guessed John must have read my mind.

Why Authority Websites?

I’ll be perfectly honest with you. For a long time I was living under a misconception of what an authority website really is and who is fit to create one. I once thought that only the “big guns” or the more established marketers should be the ones since they already have the “authority tag” accorded to them. Not quite really as I found out recently.

Now I know an authority website need not be another CNN or Yahoo News nor must it be the most beautifully designed site. In short you and I could well launch an authority website within the next 1 week – if we wanted to that is. I’ve experienced some success in building niche sites and now building a few authority sites is just putting that icing on the cake. I called it a natural progression. It’s also called focusing on the long term, creating passive income and generally working towards making more money online only this time using few sites

Some Information about XFactor’s Authority Site Adsense Guide

It would be impossible to give a meaningful review of this advanced adsense blueprint without giving away all his techniques and that would be unethical so I won’t even go near there. So if whatever little information I could share with you may seem somewhat hard to comprehend, please excuse me and you would know why this is so.

It’s a very comprehensive book and John goes into great length to make his 217 pages book so easy to understand. It’s not an extension of his earlier book which I bought 15 months ago; it’s his second book. There are many tips that he gave but to me the most important thing I learned from him was how he makes creating authority websites so simple.He made it look simple because he teaches how to theme our articles as a part of his technique. He uses Web Content Studio to help find all the theme words for any articles we plan to write, articles that Google loves.

If you do not know what “theming an article is”, think LSI and long tail keywords to give you an idea. It’s also about how it will get you lots of traffic even if the keywords are highly competitive. So if you’ve been trained to believe you should only do keyword research and focusing on choosing keywords that have more traffic and less competition, that’s old school and a lot more difficult to do, I might add since everyone does that. With theming, it’s about less traffic as far as all the keyword tools tell you, insane competition but you still get lots of traffic all the same. It sounds a little hard to understand but the ebook will go into every great detail. It’s worth the $39 I paid for (first timer to his course pays $97).

I have just learned the proper way of ”siloing” my sites and that is not only good site structure for easy navigation on your site by your visitors, I’ve learned long ago it’s good for SEO too. Well that’s just a small part of what his Adsense Guilde teaches, the same techniques he uses to now make over $1000 per day.

How I Use Web Content Studio To Write Articles For My Authority Sites

This strategy is simple yet very powerful. When I first read about it, naturally I was simply amazed at this technique. I was hoping I could save some money not buying the tool and tried to do the work manually. The result – it’s too tedious and time consuming and at the end left me frustrated because I couldn’t check how well or badly I had done the “theming” process myself. And I can’t possibly do this for every article that I write. Well enter Dr Andy Williams’ Web Content Studio that cuts down 3 hours of research work to a mere few minutes. I relented, paid for this tool and now think this is the best tool I’ve ever come across.

With theme keywords strategy,I write my article relatively long – about 1000 words but with this tool, it’s really quite easy but you just follow a “process”.

What is Web Content Studio?

It contains a set of tools in a suite all under one big software application. This explains the name “studio” and all the tools are located on conveniently placed tabs that you can click to easily go to. So you have a scratchpad that has an auto “grabber” feature that copies whatever research work you choose from any website that you conveniently placed in your “bookmarks”, another tab in this software suite. Other tabs include ‘Editor”, ‘Researcher’, ‘Keywords’ and ‘Notes’.

These tools are cleverly thought of by Dr Andy Williams to help you research the keywords that Google expect from authority sites whenever you write your contents. So if you are planning to write an article on say “affiliate marketing”, this tool will query Google  for the phrase “affiliate marketing”, and visit all the relevant pages listed at the top 10 (you select how many) sites and extract for you all the theme words like “affiliate”, “network”, “advertising”, “commission:, “merchant” and theme phrases like “contextual advertising”, “revenue sharing”, “cost per action”, “compensation methods” used by these top 10 sites Google ranked.

Once you have these keywords presented in a report (again all shown in this “Studio”) the objective is to write your article (Editor tab) that includes all these theme words and theme phrases. How many and what words you used are really up to you (you just put a ’tick’ on these words) but in the manual that comes with your purchase of Web Content Studio, Andy explains and provides suggestions based on not just his theory but showing you his real live cases and the results achieved. The result is that you will learn just what it takes to write your best article with these theme words and phrases that Google expects to see.

Here is a quick summary of the process flow when I write each of my well themed articles (in WCS):

1. Create a blank article page
2. Do keyword research.
3. Clean the list using the compare against top 10 so you only get the most popular words in your final list of theme words.
4. Write your article.
5. Check theme of article.

There are quite a few videos that Andy provides to make you understand completely how to do it but I’ll just let you see one video on using the keyword spider to find the most important theme words:

tutorials/web-content-studio-
tutorial-keyword-spider/

Is Web Content Studio for you?

I guess only you will have the answer. For me, because I write articles everyday either researching for my clients when writing their articles or I write for my top niche sites especially the 3 sites that I decided to make them authority sites. This software is saving me lots of tedious time in my article research. The best part of using this tool for me is that I actually look forward to the next article that I write. I have to say both this and writing 1000 word articles 2 weeks ago would have been an insane thought.

My Secret Tool Revealed-Adsense Crusher Template

Actually  I had wanted to reveal this “secret” i.e the WordPress template I have been using, in my last Adsense update “Google Adsense-Here’s How You Can Achieve 70 pct Increase Too“. But I couldn’t do so because Gabriel the WP template creator had not set up the affiliate program then. Well the good news is that he just did and here is the Adsense Crusher WordPress template (this is an affiliate link) that helped me so much to reach my previous target and will continue to help achieve my next target of $1000 per month.

What you can expect when you used the Slick Crusher WP Template

1. It’s specially created to get you exceptionally high CTR  to maximize Adsense earnings. The theme is the main ingredient for having a high CTR.

2. It’s SEO optmized

3. If there is anything you need to modify the theme, Gabriel does that for you too at your request, free! So you’re not just buying a theme but a lifelong service.

4. It allows you one set of images for all your posts or you can set up different images for any post you want and have default images for all the rest. You’ll be taught how simple it is to do this. (for me I put on every post 4 115X115 pictures at the top with keywords in the image alt text)

5. In Theme admin, you can select to show excerpts not the full posts in homepage and category pages

6. The color scheme is easily customizable in the theme admin.

7. An adsense guide which covers the theme installation is provided for you to follow. WordPress is extremely easy to use even if you are just starting out and have never done it before. In the guide you are given Gabriel’s personal email if you run into problems setting everything up so don’t be afraid to use it. (I’ve used it and trust me he is there for you)

8. When you purchase you get 2 Ebook guides (SEO strategies and theme install walk-through) + Slick WordPress theme plus a bonus marketing software Gabriel built that you can use to ping a list of your pages to about 130 sites.

9. The Adsense crusher system comes with white hat marketing & backlink strategies all explained in the ebook.

10. Included in the course are 3 main traffic and backlink strategies. You will learn to deconstruct effectively what your competitors have done right; how Gabriel uses web 2.0 properties to increase Google love and increase traffic etc

A Peek At The High CTR WP-Theme

** If you are serious about purchasing, email me and I can provide you a real life blog with this theme.

My Thoughts

If you are searching for a magic pill or a quick “put money in my bank tomorrow” kind of method in adsense, this isn’t the one for you.  This is just a tool that has been developed, tested to give you very high CTR, one of 2 things that will increase your adsense income, the other being traffic.

You will still have to bring in the traffic yourself though so you will have to think about the quality of your contents on your blog and the backlinking strategies you currently follow.

How fast you can get to a $20 dollar or $50 day depends very much on your own effort and time but this Adsense Crusher system and WP Theme can help you expedite this time.

A friend of mine, about to get married sent a joke to me entitled “Desperately seeking technical support” totaling 8 Issues. It talked about losing his bachelorhood, girlfriends issues, past relationships. I thought for a moment if they could relate to the challenges of our home internet business in which we always seek answers too. I decided to take up this challenge. Here is his joke (in blue) and my answers (in black)

8 Top Internet Marketing Tips For Your Home Internet Business

Internet MarketingTip #1- Get a Good Web Host

If you are running an Internet Marketing website and have recently changed to another hosting account like Hostgator from your existing account like Hos4Profit, the very first thing you will experience is that after setting up your site on HostGator, neither FireFox or Chrome worked on either of their editors and may just have to contend with using the much hated Internet Explorer. If you are still adamant about changing to Hostgator, you should keep both hosting accounts for the time being. Then when you are satisfied with the performance of Hostgator, then cancel Host4Profit. A note of caution, before shutting down Host4Profit make sure you have completed the files transfer to your new host or you will lose your online marketing website completely. That’s even worse than a system crash!

While the merits of changing hosts maybe justified, do remember to make relative comparisons and not just because one host charges $25 while another $7.95 per month. There is a “limit” to the number of domains a server can handle. Do you know that Host4Profit put no more than 250 accounts (full or multiple) on a server? HostGator I heard put thousands of accounts on a single server in order to off set the costs. Personally I think having thousands of clients on a single server may well lead to slower processing.

Internet Marketing Tip #2 – Choose Good Affiliate Programs

There are just too many affiliate programs out there that allow you to pick the most suitable one to promote. It is important to find one that is of good quality product, which ultimately pays good commission, with a good refund policy. Our recommendation is to choose affiliate programs which are relevant to each other so that the customer may eventually buy more than one product from you on your same website. Many new internet marketers make the mistake of choosing the wrong affiliate program or those that do not compliment one another. Another mistake that some bloggers make is they expect instant commission from affiliate programs to the extent of hopping from one affiliate program to another to find the best performance. You really need to first understand how the affiliate program works, the market conditions and demand for this product to have a good chance of making money from affiliate programs.

Internet Marketing Tip #3-Good Make Money Online Tip

Well after many months of not making money on the new affiliate product that I bought, I checked with my forum buddies as to what may be the reason for the poor sales conversion. After a few rounds of discussion, I eventually found what may be the cause of my problem. The issue was not the affiliate product but the way I promoted it. I had made the mistake of doing cold sale that is pushing too hard on this new product. As soon as I stopped all my aggressive online promotions, I had a sale.

Internet Marketing Tip #4-Avoid Too Good To Be True Schemes

I came across what sounded like a good affiliate program that requires me to pay only $1.00 upfront fee to join. Sounds really good I thought. After one month I had a shock when I realized that my credit card was billed $50.00 by this affiliate company. I found out that this was due to my not reading the fine prints when I joined the affiliate program. If I had, I would have realized that it’s $1.00 for a month long trial period and subsequent months the company will charge me $50.00 unless I opted out. After many exchanges of email with this affiliate company I got my money back. The lesson I learned: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. I then found one excellent free affiliate program called SFI Marketing Group and before long upgraded to Executive Affiliate status.

Internet Marketing Tip #5- Always Back-up Files

I found out about one good threaded comment plugin called Brian’s Threaded Comments Plugin. As threaded comments feature is good at attracting more comments on your blog, I installed it on my blog. Somehow during the installation process, something went completely wrong and that fateful night I made history by having hacked my own blog. Host4Profit recovered my blog within 4 hours, giving their top service something for me to rave about. Well naturally, once bitten and twice shy I had this plugin removed and subsequently found and installed Disquos which also had the threaded comment feature.

Internet Marketing Tip #6-User FireFox Internet Browser

Between Internet Explorer and Firefox, which do you prefer? For me and for most of my friends, it’s Firefox of course. From my experience I’ve found that internet Explorer does not welcome many changes that I make on my blog. For me particularly I’m constantly having problems with loading image files on my sidebar. They somehow break the sidebar too often. I’ve learned to reduce such changes to a minimum to avoid wasting time on fixing such problems in Internet Explorer.

Internet Marketing Tip #7-Google Adsense Alternative

A year ago I had my Google Adsense account suspended by Google just barely after 2 months. The brief reason given as ‘your account prove a risk to other users’ without offering a better explanation or suggesting what ways I should take to eradicate the risk to users, totally frustrated me till this day. Well just one month ago I found an alternative to Google Adsense. I joined as a free member but after one day when I learned that a paid member stands to earn more affiliate commission, I upgraded my CBadPro account to a paid account. That was a good decision as I’ve since had a few sales as well as paid affiliate members who have joined under me.

Internet Marketing Tip #8-Beware The Google Ban

I’ve always followed the Google Webmaster Guidelines all the time and applying only white hat SEO as apposed to Black Hat SEO. You definitely don’t want to get the Google Ban and lose page rank, Serps and everything that you’ve worked so hard for. You really don’t think you’ll get away with trying to game the system and trying to achieve results too fast too soon do you?

Work At Home Business-The Awful Truth

Let’s face it. There are still too many people who believe that online business opportunities are quick ways to start a home business. But the reality is that 95 percent of new online business owners fail to maintain their businesses, let alone make money. I suspect with the current world recession with more people losing jobs, having a wrong purpose and focus, this rate may get even higher.

Is Making Money Online Tough?

You bet it is. Don’t believe what you hear or read that making money is easy. It never is nor will it get any easier in the future. But what about those who found success who made up the 5 percent cohort? Well that’s easy – simply put they found a proven system that works and a vehicle or platform to drive their business – a successful website.

What Skills are needed to Make Money Online?

1. Your journey to the Internet Marketing world can be full of surprises when you are new at it. It’s important to follow a marketing plan and stay on course whenever you encounter setbacks.

3. Learn to identify trend settings and changes and be prepared to change your business strategy when it’s needed.

4. Have a clear objective of your business goals. Working smart is better than working hard if you want to generate multiple streams of income for your online business.

Choosing An Honest Proven Home Business

Some of the key elements of a successful online business opportunities are:

• a focused market – the more focus, the better
• a product people in the market are hungry for
• a good marketing strategy – to put your product in front of prospective buyers
• attract high quality targeted traffic to your site

Do You Really Need A Website

While it’s still possible to start a home business without a website, it’s definitely more convenient to have one. With such keen competition around you, having a web presence inevitably helps to expedite your business growth and expand your market significantly.

With a website, you also make yourself available to your customers in other time zones across the globe, not just your local geographical area. Advertising campaigns are now done cheaper and more effectively and gone are the days of using cumbersome and costly mailing lists. It has even spawn newer technologies like web 2.0. So keeping abreast of web technology changes is vital if you want to reap whatever potential benefits they bring to your website.

There are people who have built successful website businesses with little or no previous internet skills. So  Although there are no special qualifications like Internet Marketing or website design to start out an online business opportunity, it is important to find one that works. Check out this Honest-HomeBusiness.com which looks promising and teaches you “how to build a successful website business that really earns money even as a complete beginner“.

If you are using Twitter for your work from home business, you probably belong to 2 categories of bloggers. The first one opens up to many people following others as they follow you and tweet just about anything under the sun. The second group using Twitter is involved for a shorter time but use it for Internet Home Business Networking and not social purposes. Whichever group you belong to, how about learning a neat trick to use on your Twitter account?

The Basics:

What is Twitter

OK, let’s get it started, but just before that and so as to make some sense of what Twitter is all about for those not in the know, you should read up the following so as to get yourself up to speed:

How To Use Twitter-Tips for Bloggers

The Intermediate:

Tweet My Blog Plugin

This page tells you everything you need to know about this excellent plugin and can be summarized as:

• Combine the power of Twitter and WordPress to create viral traffic to your blog
• Automate your new blog posts to update your Twitter page
• Grow your home business blog traffic exponentially
• Generate an Income Stream-link contains your unique affiliate ID

Read up a post ‘I’ve Just Added The Tweet My Blog Plugin‘ from my good friend Sire of WassupBlog.

The Advanced:

A Neat Trick for home business blog

For those of you who are not yet following me on Twitter you can easily do so by clicking this link, and for other bloggers who for any reasons have yet to join, where have you been this is a good time as any to do so as Twitter is a great way to let your followers know what you are doing besides getting more traffic to your blog.

Here’s the deal. Your Twitter plugin allows configuration to a maximum of 20 tweets. You could use it to start a “sidenotes” section at your sidebar along with the twitter feed text. I’ve made a screenshot of mine so you can have an idea. Simply go to your Twitter page and type your text and it will automatically show on your blog sidebar. It’s that simple. Doesn’t this make Twitter more interesting?

What to put on your sidenotes:

• your blog posts that are not so visible to your readers e.g. those you liked but didn’t make it to your popular posts.

• blog promotions, special offers, seasonal ads, contests

• news headlines

• your rants, any digression

• your shameless advertisements

• Compelling titles like ‘How To Earn a Six Figure Income from Blogging in 2 Easy Steps‘

Tip: Make your text as short as possible using TinyUrl. This way it stands out and looks more appealing while not interfering with your blog theme’s codes.
