In the course of my home business coaching activities, I have often found that people head into the startup of their online home based businesses with a wildly unrealistic mindset. Many have been told that they can sign up for a few programs, build a website around them, add a bunch of banners and links onto their site, then sit back and watch the money roll in and never have to work again. There is a misconception that you can come online and...more
How to be successful with you home based business really depends on attitude, persistence and of course what your business offers. Lets start with attitude. Everyone starts out with this attitude that man I am going to succeed and be able to quit my full time job by next year! Well I am not going to say that cannot happen, but lets be realistic here. A home based business is just like any other business, the only difference is you are doing it...more
I know it is better to be positive than negative. But speaking from experience sometimes you can do things that are bad for your home business without realizing it. You might even think you are doing the right thing when in fact you are hurting your online business. So here are some "top 5" ways you can throw your work-from-home opportunity down the drain (and how to avoid doing so): 1) Have no plan, vision or goals. Sure, you may find success in your home business by accident. But you are more likely to keep your online business alive (and have it grow) by setting some direction. Besides, without a plan and destination how would you even know if you achieved success? Do some dreaming about what you would like your home based business to be in 2 years. Then set some attainable but challenging goals based on your vision. With your goals in mind, chart a plan for your home business. 2) Do nothing. "If you build it, they will come." Wrong - who told you that? One of the most frequent mistakes made by newcomers to online business is the belief that if they can just build a nice looking website then they will earn money. Of course some marketing ploys feed on that assumption, luring...more

I am determined to succeed at this internet thing, but I need help. I'm not going to spend money on this and waste it. Do you know where I can get a simple step by step FREE...more
Not everyone agrees there is a housing bubble which will have an impact on the entire economy, but how about one that has an impact on you? If your home was devalued, even temporarily, do you have the cash flow to sustain your credit or allow you to sell your home without getting into debt? In the US today, many people live in homes which have...more
I have proved that anyone can make money on the internet without having to spend a fortune. I have recently been introduced to the Plug in Profit Site. I bought the package, hooked, line, and sinker. I still cannot believe that I bought this package it is totally out of character for me. I hate to spend money. I figured that it takes money to make money right? So why not! *What it did cost me was 60 bucks to get my website up and running. What I did not realize was that the program (The 30 day course) wanted me to shell out big bucks to promote my money making website. Maybe if I would have spent the thousand dollars as suggested, I may have gotten my first customer allot sooner. I may even be making one thousand dollars a week by now But Im cheap I did not shell out the big bucks. What I did do was simple and pretty cheap, and pretty darn effective. I did the following 5 things. 1. I have written articles and submitted them. 2. I have submitted my URL to the search engines for free. 3. I have dropped a few lines in blogs, and forums with a link to my website 4. I have a few Google Adword ads posted. ( I used low cost keywords) 5. The easiest thing I do is add a SIG file to all my...more
