If any of you have not got a Linkedin.com account. I strongly urge you to get one. I have made a lot of great contacts threw there. It is a really great way to do business too. I came across this article here that shows you how to use linked in effectively when it comes to making Sales please check it out!! Click Here.

There are so many get rich quick blogs out there you know the “for a limited tie offer” “only five more spots available”…. hey i ain’t knocking them, they have fond away to get rich quick. sadly to say the people who buy them just need a little more direction and explanation on alot of the stuff that is covered in the “e-book, or seminar. you usually pay for the first e-book, then they say to understand more fully please get this upgrade etc. WOW…I don’t think that is right. If some one says they will reveal all the things that they say they will provide you with, i think they should provide you with it. I think they do this for a few reasons one is they just don’t really know the information that they claim too, or too they just want to rip you off. That’s not cool. There are a lot of legit sites out there that want to help people out. like this site for example. hehe… and another great site I have recently found is johnchow.com No i am not an affiliate of his, I would like to be..but When i find something really good on the Internet I like to share it with the little audience that I do have. if you sign up for his newsletter he tells yo straight up what his agenda is and How you can benefit from starting a blog. Now a blog is not the only way you can make money online. And John Chow says that it shouldn’t be the only reason to blog. He says you should find something that you are passionate about and start to blog about it, then you should have enough content to blog and update your blog on a regular basis. I think that that is so true. I really need to find time during my day, and schedule it in. Don’t be fooled, those get rich blogs if you follow their pattern and do what they are doing then no doubt you can get rich quick too. I think it’s great to have a cause and a great motive behind it. Find your passion in life and if you want to..then start blogging about it.

One great thing about being able to work anywhere and run your own business is that you can find things on the world wide web that most people don’t have the time for. Lately i have been spending alot of time on Mixergy.com (brilliant) and thenetsetter.com(absolutely brilliant) and Here are some encouraging words from Collin Taeed of the netsetter.com.
If you have time you should go here and read or listen to the great insight that of the vast resources that they have. Mixergy.com is kind of how i view this site, quitterbox.com, but 10 times better!!!

In his fantastically readable book “Outliers – the Story of Success“, Malcolm Gladwell illustrates how there have been ideal times to be working in particular industries. He shows that programmers like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were not just brilliant entrepreneurs, but that importantly they took advantage of being around at a particular time with a particular set of skills and opportunities.

Now I’m no Gates or Jobs, but I do know that this is a golden period for the web. These are the years that our future selves will look back at and say “Boy that was an exciting time online!” There are simply so many opportunities for people with the skills to create great products. The barriers to entry are exceedingly low allowing developers, designers, bloggers, and all manner of people with particular enthusiasm, skill and drive to build successful businesses online.

But it won’t last. Over time the more obvious opportunities slowly dry up and the barriers rise. To get in on the action you have to be increasingly advanced, well funded and creative.

I would argue that the web right now however is still wide open. Just look at how Twitter has come out of left field to become a massive internet phenomena in just three short years. There are still many, many untapped opportunities.

So I’ll end this post to say that if you’ve wondered whether you should make a go of a particular idea you have, I say yes! If you’re going to go for it, go for it now! Sure we won’t all be Twitters or Facebooks, but that doesn’t mean we can’t build some neat little startups, grow sustainable businesses and live to tell the tale of how we helped build the internet in the heady days of 2009!

(Thanks to thenetsetter.com for the words of wisdom!!)

I totally agree with what Collin is saying here, the time is now, don’t delay, you have to strike the iron while it’s hot. I encourage all of you reading this blog to start something, you don’t have to make it perfect the first time round you can keep working on it till you get it right!! don’t give and don’t despair. thanks for reading

hen the subject of how to Earn Residual Income From Home comes up, most people get it all wrong. The problem is there are a lot of Internet Marketing courses that have been coming out lately that over complicate things too much. So lets break things down a bit so even the freshest of newbies can get started. Anyone can Earn Residual Income From Home Blogging but you need to be aware of the proper steps to get there.

The first thing you need to do is you need to eliminate your initial confusion by deciding what you want to blog about. Believe it or not most people don’t even get this far. What are you good at? And is your Blogging topic commercially viable? There’s a simple test to figure this out. Search for what you want to blog about on Google. If at least 4 adsense ads pop up you can Earn Residual Income From Home Blogging about this subject. Plain and simple.

The next thing you want to do is to get a domain name. This should cost you less than $10.00. Some will say to get your domain based on some keyword you want to rank for. I can’t really say I agree with this, unless the domain name also makes sense to a searcher. The most important thing when choosing a domain name is to choose one that will brand your purpose well once your blog eventually becomes an Authority Blog.

Now you need to go out and find Low Cost Website Hosting. You can build an Authority Blog that will earn you a consistent Residual Income From Home for less than $10.00 per month.

Next you need to choose a Blog Theme that makes sense. We use Carl Ocab’s Ultimate Blogging Theme for $67.00 and we really love it. We make about $1200 per month on our MLM Authority Site with it. Not bad return for a $67.00 investment. This website gets 800 or more unique visitors per day now.

So once you have your Domain Name, Blogging Theme and Hosting you will need to make sure you have the proper Wordpress Plugins installed. Here are a list of the ones we use. Don’t worry, these are all free.

* Add Twitter
* Akismet
* All in One SEO Pack
* CommentLuv
* Facebook Dashboard Widget
* Google Analytics For Wordpress
* Google XML Sitemaps
* ILWP Simple Link Cloaker
* KeywordLuv
* ShareThis
* Facebook Status Updater
* Top Commentators Widget
* Tweet This
* Twitter Tools
* UBD Ad Block Plugin

Once these free Wordpress Plugins are installed, you are now ready to start to build on your blog and Earn Residual Income From Home. I’m going to give you the formula, and this formula will be free and very simple.

What you want to do is write 1-3 500 word articles each day. You want these articles you write to include the targeted keyword you are going for once in the title, 1-2 times in the description and about once per paragraph in the article, but go a bit light on this. For example if you have a 700 word article you might insert the keyword 5 times verses 7 times. Swipe a nice free clipart image off the Internet relating to the blog post you are making. Posts look 500% better with images and even related videos.

Then you will submit each post you just put on your blog to all the top article directories. Here they are:

* Ezine Articles
* Idea Marketers
* Buzzle
* Article Snatch
* Article Dashboard
* Articles Base
* Articles Factory
* Hubpages

This is so simple but so effective it’s almost unreal. But this is my program I’ve been doing for the last 4 months. It took us from 400-800 visitors per day in just 90 days. And I don’t ever pay anything for my traffic. I think in the next 3-6 months of submitting content at this rate our website will really be at over 1000 hits per day.

The key to making this work is consistency, and I can not emphasize this enough. Do not get side tracked on the latest get rich quick plot. Do your Blogging, get off the computer for a while and get balance in your life. The Blogging Game is a marathon not a sprint. Remember, people like Yaro Starak, Carl Ocab, Rob Benwell, Alvin Phang and Darren Rowse have been blogging for years.

And the cool thing is someday you can be like them, but you have to get started. I’ve just given you the entire formula to do this. If you decide to take action, a year from now you’ll be laughing when you check your Google Analytics account and see how many places you are getting traffic from. Trust me on this. And the momentum will never stop until you stop Blogging. This is how you Earn Residual Income From Home.

well it’s been a while since i posted anything, but i am back. I wanted to take the time and just say that the best way to make money online is just to dive right in and start something. don’t wait to long until you think you have the perfect idea. Perfect ideas come from learning the ropes. I had a friend ask me just the other day, “do you know what digg.com is” I was like of course, See my friend has been wanting to start a blog and he is a very very smart individual, and has programming background, which i am totally Jealous about, but he didn’t realize what he had till I told him to just start surfing the internet.

some people have these great ideas and boom!! they can make alot of money from it, other people see something that already exists and then improves it. I mean take facebook for example. I am not sre if it was the first social networking site out there, i know there was myspace.com, friendster.com multiply.com and many more, but Mark Zuckerberg the founder and creator of this site just amazes me by making facebook a huge deal better and safer to use than other sites like it. I mean everyone and their dog has a facebook account, my mom, my dad, i mean everyone.

Another great thing to do to be able to make money online is make multiple sites and offer different products. experiment and see what you can do, or what attracts the most customers or visitors to your sites. take now 15 year old Carl Ocab from the Philippines and his blog carlocab.com this is just incredible, he started when he was thirteen, and he tried a tech blog a gossip blog and then a make money online blog, he didn’t have too much success he says with the first two ideas, but he is now ranked number on on the google search engine for “make money online”. Believe me he is well paid for his knowledge and experience in the blogging game.

Third way to be successful as a blogger is to have fun with it. learn the back end. when i first started playing around with blogs and websites i knew nothing about them, now I am really having fun creating websites for other people and helping them with their blogs too. I love wordpress.com, it is fun and easy, and they offer so many great services for free. some things people don’t realize is that once you have hosting with certain hosting companies you can host as many websites or blogs as you can. some hosting companies limit this, but my hosting company that i love bluehost.com, lets me host as many sites as i want, it cost me $6.95 a month and for ever additional site I put up it cost me 10$ for the name for a year. but a great thing is the first domain name that i get with a years worth of hosting is free. (and they are not even paying me to endorse them, they can if they want too…) i will look into their affiliate marketing plan after this.

anyways all i can say is find something that you are passinate about and blog about it. i mean has anyone seen icanhascheezburger.com check it out, i love this site!!! and the cool thing about this is these guys where full time bloggers, their site was receiving as many as 1,500,000 hits per day and still is and according to TIME Magazine, the website was acquired by a group of investors in September 2007 for US $2 million. Crazy!!! can you believe it. check it out!! gotta love it.

good luck!! you can do it!!!

Creating a business identity is an essential task to open your doors for business, or “hang out your shingle”, if you prefer. Here’s an orderly and logical sequence of steps you can take to get your home business up and running by creating its identity.

Before You Establish Your Business Identity

These steps will help you get the doors of your home business open. However, before you reach this point, you need to have already:

* Brainstormed your business, have a clear idea of what you will be doing and who your customers are.
* Completed at least an informal or preliminary business plan or a well-thought-out business plan outline.
* Considered the benefits and disadvantages of the available legal forms your business entity could operate under and selected the form of business that is best for you – at least initially: sole proprietorship; partnership;limited liability corporation (LLC); C Corporation; or S Corporation. Most home business entrepreneurs start out as a sole proprietorship, but you need to know what the risks are before you do so.
* Checked any legal requirements or zoning restrictions against operating the home business you want to start in your homeowners’ association (if you belong to one), your city or town and your state.

Getting Your Business Identity Established

Once you’ve done your homework and you’re ready to get your home business started, here are 8 steps you can follow and use as a checklist to establish an identity for your home business:

1. Brainstorming Your Business Name and Tagline
Brainstorm Your Business Name and Tagline
Your business name and its tagline can create excitement and buzz for your home business and will be an important part of your later marketing efforts.
2. Establishing an Address and Phone Numbers for Your Home Business
Completing this step early means that your home address and phone number won’t become public record when you do register your business.
3. Checking into an Employer ID Number with the IRS
Even if you’re not required to have an EIN, getting one is often a good idea. For one thing, it makes it easier to open a bank account in your business name and it will help keep your social security number private.
4. Opening a Business Bank Account
Part of having a business identity is to keep your business finances separate from your personal finances. There’s just no better way to do that than to open a business checking account.
5. Creating Your Business Logo
A good logo goes a long way in establishing your business identity. Your logo should reflect what your business does. It should be unique, eye-catching and easy to identify.
6. Ordering Your Business Cards
Since a business card is often your first impression on a prospect, you don’t want to jeopardize getting new business because you didn’t bother to have your business cards professionally printed.
7. Creating and Ordering Your Business Stationery
You can buy stationery or create it yourself. Again, you can use tools like Microsoft Publisher for this purpose, and plenty of design templates are provided to make creating custom stationery easy.
8. Establishing an Online Presence for Your Business
Websites serve as a useful form of inexpensive advertising for most businesses. Even the most basic of websites can work well as your online brochure. You may also decide to set up a blog for your home business – either in conjunction with, or instead of, a home business website.

Once You Have a Business Identity

Once you’ve completed these basic business identity steps, you will have effectively “hung out your shingle” for starting your home business.

You’re bound to make adjustments from time to time – that’s all part of having your own home business. But a big hurdle will have been cleared and you can begin making and spending money under your business name. In essence, you are giving your home business a “life of its own”.
