No one has ever logged onto the Internet for the
first time and started pocketing dollars in a
really short period of time. As with all things
in life, there is a learning curve.

SOME PERSONAL HISTORY

Just a few short years ago, I was a working stiff
just like you.

One day, I bought and read a book called
"Multiple Streams of Income" by bestselling
author, Robert Allen. Immediately, I began my
journey.

Every night after work and after my wife and
children went to sleep, I would get online and
explore different ways of using the Internet to
make money.

In the 2 years that followed, I spent over
$10,000.00 racking up credit card debt buying
eBooks, membership sites, special reports, opt-in
leads, and joining every "guru" recommended
business opportunity that flew into my email
inbox...

I stayed up learning, working and drinking coffee
until 5:00 in the morning month after month
filled with the hope of making money online.

In my 3rd year of working part-time to build an
home based income, I finally broke through and
earned over $100,000.00 in just 12 months from
the Internet.

BECOME THE MASTER OF YOUR LEARNING CURVE

Research the lives of all of the guru's. The one
thing that you will learn is that my own
experience is not unique. Most of the high
earners on the Internet experienced a learning
curve very similar to my own.

Chances are that your curve will also be similar
to mine, but it is my hope that you can get to
the top faster than even I did. Three years was a
long time to struggle, but every ounce of
struggle was worth the reward I have finally
received.

In order to shorten your own learning curve, you
must do a few things differently than the rest of
us did. You must become themaster of your
learning curve.

THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS A
STRAIGHT LINE

There is only one way to shorten the curve on the
Internet, "you must plan to succeed."

Here is the deal. Most people put up a freebie
website and select a few affiliate programs to
add to their website. Right out of the gate, most
people are running for the finish line without
any real plan in mind.

After a few short weeks, people begin to see the
writing on the wall that says, "This is going to
be a long hard road."

People check their hit counters daily for six
weeks before they realize that getting traffic to
their free site is going to be tough.

At this point, they begin developing their first
batch of advertising. Then they spend countless
months finding places to show their
advertisements for free. Some make an even more
drastic mistake by blowing thousands of hard
earned dollars on their new and untested ads.

These are the people who will learn the facts of
life the hard way.

In time, they will learn how to make their
advertising work for them. But most will earn
very little money from their affiliate programs.

At this point in the learning curve, most people
throw up their hands and walk away from their
dreams in utter disgust. Instead of a walking
away point, this should have convinced the
struggling online entrepreneur that they were
simply traveling the wrong road.

YOU MUST PLAN TO SUCCEED

From day one, you must begin to learn about the
nuances of web promotion. Read everything you can
get your hands on. Don't just read the hype, back
it up with the opinions of others who have
reviewed the same programs before you came along.
Learn from their mistakes and successes.

As you begin to learn, you must also look to make
a decision. Do you want to step into a pre-built
program that is designed to help you to succeed,
OR do you want to create a completely new program
of which you are the sole owner?

If you decide to step into a pre-designed and
complete turn-key online money making venture,
then you must select the right venture to step
into. If this is your decision, then please
examine my program along with the others. You can
review my Plug In Profit Site program at:
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-311

If you decide to go the journey on your own, then
do all of the necessary research, planning and
preparation that is needed for your success.

PREPARE TO SUCCEED

Decide upon what you think you would want to do,
and then figure out how your planned site will
generate a real income.

Internet old-timers know about hundreds of
corporation domains that existed with IPO
millions, but did not have an actual money
plan that could sustain their business model.
Most of these companies were among the hundreds
of companies that bellied up in the 2000 dot bomb
experience.

Don't blindly believe in your plan. Research
others on the web who have undertaken similar
business models and see if they have survived.
Study your competitors in depth to learn what is
working for them and what did not work for them.
To better understand what has or has not worked
for competitor websites, check out their time
lapsed progressions using the Wayback Machine:
http://www.archive.org

Once you have determined your money plan, then
you should undertake the development of a
business plan and a marketing plan. Utilize
professional assistance if you need to do so.
While creating your plans, make a determination
as to which domain name you think would be best,
then use the domain name wizard at Host4Profit to
find the perfect domain for your business:
http://www.host4profit.com/cgi-bin/home.cgi?33829

Once you have developed your business plan and
marketing plan and have run them through several
revisions, then it will be time to buy your
domain name and to begin work with a site
designer and developer. You may need to have your
domain sitting on a web host for your site
developer, but this is not always necessary.
While they are doing their work, enlist a
copywriter to help you with your site sales copy.

When your site designer and developer have your
site working, you should then undertake
significant testing to make sure everything works
as planned. It is much harder to fix problems
on a operational site than it is to fix problems
on a site that is yet to be launched.

When testing is done, then you should fill in
your sales copy and then shoot for launch. Of
course, you already have a marketing plan in
place, so your preparation here will be simply
a matter of putting the pieces of the puzzle into
place.

You are finally ready to open for business. Don't
be afraid to spend the money to bring your dream
alive. Time can replace money in the goal of
starting a profitable online business, but money
invested can shave years off of your company's
growth.

Children in the Home Business Environment

Children in the Home Business Environment

http://www.24hourwealth.com

Operating a home business is seldom easy and
interruptions come in all shapes, sizes and forms.

Between the family, friends and neighbors who
call or come by, and the telemarketers who insist
on ringing your number off the hook, getting
through the workday can be a real challenge.

When you introduce children into the home office
environment, your productivity and patience can
be seriously tested.

For example, right now my three-year old daughter
is pulling on my shirt and begging me to read her
a story. Clearly, Im in the middle of something
important here, but how can I say no to those
eyes? I'll be right back...

Ok, that wasn't so bad was it? She's happy, Im
happy (having bonded with my daughter) and now
I'm back to continue my conversation with you! :-)

What's the lesson here? Flexibility is a major
key to balancing your home business priorities
with your family's needs.

I can tell you from first-hand experience that
maintaining a deep level of concentration on work
in a home business for long periods of time is
next to impossible. Naptime does offer some
reprieve, but any break from the kids is usually
short lived.

Even with older children, summertime introduces
new challenges with kids running in and out of
the house all throughout the day.

I would like to share with you some of the tips I
have discovered to help manage your home office
with children in your midst. Since children of
different ages pose different challenges, I will
present my tips in terms of age groups.

OLDER CHILDREN AND TEENS

We will look at older children first since they
pose the least challenge to our work productivity.

Children, who are old enough to understand the
idea of schedules and chores, are old enough to
understand the needs of your home business.
Explain to your children that you do your work at
home so that you can be near them when they need
you. But also be sure they understand that you
must do your work so that you will have the money
necessary to keep your house, feed the family and
to provide them with money for entertainment.

Once your children understand the necessity of
your work, then outline a work schedule and
explain it to them. Do make sure they understand
that emergencies are definitely an acceptable
reason to interrupt your work. Then make sure
they understand that between hours x and y, you
will be doing work --- and then hold them to
respecting your schedule.

INFANTS

Infants will never understand your needs for
work. But fortunately, babies do well under a
schedule or routine. Instead of expecting your
child to work around your schedule, schedule
your work around the needs of your baby.

It is simple. Babies eat, sleep and poop.
Sometimes they play. Fortunately, babies sleep
more than they do anything else.

Naptime offers the best advantage for getting
your work done. Get your baby into a routine of
eat, sleep and play, and you will experience
unexpected levels of productivity.

TODDLERS

If you have a toddler running around the house
while you are operating your home business, then
you may find that your hair turning gray or
disappearing altogether. But, gray hair is a
sign of character, right. ;-)

I am venturing to guess that the person who
devised the door lock for the inside of the house
did so because he had toddlers in his own home.
Inside door locks should only be utilized when
you are making that important phone call and your
toddler is screaming for your attention. At all
other times, your door should remain unlocked
with your door open.

Develop a routine with your children for meal
times, naptimes, and play times. Work these times
into your work schedule and adhere to them. If
you fail to keep appointments with your children,
your children will have less respect for your
work and do more to prevent you from the
completion of your work.

Don't be afraid to let your children sit in your
lap while you are working. It helps them to feel
wanted and it helps them to be a part of your
daily life. There are times when it is okay
for them to be sitting in your lap while you
work, and at other times you need them out of
your lap. Don't be afraid to tell them to get
down and go play or read a book so that you can
resume your work.

Permit your children to have their toys in your
office. Often they will sit contently and play
while you work. Just knowing you are near is
enough to keep them happy.

Be prepared to take an hourly break to deal with
your toddler. Try to do potty breaks at your
hourly break and to do drink refills. This can
help your child grow into a routine that will
work well with your home business. At each break,
spend a few minutes with your child giving hugs
and kisses and talking with your child about what
he or she wants to talk about.

Toddlers don't always do well with the routine,
so be prepared to take a few minutes when needed
to give the attention that your child so
desperately needs in the moment.

IN CONCLUSION

I hope these tips serve to help you in the
challenge of operating a successful home business.

My home business permits me to fulfill my
financial obligations *AND* see my children grow
up. I would never contemplate trading my home
business for another kind of business. Even with
the added challenges of dealing with toddlers in
my home office, the upsides far outweigh the
downsides.

Growing my own home business with children around
has definitely given me a new respect for all
people who successfully run a home business with
kids in the work environment. I tip my hat to
you... You deserve it!

Advertising Your Home Business on a Budget

Advertising Your Home Business on a Budget
Copyright © Jeff Casmer, The Wealth Guy

http://www.24hourwealth.com

When you are starting out in a new home business
and no one knows who you are, one of the greatest
challenges you will face is how to drum up new
business.

If there were not people in your community or
marketplace that you knew who needed your
products or services, you probably would not have
started your business to begin with. But, once
you have talked to those who you personally knew
who needed your what you offer, then your next
task is to find others who will help keep your
doors open.

Many people know that they must turn to
advertising at some point in the future, but they
hope that day will be long down the road. For
some, this utopian concept will come to fruition.
But for the rest of us in the real world, we must
come up with creative solutions for meeting our
home business advertising needs while working
within our budget.

Most people have a misconception about having to
spend lots of money in order to advertise their
home business. When you start out, you honestly
will not have much money available for
advertising, and if you do, you should still
spend it wisely.

Before you jump headfirst into the world of
advertising, let me share some of the lessons I
have learned concerning this most important topic.

LESSON #1

It does not have to cost an arm and a leg to
advertise your home business, unless you fail to
plan and fail to test.

As much as is possible, you should always test
your advertising. If you jump in and start
dumping tons of money in to advertising without
first testing your advertising, you might find
yourself broke and without sales at the end of
the road. Most people who commit this error write
off their failure on the home business they chose
or the economy or any of a hundred other excuses.
But, if they are unwilling to take responsibility
for their mistake, they will never learn from
their mistake. Don't let this be you.

LESSON #2

All testing should be done in blocks. If you
begin to advertise simultaneously in newspapers,
radio and television, how will you know which
advertising is bringing people to your cash
register? You won't. All you will know that
something might be working, but you will not know
what is actually doing the trick.

Even if you tell people in your advertising to
tell you how they found you, my experience shows
that fewer than 10% of the people ever will tell
you anything --- and those people who do may not
even get the facts straight! You cannot rely on
your customers to tell you what advertising is
working for your home business. You must put in
the extra effort to know for yourself.

LESSON #3

Only when you have a proven and solid advertising
portfolio should you venture to drop big bucks in
an advertising campaign. Even then, you should be
careful to keep further measurements to determine
how much the maximum advantage of an ad would be.
Sometimes you might be able to reach ten times as
many people, but depending on the kind of media
and other factors, the additional exposure will
only generate twice as many sales. Keep your eye
attuned to situations like this to get the most
from your advertising dollars.

LESSON #4

As Lesson #3 illustrates, sometimes your best
advertising investment may actually cost you less
money. When you are first starting out, whether
you are running a home business or a business
outside of your home, you need to be able to get
people talking and thinking about your business.

If you are busy testing ads in media's such as
the newspaper, magazines, radio, and television,
you need to learn ways of promoting your business
that do not require large cash expenditures. A
few examples are:

· Word of Mouth
· Business Cards
· Press Releases
· Non-Primetime Ads on Radio and Television

Here is more information about each type of
low-cost advertising:

WORD OF MOUTH

This of course is the cheapest kind of
advertising on the planet --- it does not cost
you anything. Ask your customers if they know
anyone who could also use your products or
services. When they are happy with your offerings
and service, they will be willing to tell you
whom you can contact, and they will pass the
word for you.

BUSINESS CARDS

You can usually pick up 500 business cards for
about $20. When you do, hand them out. Do not
give more than a couple of cards to each person.
If they need more cards from you, they will ask.

Some people are known to network with others on a
regular basis. Some of these people are also
known to be always looking for an extra few
bucks. With these people, you can suggest to them
that if they write their name on the back of one
of your business cards and the card is presented
to you, then you will pay a referral fee to them.
You do not have to offer much --- sometimes one
dollar is enough. Look at your home business and
your offerings and decide how much would be a
good referral fee.

PRESS RELEASES

Press Releases are a good source for generating
news about your home business. The business
editor at your local newspaper is always on the
lookout for a good business story to fill the
business news section of the newspaper.

Of course, the business editor understands the
economics of running a paper and is more inclined
to run your story if you buy advertising in
his/her publication, but will still print
stories for special events and openings.

The important thing to remember about Press
Releases is that it must be constructed in the
form of a news story. Even if you are a sole
proprietorship, quotes from you should be written
in a third person format: John Doe said, "Your
quote here."

A Press Release should pack the most important
information at the beginning of the copy, and
leave extra details towards the end.

You should always provide the reporter who gets
the task a simple and easy way for him/her to
contact you directly. Often the reporter will
want to contact you to get details that will
enhance their take on your story.

NON-PRIMETIME ADS ON RADIO AND TELEVISION

Believe it or not, some of the best rates for
radio and television are on the overnight and
non-primetime venues. These target times are not
a total waste as they can easily keep the
infomercial people in business.

These off-hours are just less populated than the
primetime hours.

Don't be afraid to check your local radio and
television rates for non-primetime hours to see
what bargains may exist. With television,
primetime is 7pm to 10pm. With radio, primetime is
8am to 5pm. This sure leaves a whole lot of hours
available to advertise your home business at
discount rates!

IN CONCLUSION

When it comes down to it, there is a lot to
understand about advertising, but when you have
the basic knowledge down pat, everything will
fall into place and bring more dollars to your
bank account.
