How to Start An Internet Based Home Business

Thought about starting an internet based home business? For many people owning a business is a dream that never becomes a reality. Being the boss, calling the shots, working when you want, making more money then the average employee are all great motivators but the lack of start up capital or a great idea usually stops the dream dead in its tracks. The internet however, has brought into play a new set of rules into the business world where ideas can be tried out very inexpensively to see if they will produce a profit and quickly changed if the business idea is faltering and producing a loss. This powerful median has created the ability for literally millions of ambitious, soon to be business owner entrepreneurs, the resources and opportunities necessary for building long lasting sustainable businesses.

Everyone is a beginner at sometime when starting an Internet based home business. Face it there is going to be a learning curve no matter who you are or how much experience you may have in the traditional business world. The most devastating thing you can do to yourself when starting out on the internet is to expect to much to soon and compare yourself to others. Everybody will have different results at so get over any kind of fast money ideas you may be having because they will only lead to frustration and disappointment.

Knowing where to start, how to start or what kind of business are some of the common obstacles standing in the way stopping many entrepreneurs from moving forward and building successful internet businesses. With so many opportunities available at our fingertips knowing exactly what to look for when starting an internet based home business will narrow the search and decision making process that will lead to a smooth operating profitable enterprise.

So let’s start doing some narrowing down. There are basically three types of business models that are used online. By online I am referring to a business that will be built and run completely online unlike a traditional business which might use the internet to gain additional customers.

The Affiliate model which is the most common is where you sell someone's products or services and they in turn pay you a commission for the sell. Most traditional stores are set up this way where the store carries a variety products by different manufactures. This type of business can be time consuming to get up and running because you will have to set up a website and learn how to promote the website so qualified customers can find your offer. To speed things up you will need to get some internet marketing training and this can be expensive.

Another type of business that has seen mayor growth because of the internet is top tier direct sales and network marketing. This type of business is much easier to get started and seeing a profit in a short time because usually these types of companies already have ready made websites and offer extensive company training on how to market the business. These companies are like a community where members help each other to build and grow profitable businesses. Here you learn from other people’s mistakes

The last type of business model which will be more difficult to get started requires you to have your own product. This type of business will require you to develop your own marketing plan and build websites which are very time consuming and expensive before a profit is seen. This is not for the beginner.

There are many different types of businesses models and opportunities out on the internet and most will fall into one of these categories. Decide which one will be the best place for you to start an internet based home business with your skill level and resources and take massive action.

Entrepreneurs Grabbing Hold Of Opportunity in The Home Business Industry

Is Becoming a work from home entrepreneur the only logical solution for survival? Its a choice millions are making to take control of their own financial destiny. Look what relying on others has created for all us.

The failed banking system, the auto industry plunging into bankruptcy, the real estate and housing market burning out like the left over embers of a once roaring infernal has led to the exponential influx of people flocking to the internet looking for answers to financial uncertainty. A new age has certainly emerged in the way business will be operated as more and more people make the decision to become entrepreneurs and move to the home front to carve out a new way of life.

Just as in previous down markets, Entrepreneurs with their never ending resilience and idealistic approach to business have lead the for front in turning what most people consider to be a catastrophic situation into an outstanding growth opportunity. Entrepreneurs, throughout modern history are responsible for having literally lifted nations out of the clutches of complete financial upheaval by thriving on the changes brought about by a struggling economy.

President Ronald Reagan realized the importance of entrepreneurs and the effects they have on the economy when he said "Entrepreneurs and their small business are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States."

Small business absolutely but a huge impact most definitely!

An industry that has found the failing economy a catalyst for massive growth lies in the field of education but not in a traditional classroom type atmosphere. The classroom is the free market, it is the daily hands on development and training of individuals in the market place to become productive successful entrepreneurs. The teachers, they are an elite group of individuals who have already climb the latter of success and are willing to give to others what they are so fortunate to have been given.

These trainers, mentors, teachers, have found the secrets to living a larger happier life lies not so much in the money as it does in changing the lives of others. They hold the skills necessary to teach soon to be successful entrepreneurs literally how to write their own paychecks with a improved mindset held stead fast on the premises of never relying on corporations and traditional business models, to sustain a quality lifestyle.

We all have felt the sting of what we were taught was the right thing to do. Look where this type of education has gotten most of us financially.

Entrepreneurs have brought to the table a new type of thinking that is quickly becoming the norm for those who are tired of being held captive by old school ideas that in reality only benefit a minute portion of the population while enslaving the rest.

Learning Twitter To Build Relationships

If you have been using the internet for any reason at all you have probably had people or businesses asking you to follow them on twitter.

So what is twitter exactly? It is a micro blogging site that uses can write short messages called Tweets to connect with people. This might not be help much if you don't know what a blog is so lets define that first. A blog is sort of like a diary where the owner of the blog can post personal messages, experiences, thoughts and things of interest for others to read and comment on.

The term Blog comes from the words, web log, which is its true name but like everything else on the web or the net it has been shortened or slanged by the users.

Micro means small so a micro blog is simply a small web log.

Twitter has quickly become a place to be for connecting with like minded people and many businesses have found it a great place to find customers wanting the products or services they offer.

If you own a business or want to find out about a business, product, service, what's in the news or pratically anything esle you can think of, its time to start "tweeting."

So lets get started and go on over to http://twitter.com and sign up.
Once you are on the twitter site you will be asked to join the conversation. Click on the sign up now button and simply follow the directions for creating an account.

An important thing to note is where it says create a username, make sure you choose a name that others will use to find you. If your branding your own name, company or product this is what you will want to use. I use http://twitter.com/@stevekimball so people will know me by my name.

This is enough for now. In my next post I will continue with how to build a following on twitter.

If you want to find out more about who I am and how I can assist you with your internet marketing and business building needs feel free to stop by.

Can You Really Have Automated Affordable Lead Generation For Your Mlm?

The problem plaguing traditional Mlm, also known as multi level marketing, is most do not offer any type of automated lead generation system that can produce a consistent stream of highly targeted leads and prospects wanting the products or service being offered.

Ask any successful business owner, with a proven track record whether they are online, off line. Mlm or otherwise, what their secret to success has been and I can pretty much guarantee they will answer, “new customers”.

Having a steady stream of new customers will be the life blood of your business.

In traditional Mlm new customers are to be found by talking to friends, family, handing out flyers, having meeting, using the three foot rule and basically feeling like a stalker at times just to find new people to pitch your business to. There is definitely not any automation in lead generation here. Once these activities are stopped so are your leads.

Its amazing that Mlm is even around to day after relying on these less then satisfactory methods for generating leads and new customers. Just thinking about this gives my stomach a turn.

Fortunately for the Mlm industry the internet has come in to play and has literally become a life line for those struggling in an industry where the normal failure rate is a staggering 97%. Wow!

Why the internet for lead generation and more importantly, affordable automated lead generation? The million dollar answer is, Leverage.
Leverage is the ability to apply minimal effort to produce huge results. The internet allows this on a massive scale in the tune of over a billion potential customers.

Affordable automated lead generation is available non stop. How is this possible? The internet is loaded with people looking for answers to a problem they have. In the case of Mlm the problem would be how to get leads? How to make money? How to build a downline or something else along these lines.
The search engines want to provide the answer. Google, Yahoo and Bing are the top search engines and they stay on the top by providing useful content and answers to peoples problems.

So how do we get affordable automated lead generation? We provide the content related to our business, which is the answer the search engines need to provide a solution to problem and then we provide a back link to our business opportunity or service where the searcher can go for more information. This is a highly qualified lead which in turn will most likely develop into a buying customer.

We can do this for free? Is this an affordable enough lead generation strategy for your Mlm? And far as being automated once we put our content out there it is there for a very long time generating leads non stop.

There are many ways to provide our user content to the search engines such as writing articles, shooting videos, social media sites, and web 2.0 properties to name a few where we have the ability to offer a solution to peoples problems while building our own business 24/7 non stop 365 days a year.

Online lead generation is the best and most affordable way of building a mlm business. To receive training and mentoring from professional marketers go to http://TheHomeWealthBuilder.com

The New Economy Requires Drastic Action

As the new economy unfolds before our eyes we all are forced to take stock in where we will fit into the picture. I am not wanting to hype on the doom and gloom that has befallen so many as world markets took a plunge into unknown waters causing businesses to close and fortunes to be lost. We all have heard enough and worse, most of us have felt the pain. If you are amongst the few that haven't had your very existance hammered and reformed on the anvil of the changing economy you should consider yourself extremely lucky.

For the rest of us, the good news. No down turned economy has lasted forever.So there is light at the end of the tunnel.

In times of struggle and recession thoughout history fortunes have been made and you should look at it this way, if you are at the bottom you can only go up. This is a time of drastic change, where by change, huge fortunes will be made for all those willing to take drastic action.

The main reason for using articles is to get your message out about your product or service to the massive internet community. This is not about selling. Articles are to be informative.

Articles are a great way to personally brand yourself so people can learn more about you and your business. Articles will be a bridge that will build trust between a buyer and a seller developing a relationship of mutual respect.

There is a place called a authors resource box below the article where it is permissible to pitch your business tell others about your qualifications and basically about who you are. Tute your horn its okay. If the reader likes your article they will want to go to your web site to find out more.

The article directories let you put a live link in this resource box making it easy for interested readers to link to your web site.

Tip: Write a great resource box before hand and put save it into a word doc so it can easily be copied and pasted into the appropriate area. This is a real time saver.

Tip: Many article directories want a short summuary of your article telling basically what your article is about. Again write this summary into a word doc and when it is asked for just simply copy and paste.

This will conclude the dicussion on article marketing please feel free to use the information and Here's to your prosporous Article marketing.

"Oprah Joins The Ranks Of The Elite Internet Marketers..."

Not sure if you've heard this news yet but Oprah Winfrey, by far the top female Entrepreneur (and definitely the richest) has launched the largest Personal Growth & Development project in existence.

Be sure to pay close attention here…

This past Monday night Oprah launched the "first ever" worldwide interactive web cast from every corner of the planet which became one of the largest single online events in the history of the Internet! More than 500,000 people simultaneously logged on to watch Oprah Winfrey and best selling author of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle, live.

Oprah calls it "the most exciting thing she's ever done and what she believes to be the most important subject of our time"…

Over the next ten weeks starting this week she will be conducting ten weekly online study sessions with Eckhart Tolle. They will be discussing and studying his recently released, breakthrough NEW book: A New Earth. Their aim is to explore through the teachings of this book the most important question you can ever ask yourself…

"What is the purpose of my life and how do I fulfill that purpose?"

(Being able to understand this question and identify with it will determine EXACTLY how much success you will achieve in your life both personally and professionally. That’s a fact.)

Eckhart Tolle says:

"It will be a course in self-exploration and awakening. It will help you see what the dysfunctional patterns are within yourself that create unnecessary conflict and suffering and prevent you from finding true fulfillment. Hopefully, it will also help you access a dimension within yourself that perhaps you didn't know existed or only caught glimpses of on rare occasions.

Don't be trapped for the rest of your life within the narrow confines of your personal history and your conditioned personality and allow your life to be transformed from within, through the power of consciousness itself."

Pretty powerful topics to say the least. I'm not so sure anyone is in a position NOT to take part in this FREE weekly web cast:

Details at Oprah's site here --> www.Oprah.com

Every Monday 8pm CST.
10 weeks, 10 chapters – A New Earth....Maybe even a new YOU?

Don’t miss it! Get in on week 1 right now. Its only Thursday. Still plenty of time...

I just checked out the first week's lesson the other day and the content is outstanding and will definitely open your eyes to some areas of your life that may be holding you back...

Even if you can't make the Monday night live web cast each week you will have the option following the event to download the recording to iPod video, download an mp3, listen to the recording on your computer, or download a pdf transcript. So NO excuses not to set aside time each week!

You may never get the chance again to study alongside Oprah Winfrey, one of this Century's most important and successful Entrepreneurs, AND ask her questions LIVE from your computer each Monday night. Imagine that…

Get involved! And get out there and achieve some breakthroughs in your life starting NOW.

Article Marketing Getting Those Dudes Distributed

By this time I hope you have found the time and wrote an article dealing with something related to your business or product. Now its time to get that dude out there.

There are numerous free article directories available where you can post your great article. I distribute my articles to usually five directories that have a decent traffic rank. If you go to google and type in article directories you will get a huge list to choose from.

I want to make sure the article directories I choose get alot of traffic so I go to Alexa.com which is a web site where we can do a search and get information about any web site. I type in a directory website and check the traffic rank which I want to be under twenty thousand or less so I no I not wasting my time putting my article on a site where nobody will find it.

The main article directories I use are Ezinearticles.com, Goarticles.com, Amazines.com, Articlebase.com and 1888articles.com Feel free to use these websites but also make sure you do your own search for other sites as well.

Article Marketing Tips, Using Keywords

Writing great informative articles and posting them online is a powerful way to exercise your knowledge and build a relationship with like minded readers. They are a great way to drive qualified highly targeted traffic to a web site since the reader already has shown a interest in the content of the article.

The best written article with the best tips, tricks, and how to's won't offer any benefit to anyone if it can't be found in the vast pages of the internet.

Articles must be written around keywords. Keywords are the search terms people type in to their browser when they are looking for something. These keywords are actually the questions people are asking when they are trying to solve a problem. A good example of this would be a term like, "Make Money From Home." When someone types in this search term they are really asking the question, How can I make money from home, or something along these lines.

Great articles answer questions and provide solutions.

So how can we find the search terms people are looking for?

I like to go to a free keyword tool first. Wordtracker offers a free version and we can find it at http://Freekeywords.wordtracker.com/. Type in a general term that relates to your business or topic. The tool will give us a list of keywords that have been used recently on the major search engines relating to this topic.

I pick one of these keywords and type it into google and see the results. I want to look at the number of pages that ranks on google. If there are millions of pages this means there is a great deal of competition and it will be extremely difficult for anyone to find our article when serching on this keyword.

We keep trying different keywords until we found one that has under a hundred thousand pages but preferably less than ten thousand. We also need to have a look at the paid ads which are on across the top and down the right side of the page. If there are a large number listings this is a great keyword for an article and there is profit to be made here because these advertisers wouldn't be here paying for their ads if they weren't making money. Just using common since.

Another great place to find keywords is directly from the heart of google. Type in a search query and look at the terms that appear. These are related terms that are being searched on daily in google with the keywords and phrases with the largest volume of searches at the top with the list descending in order from there. Check out these terms and write articles around them.

These tips should give us a great start in producing traffic thru article writing. Remember repetition breeds perfection so the more we write the better results we'll have.

Article Marketing Tips

Article Marketing is a great way to get back links to your web site by first establishing a relationship between reader and author. Readers looking for answers to a problem will search on the internet for answers and as an author if you can provide the solution with a link to your site you will have highly targeted qualified people coming to your site to purchase the solution.

Why are back links important. Search engines love popular sites and the more back links we have, the more popularity we have and a better chance of having the search engines rank our site. Higher rank means more traffic and more sales.

So where do we begin?

We start by writing articles about our business. Don't sale. The article should present a common problem people maybe having.An example would be how to get out of debt, which is a pretty common problem in todays market.

We should then tell a little about ourselves and how we have had this same problem.

"Yea if you are anything like me I was drowning in credit card debt and my life was miserable. I was working a job that didn't pay near enough to cover my bills etc. Get the Idea."

Then present the solution.

"I learned to make money online and by leveraging the internet it was easy to make all the money I needed to live a comfortable lifestyle without relying on a boss or a job."

Articles structured this way will help us connect with our readers which will make them trust us and want to follow us.

Don't worry about the article being perfect. Perfection will come with repetition. Make sure all spelling is correct as well as the grammer but don't get stuck working on any article to long. The main idea is to take action and start putting your marketing in front of the masses as quickly as possible.

So start writting your articles now and then I will go on to explaining how to distribute them in the next posting along with keyword research ideas to help the engines love us.

Setting Goals The Only Road Map To Personal Wealth

What is a goal? Seems like a simple question but to few really know the true answer.

For those of you who are looking for a definition, Webster defines it as “a result toward which effort is directed”, doesn’t really explain much but if you are looking for a canned answer there you are.

For those who which to stay the coarse in search of the true meaning and fully comprehend the power of setting and achieving goals to create massive financial and personal wealth, let us continue.

Why are goals the essential ingredient for creating wealth? Goals are the step by step system that will keep you focused on a future, predetermined outcome. They are the road map that will be followed on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis to keep us on the fast track for creating a life of wealth and abundance.

The inability faced by most people is clarity on what they want from life and having clarity on a distant out come or result will be the first step in setting a goal. We must know exactly what we want so we can focus on achieving that end result.

We must also focus on how we will feel after achieving this outcome. A strong emotion must be attached to this goal and we must feel as if we have already reached the desired result before we even begin the journey.

Think of this like an architect as he or she begins designing a building. As creativity and emotion is put into the design, the architect breaths life into the building. Long before the construction of the building begins it has already finished in the designers mind.

Clarity and emotion will lead us to our dreams.
Next, a time must be set on when we want to reach this goal.

You really didn’t think this goal setting thing could be accomplished that easy did you? If it could be everybody would have all the wealth they ever desired.

We are embarking on a journey that only the top three percent of the population will ever travel to reach their dreams, the other ninety-seven percent will live a of life of mediocrity.

It has been said that setting a goal without attaching a time limit to it is just a wish. A wish is what people make who want something but are not willing to put any effort into producing an outcome. A wish has no power and is basically dead.

Give this goal life by setting a date and time on when it will be reached.

Another component in this goal setting endeavor is that we must set a series of short term goals that will lead us to our long term goal. These short term goals are our stepping stones. By setting short term goals it will help us not be overwhelmed by our much larger goal which will seem almost out of reach. If it doesn’t seem out of reach, think bigger. This step by step process will make them absolutely attainable.

One last action we must take for achieving our goal is to make a total, without wavering, to the heart commitment, to this goal. We won’t set a goal that we think we might want to achieve. It must be absolutely what we want because we are going after it feverishly.

This goal and the process of setting smaller stepping stones to reach them can be adjusted as we might have to for one reason or another find it necessary as we progress along this path but the commitment that we have to achieving our goal must be etched in stone.

CarbonCopyPro Set to Take Boca Raton By Storm

CarbonCopyPro Marketing has just announced the time and place for their fifth master marketing event which is to be held in Boca Raton Florida on March 31, 2010. A wave of internet marketers and entrepreneurs lead by founders Jay Kubassek and Aaron Parkinson, will come from all around the globe to take part in this powerful, one of a kind, life changing event. Presentations are to be given not only by CarbonCopyPro top earners but also by leading experts in their preferred areas of internet marketing techniques.

Steve Kimball a team leader at CarbonCopyPro and also a master consultant for Wealth Masters International was asked, why should people attend an event like this? His response was, “all leaders and top earners attended these types of occurrences before they claimed their fame, so I would say attendance is mandatory for anyone committed to building a successful online business.

CarbonCopyPro is known for being a online marketing system that can easily be duplicated by its new members, hence the name carbon copy, but after seeing the amazing growth and value added to each event each and each one being better then the previous it is safe to say that these master marketing events are definitely no carbon copy.

Build Momentum and Avalanche Into A Massive Money Making Internet Home Business

I started online a short time ago set out to make my fortune online like so many others have done. I was bent on growing a massive money making internet machine from the comforts of my home so I dove in searching the internet for the best way to build my home business. I bought various E-books and courses and studied diligently but after weeks and months I wasn’t having any results other then depleting my bank account and becoming extremely frustrated. Definitely, not results I was looking to achieve.
I talked to a friend one day and he suggested I try a Internet based business that others were having proven success with and basically follow their lead.
This is how I was introduced to the network marketing direct sales industry. By the way I wasn’t really looking for a business in this industry and at first glance I didn’t know if this opportunity was right for me but after doing my due diligence I joined .
The people in this industry are dedicated to creating success in others and in doing so they create a lifestyle for themselves that most would only dream about.
Give others what they want and in turn you can have everything you want is their philosophy.
This is where it gets interesting. I started marketing the business and the products using the internet as I was taught by the top earners in the company. No trying to pitch the business to Family and Fiends. At first not much happened but as more action was taken my business started to pick up momentum.
Many refer to it as a snowball effect. It was more like an avalanche where one small rock starts tumbling and collides with other rocks, setting them into motion, until finally the entire slope is involved into a massive action of tumbling rocks and boulders.
Not unlike an avalanche, marketing on the internet to build a business can create similar results. Start out by writing and submitting article, placing ads, making a blog, shooting a video or any of the many other internet marketing techniques and watch how that first action step, that first small stone, can avalanche into a massive money making internet home business.
