Online Blogging For Your Home-Based Business

Rather you are looking to for a home-based business or you have already found the business of your dreams blogging can be an asset. Technorati tracked 112 million blogs in December of 2007. To say that internet blogging has grown  since then is way too polite. I would say it has exploded. Are you blogging? Do you see the value of blogging? Do you read blogs?

There are many kinds of blogs. Personal, Corporate, Organizational. They can be written by genres such as politics, travel, and specific subjects like food. There are different media types, for instance, a vlog (video blog), and so on.

Blogs can be quick and easy. You can discuss hobbies, interests, personal life, business(es), or a combination. They are a simple way to be social and are viral.

All this being said, they are a fun way to offer valuable content to your readers lives. Hopefully, you are able to benefit them, while letting them get to know you. I enjoy encouraging and informing people in their search for a work from home business, as well as providing training and education for a home-based  business they already have.

If you have any questions about blogging and other forms of online adventures, such as videos, please ask.

How Not to Spread Yourself Too Thin With a Home-based Business

You started with enthusiasm. You work out of your home.You strive to train, be on calls and webinars, and to set goals. You write goals and work your plan. Eagerly checking your in-box. Now you realize you’re spending way too much time going through emails and you are spending too much money on expensive and/or inexpensive training programs, etc. You have quite a few memberships adding up to more money going out than you are truly reaping the benefits from. You may have purchased a training for only $20 and another for $297,  but you don’t have time to even look through them. Here is a way to prevent this from happening or if it’s too late here is a way to regroup.

#1 After you have decided what company you are going to go with. Do not make purchases without seeking advise from your upline. Follow the system. Systems don’t fail, people do.

#2 Beware and be aware that, even if a product may be good for your business, it won’t do you or your business any good if you don’t have the time to use it.

#3 Set up a real budget. Figure out what you can afford and designate a dollar amount or percent to each category. Advertising, training, events, etc.

#4 Limit your email time. Emails can be a real time stealer.

#5 Limit your social media time. Half an hour a day is good. Twittering should be done consistently all day. If you need more information on that; simply ask me.

#6 Limit any and all memberships, especially those that cost money. Example: Aweber is an auto-responder company and necessary for responding to leads but you may not have time or need a membership to a company that provides a newsletter, community, or training if you are not ready or do not have the time you need to wait. Delay.

#7 Delete and unsubscribe to all of the overwhelming, promising, amazing training programs. They will tell it is the last chance to get it or you’ll pay more or be the first of the now exclusive group and change the face of the internet. Hogwash! Spending money on anything you do not have the time for is a waste. Delay.

#8 Concentrate on the training your company has. Do what other successful people in your company do.

#9 Work on personal growth. If all else fails it will develop you more as a leader and guide you toward becoming a true entrepreneur. 30 minutes a day, reading and/or listening to audio tapes.

Expect that you will have times you will fail. Then get back up. No excuses, it is just part of the journey on the road to freedom.

Rosalind Gardner Super Affiliate

After researching Rosalind Gardner, the person, I found a real person.Known as the First Lady of Internet Marketing, she talks to our pain by explaining her desire get out of her field as an Air Traffic Controller, in 1997,  “because of  the lousy shift schedules”.  Ros, (pronounced Roz),  shows us the way out. Pure and simple. She started without the knowledge, the equipment, working from home, and without the aide of an internet guru. In 2000, Rosalind fired her boss. By 2003 she felt confident enough to write The Super Affiliate Handbook.

I took a tour of her simple office and came away feeling like I had hung out with a friend. Other videos are available to teach you how to link directly to a Citibank product order, become a super affiliate marketer, software she uses, and much more.

How did she do it? Hundreds of markets, many niche markets, and as she says, “wash, rinse, repeat”.

How can you do it? The Super Affiliate Handbook will provide you with a detailed guide to real results. Yes, it is possible to do this on your own. However, time is money and Rosalind Gardner’s books value will more than pay for itself.

So, do some research. If you decide you want to go forward and become an affiliate marketer working from the comfort of your own home, I highly recommend that you save yourself time and money by purchasing The Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner.
