Making money from home is such a powerful and persistent desire that it can almost be considered an American dream. And, believe it or not, millions of Americans are achieving that dream. But there are others who get frustrated because they get drawn into scams. One of the most prominent schemes can be found in the affiliate marketing world.

Home Based Business Or a Work at Home Job

Kirk Bannerman

OK, so you're going to work at home and now you suddenly realize that you have a very fundamental choice to make. Once you have made the decision to work at home (either by choice or out of necessity) you are faced with the decision as to whether to pursue a work at home job or to start a home-based business. That may sound like a minor distinction but the differences can be quite significant.

History of Happiness

Gary M. Miller

The history of happiness didn't begin just a few years ago. It is often estimated that happiness began several thousand years ago because of the earliest writings that have been handed down through history. As early as 5,000 BC there are sacred texts known as the Vedas that was written by great sages and explains the way to find true happiness in life. The Vedas have been the source of the Hindu religion for thousands of years and were even studied by Buddha. Happiness has come along with the existence of life itself.

Project Management Gone Wrong

Heather Villa, CMA, MBA, MSM

The following are true stories of project management gone terribly wrong. Only the details and the names have been changed to protect the guilty. These stories were collected from colleagues who work on projects in large and small organizations in varying industries.

Stop Trying to Be Perfect

Bill Lampton Ph.D.

When I provide speech coaching for executives or when I direct Presentation Skills seminars for corporations, one of the first points I make is this: Trying to be perfect will ruin your presentation. To illustrate: When you hear a speaker who is oh-so-precise with enunciation, so programmed with canned gestures and so fluent without a single blunder, you might react negatively. You sense that you are observing an actor, not a real person.

Stop Stressing - External Checks on Internal Perceptions

Larry Tobin

It's very easy to take our perceptions as reality. We feel hot, we say it is hot. The problem is that perceptions are a matter of perspective and information. Suppose someone who's usually cheerful at work comes in and is much more curt than usual while greeting you. The instinctive response is to wonder if they're mad at you for some reason. But perhaps they simply have a headache, or a sore throat, or have been dealing with crises ever since waking up.

How to Re-brand Practically ANY Link or Text in Any PDF

Willie Crawford

Sometimes your customers tell you exactly what they are looking for in a product, and even point out features, or hidden benefits, of your existing products. If you listen closely, they even show you whole new ways of marketing your products. The perfect example offering a powerful marketing lesson is our new Viral Document Toolkit, a PDF brander and re-brander.

How to Drive More Traffic to Your Website

Alex Rich

Albert Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Nearly every email you read these days is filled with hype or requests from the sender that we follow a link to the senders' offer. Once we arrive at his or her website we have the distinct pleasure of paying for the potential benefits he or she is advertising. Here's the insanity: According to the latest statistics from the US Department of Commerce, less than 5% of all online businesses earn $150 to $500 a month from their Internet marketing!

What Kind Of Backlinks Are Best At Helping Your Website In Google?

Bill Platt

I was in the Warrior Forum, and someone asked what kinds of Backlinks are worth pursuing. As an article marketing guy, I bet you can guess my answer. The answer is that you should have links everywhere your potential clients are looking to find you. Very few link directories offer any real value to you. Many article directories fall into the same trap.

Why You Should Never Buy From Spammers

Gray Rollins

Even if you don’t use the Internet, you've undoubtedly heard of spamming. Spam indexing actually stems from web pages that are created so that a particular website's ranking in search engine results increases. These web pages can be garbage and phrases stuffed into the coding that will appear as legitimate information sources when someone performs a keyword search.

Marketing for Introverts: Is an Online Business the Cure-All?

Marcia Yudkin

According to a marketing coach I know, an online business is the peachiest earning situation for introverts. She offers several valid arguments for her point: You can easily set up the business in a way that suits you; you don't have to get dressed up to impress others in person; and you can eliminate stressful in-person interactions by dealing with clients on the web, by phone and via email. However, I'm wary of her overall claim.

Advertise on Amazon with ClickRiver Ads

Merle

With such a broad shopping base, it should be no surprise that Amazon receives more than 47 million visitors per month. Now that's a lot of traffic. No one does it quite like Amazon. Not only are their visitors Internet savvy but they're in what's known as "shopping mode", not just "search mode." This means they're actually looking to purchase something. This is considered to be a more engaged type of browser.

A Good Business Name Must Be Bold: Oh, Really?

Marcia Yudkin

Visit just about any blog of a high-priced naming consultant, and they'll tell you with oracular confidence that a business name, to succeed, must be X, Y or Z. This is bluster. It is a branding statement of their own, arguing for the kinds of company names they like to create and against the kinds of company names they personally look down on. Such rules are not a valid-for-every-situation fact.

Why Postcard Marketing Can Work For You

Bob Leduc

You may be surprised to learn that postcard marketing still works in the 21st century. In fact, postcards usually produce better results today than in the past - especially when used for generating traffic to a website or sales leads. One reason postcards work so well is because they almost always get read. Think about it. Do you remember ever discarding a postcard without at least knowing what the message was about? It's almost impossible to do.

How Information Products Help Customers Say Yes Faster

Judy Murdoch

An unfortunate side effect of an economic slowdown like the one we're in currently, is spending slows down. If you're a small business owner the slowdown in spending shows up in two ways:
1. Some prospects and customers who might have said "yes" in the past are now saying no because they simply don't have the resources to pay you
2. Those who DO have the resources are take longer to say yes

Sourcing Products via Government Liquidation

Chris Malta & Robin Cowie

In the search for cost effective suppliers for your eBiz, you may never have considered the U.S. government as a possible product source. But government auctions offer online sellers and small business owners a wide range of goods to enhance their regular product lines.

Making the Invisible Visible: The Wow Behind the How!

Harald Anderson

One of the characteristics that I find very attractive in people is an ability to nurture a sense of "wonder" about life. As fast as things occur today, as quickly as information changes hands we often become numb to the creative possibilities going on around us at any given moment. Wonder is that idea and sensation that a great deal of wisdom and beauty remains hidden behind the experience you are witnessing. It is a philosophy of possibilities that challenges our logic and expands our basic understanding and beliefs. It's the WOW behind the HOW!

Demand Prosperity and Abundance!

Wendy Betterini

One major stumbling block many people experience when attempting to attract more prosperity and abundance into their lives is the perception that they must wait for some power greater to give the go-ahead. It's very common to feel this way!

Self-Management is Critical for Handling Problems

Julie Fuimano, RN, MBA, CSAC

A staff member doesn’t handle a problem with a customer well and you, as the manager, are upset. You think to yourself, “Why on earth would he do such a thing? Doesn’t he know better? He should know that’s not how to deal with a customer!”
