Taking A Leap Of Faith In Your Business
Posted by: | Comments
April is always such a busy month for me – both of my daughter’s birthdays are in April, and it always seems like that is when everything else starts up as well…(soccer, swimming lessons, etc. etc……).
But, I have made a conscious decision this year that I am going to also make sure that my business is taken care of as well – and while I am still going to be as busy as I can doing everything I need to do every day to grow my business, (sadly, at the expense of my spring housecleaning, but that is another matter altogether!), I know that I can’t possibly do everything that needs to be done.
Time For A Leap Into The Great Unknown!
Don’t Be Afraid To Do Things Your Way
Posted by: | Comments
I was reading a blog post the other day, which talked about doing things your own way when you are working online – not just following the “herd mentality” and doing everything the way the experts tell you is the only right way.
This post might get long winded, and maybe go a bit all over the place, so I do apologize. I tend to write as though I am talking, and as happens a lot of the time I am talking, I can go in about 5 different directions by the time I am finished! But, I will do my best to keep you with me;-)
I have been working online for a few years now – and I am proud of the fact that I have never sold myself out to make money. What I mean is, I know there are markets, and niches I could go into that would make me very good money. However, I can’t – in my own conscience – do it. Not that I am saying that those who do are bad people – but I just know that it isn’t something for me.
Affiliate Marketing Case Study – Update
Posted by: | CommentsI just wanted to do a quick post here today, as I am busy doing some more sites. But, I had to come and let you know my results so far!
After just one day of having the Amazon plugin installed, and completely redoing my site…….I had 3 orders through Amazon! I only had 6 clicks – but 3 of them ordered!
I was so surprised – and I know that it does help that I was already getting traffic to the site, but it still isn’t a large amount – averaging about 40 a day.
Because Amazon doesn’t show any amounts until the order is actually shipped (I believe), I didn’t see until today what I had even made. It isn’t a huge winfall by any means – only $8 and some change – but seriously….if you can’t see the potential in this, then I don’t know what to say!
Get enough of these sites out there working like this every day, and you will start to see something building up that will continue to make you money every month.
Internet Marketing – Is It Right For You?
Posted by: | Comments
When we talk about Internet Marketing, most people get a blank stare on their face and wonder what we are talking about. Then, most people will start to think the worst – that internet marketers are peddling the “less than desirable” products, (yes, I mean “adult” products), or that everyone is involved in spam and all the other wonderful scams that are all over the internet.
There is usually a bit of shock that you – especially when you are a MOM (gasp!) – would be involved in such a shady business venture.
Well, to put the record straight for anyone who thinks that is all internet marketers do, I am going to give a bit of a run-down of some of the other possible ventures we are involved in. And, for any of you who are wanting to learn a bit more about Internet Marketing, and start working from home – you can pick up some ideas of possible avenues you could try for earning your own income.
What Is Holding You Back?
Posted by: | Comments
Today I just wanted to write about something that I believe is holding so many women back from finding the success they are looking for. I know that I am guilty of it, and I know of many women I have spoken to who are in the same situation.
So – what is it that is holding us back?
Not having confidence in our knowledge, our service, our products or whatever else we need to have confidence in when we are in our own business.
Honesty and Integrity
Posted by: | CommentsToday I want to talk about honesty and integrity in marketing – which is something that is of interest to anyone who is thinking of starting up a business of their own.
I have been working online for over 2 years now, and much of that time has been spent learning and watching what others were doing. The problem I have is that I am not much of a salesperson, which obviously is essential to marketing any business.
I have taken writing jobs for way less than what I felt I deserved to be paid for my time, because I didn’t want to seem pushy and demand the same payment that others were receiving for doing the same work.
Anyway, the point of my post is that the other day I was reading something that was written by a very well known and respected marketer who is making very good money. He basically wrote a story with a message to follow that well known formula – “do unto others…..”
