A Blog Is....

By Don Bethune

With the popularity of the internet has come a new way for people to communicate with each other. Besides email, instant messenger, and chat, some individuals are even taking up a form of journal keeping that allows everyone to read and participate in their writing. Blogs are becoming increasingly popular, and are starting to be maintained by celebrities, and even businesses. But really, what is a blog?

Your blog is whatever you want it to be: it can be a personal diary that you share with the world, or your outlet for your political views. It can keep track of stories in the media, or connect a company to its customers on a personal level. Blogs are even being kept by family members to keep other family members who live too far away involved in their daily lives.

Why blog? Well, a blog gives an individual the ability to share their uncensored beliefs on many subjects. A large number of blogs give their readers the ability to respond personally to their various issues. Indeed, a number of blogs are created just to generate debate or absorb readers in the online topic.

Some bloggers post pictures they have taken online, some even post videos of their activities. Others may share items that other authors allow to be shared online. Bloggers frequently post links to other favorite websites, such as those belonging to friends, or even sites owned by those who comment.

Itas amazing how popular blogs can be and how much website traffic they can generate. Several of the webas most well-liked blogs are the personal blogs of people we would otherwise have no chance of knowing. Some people have become famous for their blogs.

Authors can earn income from their blogs. The primary method for making your web site profitable is simply advertising. Large numbers of bloggers offer space for advertisements on their site in exchange for a little money. There are also online programs that manage multiple advertising campaigns that bloggers can enroll in, and that provide content-targeted ads which generate money for the blogger for viewership.

There are multiple ways that bloggers use to increase their web site traffic, such as having online competitions, or giving their visitors the opportunity to view content unavailable elsewhere. Some bloggers even shell out money for web site traffic in order to increase their perceived popularity and thus, perhaps, generate more money from advertising.

So the next time you wonder, really, what is a blog? You know itas now more than just a random collection of someoneas thoughts; it can be informative, entertaining, or thought-provoking. It can create extra income for the author, or if it gets popular enough, even become a full-time job. - 15790

Building a successful MLM Internet Business

By Julieanne van Zyl

This article gives you three keys to building a successful Internet Network Marketing Business. Most people think that making money online is too difficult. More often than not, they are wrong and maybe they just don't understand the dynamics of making money online. While this is common among ordinary folks, it is surprising that even big companies also adopt this attitude.

Many multilevel marketers and companies that have dabbled into taking their businesses online without success the first time have often just thrown in the towel and given up on the goldmine that is called the internet. However, I have noticed that one of the single most important reasons this often happens is because of the mindset multilevel marketing businesses bring to marketing their businesses online. In this post and in the concluding part, we'll be looking at the three keys that you need to successfully build a profitable multilevel marketing business online.

1. Stop speculating that you are not dealing with individuals. Funny as this may sound, the tendancy to feel that your prospective clients are just some set of people there that I don't have to really talk to is pretty common online. People regularly believe that because it is the internet, you do not need to know these people. This is a mistake. Regardless of whether you see them or not, you Must treat them as you would if you were looking right at them. This will guarantee your business' stability and resulting profitability.

2. Always motivate your team. Offline this is popularly carried out in the form of motivational seminars often including successful individuals who were able to make money from their multilevel marketing efforts who come to share their "secrets", offer tips and techniques during the seminar and generally inspire people to keep at it. So, how can you do this particularly when your team are from all over the world? Easy. Provide teleseminars or webinars every week, every fortnight , every month, etc. Choose when you believe will be the simplest for you and notify your associates about the upcoming seminar that you will be having for them. Depending on what you feel the content of the seminar will be, you could either charge them a very low fee or make it free for getting on the call. Your teleseminar must also include question and answer sessions so that users can seek and acquire answers to questions that are bothering them.

3. Offer them incentives sometimes. Have you seen how much pleased and more inspired team members are when you offer a rebate or a discount on a product if they bought in X amount of sales a month? Or have you noticed how your team members often want to work with you when you offer them some free gifts?? Offer them something of a high perceived value; a token that they will really adore to have. This will increase their participation and boost their morale, which will regularly translate into more rewars advantage for your establishment. Take notice of these three things we've discussed, and they will assist you in building a large Internet Network Marketing Business. - 15790

Help Sewers And Make Money

By David Trumble

Working from home is a dream shared by millions. There have been thousands of books written about how to start your own home business.

There are so many con jobs and rip-offs that most of us eventually get a little skeptical. There are endless promises, guarantees, assurances, and can not lose opportunities it makes your head spin. If you believe there is an ideal opportunity where you never have to sell, work, serve, or do anything but rake in the cash; wake up. If there were such an opportunity, I know I would have found it. And I have not.

Dont get me wrong, I still believe in my own home based business. I still believe people can make a living without a job. I assure you, I am not some rich guy either. You see, I still believe in work too. I just like to work from my house instead of driving to some factory job or office.

For many years my wife ran a part time sewing business from our home. She worked when she wanted to, and she brought in needed extra cash. My meager salary as a small church minister was hardly enough to raise five children, so money was always tight. There were a few years when she did work outside of the house teaching 2nd grade and later 7th grade, but we really appreciated the fact that most of the time our children were small, mom was there.

By the time our youngest child was entering middle school, Donna wanted to do more than just an occasional project. So she started running a small ad in the classifieds. She passed out business cards, and generally let everyone know she was available to do custom sewing. She was already an expert and well known through church circles, but the advertising did help. Soon work was coming in by the bag full. An interesting thing happened, however, we also started getting requests from sewers for sewing machine repair.

I took a repair course with Allyn International in Denver. I found a repairman in Austin who would mentor me. I collected service manuals. Essentially, I learned to repair sewing machines so I could collect the dollars people were trying to push on me. Yes, within a few months I was repairing five to six machines every week all from my garage part time. Eventually, we opened a small store, then expanded, and expanded again. Currently, our company repairs about 150 sewing machines monthly.

I am amazed by the number of people I meet, who know nothing about sewing or sewing machines. It appears some people think sewing is something they to in China. When I tell them that I make a living doing sewing machine repair and selling sewing machines, they respond as if I were from another world.

I explain that there are some 85 million sewing machines in use just in the United States. Another 5 million new machines are sold every year. And guess what. Every one of those sewing machines requires sewing machine service and repair annually. That is a lot of sewing machines to fix.

So, exactly how can you make money repairing sewing machines? You can quickly learn how to do the work. You can start part time working on your kitchen table or in your garage. Forget about overhead, large investments, employees, and loads of government red tape.

Getting started is easy. Once your learn your trade, all you really need to do is let sewers know you are available to help them. You might service a few machines for free to get people talking about your new service. Then you might repair some machines at a special introductory price. Find out what your competition is charging if you have any. Usually, the larger towns and cities will have repair shops, but most suburbs and medium to small towns do not. Pass out business cards. Contact churches, clubs, sewing groups, quilt guilds, retirement groups, everybody who might sew. Offer specials. Run a small classified ad. Generally, let the whole world know you now do sewing machine repair.

Lets be practical. I make no promises because you set your own rates and you do all the work, however, what if you could earn an additional $300 per month or $4,000 per year and only work a couple hours a week? He is how it works. Say you do one machine each week. You charge $80 for each one. It takes about 2.5 hours to do a service. You have no overhead, no employees, no big investment; so you keep all the money. Do the math: $80 time 1 machine times 4 weeks = ______ or times 52 weeks = ______. Not too shabby for a couple of hours a week at home.

But what if you get aggressive. Maybe you are not satisfied with one machine a week. Maybe you decide you want to work your business say ten to fifteen hours a week and do say 5 machines a week. The numbers stay the same, but you multiply them times the added machines you do. In short order, you could be earning a part time income of better than $20,000 a year.

Now if you were to expand and set up a few collection sites in quilt shops, fabric stores, and other repair shops; what kind of potential do think you could achieve?

What is your maximum potential for full time sewing machine repair? Without opening a sewing store and without hiring employees, you will find that you max out between fifteen and twenty sewing machines per week. The more demand for your services, the more you can charge. The better job you do, the more you can earn. The faster you are, the more machines you can do. At $99 per machine and averaging 20 machines per week, you might see as much as $100,000 a year. Of course, this is really a pie in the sky estimate, however, you are in control. You set your own potential.

Here is a business that is practical and doable. It does require some basic mechanical skills, common hand tools, some sewing machine repair training, and a bit of work. It does not require a large investment. It does not require hiring employees. It does not require large over head, renting facilities, or opening a store. The potential of this business depends on you reaching out to those who sew and quilt to attract customers and properly servicing their sewing machines. You can start very part time and gradually expand your business as you desire. - 15790
