Your Attitude Can Help Your Work at Home Success

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

As you prospect and recruit, your attitude can help you become a work at home success. Unfortunately, your attitude can also get in the way of your success. Your attitude is equally important to your success as your marketing effort. Without marketing, you won’t have the people to talk with and recruit.

Success in recruiting goes beyond just a good marketing message. You will do more recruiting as a result of having a good attitude. Those you prospect and recruit will do business with you because of you as an individual. They will do business with you when you show you care about them and show you can help meet their needs. Network marketing is about relationships, it is about helping people. Our recruiting should then also reflect doing something for people. We should do things with people and for people, not to them.Those you prospect and eventually recruit are constantly thinking, “what’s in it for me?” If you are focused on yourself rather than the prospect, you will find yourself in a position of being manipulative and pushing people. The key is to develop an attitude that you truly are there to help people.

Owning a Home Based Business Takes Courage

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

I hadn’t really thought of owning a home based network marketing business as being courageous, but in a way I believe having the perseverance to stick with it and work toward your goal when others don’t have your vision does take a certain amount of courage.

Increase Volume in Your Home Business Organization

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Working from a plan of action will be critical to the success in increasing volume within your organization. Most people think about increasing volume by making their downlines purchase more by talking about minimum purchases. Sometimes this is also stated as a required recommended level for the home business builder.

However, this can many times backfire because the distributor does not fully have the details of how to move the product to the end user. The marketer should not stock the product without selling it to the end user. Getting customers who do consistent repeat business is essential………

Work at Home Dad Article

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

Yes, I’m a work at home Dad and have been for over 6 years. I have 2 kids and I homeschool my daughter because she is pursueing a gymnastics career. I’m able to do this because I’m a successful Internet business owner. I developed this website to help other work at home dads succeed in their home business goals and their goals to spend more time with their children. Unfortunately, most work at home websites are catered to work at home moms. If you search ‘work at home’ on Google, most of the top sites are work at home mom sites, so I hope that this website will focuses more on what I believe stay at home dads will find more interesting. Obviously, a business opportunity does not discriminate between moms and dads, but I hope that I present some legtimate resources that us Dads may prefer.

My Dad never had the entrepreneural vision and worked hard 12 hour days to support the family. As I grew up, I new that I wanted something better for myself and my family. When the Internet was born, my search for a successful home based business began.

I soon discovered that the Internet is filled with “Work at Home” business opportunities. Most of these opportunities promises fast riches, so I became more intrigued.

AOL released sensitive search data

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Earlier this month, AOL released sensitive search data detailing 20 million searches preformed by 658,000 subscribers. While the AOL data obviously raises privacy concerns, it can contain useful information for search engine marketers.

Which result page gets the most clicks?

The AOL data allows us to find out how many people visit more than one result page on AOL:

91.63% of the AOL users clicked on the results on the first result page. Only 4.49% clicked a result from the second result page, 2.19% clicked a result on the third result page and even less people looked beyond the first three result pages.

Which search result position gets the most clicks?

The AOL data also allows us to find out which search result gets the most clicks. The following diagram shows the percentage of user clicks per search result position:

Being #1 on the search results is best by far. 47.16% of the users clicked on the first result. That means that the first position in the search results gets almost half of the traffic.

It this also true for Google and Yahoo?

The numbers are for AOL users. Google and Yahoo users might be from a different demographic group than AOL users and they might have different search behavior. AOL users are often less tech-savvy, when compared to Google users.

What does this mean to your web site?

The AOL data shows how important it is to be listed on the first result page. The higher your search engine rankings are, the better.

To be listed on the first result page on Google and other major search engines, optimize the content of your web pages and make sure that your web site has good inbound links.

Optimized web page content and good inbound links are the most important factors for high search engine rankings. If your web site has both, it will be ranked on the first result page of all major search engines.

eBay Business Resource Review

Friday, August 18th, 2006

Can you really make a living from eBay?
ABSOLUTELY! Everyone on the internet knows eBay. While many people pay thousands of dollars to have a website built and then thousands more to advertise it and get traffic, the smart entrepreneurs are going where the traffic already is. eBay has over 400,000 registered users and generates millions of dollars in transactions daily. With all this money changing hands, many people have tried starting an ebay business. Some are very successful but most fail.

The popularity of eBay and the fact that now anyone who has basic computer knowledge can open an online business has produced countless numbers of ebooks and business plans for how to get rich from eBay.

The Facts Are… We have scoured through many sites that claim they will provide you a great ebay business plan and get you earning thousands of dollars instantly, and unfortunately many of them are incomplete with poor quality. These sites typically tell you the obvious answer for what needs to be done: Buy a product cheap and sell it for more. With no further instructions of WHERE to buy from and HOW to get the most out of your products. Many of these “How-To” sites list old and outdated sources for buying products with links that don’t even work.

There is hope! We did find some excellent sites that offer very good ebay business plans that if followed CAN start a profitable business on eBay. These resources teach you about what works and what doesn’t, what sells and what won’t and exactly how to build your ads to make the greatest amount of money. Below we have listed the very best eBay Courses we could find. We spent countless hours finding these reputable companies and now we are passing the knowledge onto you.

Home Business Leadership Tips

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

People will not follow a home business leader they cannot or do not trust. Understanding that leadership can only function on the basis of trust gives you an edge over the competition. Being a leader whom your team can trust will allow you to be positioned for reaching your full potential.

Keep in mind, trust is the most important element in building and maintaining relationships in your home based business. Without trust, you will never be the leader people will want to follow. Without trust, you will experience the greatest challenge in your business… survival.

Developing trust as a home business leader is not easy. However, once people trust you as a person, they will begin to trust your leadership. So how does one develop trust?

Without a shadow of doubt, always be upfront and straightforward with people. Do not market on hyped up campaigns or give the illusion of great results with little or no effort. Begin with the nuts ‘n bolts… what it really takes. People will appreciate you and will begin to gain trust in you as a person…..

Work at Home Parents Defined

Sunday, August 6th, 2006

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A work at home parent is an entrepreneur who works from home and integrates parenting into his or her business activities.

Entrepreneurs choose to run businesses from home for a variety of reasons, including lower business expenses, personal health limitations, eliminating commuting or in order to have a more flexible schedule. This flexibility can give an entrepreneur more options when planning tasks, business and non-business, including parenting duties. While some home-based entrepreneurs opt for childcare outside the home, others integrate child rearing into their work day and workspace. The latter are considered work-at-home parents.

Many WAHPs start home-based businesses in order to care for their children while still creating income. The desire to care for one’s own children, the incompatibility of a 9-to-5 work day with school hours or sick days, and the expense of childcare prompt many parents to change or leave their job in the workforce in order to be available to their children. Many WAHPs build a business schedule that can be integrated with their parenting duties.

Integrating Business and Parenting
An integration of parenting and business can take place in one or more of four key ways: combined uses of time, combined uses of space, normalizing children in business, and flexibility.

Combining uses of time involves some level of multitasking, such as taking children on business errands, and the organized scheduling of business activities during child’s down times and vice-versa. The WAHP combines uses of space by creating a home (or mobile) office that accommodates the child’s presence.

Normalizing acknowledges the child’s presence in the business environment. This can include letting key business partners know that parenting is a priority, establishing routines and rules for children in the office, and even having children help with business when appropriate.

Lastly, the WAHP can utilize the inherent flexibility of the work at home arrangement. This may mean working in smaller increments of time instead of long stretches, looser scheduling of day’s activities to allow for the unexpected, and working at non-traditional times.

A business that demands 9-to-5 business hours, a polished office, intense one-on-one time with clients, dangerous materials, or impromptu appointments may not work well for a parent with children at home. Thus, not all professions lend themselves to work at home parenting. Without good organization, the WAHP may experience decreased productivity due to added responsibilities and unexpected interruptions.

History
The concept of the WAHP has been around as long as small businesses. In pre-industrial societies, merchants and artisans often worked out of or close to their homes. Children typically remained in the care of a parent during the day and were often present while the parents worked. Societal changes in the 1800s, such as compulsory education and the Industrial Revolution, made working with children around less common.

Entrepreneurship saw a resurgence in the 1980s, with more of an emphasis on work/life balance. The term WAHP began gaining popularity in the late 1990s.

Spend Time with Kids Working at Home

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

It is disappointing to see statistics on how little time parents spend with their kids. It’s unfortunate to know the steep price families pay when both parents work full-time in order to pay for large mortgages and expensive cars. On average, parents who work full-time spend less than 20 minutes per day with their kids!

With this little time, a parent barely has time to have a basic conversation with their kids. Parents not only have to deal with expensive housing, they also work long hours, and many have to deal with long commutes to and from work. Most things seem more important than the kids. Not surprisingly, this is why work at home businesses are becoming more and more popular.

I’ve personally never had the desire to be a part time dad who spends less than 20 minutes per day with my kids. So I was determined to find and succeed with a work at home business. I am so greatful that I made this decision over 6 years ago. It wasn’t easy, but with my focus on my main goal (to spend more time with my kids), I knew I would succeed. I know spend so much time with my kids that they sometimes drive me crazy!
