The latest on my home business

Well, things have been rather different around here lately - hence the lack of posts. As I've now finished my job, I decided to take a few weeks off and enjoy relaxing.

It's been great just spending time with the kids - my son, who lives at home, and my daughter, who is home from University. We even managed to get away for a few days in Cornwall to meet up with my eldest son who had his passing out parade from Naval basic training.

Finally I'm beginning to get the jungle that called itself my garden back under control - I've managed to cut grass, trim hedges, pull weeds and buy new plants. I've even created a "garden plan" for the first time in the ten years that we've been here!

One of the things that I've found now I'm back working is that there needs to be a structure to the week - so I'm happy I'm able to help out a couple of mornings a week at an office in town. I find I get far more done when I return to my own office than I would if I had five clear days just to work on my own!

Of course, it's been great that my income has still been coming in even though I've chosen to take some time out. So, I'm back with my 'nose to the grindstone' again continuing to build and develop the business, enjoying relaxing coffee/tea breaks and the sunshine in the garden!

Internet Millionaire's protege bootcamp reviewed - or how to build your own home internet business in 4 easy steps

Well, I've just returned from the most amazing weekend with fellow would-be millionaires in London.

We listened and devoured every word from internet marketing expert, Derek Gehl, of the Internet Marketing Centre (IMC) in Vancouver, British Colombia. Although I'm used to going to interesting conferences, this one blew me away with the quality and presentation of information!

We were even treated to Brandon Dupsky, the eBay multi-millionaire, speaking about how to make money on eBay.

Although I think many of us were wary of the "big sell" it never happened. Sure there was an opportunity to buy IMC product packages, but I've come back from the conference with a book of really useful notes, full of useful strategies and tips for building my own internet home business.

Derek broke it down from a five year plan into 4 easy steps for us:-

1. Find a large, easy-to-reach market
2. Find a product or service they want
3. Have a great sales process
4. Now sell to them again and again!

Although they were selling their autoresponder software, Mail Loop, I've come back determined to make more creative use of my existing A Weber software. Hence I've already set up additional auto-responders for two of my sites and am increasing the number of potential customers on my list.

Derek also talked about developing great relationships with potential customers via a Newsletter, so I'm considering how I might also do that for my Home Internet Business website.

It seems that it's vital to get the name and email of visitors to your site - as you get the opportunity to sell to them again and again (or backend,backend,backend! as Derek so eloquently put it!).

By going through this four step process again and again, you'll be creating multiple streams of income that can build up to a substantial online income.

Drive traffic to your site today

Did you realize that thousands of website operators use asimple technique to generate targeted visitors to theirwebsites without paying a dime in advertising?

It's true. In fact, the technique works so well that many of themdon't want you to discover how they get those thousands ofwebsite visitors and make so many sales on virtual "auto-pilot."

Their method?

Creating tightly focused articles other people publish intheir ezines (online magazines and email newsletters) andpost on their websites. This method rates so powerful thatsome even call it "the web's best kept traffic secret."

Now, you may ask, "Why would an ezine publisher or websiteowner publish my articles for their subscribers?"

The answer: Content!

Over a 100,000 ezines and newsletters operate on the web(along with millions of websites) covering everything frompets and cooking to investments and real estate. Many ofthem need tightly focused content and they simply can'tproduce all of it themselves.

Look at it this way... it's the same reason newspapers usethe Associated Press. Individual newspapers often can'tafford staff writers to cover every story, so they acceptarticles from outside their organization.

You can do the exact same thing for various ezines andwebsites catering to your niche audience!

You can get valuable publicity -- exposure you oftencouldn't even pay for if you wanted to -- by providingvaluable, content-rich articles in exchange for a bylineand a link to your website (called a "resource box")!

The following represent only a few of the enormous benefitsof writing and distributing simple articles online:

** Attain "Expert" Status **

Let's face it! In the eyes of virtually everyone who readsyour articles you rank as the "expert" on the subject.

Just look at people who write newspaper columns. Youmay disagree with their viewpoints, but they still have anelevated status in your mind compared to the "average Joe"off the street.

** Pre-sell Website Visitors **

If your article appeals to a niche audience hungry for moreinformation on a very focused subject, you actually pre-sell them better than any sales pitch. In their minds,you've already delivered content they really want so whenthey click over to your site you already have a"reputation" in their minds.

** Traffic Lasts Longer **

Even though the Internet changes very quickly, webmastersare usually very slow to remove content from their sites.Once you get an article posted on another person's website,you have an excellent chance of that article staying therefor weeks, months, even years.

** Increase Links To Your Site **

In a recent search I found just a dozen of my articlesposted on over 813 different websites! Not only do thosepostings bring me traffic, but they also help my searchengine positioning because of my increased "LinkPopularity."

** Builds Your Affiliate Base **

Fact: Affiliates always take the path of least resistance. If you provide excellent articles they can easily post ontheir sites or copy and paste into their ezines, youraffiliates will promote you more often and more effectivelycompared to those who don't give them tools. Plus, as you make more sales and publish articles, otherpeople will see you providing excellent tools and will wantto sign up as your affiliate so they can use them too!

** Build a Huge "Opt-In" Email List **

You can use articles to build up a huge list of subscribersby simply compiling several articles into a series anddelivering them at preset intervals. Often called a "mini-course," this technique allows you notonly to prove to your subscribers that you deliver greatinformation, but enables you to capture their name andemail adress so you can send them articles and specialoffers in the future (with their permission).

** Requires No Special Skills **

People often think they need to be a "writer" in order topublish articles, but that's not true!

FACT: If you have a passion for a subject and can talk andexplain things like you would to a friend over a cup ofcoffee, you can write articles people will love to read.

So if you operate a website selling virtually any type ofproduct or service (whether your own or as an affiliate),publishing and promoting with articles should rank high onyour list of traffic generation strategies.

No other method of generating targeted traffic to yourwebsite provides the quality, quantity and steadiness oftraffic in such a simple, straightforward, and cost-effective manner.

Instant Article Submitter reviewed

Wow! I've just bought a copy of the new software, Instant Article Submitter (IAS). This is the latest offering from Rod Beckwith and Jeff Alderson and is a great way to create targeted traffic for your site!

I've been in the internet business for some time now and I have to say that I've seen several products that simply don't live up to their promises. However, this is one product that over delivers.

If you've submitted articles to the Article Directories by hand, you'll know how painstaking it can be go visit each Article Directory, log in, submit the article, choose a category and so on. The new IAS make this as easy and painless as possible.

You simply add the article once to the software and then save it. There's then an opportunity to select a broad term, such as "health" for the category submission, and then you can further hone your selection e.g. "health - alternative". This is the only part that takes any real time or input, but the great bit is that once you've chosen which directories to submit to and selected the categories, you just click the start button and off it goes submitting to over 150 article directories!

This is a very powerful way to get one-way links back to your site. I've already submitted over a dozen articles and can see that for some of them I've got over 150 backlinks in search engines such as MSN. Although it's probably too soon to know how this has improved my sites placement in the search engines - I'm certainly getting more visitors through these links.

For just one article that I submitted to Ezine Articles just a month or two ago, I had an additional 150 visitors to that new page, created specially for my article. Imagine what can happen when that same page is submitted to over 150 article sites ....?! I'm eagerly anticipating the results myself.

I'd thoroughly recommend that you look at Instant Article Submitter, it's great for creating targeted traffic for your site and will also help improve your search engine ranking over time.
