No. 20 How to find help starting your work from home business, without spending your start-up capital.

How to find help starting your work from home business, without spending your start-up capital.
By : Yoshi G Kundagawa

Whenever you start something new, you're usually scared out of your pants, and I was no exception. Oh sure, I'm a self-assured, totally confident freelancer now, but when I got started working for myself, I was sweating bullets. There's no one to catch you if you fall, and there's no one to blame if you mess up. It was exhilarating; it was exhausting! I ended up talking to one of my friends, who happens to be a very successful work at home businessman. That's one of the first things I can tell you about small business help; it's all about the networking. Talk to people who are related to your field, talk to people who don't seem related. You never know where you'll find the real treasures.

The first thing he told me was to take advantage of the internet. The internet is a way for people to connect and it's a terrific equalizer. With a simple yet professional website, you automatically give your company a lot more credibility and the appearance of stability. If you remember to make sure your webpage load quickly, don't inflict a lot of bells and whistles on the people who are on dial-up and keep things simple, you'll already be heads and tails ahead of some of the amateur businesspeople out there.

The second thing he told me was there the internet is full of information and that it was just a matter of knowing where to look. While he said that small business help was available through basic searches, he also said that that was only the start. You've really struck gold when you find a community. Find a forum that caters to both your target audience and to the people who are in the same field as you. Some quick searches through these forums and communities will give you a lot of the basics that people have tested out before you. Be prepared to wade through some really silly stuff, but the information you get on sites like this is invaluable.

The third and arguably most important thing he told me was to actually be a part of a community, online or off, that addresses the small business at hand. You can network, make contacts, avoid mistakes that the veterans have already made and meet some genuinely nice and interesting people. For more immediate help, you might want your own personal guru so head to http://didyousmellthat.com/mentor/. Gatherings, whether in cyberspace or down at the neighborhood bar, are a great place to get free advice and suggestions. In fact, my friend said wryly, the trick might be getting it to stop!

When you've first stuck out on your own, having your own small business can be overwhelming, but remember the help is never far away.

Affiliate program Secrets: The Truth About Getting Rich From Affiliate Programs
By : Ikey Benney

This article reveals 7 high powered nitty-gritty affiliate marketing secrets of millionaire webmasters and internet business tycoons, which will help you generate massive website traffics, sales and large amount of affiliate program commissions, as well as insights into success in affiliate programs promotion, affiliate programs promotion, affiliate program marketing, affiliate program advertising, Affiliate program traffic secrets, affiliate program landing pages, affiliate program commissions, internet website marketing guru, seminars, website promotion softwares, internet marketing and promotion e-books, internet marketing softwares, pay per click leads, pay per click income, affiliate program income, business marketing, business advertising, website traffic secrets, free website traffics secrets, internet marketing ideas, website marketing secrets, online business advertising.

There are millions of different affiliate programs on the internet and also offline to join and most are free.

During the past 7 yrs, millions of people from all over the world have joined these free affiliate programs in order to generate supplemental incomes or full time as home based businesses.

Since most of these affiliates have full time jobs and have little or no computing, website or business marketing and management skills, most have found it very difficult to generate affiliate commissions and reasonable income because they don't know how to generate website traffics.

Therefore, some of them were forced to flock to the so-called internet-marketing gurus to buy internet-marketing e-books, website promotion softwares and read gazillion numbers of silly e-zines to learn how to promote their affiliate programs and websites.

Some of these so-called gurus went as far as seducing these internet newbies into attending their over priced internet-marketing seminars for $5000 in different cities in America and other countries of the world.

In some of these internet marketing e-books, the so called internet marketing gurus told them that the big secrets of getting rich on the internet were to get massive traffics by placing free classified ads, advertising in FFA (Free For All) websites, placing banner ads, doing pay per click advertising, creating thousands of blogs and pinging them, buying expensive text ad links, doing reciprocal link exchange with other websites, doing opt-in e-mail marketing, joint venture marketing, optimize and submit their websites to search engines, write articles about topics relating to their internet business and affiliate programs and submit them to thousands of article directories so as to get one way links, high page ranks and top 10 ranking so as to get massive traffics.

The so-called website marketing gurus seduced them into believing that to be able to do all these promotions they must use certain softwares and programs, which they must buy from them (the so-called internet marketing gurus!)

Some of these internet marketer newbies followed all these advices diligently and bought the softwares, did all the recommended internet marketing and promotions.

They have done the internet promotion work, but they were generating little or no traffics and sales despite spending thousands of dollars and their valuable time for 1yr-2yrs.

Finally, they became fade up and were forced to begin to scream, "Where is the money?"

What they did not realize was that most of the internet marketing strategies, which the so-called gurus had recommended, had been out of date, stale, invalid and did not work any more.

They did not know that the gurus do not even use those internet marketing and website promotion strategies.

This is because most of the so-called gurus had already made their money in various businesses before they got involved in internet businesses.

Most had built large customer base for about 10yrs-20 yrs before they began internet business.

One so-called internet-marketing guru sold his offline business for about $20,000,000 before he began his internet business and had more than 100,000 e-mail list to market any product to and generate thousands of dollars easily and instantly.

He was awash in raw cash and had 100,000 people he could send e-mails to market any product.

Obviously, most of the internet marketing strategies he recommended such as opt-in e-mail marketing worked for him and made him rich because he already had 100,000 in-house e-mail list databases of customers!

So, in their minds, the so called gurus might have believed that just because their internet marketing strategies worked for them it would work for everybody who bought their $29.95 e-books and website promotion softwares.

It is clear that what these gurus have been selling are half-truths.

They do not tell their customers the whole truth for obvious reasons.

Think about it.

Why would a so-called internet-marketing guru sell a powerful internet marketing "secret" which could make him $500,000 to somebody for $29.95?

Think seriously and logically about it.

Why would such a website marketing guru be naïve enough to sell it to thousands of Tom, Dick and Jane all over the world and therefore create unnecessary competitions for him/her, which would affect his income and profits negatively?

This is a no-brainer.

It is irrational.

No right thinking, rational and profit-motivated businessperson will do that: cut his/her nose to spite his/her face.

This will explain why only the so-called website marketing gurus have been getting richer in their internet businesses while the buyers of their internet marketing e-books and website promotion softwares have been doing poorly, and not succeeding as much as the website promotion gurus have in their affiliate programs marketing and internet businesses.

Website traffics, visitors and customers are the lifeblood of every business, both on the internet and off the internet.

If you cannot get massive website traffics and genuine targeted visitors to your affiliate program websites, you will not generate any sales and affiliate commission and income.

It is as simple as that.

So what are the secrets, which can help you to begin to generate massive website traffics and genuine visitors so that you may begin generating large amount of affiliate commissions like the super affiliates in your affiliate programs?

Here are some common sense useful tips to help you skyrocket your success in affiliate program marketing:

(1) Choose and promote only high paying affiliate programs.

Before you begin promotion, phone the company and make sure they are real people (and not just a bunch of 12 yr old kids goofing around online) and inquire how long it takes them to pay the commissions and ask how to verify that they pay their affiliates.

Ask them to refer you to some of their affiliates so that you may verify everything.

Most affiliate companies do not pay the commissions and you will not know until after you had spent time and money for a few months to promote their products and generated a large commission.

Then you will find out they would refuse to pay.

So check out and research the affiliate program before you begin promotion to make sure you will be paid your affiliate commissions.

(2) Select and promote only affiliate programs in high demand with mass appeal but with small number of marketers and sellers/suppliers.

The demand must be greater than the supply for you to generate massive traffics and generate large amount of commissions.

The higher the demand for the product/service, the more there will be traffics/visitors, sales and large affiliate commissions to be made.

(3) Stay away from most free affiliate programs.

Since they are free, hundreds of thousands of affiliates may be promoting them already, therefore saturating the market and creating more supply than demand and therefore making it hard to generate massive traffics, sales and affiliate commissions.

(4) Create your own affiliate program landing pages for all your affiliate programs.

On this landing page, include a short review of the affiliate program and how you have enjoyed it (if you have or how anyone else who bought it enjoyed it.)

Or you may use any testimonials at the company's website.

Be sure to optimize this affiliate program landing page with the proper keywords.

This will help it to be indexed in the search engines and so get exposures and traffics.

If you do not know how to optimize a website/affiliate landing page, please go to our website and get our FREE POWERFUL INTERNET MARKETING E-BOOK, "PRAGMATIC MARKETING, THE HIGH OCTANE MARKETING SECRETS OF MILLIONAIRE WEBSMASTERS" (Go to: http://maychic.com/affprograms.htm)

In the FREE "PRAGMATIC MARKETING" e-book, you will learn also how to monetize your affiliate program landing pages so that if your visitors do not click and order the affiliate program product/service, you would still make money from the other money generating programs on the affiliate program landing pages.

(5) Promote your affiliate landing pages aggressively.

Submit them to search engines every two weeks.

You can go to our website and use the FREE submission softwares (http://maychic.com/resources.htm)

We also revealed automated website submission services at that page, which you may use.

Search engines index billions of websites all the time so competition is stiff.

Do not relax and wait for them to come and index your websites and affiliate program landing pages.

Submit the affiliate program landing pages to them every two weeks to keep them in the front before them.

(6) Submit your affiliate program landing pages to book marking websites and be sure to add book-marking buttons in them so that your website visitors may book mark them and help you get exposures in the search engines.

(7) Do link exchange campaign for the affiliate program landing pages.

The more links and exposures you get in the major search engines for your affiliate program landing pages, the more traffics, sales and large amount of commissions that you would generate.

The secrets are exposure, exposure, exposure and traffics, traffics, and more traffics.

No. 17 Will Google Cash Detective Change Internet Marketing As We Know It?

Will Google Cash Detective Change Internet Marketing As We Know It?
By : Henry Johnson

Chris Carpenter, the author of Google Cash, is now working on releasing his new product Google Cash Detective. The Google Cash Detective was developed to improve Google Cash campaigns and is design to make the job of finding profitable campaigns and keywords much easier.

The Google Cash Detective will ask you to fill in an unlimited number of keywords you want to track for your business. You do not need to have any active campaigns when you do this.

Google Cash Detective then uses the keywords you have entered and monitor your competitors AdWords campaign for these keywords. If you want Google Cash to monitor your competition for the Key phrase "make money online" all you have to do is enter it, together with a list of similar keywords.

The application will then return some easy to understand analytics about the ads that are running for that key phrase. Google Cash Detective will research how long each ad is running on the site. The idea with this is that campaigns that are not profitable will be taken away, while the campaigns that make money will be kept and even moved up in the list of ads.

In addition the Google Cash Detective will also monitor how many times the ad has been displayed, and how many clicks it has received. This will help you calculate the click through rate.

You will also get the price of how much you need to pay to run the campaign. The system will tell you how much you need to pay to be in first and third position. When you know the number of clicks you get together with how much each click will cost you got a pretty accurate estimate on how much you need to invest in this advertisement.

If you are amazed by this, the Google Cash Detective does even more. It will actually find the affiliate links for you. The system returns the links that are used and shows you if they are affiliate links or not. The Google Cash Detective will also do its best to calculate if the campaign is profitable or not.

When you find a keyword that are profitable together with a successful ad somebody else has developed and makes money from, all you have to do is push the copy button. Change the links on their ad with your own, maybe edit it a little and publish it.

The headline of this article was "Will Google Cash Detective Change Internet Marketing as We Know It?" I am pretty sure it will. Read more about Google Cash Detective here and sign up for the free report with inside secrets from Chris Carpenter himself

No. 16 Average Joe Income Package Review - Great for Beginners

Average Joe Income Package Review - Great for Beginners
By : Josh Blue

In this article today, i am going to write about the Average Joe Income Package Review based on my personal experience after purchasing it.

Average Joe Income Package is one of the best work from home package that I have found on the internet. The Average Joe Income Package came into my life when I started looking for opportunities to make money on the internet a little over a year ago after I decided to finance my own university education.

Before the Average Joe Income Package, I have tried a couple of work from home packages spending over $300 for different "instant wealth package" that promised to teach me how to make money online. To my horror, most of this scams or ebooks usually contain crap information that hugely under deliver

What was useful about the Average Joe Income Package?
Then I came across the Average Joe Income Package, to be frank I was quite skeptical about the package at first, but decided to give it a try anyway. I have to admit that the Average Joe Income Package is not the most comprehensive work from home package on the market, but I was pleasantly surprise at how it was both user and information friendly for beginners who just started out on internet marketing.

Personally, as an individual who prefers to see and hear at the same time, Average Joe Income Package's step-by-step high quality video tutorials and comprehensive ebook was very effective in conveying the lessons of internet marketing to me.

Some of the more useful information taught to me from the Average Joe Income Package has to be both the article marketing and turbo blogging lessons. By applying and integrating both article marketing and turbo blogging, I was able to get my articles and website featured on the first page of major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Thus, providing me with a steady input of free traffic which generated additional income for me. All this was achieved with me not having to spend an extra dollar on other programs.

What I love about the Average Joe Income Package?
I have to give credit to the author of the Average Joe Income Package, Kris McCarty. He never fails to impress me with his fantastic 24/7 customer support. Being a beginner then, I frequently emailed Kris on some really dumb questions about internet marketing and was surprised at how much effort Kris made to ensure that all my questions were answered and how his email replies never takes more than a day.

Even till this day, his replies are still straight to the point and prompt.

Conclusion
I am glad that I have purchase the Average Joe Income Package. Although it is not the most comprehensive work from home package on the internet, it does provide very useful information for beginner to intermediate level internet marketers. So much being said, you still have to work to get anywhere with this package.

Other than the offer price of $47 that is needed for you to invest in this package, it is unlikely that you need to incur other cost for you to earn a steady income on the internet, unless if you decide to further enhance your advertisement campaigns with pay-per-click advertising.

I highly recommend you to at least check the Average Joe Income Package out to see what you think for yourselves. It does come with 8 weeks 100% money back guarantee should you decide that the package is unsuitable for you.

I hope that my Average Joe Income Package review has been useful for your reference.

No. 15 Secrets of the Little Black Dress

Secrets of the Little Black Dress
By : Marie-Therese M. Norris

Spring is here, Ladies, and the dress is back. Sexy, sassy little numbers pranced down Paris runways and right onto the racks of your local clothing stores. Their colors are bright, their patterns are geometric and they are short, short, short to show lots of long, lean leg. If you're young and have the legs for them - go for it! If not, there is still one dress that every woman, no matter her size, no matter her age, can wear to perfection - the Little Black Dress. I know, I know, I can hear you all groaning out there, but bear with me and I will reveal some of the secrets of the LBD that might just make you re-think this classic essential of the well-dressed woman's wardrobe.

No discussion of the Little Black Dress can begin without at least a quick genuflection in the direction of the tiny Frenchwoman who invented it, Gabrielle Chanel (1883-1971). Known to the world as Coco, those who worked for her during her lifetime and who work for the house of Chanel to this day refer to her in hushed tones as "Madame," in case she is listening. She started by designing hats, but soon launched her own clothing line inspired by the clothes worn by her wealthy lovers, her first financial backers. She adored the simple, clean lines and expert tailoring of men's garments, and had begun to adapt them to suit her slight frame. As a result, she virtually invented the concept of casual chic, for which every woman owes her a debt of gratitude. And the Little Black Dress would be the final metamorphosis of the black school dress uniform and white collar that she had worn as a student in a Catholic orphanage.

"So, what makes the LBD so special?" you ask, and I am so glad you did. The LBD is so special because, quite simply, it goes everywhere and does everything.

On Friday morning, It goes off to the office in a tweed jacket, cranberry scarf and black d'Orsay pumps; on Saturday afternoon it goes to check out the latest Dada retrospective at the Musée Beaubourg in a denim jacket and red kitten heels; on Saturday evening it meets that very special someone for a romantic dinner at Le Train Bleu in a creamy lace bolero and python pumps; and on Sunday afternoon it takes the train from Paris to the country for lunch with tante Germaine in a cashmere cardigan with antique buttons and grey suede T-straps.

"O.K. You've convinced me. So, how do I choose the perfect LBD for me?" you ask, and I am so glad you did. Beyond the fact that the classic LBD is sleeveless, unembellished and beautifully tailored, the secrets to choosing your perfect LBD can be broken down into the following three categories.

(1) The Sheath v. the Shift

The sheath dress is designed to show off the curves of a well-proportioned (bust to hip ratio) small-waisted woman by lightly skimming over those curves. It's your body proportion that counts here, Ladies, not your size. It should never be too tight. As my Mother always says, a dress should be tight enough to show you are a woman but loose enough to show you are a lady.

If you are larger on top (bust) or on the bottom (hip and/or thigh area), choose a sheath with an A-line skirt which floats out over the hip and thigh area, thereby balancing a larger top or camouflaging a larger bottom. In general, the A-line is the most flattering and forgiving skirt shape a woman can wear, and it looks good on everyone.

The shift dress hangs perfectly straight from the shoulders and works well for women who do not have a well-defined waist or who want to conceal a tummy. The shift dress can also have a slight A-line flair to the skirt.

(2) Neckline and Shoulders

A small, rounded neckline is the classic LBD neckline.

If you have narrow shoulders, a Bateau, or boat, neck is more flattering and the shoulder seam should fall at or slightly beyond your natural shoulder line, thereby creating the illusion of wider shoulders. A small, capped sleeve can also widen shoulders.

If you have wider shoulders and well-toned arms (Lucky You!) show them off with a shoulder seam that stops at the edge of your collar bone, inside your natural shoulder line, or go for a halter neck.

If your face and/or body are round, a square neckline adds a touch of angled geometry to your silhouette and is very elegant. By the same token, a rounded neckline softens an angular face and/or body.

If you are large busted, a V-neck will help to break up the bust line by showing more skin and opening up the décolletage area. The amount of cleavage you show is up to you!

(3) Hem Line

Madame lived to see the miniskirt of the 60's era and never missed an opportunity to voice her displeasure at the display of what she considered the least attractive part of a woman's body - her knees. Mercifully, she did not live to see the return of the miniskirt this season. While I do not share Madame's particular phobia, I do think that the perfect hem length for the LBD is mid-knee or one inch below the knee.

As to the perfect way to accessorize the LBD? I prefer the classic, clean lines of a crystal flute filled with Veuve Clicquot champagne.

And now you know everything you need to know about choosing the perfect Little Black Dress. Well, not quite. There is still one last secret to be revealed.

Since it is as much a concept as it is a dress, the Little Black Dress need not, in fact, be black at all. "Quelle horreur! What is she saying??" you are thinking. When is a Little Black Dress not a Little Black Dress? When it fits like a Little Black Dress but is in a neutral color that might just be more flattering to your skin tone. While black is definitely slimming, it is not a color which looks good on everyone and can be harsh, particularly as we age. So, why not choose a deep-hued neutral tone that might better complement your coloring - chocolate brown, warm navy or slate grey!! I own four LBDs - two are black, one is navy blue and the other is a deep hunter green, which does wonders for my red hair and ivory skin.

And now you do know everything you need to know about choosing the perfect Little Black Dress, although let's just keep that last secret between us in case Madame is listening. No doubt she is having enough trouble this season coping with the return of ladies' knees.

No. 14 The problem with vision boards

The problem with vision boards
By : Vic Ocampo

Creating your own vision board is an exciting activity but it may take a lot of effort. A vision board is a very positive tool to make your dreams come true. It is recommended that everyone should have their own vision board. Vision boards can be made from different materials; cut-outs, pictures, or just about anything that could represent what you dream about.
