Why Do Most Fail With Affiliate Programs Like SFI?

So why do most people that try to make money online with affiliate programs, like SFI, fail? This is actually a pretty simple question with a pretty simple answer. People fail online because they don't put in any effort. Too many people think they can sign up for a program and automatically they will start making money.

If it were that easy no body would be working a job. Everything you do in life requires a certain amount of work. The only people that get a free ride are spoiled children of rich parents and anyone that is trying to make money online is not a spoiled child with a free ticket. Some of life's best rewards come from the things that require the most amount of hard work.

In order to be successful online you must put in the man hours. You don't have to spend a lot of money or any money at all, if you are willing to put in the work and build your business from the ground up.

I am a member of a few affiliate programs and I only work with affiliates that are willing to put in the work. My top affiliates have all told me that they work their online business like it is a full time job. They put in the hours and they are the ones that get the results.

There is no such thing as a GET RICH SCHEME. The only way to get rich overnight is to rob a bank, win the lottery, or have a rich relative die and leave you a fortune. Chances are none of these things are going to happen to you very soon, so if you are trying to make money online and you want to be successful, you will have to start putting in the work.

I promise you that if you are willing to put in the hours of work that are necessary to be successful, and then you will become successful.

Four Fabulous Ways to Earn Six Figures

hat's one of the most common questions I'm asked by aspiring and professional writers alike. And it's an excellent question since most writers today receive absolutely no compensation for their craft.

So how do I earn money as a writer? Let me count the ways.

Well, at least four of them.

1. Sell Valuable Information

About 15 years ago, my brother and business partner, James and I published an information guide which listed all of the U.S. Army contracts for rebuilding Iran after the Persian Gulf War in the early '90s. For example, civil engineers were being offered $300,000 for an annual contract. The information was published unclassified by the U.S Federal Government, which means it was not protected by U.S. Copyright laws. That means it did not cost us a cent to acquire. We advertised in only two publications (The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times), and sold the guide for $19.99.

Thirty-six hours after the ads ran we were receiving 40-50 orders a day. It was absolutely surreal to experience $1,000 pay days for several weeks. We even had international sales primarily because these two newspapers have paid subscribers across the globe. Imagine. This was without any Internet promotion. No websites, no email ... nothing techie at all.

2. Host a Free Seminar Featuring Your Book

One of my clients recently shared how after facilitating a seminar about his book, he did over $5,700 in advance sales. And guess what? At the time of this writing, his book has yet to be printed! I share his secret and exactly how he did it in my How to be a Paid Writer e-Course

3. Say, "Pie!"

Do you like to eat? All those who do and are within two feet of these words, say, "Pie!" Apple pie A la mode, that is. My favorite. You can enjoy fabulous meals for free, plus collect a check from either a publisher or restaurant owner (or in some cases, both) just by writing about your dining experiences. This can easily become a full time vocation. I do it part time here in Arizona.

Let me tell you how it works. I walk into a restaurant and ask to speak with the owner or General Manager. After introducing myself as a food critic with eMediaCampaigns! I discuss and submit my proposal to write about my dining experience in the restaurant and publish it internationally, in exchange for my standard fee, and a complimentary meal. I not only show the owner/GM exactly how a powerful, published, positive review would look like framed in the restaurant's lobby, but how it will increase their bottom line. All General Managers see the value of my service, and not one has ever declined.

4. Become a Technical Writer

Technical writers write the information for product developers. Lots of people need help with putting what their product or business does in words. To start, you simply approach businesses, engineers, stores, libraries, organizations, financial institutions, construction companies,(the list goes on) and present your proposal.

Technical writers write in a concise and easy-to-read manner for consumer publications. When they write for the "experts" such as doctors and attorneys, they write in a highly specialized language.
OK, so what exactly do technical writers write? All types of materials, actually.
Including, codes of conducts, policies, product instructions, reference manuals, articles, project proposals, training materials, technical reports, catalogs, brochures, multimedia presentations, parts lists, assembly instructions, sales promotion materials . . . again the list go on. One of my students specializes in writing brochures for companies and makes more than $110,000 a year.

and I am an internationally recognized and award-winning writer. I am also the creator of the How to be a Paid Writer e-Course & Seminars.

Online Scams, Real World Scams, and More!

I am tired of all the claims of EASY money being made on the internet. Let me clarify something from the very beginning - nothing is easy. Creating wealth online and offline takes a lot of hard work and dedication. There are no easy ways to true wealth. Not on Wall Street, Main Street, or Cyber Street. If you are willing to work hard on any of these streets, you can make money. Let's talk about HOW.

Wall Street is never easy - watching Mad Money on CNBC will not make you rich. Doing the homework on what Cramer yipes about can help you pick winners, but the reason Cramer gives so many stocks on his 1 hour show is the same reason when I was a broker I called every 10 clients with a different stock. 1 out of 10 will hit for you... PERIOD. That means the other 9 are losing you money... so 10% of the time you are on the right side. Not good odds, but good enough to have those 10% calling Cramer a GURU!

Main Street is harder than ever. The big retailers are killing mom & pop stores everywhere. I despise Wal-Mart & never shop there. It kills me that people in our country are not smart enough to see that we are giving away so many jobs overseas so Wal-Mart can save you money on the goods you buy. The long-term ramifications of this are scary. I could spend hours on this subject, but let's just say I do not see Main Street as a great alternative these days to making real wealth, unless you are investing in Real Estate!

Let's focus in on the cyber world. I am tired of hearing "sit back & plug in this system to make $1000's per day". That is simply a lie. It is not a scam, but a lie. There are several awesome programs out here that can make you money, but you need to know how to advertise. Ezines, solo-ads, pay per click, blogging, and many other options are the way you generate traffic. Knowing exactly how to create traffic is an art form, and I am proud to say I have mastered it in a very short time.

I have had success in the 4 programs I have purchased online - but it was not as easy as it was presented to me. Each claimed buy this & you will make big money. Well big money to me may be completely different to big money to the next person. I have found that good money can be made if you know how to advertise. Through trial and error & the help of a true guru, I have the tools to generate traffic that creates income for me. Income that is secondary for the time being, especially since my full-time gig pays me well over $100k per year.

I have been in my latest opportunity 4 weeks & I have read so many articles about it being a scam. News Flash - it is not. IF you know how to work the program and how to bring targeted buyers to it, you make money. If you have no idea how to do anything on the internet, the good news is you can learn & earn. If you think you can buy something & it will just create cash for you out of thin air, then another news flash - NO CHANCE & YOU WILL CALL IT A SCAM!

My advice, money is being made out here. Tap into it with a pro. You will be happy you did. I attached myself to a pro for a small investment & my investment is paying me back everyday!

One of the programs i would highly recommend is SFI Marketing Group.Go here at: http://www.quickinfo247.com/9675386/FREE

How to Advertise Your Website on a Budget

When you are starting out in a new home business and no one knows who you are, one of the greatest challenges you will face is how to drum up new business.

If there were not people in your community or marketplace that you knew who needed your products or services, you probably would not have started your business to begin with. But, once you have talked to those who you personally knew who needed your what you offer, then your next task is to find others who will help keep your doors open.

Many people know that they must turn to advertising at some point in the future, but they hope that day will be long down the road. For some, this utopian concept will come to fruition. But for the rest of us in the real world, we must come up with creative solutions for meeting our home business advertising needs while working within our budget.

Most people have a misconception about having to spend lots of money in order to advertise their home business. When you start out, you honestly will not have much money available for advertising, and if you do, you should still spend it wisely.

Before you jump headfirst into the world of advertising, let me share some of the lessons I have learned concerning this most important topic.

LESSON 1

It does not have to cost an arm and a leg to advertise your home business, unless you fail to plan and fail to test.

As much as is possible, you should always test your advertising. If you jump in and start dumping tons of money in to advertising without first testing your advertising, you might find yourself broke and without sales at the end of the road. Most people who commit this error write off their failure on the home business they chose or the economy or any of a hundred other excuses. But, if they are unwilling to take responsibility for their mistake, they will never learn from their mistake. Don't let this be you.

LESSON 2

All testing should be done in blocks. If you begin to advertise simultaneously in newspapers, radio and television, how will you know which advertising is bringing people to your cash register? You won't. All you will know that something might be working, but you will not know what is actually doing the trick.

Even if you tell people in your advertising to tell you how they found you, my experience shows that fewer than 10% of the people ever will tell you anything --- and those people who do may not even get the facts straight! You cannot rely on your customers to tell you what advertising is working for your home business. You must put in the extra effort to know for yourself.

LESSON 3

Only when you have a proven and solid advertising portfolio should you venture to drop big bucks in an advertising campaign. Even then, you should be careful to keep further measurements to determine how much the maximum advantage of an ad would be. Sometimes you might be able to reach ten times as many people, but depending on the kind of media and other factors, the additional exposure will only generate twice as many sales. Keep your eye attuned to situations like this to get the most from your advertising dollars.

LESSON 4

As Lesson 3 illustrates, sometimes your best advertising investment may actually cost you less money. When you are first starting out, whether you are running a home business or a business outside of your home, you need to be able to get people talking and thinking about your business.

If you are busy testing ads in media's such as the newspaper, magazines, radio, and television, you need to learn ways of promoting your business that do not require large cash expenditures. A few examples are:

· Word of Mouth · Business Cards · Press Releases · Non-Primetime Ads on Radio and Television

Here is more information about each type of low-cost advertising:

WORD OF MOUTH

This of course is the cheapest kind of advertising on the planet --- it does not cost you anything. Ask your customers if they know anyone who could also use your products or services. When they are happy with your offerings and service, they will be willing to tell you whom you can contact, and they will pass the word for you.

BUSINESS CARDS

You can usually pick up 500 business cards for about $20. When you do, hand them out. Do not give more than a couple of cards to each person. If they need more cards from you, they will ask.

Some people are known to network with others on a regular basis. Some of these people are also known to be always looking for an extra few bucks. With these people, you can suggest to them that if they write their name on the back of one of your business cards and the card is presented to you, then you will pay a referral fee to them. You do not have to offer much --- sometimes one dollar is enough. Look at your home business and your offerings and decide how much would be a good referral fee.

PRESS RELEASES

Press Releases are a good source for generating news about your home business. The business editor at your local newspaper is always on the lookout for a good business story to fill the business news section of the newspaper.

Of course, the business editor understands the economics of running a paper and is more inclined to run your story if you buy advertising in his/her publication, but will still print stories for special events and openings.

The important thing to remember about Press Releases is that it must be constructed in the form of a news story. Even if you are a sole proprietorship, quotes from you should be written in a third person format: John Doe said, "Your quote here."

A Press Release should pack the most important information at the beginning of the copy, and leave extra details towards the end.

You should always provide the reporter who gets the task a simple and easy way for him/her to contact you directly. Often the reporter will want to contact you to get details that will enhance their take on your story.

To learn more about creating Press Releases, you may check out Rusty Cawley's site: http://www.PRrainmaker.com/

NON-PRIMETIME ADS ON RADIO AND TELEVISION

Believe it or not, some of the best rates for radio and television are on the overnight and non-primetime venues. These target times are not a total waste as they can easily keep the infomercial people in business.

These off-hours are just less populated than the primetime hours.

Don't be afraid to check your local radio and television rates for non-primetime hours to see what bargains may exist. With television, primetime is 7pm to 10pm. With radio, primetime is 8am to 5pm. This sure leaves a whole lot of hours available to advertise your home business at discount rates!

IN CONCLUSION

When it comes down to it, there is a lot to understand about advertising, but when you have the basic knowledge down pat, everything will fall into place and bring more dollars to your bank account.

Find a Free Work at Home Business

You have decided to try earning a little extra money via the Internet. You have heard success stories from other entrepreneurs, but you do not have enough capital to invest in merchandise. You need to find a free work at home business.

To begin, you will need a web site, an idea, and a willingness to spend some time getting your business up and running. If you have Internet access, you can generally set up a web site through your provider. I can help you with a couple of free ideas. However, unless you have a willingness to work hard, and spend a lot of time on your personal success, you cannot make a go of it, even if the business is free.

First, you will need a web site. Your web site is where the customers will come to purchase your goods or services. If you do not already know, check with your Internet service provider. Chances are you are already paying for space to set up your own site, as part of your Internet access, so the site is a free perk.

Okay, now here comes a difficult part. Unless you have the knowledge to build your own site, you are going to need some help. Three ways are available: free tutorial sites for building a website, trading your goods or services for someone to help build your site, and free online courses.

If you are patient, a quick learner, and have a little knowledge about computers, you can find tutorials on the web, to help you build your site. The tutorials will take you step by step through the process of building your site. Personally, I find the process totally frustrating because I want to get my site up and start populating it with information as soon as possible. So, I choose the second and third options.

As a writer, I have had a client who is also a computer programmer. Lucky me! So, I traded him some articles for his web sites, and he has helped me build my site. I must admit, my profession has made it easier to trade my services. So, it depends on what you want to do with your business.

Join some blogs. Let other people know what your business entails, and put some feelers out. You may find someone who needs what you offer, and will gladly help you get the basics of your site ready for potential traffic.

If not, an excellent third option is also available: free online classes. For example, The Internet Business School offers free classes to individuals like you and I, who want to work from home. Not only do they offer a variety of courses in how to accomplish your goal, the Internet successful instructors offer live instruction on what is needed to give your site the greatest opportunity for consumer traffic and ultimate success.

In addition to how to set up your site, the FREE classes will also help you determine how to select your ultimate business. For example, do you want to sell a product, but you do not want to deal with the issue of inventory and mailing? Maybe a drop shipping business is right for you. In essence, your site will sell someone else’s product, and you receive a commission on the sales.

Maybe you want to help consumers find what they need on the Internet. Your site could be dedicated to affiliate programs from a variety of businesses. Basically, your site links to others through logos and other advertising. If a consumer finds and purchases a product through your affiliate site, you will get a percentage of the sales.

Like me, maybe you have a degree, such as graphics or English, and you want to offer your services. Opportunities are also available for you to use your knowledge and work from home. Again, free online classes can help you learn how to let people know about your site and what services you can provide, which will cost you nothing but your time and a little hard work, which brings us to the last point.

You can start and online business for little to no money out of pocket. But, forget the get-rich-quick schemes. As Mama says, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” So, if you want to be a success, you need to make the effort.

Personally, I started working from home as a writer, simply as a means of earning a little extra money in the evenings without having to leave my kids. Although the thought has crossed my mind, I never really anticipated working from home full-time. However, even through the vastness of the Internet, if you provide a good and honest service, the news travels.

Now, eighteen months later, I have been able to quit my other job, and I work from home. As a single parent, my work is a perfect fit. Granted, not everyone has the ability to write. However, there is a plethora of opportunities for data entry, and other jobs, if you can type. Take the time to look around. Make sure the business opportunity is legitimate and honest. Then, like me, you will be well on your way to earning a little, or a lot, of extra money once you find a free work at home business.I would recommend these two programs SFI MARKETING GROUP: http://www.quickinfo247.com/9675386/FREE

Earn Extra Cash From Home With This Amazing Strategy

Do you have more time than cash, and are willing to put your time to good use? Then you should pay close attention to this surefire tip that will help you earn extra cash from home. You will find this easy to start and even easier to maintain, because you will not have to do anything to maintain it once it is up and running.

A few months ago I decide to take a closer look at the idea of earning money using domain names. Yes, I have seen many references to this but I never took the time to examine this in any detail. Well! I'm glad I did and I am here to share my research with you.Domain names are available from two basic sources. You can buy a domain name that has never been used before, or get one that has expired because the original owner either forget about it, died, or is not interested anymore. Getting an original domain name that has never been used before is difficult as you can imagine, but it is not impossible.

The benefit of getting a domain name that was previously registered is the possibility of getting residual traffic from the domain because of previous incoming links to that domain. These sites will cost you more to register, but if you can get a suitable one from one of the sites that sell them, it could turn out to be very lucrative for you.

To earn cash from home using a domain name, you can do the following: Get a suitable type-in domain name, register it, and then park it at one of the many sites that will host parked domain names for you. You will then share the revenue that your domain generates through the search engines. Your only cost for doing this will be the cost of buying the domain name which can be had for under $2.00 from yahoo or under $8.00 from godaddy.

This can be a lucrative strategy but you must get a few things right. These are the steps that you should take in order to earn extra cash from this venture, and build a nice little nest egg of residual income:

1. Research type-in phrases that people use on the net. A type-in phrase is a phrase that someone will type directly into a browser, not a search engine. An example would be shoppingtriptonewyork. You will assume that the search engine will give you the .com TLD or extension, for that site, so some people do not even type the extension.

As you can summarize from the above example, the person may want to know what to look for if he or she should decide to take a shopping trip to New York. So instead of typing anything else in a search engine, the user "tries his luck" so to speak, hoping that there is a website with the exact name and information that he has entered into the browser.

To research the name, use the inventory.overture.com site to find how many times your phrase may have been entered into a browser or search engine. Do not forget that there can be dashes (-) between words as well if the phrase is too long. An example of that one might be game-show-hosts. Now that you have found a phrase that has some traffic or searches, you will want to see if it is registered. Any registrar, such as godaddy or 1and1 will give you that information. Let us move on to your next task.

2. Now you want to register the name that you have found. You can use the same registrar you used to research the name to register the same name. This can be very inexpensive. I have registered names for under 2 dollars for a whole year!

3. Now you are ready to park the domain. There are many good domain parking facilities. Your best bet will be to do a search for domain parking in order to find a good one. You will also want to choose at least three (3) keyword or phrases that will drive traffic to your new domain name. To do this, think about what people are looking for when they type in your domain name. Expand on that phrase or find a suitable synonym.

Once you have parked the name, you can read the tutorials from the domain parking service to see how you can help them to optimize the page that was created for your domain name. You can do several things to help drive traffic to the site, but these must fall within the terms of service of the site that is hosting your domain name.

Now, since you want to earn extra cash from home using this facility, you will want to make sure that you do nothing to violate the terms of service. Your free domain host will be driving traffic to your parked domain, and share the revenue with you. If you earn only 5 bucks a month from this site, you will have made a profit of $52.00 per year or over 650%. Now think of what would happen if you had 200 of those sites paying you 650% a year in profit? There are people who have hundreds of these domain names and this is how the earn extra cash from them.

Advanced Ways to Make Money with Product Launching

Advanced Ways to Make Money with Product Launching

If you have a product that needs launching--whether it’s an old one you are taking over or a new one--you can give it a proper send-off with the proper steps. Fast product launching need not be difficult, but it will require planning.

The first thing you will need to do is think ahead. You should make sure that you have press releases written, articles covered, photographs taken, etc., months in advance. Even if you have to change one or two small details on the information as the time approaches, you will have a lion’s share of the work already done.

You should also have some ideas lined up for continued advertising through blogs, forums, chat rooms, etc. Also have all your printed advertising and information packets ready to go a couple weeks ahead of time. Have a press kit ready and put the finishing touches on it a few days before your confirmed product launch. Fast product launching is often simply a matter of planning.

Also make sure you have a backup plan for all your promotions. If you have an appearance scheduled at a mall, for instance, be prepared with an alternate date in case your product misses its cue. Sometimes these tings happen through no fault of yours, and you should be ready.

Make sure that all different media are covered when you make your initial launch. Fast product launching often depends on hitting all media--send out the pre-production press releases to all media, get radio and television spots done ahead of time, and have printed advertising ready to go. Leave nothing to chance.

How To Make A Living Selling Other People's Products:

If you want to start your own Internet-based home business but don’t have your own products, don’t want to earn petty affiliate commissions, and are sick and tired of network marketing, then choosing a “reseller” type of Internet business model may be what you’re looking for.

Unlike affiliate programs where you get paid a commission for any successful sale or sign-up you refer, a reseller business opportunity is starkly different and, in some cases, more profitable. It’s all about securing the resell rights to someone else’s product and then selling it to your own market or list to make 100% profit. In many ways, reselling other people’s products is much less risky too, provided you know exactly what you’re doing.

In Part One of this article, we discuss the logic behind the business model itself and how to get started with the right tools, the right knowledge and the pitfalls to avoid.

How Does a Reseller Business Work?

When you really think about it, there are many traditional businesses that have their foundations in reselling other people’s product or service. Take K-mart for example: all they do is secure the rights to sell someone’s products, stock them up, and sell them. The same concept applies to marketing both tangible and digital products on the Internet. You buy the rights to an e-book someone wrote and you can sell it legally for maximum profit.

Here are some advantages of having your own reseller business:

  • Faster start-up – creating products can take weeks, months or even years. If you sell someone else’s stuff, you can get started overnight.
  • Less risk – If you buy the rights to a hot-selling product, the question of whether it will have a demand or not is rendered irrelevant. You’re just left with the task of finding the buyers and taking their money.
  • More flexibility – experts can only sell on their specialized industry. A reseller can buy into different markets anytime to capitalize of current trends.

But just like K-mart, Borders, Amazon, and a host of other existing reseller businesses, the only way to hit the jackpot instead of barely scraping through is to have your own unique positioning, or as it’s called in the marketing world, your USP or Unique Selling Proposition. We’ll get to that later…

Tools Of The Trade

To have an autopilot, successful reseller business, you need the correct tools. Here are the bare necessities:

Sequential E-mail Autoresponder – If you don’t want to get tied down by doing routine follow-ups with prospects, the solution is to get a reliable autoresponder. If you don’t know what it is, a sequential autoresponder is a software program that will send pre-written email messages and pre-determined intervals to your prospects.

As the general rule of thumb, most people will need to see your message at least seven times to trust you and order from you. You can always hire a programmer to install an autoresponder script for you, but from my personal experience it’s better to outsource this function. Keeping up with regulations and side-stepping unpredictable email-blocking software by ISPs should be left to people who make a living doing just that. Some of the better ones available as a software solution are:

http://www.AWeber.com/?282249
http://www.EmailAces.com
http://www.Getresponse.com/index/lambs123

Advanced Shopping Cart – If you plan to sell multiple resell rights products, then you can go crazy just keeping track of everything. You’ll need an advanced shopping cart that not only allows you to manage your product inventory, but also allow you to create cross-selling and up-selling functions easily. If possible it should also give you advanced features like download page protection, coupon and discounting systems, automatic shipping calculator and other useful feature. An example of a good investment would be http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?pr=1&id=110081.

Credit Card Processor – To accept payment online, just having a Paypal or Stormpay account doesn’t quite cut it. You’ll need your own processors, and good ones are available from http://www.2checkout.com, http://www.Worldpay.com, and a host of others for reasonable fees.

Ad Tracking Software – To measure exactly which of your marketing campaigns turn to cash, you need an ad tracker. This should come with your shopping cart system or autoresponder or both. Avoid paying for a dedicated ad tracking software if you can, because quite honestly it’s just a simple program that is sometimes over-hyped and over charged on the Internet.

Complete Web Hosting – As your reseller business grows, you’ll find the growing need to use third-party software and custom programming, so make sure you have all the basic standards covered: PHP, CGI, Perl, MySQL and Apache. Ask your Web host if these are already provided in your account. If it’s not, you may want to consider getting a “reseller Web hosting” account and resell the extra bandwidth as well.

Understanding Resell Rights

When purchasing a resell rights product, make sure you understand exactly what type of license it provides. Here are the basic four levels of rights you can obtain:

Level 1 = Resell Rights - You obtain the right to sell the product yourself, but you cannot allow your customers to sell it. If your customers want to sell the same product they need to purchase their own rights from the original author or publisher.

Level 2 = Master Resell Rights - You obtain the right to sell the product yourself, and your immediate customers can sell it as well. This goes down only two levels, and your customer’s customer does not have the right to resell the product. They should buy the rights from you.

Level 3 = Generic Resell Rights - Anyone who owns the product can sell the product and also sell the resell rights to the product.

Level 4 = Customization Rights - Customize, re-brand, or repackage the product. There are many levels to how much customization can be made, some even offering to replace their name with yours.

Here’s an illustration that will make it clearer for you:

In the Level 1 rights, notice that the owner or publisher can choose to sell basic Resell Rights to anyone he chooses. The customers who bought them now become Resell Rights Holders, and they can in turn sell the product to any end customer they want.

In the Level 2 rights, if you buy a Master Resell Rights from the owner, you can sell the product to the end customer directly, or you can sell basic Resell Rights to another business owner who can sell it to the end customer. A Resell Rights holder cannot sell the rights to the product at all. In Level 2, a Master Resell Rights Holder cannot directly sell Master Resell Rights; only the owner or publisher of the product can do this.

In a Level 3 type of Generic Resell Rights, anyone who buys the product can resell both the product itself, and the resell rights included, to unlimited levels deep. In this scenario as long as you have bought the product, you are given the rights to resell it. Generic Resell Rights are usually inseparable from the product itself; you cannot sell the product and the rights as two different packages.

Who does the customer buy from? In the illustration above, you’ll note that the end customer can buy from:

  1. The Owner / Publisher
  2. The Resell Rights Owner
  3. The Master Resell Rights Owner
  4. The Generic Resell Rights Owner

By offering a Generic Resell Rights, however, the owner makes both basic Resell Rights and Master Resell Rights redundant. Beware of sites that want to sell you Master Resell Rights when the product itself already comes with Generic Resell Rights, since this makes no sense at all.

Avoiding The Common Pitfalls

If you want to avoid stumbling into Reseller Hell, there are a few things you should check, double-check and triple check to make sure you’ve nailed it down.

Does the product have any real value? – Recently a lot of junk software and e-books are starting to clutter the market with one thing in common - they all come with master resell rights. Most of these products are low-quality sorry excuses for content or usability and the only reason they’re being sold in the first place is the irresistible notion that you own the rights to sell the product yourself. Go to Ebay and for less than five bucks you can buy over 500 products with resell rights. Doesn’t sound right, does it? A lot of authors also use it as a marketing ploy to spread their own name to all four corners of the Web.

Are people giving it away for free? – I once made the mistake of buying a resalable product only to realize that others are giving it away for free as a subscription bonus. If someone can get it fro free, why would they want to buy from you? This usually happens when the original author, either intentionally or by innocence, fails to specify any terms and conditions.

Does the product seller have resell rights? – Just because the owner of the Website claims that he does, it doesn’t mean that you should take his word. Check with the original publisher or author to determine if the seller owns the rights, and what type of rights he own.

Is the product compatible with your market? – If you focus on the golf market, buying the rights to an Internet marketing product will only spread your operations thinner and rob the overall Unique Selling Proposition of your business. Instead, focus only on buying the rights to related or complimentary products.

Are you selling the correct rights? – Based on the section above about types of resell rights, are you making the correct claim? For example, if you purchase master resell rights you can only sell basic resell rights to your customers. You cannot sell master resell rights yourself – only the original creator or publisher can do that.

Are the terms reasonable? – Some authors only allow you to sell their product as a standalone item, whereas others allow you to package or bundle it in any way you see fit. Some authors set a minimum selling price or standard selling price, others don’t. Read the terms to see if it’s reasonable before you buy the resell rights.

Do you have an inventory system? – Imagine if K-mart employees had to rely on their experience and instincts to tell you if a certain product is available and you get the picture. Keeping an inventory list of the name of the product, author, original selling price, recommended selling price, terms and conditions and other information will not only save loads of time, it will also help you sell better. Organize your collection into categories, sub-categories even as bundled packages. As mentioned above, a smart shopping cart system like www.1shoppingcart.com can help you do this, albeit to a certain extent.

In part 2 of this article, we discuss how to find the “diamond” resalable product, and how to create advanced product packages.

How to Sell Affiliate Products Part I

If you know how to sell affiliate products then you have an almost limited source of material to sell, and there is also no restriction on how much you can sell at any one time.

Affiliate products can be sold individually, from individual minisites, or in bulk from large affiliate showcase pages. Groups of similar products can be sold together, or you can feature a number of products that complement each other without providing the same information. Whatever method you use, the most important aspect of affiliate marketing is advertising.

You might argue that advertising is the most important part of any form of marketing, but with affiliate products the situation is different. You are advertising the product, but are not trying to sell it! That sounds a bit converse, but it is true. While you do the advertising, the merchant who owns the product does the actual selling.

Your advertising should be designed to send the prospect to the merchant’s sales page, and it is then the merchant that looks after the persuading, the taking of the order and the payment and also, you will be pleased to know, the handling of any complaints.

Many affiliates try to send the respondents to their adverts directly to the merchant’s website, but the most successful affiliate marketers have their own website. With your own website you are not restricted to pay-per-click campaigns, and you have to keep in mind that Google allow only one advert in their Adsense program for each search term (keyword) that is sent directly to the merchant’s domain.

You can send the respondents to your advert either to a squeeze page or a preselling page. On the squeeze page you first persuade the prospect to give you their name and email address, and then you can send them to the presales page. That is a page where you try to ‘presell’ the product by providing a positive review of it, or a list of testimonials, that convinces the prospect that the product does what it says it does. If that is your landing page, be sure to collect the name and address before you send them off to the merchant’s website.

How to Sell Affiliate Products Part II

It is criminal to allow a visitor to your website to leave without leaving their details so that you can keep in touch. You can do this by means of an opt-in form on the page or on an exit pop-up. Even better is to use both. Although many people don’t like pop-ups, the incontrovertible proven fact is that they work! What you must not do is provide a link to the product, then send the prospect from your presales page to a squeeze page. The likely result will be a lost visitor.

You must provide visitors with what you tell them they are getting. This is true in all forms of internet marketing: never have a button saying ‘Click here for more information’ then send them to a page saying ‘Leave your email address here’. Get the latter first, and then send them to the sales page for the product. The merchant will look after the rest, such as the product description, the all-important benefits and the free bonuses that go with the product.

There is no reason why you should not offer a free bonus for filling in the opt-in form. That’s fine, but once that has been done get them to the merchants page pronto. After all, that is what they are there for. You have advertised a product and they have made the click for more information on it. If you really want to increase your sales, buy the product yourself (or if you are lucky, persuade the merchant to give you a copy for review) and then review it.

Make your advert the offer of a free review of the best dongles, and then give 5 stars to the ones you are promoting as an affiliate. The link from there will be to the merchant’s site. Not directly from the Adwords or Yahoo S.M. advert, but from your own web page that has been designed to provide some information on the product prior to the main sales pitch.

That is how to sell affiliate products. Advertise, opt-in form, review or write-up then straight to the merchant’s site. You then concentrate on the next products you want to add to your portfolio while the merchant’s do the hard work.

Of course today with the tools available like spell check, grammar check etc, it makes it a lot easier. In fact it's possible to earn good money doing Type At Home jobs on line.Another misconception is that Type At Home jobs are scams.

In fact I have a separate Type At Home web page whereby I highlight what in my opinion are the best and most popular Type At Home programs.

I also like to emphasize making sure that whichever Type At Home company you decide to join has a money back guarantee for your protection. I believe any good company should offer this if they are worth their salt.

Type At Home is one of the more popular home based business opportunities as it is very low-cost to get started. I have included a list of equipment that you will need to start below:

Computer
Access to Internet
Printer

How Can Affiliate Marketing Benefit You?

Today, many are participating in affiliate marketing programs. Some even work it as a full time job. Not to mention, there isn't a whole lot of effort that has to be put forth as the one in this business markets other people's products. Countless amounts of money and precious time are not lost trying to create a product since the affiliate marketer can just jump in and begin the process of gaining massive exposure - even overnight.

The way affiliate marketing works is that a person signs up under a program, and upon sign up, he is given a link to market to the public. He can choose to put it in the resource box of articles, place it in ads on ad traffic sites, market it in traffic exchanges, and much more.

When a person clicks the link and purchases the products being advertised, the affiliate is getting a commission for each sale. there is software set in place that keeps track of how many sales he makes through the use of an ID number. The link that is supplied to the affiliate marketer is attached to that ID which is useful for tracking sales so the owner of the program will be able to give him his cut. Each time a person clicks the link and purchases, that is credit given to the marketer which then converts to money in his pocket!

Countless people have profited quite well as some affiliate marketing programs provide streams of residual income. What happens is that the affiliate marketer will be given a referral link along with a replicated site in some cases, and then he will have to market his link to the public to see how many sign ups he can attain. When he actually gets someone to sign up under him, he gets a commission, and then he gets money each month thereafter as the sign up pays to continue to be a member of the program. Sign ups are tracked through an affiliate ID similar to that of the tracking of sales enabling the affiliate to get his monthly commissions.

Most people in the affiliate marketing industry just set it and forget it. What this means is that they set up some ads for their affiliate link, and then they sit back and watch the traffic role in. They also put auto responders in place to follow up with clients so they won’t have to. Aside from putting up some ads here and there and answering occasional customer questions, the affiliate market’s main role is to check his email for stats to see how much prophet he is bringing in. There is totally no better way to gain great profit as it’s done practically on autopilot!

Are You Ready To Use Blogs To Build Your Online Empire?

Blogs are the internet vehicles most used for generating income these days, whether you are building a web presence for adsense revenue, affiliate income or both. One reason they are so popular is the ease with which you can set one up. Many people who started blogging a while ago, started at Blogger.com (owned by Google) and it still is a valuable place to start.

Blogging For Free With Blogger.com And Wordpress.com

It takes only a few minutes to set up a blog at either Blogger.com or Wordpress.com. One of the best things about these two blogs, is that they are free and require little in the way of technical knowledge. So there is no reason not to get started right away at whatever level you are at.

Personalize Your Blog Easily

You can choose a template that comes with Blogger and then all you have to do is write a post. It is even easy to add images to your posts or change font size, bold certain words, make links to other sites and more.

Host Your Own Blog

But for those with more experience or an adventurous spirit, the next step is to get your own hosting and install your own wordpress blogs. The important thing to remember is to get hosting with c-panel, that includes fantastico to help you with a simple installation of Wordpress.

Post, Post And Post Again

Now that you have a blog setup, the one most important thing you can do, is to post on a regular basis, preferably daily or even twice a day. That doesn't mean you have to write a 600 to 700 word article each time you post. In fact, you can take one post and split it up into two or three parts and post them with the note attached that the next part will be put up later. Soon the spider bots of Google will be visiting your site often. And of course that is what we are aiming for.

Let Your Personality Shine Through

Blogs have a personal aspect that regular websites don't necessarily have, that is you almost expect blogs to be more personal and to reflect the personality of the blogger. So people are used to seeing opinions in blog articles, which is good, because you can give your opinion as a review for products you are going to promote. This can be true whether you are using your blogs for affiliate products or adsense. If you are doing comparison reviews, make sure you put the reviews on their own page, one page, one review. And keep in mind these don't have to be lengthy posts.

Blogging To The Bank 2.0 And Other Online Educational Material

This is just a short summary, there are many ebooks and sites out there that explain all the ins and outs of blogging. Even if you are a beginner, but want to learn all about how to make money with blogs, there is a new ebook out called "Blogging To The Bank" . It is totally comprehensive when it comes to setting up a blogging network.

There are complete instructions for setting up your blogging empire, even a section on setting up hosting, how to set up wordpress on it and much more. People just getting started or even those who have been around online for a while have so much to learn.

Selecting Your Market

The hardest part of this whole process appears to be the research of markets for items to sell or that adsense is paying for. Don't expect to put up something totally obscure and without a market and make money. At the same time, if your topic has a massive market with equally massive publishers, you might have to work extremely hard to get your product in front of that market. It is all about finding the right keywords and the right market.

Your job is to entertain or at least, keep your vistors coming back on a regular basis. Only you can determine if you are doing your job properly by tracking the results of your efforts. PLR articles are a great way to get good content for your blog, whether you are putting up those sites for affiliate marketing or for adsense or both.

If you are really in a bind for an appropriate article, there are places like ezine articles.com that you can grab a relevant article to post on your blog, just make sure you don't change it and be sure to post the author's resource box.

Of course, once you get visitors coming to your blog, one of the best places to get content that you don't have to write yourself is by getting them to write their comments on your blogs. The longer you can keep people on your site, the more likely they are to click on an adsense ad or an affiliate link.

So, get out there and start your blogging empire.

All new and experienced affiliates need someplace to go to get the information that is vital to their success online in Affiliate Marketing. Wealthy Affiliate is just that sort of place. For additional information check out Are You A Wealthy Affiliate?. Affiliate Marketing is a great business for those who find the key.

One guy Rob Benwell has uses blogging to his advantage and has already made a fortune, Rob Benwell was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of college and was getting deep into debt.

He was trying all the techniques the gurus tell you and wasn't getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money using simple blogs.

last year he shared his secrets with the world in his highly successful Blogging To The Bank ebook. Tons of people got rich from using these techniques.

He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik Silver's underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground strategies.

Now the techniques used in that ebook are showing there age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where blogging to the bank 2 comes into play.

Well this ebook is full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything's explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out.

I got hold of an advanced copy of the book for a much higher price than what it actually sells for and it has been worth every single cent!. Within a couple of hours I had made a nice little profit.

Blogging To The Bank 2 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online.

Top 10 Tips to Guaranteed Targeted Traffic

Increasing targeted traffic to your website is one of the easiest ways to boost your online productivity. Here are the top 10 effective strategies that will help you accomplish that:

1. Optimize Your Website

While SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a full-time career option, you can either hire an expert to do this or follow the suggestions below and get the ball rolling yourself -

a) Select Your Keywords Wisely - Keywords are the phrases people use to search and come to your website, thereafter, hire your services or buy your products. The trick is to find keywords that are highly relevant to what you offer and popular enough that your target audience will use in search engines, but not so competitive that you can't rank well using them. (Tip: GoodKeywords.com provides a free keyword tool to help you get started. Find your ‘magic’ keywords and use them to build your website content!)

b) Create Your Meta Tags - One of the methods search engines use to evaluate and read your website is known as 'Meta tags.' Make sure you include your keywords, website title and description in meta tags in the source code of each of your web pages.

c) Create an SEO Friendly Website - Avoid bandwidth-hogging flash animations, fancy graphics or "alt" tags in HTML for pictures. Not only will this slow down your website's loading speed, search engines bots will also find it difficult to read, index, and rank your web pages.

d) Get Links to Your Sites - Create a ‘Links’ or ‘Resources’ page and add links to good, relevant websites. This makes search engines think that your site provides valuable information and it should, therefore, appear high in search engine results.

2. Submit Your Website to Search Engines

Don’t wait for search engine robots or spiders to find you. Instead, go ahead and submit your website to major search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Dmoz etc. and remember to do this regularly!

3. Use PPC Advertising

The best PPC (Pay-Per-Click) programs are offered by Google and Yahoo respectively, called Adwords and Overture. It’s usually pretty tough getting top rankings in the search engines in a short period of time, but it can be very easy to get on the first page of results quickly enough, with a PPC campaign. A PPC campaign can be started with a very small investment and you retain full control over your budget. You only pay when someone clicks on your ad that takes them to your website.

4. Swap Ads with other Ezines

It's a good idea to swap ads or links with other ezine publishers in your niche. These can be real ads, testimonials about your niche, or recommendations within the content of an ezine itself. Also, consider buying some ad space in ezine publications in your niche that have a large circulation. Always run an ad for at least 3 consecutive issues in order to get the best results.

5. Give Away Freebies

Everyone loves freebies and people will even come to your site just to check what you are giving away. So keep in mind to include a free eBook, a time bound discount coupon, a prize for every X-th visitor, etc. on your website. You can also partner with other JV (Joint Venture) sites where you can offer free products and get people to your own website. Make sure you capture your visitor’s name and email address using opt-in form so that you could easily follow up with them later. Remember, 'the money is in the size of your list.'

6. Become a Guru

Other than freebies, people love free advice! So find sites where you're allowed to answer questions, and then take some time off to provide detailed answers to each one of them. Become an expert in your niche, and with every answer you give or every solution you provide, don’t forget to add your website URL at the end.

7. Participate in Discussion Forums

Participating in forums, blogs, and discussion groups is yet another fantastic idea to drive targeted traffic to your site. Check to see if you can offer any advice or make valuable suggestions in forum threads. Always remember to provide your website URL at the bottom of each post you make. Each forum may have its own set of rules about promoting your website, so make sure you carefully read and follow their terms and conditions to avoid being accused of spamming.

8. Submit Articles

This is actually the most genuine and effective technique to getting targeted traffic to your website. Write articles that come under your niche, embed your website link within, and submit the articles to online article directories. Articles with quality content and information tempt readers to click-thru to your site, in the hope of getting more advice or tips. Once prospects reach your website, they're also exposed to the products and services you offer - which can sometimes result in many sales for you!

9. Write A Press Release

Write a press release about your business and circulate it in the local media, online news sites and RSS. Be careful not to make it sound like an advertisement, though. For more information about press releases promotion, check out http://www.prweb.com/pressreleasetips.php

10. Online Networks

There are many sites today where you can network online. These networks usually have groups which you can belong to and post articles and comments. Some good examples would be adlandpro.com, ryze.com, ecademy.com, directmatches.com and linkedin.com to name a few. They work pretty much the same as discussion forums where you can post your articles, and comments, or discuss general issues with others. Many online networking sites offer you an individual page on the network where you can advertise what you have to offer and include a link to your website.

To conclude, these 10 tips of driving targeted traffic are tried-and-tested, meaning they do work. So put in some hard work and give it time... then watch your traffic grow by leaps and bounds!

Would you like to Make Money Online?

If you answered yes to the above question, then you really need to take a look at the below statistics - the numbers amazed even me!



There was an important news story recently, that never made the 6 o'clock News or the front pages - but it has fundamental implications for the future of online business.



Hidden away was the news that spending on Internet advertising is going to exceed 10 Billion Dollars this year, for the first time ever. The actual figure for the year is over $13 billion, and roughly translated into real money that’s £7.5 Billion.



Why is this important and what’s this got to do with your home-based online business?



Let me put this in perspective. In 1999, at the height of the dot com boom, spending on internet advertising reached $4.2 Billion - so we're now at three times the spending of the dot com boom! This is dramatic news. We'll look back on these years and realise we’re living through the real internet revolution, right now!



The possibilities this offers your online business are tremendous. The downside is that many people are going to get left behind, because they realised too late... that in 2005 and early 2006... it's absolutely essential that your business is also an Online Internet Business.



Internet sales are increasing as a result of this advertising as well, which wasn’t necessarily the case with the dot com boom!



To give you an example of why this is the case, rather than fight my way into town by car or sit on a congested train yesterday... I sat back, made myself a cup of tea and did a little online shopping. I actually found some great deals online, and when delivery is free, you can often buy more than you’d otherwise buy!



But here’s where it gets interesting... This week, I’ve also bought (online) a spare part for a car (needed urgently by a family member and delivered the next day), a dressing gown (present), some envelopes, a new door bell, two new detail sanders (for the guys currently working on my house), some software, and a new road map for the car.



Now, I could easily have popped into town and collected all these presents, parts or items, but the point is that I didn't. And, if the companies I bought from didn’t have an Online Business, they simply wouldn’t have received that sale from me.



On the face of it, one sale may not seem very important, but if you look at today’s society - where no-one has the time to stop in the street and complete a survey (yes I’m guilty of that too), no-one has the time for lunch, and everything must be 'quick', 'now' and 'instant'... you simply have to offer a painless, quick and instant Online Business service if you want to survive.



Problem: People have no time to shop. Solution: Offer a way in which people can buy from you 24 hours a day, and from the comfort of their own home.



When you do, I guarantee that your online business will experience phenomenal growth. All you need is a half-decent website and the correct marketing strategy behind you.

Make Money Online

“Did you know that it's ok to have and make money... Online?”

This week, I'm going to provide you with some excellent online business tips that will help any business, and also I’ll tell you a story about an e-mail that I received this week.

Firstly, on New Year's Eve I met a friend of a friend... We were allowed by our respective partners to talk business for an hour over dinner! In all seriousness, we'd spoken before, but this was the first time that we'd met in person so we had our excuses...

Anyway, he has a similar background to myself - he's a normal person just like you and me... But, he decided one day that the office and a 9-5 job just wasn't what he wanted to do for the rest of his working life. The result of this decision was that he refinanced his house and set-up his very own landscape gardening business in his local area.

He told me that one day it just hit him - out of the blue. He realised that he only had one shot at this life and he hated what he was doing at the time... and he wanted to make more money… And I could certainly relate to that!

His business has been going for over one year now, but he did confess that 2006 was going to be a make or break year for him in terms of purely finance... And as we talked more it became obvious to me that for the immediate future he needed to target very specific 'contracts' that would bring his business a residual income for the entire year or perhaps longer.

In the past, he'd been dropping a simple leaflet through doors, or letters to the bigger clients - and we talked about what the leaflets and letters contained. They were good in content, but I suggested that he needed to stand out from his competition by offering something in addition to the service that everyone was offering. i.e. to maintain your garden for £x every month.

So, with my internet marketing hat firmly on and in place, I suggested that he offer something free - as an additional bonus for winning the contract. Something that would encourage the potential client to become a paying client... (A sound Internet Marketing and Online Business development strategy)...

I told him that he needed to focus on his customer - what do they want from a landscape gardener? What are they really looking for? It's not primarily cost, but something to make you stand out from the competition.

He told me that potential clients were often unsure as to the quality of the job or whether gardeners could be trusted. Well, this was it... this was the 'clincher' that I was looking for...

He's since added a few testimonial quotes to his sales letter and is now offering a 'first month free' service to all maintenance contracts signed in January. Of course, he's adjusted the price to accommodate this free month, but the importance is winning the contract in the first place... And I understand from speaking to him this week that he's already arranged two meetings with potential clients for next week.

You see, marketing and sales is all about knowing what your market wants. If you can offer them what they want at a reasonable price and make yourself stand out from the competition, then you'll be successful. To target your market, you can then use leaflets, direct mail, internet marketing, e-mail marketing or even a telephone call.

My Online Business tip for this week is, therefore, to get inside the head of your customer and then ask yourself (as the customer) “what do I really want?” Once you master this, the rest will be simple.

Moving on...

I received an e-mail that upset me this week - it was from someone that isn't a customer of mine questioning how to set-up an online business. I always try to help everyone that I come into contact with, so I responded to a series of questions from this person in an attempt to help them get started... The response to my final e-mail amazed me!

It read something along the lines of “it's alright for you - you do this for a living”...

Well, what do you say to that?!

Believe it or not, I wasn't born with my home-based online business in a box - ready to open and start making money whenever I felt like it. There was a time when I knew nothing about the internet, nothing about marketing techniques and even general business knowledge let alone an online business!

So to say something so defeatist just amazed me. To me, it's like saying that becoming a self-made millionaire just isn't possible...

Sure, people have done it, but that doesn't mean that I can do it?!!

So much of where you are and what you do is in your mind, which is why I want to make the following statement regarding the rich and successful amongst us:

Everyone has the right to become wealthy and experience financial freedom. Those that do… believe that “it's ok to make and have money...”

And if you think about this statement for just a moment and consider all the negativity associated with having or making money, then it becomes very clear as to what this means.

At a young age, we're taught that “money is the root of all evil” and “money can't buy you love/friends”. We also see our parents using credit and spending everything they have, so we copy them...

My parents retired BEFORE they'd paid off their mortgage, so not only did I have absolutely no advantages than the 'normal' person... I saw that working all your life was NOT the way to go.

If you take only this from this online business message, it should be that any business can be improved with the correct and most cost-effective marketing. And in order to succeed you need to start thinking like the rich - it's ok to make money... and lots of money at that.

Best wishes,

Chris Cobb

Awesome Ways to Make Money Online Without Spending Money - Get Started Today!

What are a few ways to start making an income online without spending any money these days?

Well, to start, there are a lot of people out there today that advertise home based business programs, some which may be included in a big bucket of scams! So which kind of things do we need to do to go about making a good income online that only takes up about a few hours of our time?

Recently, I have been looking into the home based business market and researched a bunch of programs out there to find which one truly delivers on its promises. I was really getting tired of people who were not honest with what they were selling and products that were only created with the intent to take people's money and not help them succeed online.

My true intentions out of reviewing some of these popular products was to find the one that was created by a successful person at that. As, I reviewed many online products that promises much income over the internet, I managed to find a few products that were actually able to teach me how to make money online and it truly delivers.

One product that I really enjoyed working with was the Ultimate Wealth Package created by Mark Warren. He is an experienced entrepreneur who has a lot of knowledge to offer someone just getting into the internet marketing industry. The program comes with many bonuses and also a website that markets other peoples products for you to recieve commission off of. Some of the areas that are covered in this program are:

1. Affiliate Marketing

2. Google Adwords

3. Google Adsense

4. Ebay

5. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Each subject area offers a lot of potential in making money when the proper knowledge and skills are provided. With this program, Mark shares with you all of his money making tactics that he uses on a daily basis and if you can replicate his success than you will be a millionaire just like he is. With every single thing that he teaches, you don't need money to start the program with. The only thing he teaches that will need money is google adwords, but this advertising technique is only used when you want to make money really quickly. Even if you go with that technique you are bound to get way more back then what you put in.

So, in conclusion, a awesome way to get started up in a home based business program is to follow in the footsteps of someone that has truly been successful in the internet marketing industry. There is much money to be made here and is a good thing to get into if your in need for another lucrative career. I recommend getting started with the Ultimate Wealth Package if you are new to this industry and need something to jump start your income.

I hope you have much success in starting your new home business!
