"Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?"

Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work from home and make money on the Internet. But before you even turn on your computer, the first question you have to ask yourself is whether you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t for everyone. Some people like the commute. They really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what to do, and they like the routine of working nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are concerned about the risk of starting up their own business. They’re not sure it’s worth the investment of time and money, and they’re scared of the responsibility that comes with running their own company. They wonder if there is another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful, self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t happen without effort. It didn’t happen without at least some initial investment of both time and money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now without me making sure that the taxes are filed and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my business makes. If you’re prepared to give an e-business the time, the work and the money it needs to get started and get growing, it can happen for you too.

"The Blast Of Article Marketing"

Monday, July 21, 2008

Reading my articles, you will learn over and over again that I think article writing is a blast. It is such a satisfaction, to put your knowledge down in writing in your very own way of thinking about it.

I always try to put as much information of a subject into my articles as possible, without overwhelming my readers.

But there is one thing I can't stop. I seem to not being able to stop telling you how rewarding and fun it is, to help others on their way to success, by writing about the things I found are very important to know, in order to make money online.

By writing articles and submitting them, I also have the opportunity to read other peoples view about things. That often opens a total new perspective to a possible problem, that I might have, or which I might be able to solve.

You can never learn enough about your business and what is needed for success. Articles are free to enjoy!

Besides writing easy to understand information articles about subjects needed for success, people can then apply it to their on business endeavor. Knowledge about the business you are building is crucial for success.

Every business you can think of needs marketing. Fortunately, online businesses are much easier to market then a physical business offline. You don't need a big budget to start an online business.

I personally like article writing also, because it is a great way to market my own business efforts in the resource box. That is a little box below the article, were you can put your business information and links. This is a really great way to market your business.

Make sure that your articles have quality information in them. Information that people can apply to their own business efforts right away. Articles should not be written just for the marketing opportunity. This is reserved for the resource box. And will do wonder, if done right.

Write articles about things you know. About missing pieces that you have found being necessary to know and to do in order to become successful online.

It's all about money, I know. But writing articles is about giving people some good ways of handling things in their business and in their marketing efforts. Give them great, useful information and you will be rewarded. Your readers will click on your links in the resource box to find out more and to find out what it is you are doing.

They will begin to trust your expertise and be comfortable in coping your business strategies, all because your articles are an honest attempt to help people see the horizon of their efforts and continue towards it and thereby getting closer to succeed in their own business adventures.

It's just the way it is. We all need to be successful in order to develop a stable income online. What many people don't see is, that success is right around the corner. There are just certain things that need to be done. And the most important part of that is online marketing. A business needs to be marketed. Which means, the message needs to get out there, that your business exists. Without people knowing your business or product, there will be no sales. No sales means no money. It's that simple.

If you like to write, then start to write articles. If you think you can't. Think twice. Because you can. It's not that hard. You write as if you are telling somebody about what you are doing. That's all.

Start writing today, and your business will prosper. Believe me, it will. Have a little patience and believe in yourself. Give it some momentum and the rewards will follow.

"Busy As A Bee..."

Sunday, July 20, 2008

Yes, I am busy as a bee all the time. Sometimes I work through the night, keeping myself awake with 'No Fear' and other energy drinks.

To become successful Online, you have to really work your way up. There is no such thing, as getting rich over night.

But it is fun and rewarding. Setting up blogs and reviewing products is really a fun thing to do. I also write my articles in between. I'm still writing at least 6 article a day, trying to get up to 10 to 12 articles .

There is no such thing as an easy and fast way to success and riches in the Internet marketing business. The competition is not sleeping!

There are a lot of good ebooks and programs out there, but none of them are telling you all of what you need to know, in order to become successful. You still have to review them and work your way through all of the information. Because the truth is, none of the 'Biggis' will give you all of it in one product or ebook.

You have to find all the pieces and put them together yourself. Each of the programs and ebooks, or reports have something valuable in them. You got to find the missing pieces to you own success.

This is not said to discourage you. No, no! I just want you to be careful in what you are buying. Knowing exactly what you need next. and then search for it. And don't be disappointed, if you don't get any money coming in after a couple of month. You can, there is no doubt about it. But in general, it will take a little longer to get some real money coming in every single month.

You have to be patient. Be consistent. Go for it, no matter how long it will take you. Don't you ever give up! Be no quitter! Money will come as sure as the sun goes up every morning.

There are just some things you need to learn. You need to learn how to do certain things. That's just a fact. But it is also the fun of it. Especially, when you see some great results coming up.

It can be frustrating once in a while. But most of the time it is fun. I am learning so much. It is so rewarding, when I have tried and tried to find a solution for something, and then all of a sudden a 'light bulb' goes up and there is the answer. Sometimes the answer comes unexpected and sometimes, because you really worked hard for it. I love those moments!

Right now I have finished getting all the 'article directories' and articles sorted and organized. I submitted my articles and got them accepted. What a feeling!

I have set up blogs to build a blog empire. Making money with or through blogs as another way of free marketing, is my present endeavor.

The three best ways to blog are: Squidoo.com, blogspot.com, and WordPress.com.

Here are my favorite Article Directories:

"Multiple Income Streams - Why Do You Need It?"

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Why would you need to have Multiple Income Streams? In this article I want to point out the importance of developing multiple income streams as an affiliate marketer.

As we all know, the easiest way to start an online business is to sign up for a good affiliate program. A program, that offers you 40% to 75 % commission. The best way to find that kind of affiliate product, is to go through all the affiliate programs in ClickBank. Look up the data of the affiliate programs, to find the one, that offer high commission. Choose a program you feel comfortable with, to promote.

But that is not enough to make a substantial income online. You need at least three to five or more affiliate programs that you will promote on the Internet, to develope multiple income streams. And some of those should make you a residual income.

A residual income is, where you get paid a certain amount each month. This is achieved by signing up with an affiliate program that is a membership site or something similar. You will then earn a residual income as long as your buyer stays as a member for that particular site. You will also get a quick commission on top of the residual income. This quick commission is the one time commission you will get for the person who signed into the membership under you.

If you have let say six income streams, that would be six affiliate programs you are involved in, you need to start promoting these products. If your budget is low to zero, the best way is to write articles. A lot of them. At least one a day for each affiliate program you signed up for.

It's not as hard as it sounds. Get familiar with the products you will promote and write down every idea of a title, that comes into your mind, while you are examining them. Then write about 500 words containing some tips and profitable advices about whatever the title of your article will be. Let the words flow, as if you are explaining it to someone.

Of course, there is an easier way to get Multiple Income Streams. There are programs out there with built-in multiple income streams and a step-by-step instruction on what to do. This way you would only have to write one to three articles a day for one program, which then includes the six income streams in your resource box. That's where you wirte a short eye-popping 'ad' about the program you are referring to with a link to your website or the website of that program. See my resource box below as an example.

Do the math. Article marketing gives you an average income of $20 a month per article you write and submit. If you write one article a day for your affiliate product, you are promoting 6 income streams every day with that one article. That is 30 articles a month times 6 income streams equals 180 marketing efforts for your affiliate product per month. 180 times $20 equals $3,600 per month, give or take. If you are writing 2 to 3 articles a day you can double and triple your income.

Keep in mind though, that it always takes a while until the money comes in. Your articles have to get around for some time first, before they make you some money.

If you don't give up and continue submitting one to three articles a day, you will soon be successful. This is the most reliable and fastest marketing method on the Internet.

Do it. Start right now. All it takes is to write at least one article a day and submit it to the 20 most popular ezine and article directories. It's worth the effort and you will get better at it with each article you write. Soon it will only take you 15 minutes or less to write a good informative article. Don't postpone. Start today!

List Building - Is There A Fast Way?

"What is Bum Marketing?"

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

What exactly is Bum Marketing?

I think it's not always that fast and easy. But I believe it's called Bum Marketing because it's still the fastest marketing solution to make money online. And with some helpful tools, it actually can be a real fast and 'lazy' way to promote your products and make money fast.

What I am doing right now is, I'm writing one article a day for three Affiliate Marketing programs I'm involved in. And I submit them to at least 100 ezine and article directories daily. I invested in the Instant Article Submitter, which let's me submit my articles quickly. In doing it manually, it would be almost impossible to submit to so many directories. I also got me the Instant Article Wizard Pro, which gathers research information for me. That way I don't have to browse the Internet to find information about things I want to know or need to know for my articles. Which would be very time consuming as well.

My three Affiliate programs are related in content. By submitting one article a day for each of them, I have 90 articles a month promoting all three Affiliate programs.

Bum Marketing or Article Marketing is known as the easiest, and fastest way for Online Marketing success. And it's absolutely FREE!

If you like to write or not, it's still easy. Articles don't need to be sophisticated. Actually they should not be. Write like you talk. Don't think! Just write! Let your knowledge flow out of your mind into your word processor or text file.

Choose your niche where your knowledge is. There are hundreds if not thousands of niches, that you can find in Click Bank alone. Just choose what you are interested in. Get a Click Bank account and look through all the affiliate programs, that are available there. Sign up as an affiliate and start writing articles.

To begin with, you don't even need your own website. Once the money starts rolling, it's still time to get a domain name and a hosting account for that domain. Having your own website helps you build a list.

In my opinion, the second most profitable Online Marketing method is your own list. As they say: The Money Is In The List! And here we go again - it's FREE!

So, here we have the two most profitable Internet Marketing solutions known to men: Bum Marketing and List Building. And they are both FREE!

The more articles you write, the more profit you make. The bigger your list becomes, the more profit you make. It's that simple!

There are top marketers out there online, who only use these marketing solutions. Some specialize in Bum Marketing. Some specialize in marketing through their list. And some do both.

Once you have your own website, you will start building your list with an opt-in page. List building takes a while. In the meantime you write articles to make some substantial income online. It's very rewarding!

Writing articles makes me feel productive while I'm waiting for the snowball to start rolling. Once the snowball rolls, it's impossible to stop it. The money will roll in constantly. Whatever affiliate program you support, write articles. One every day for every program. That's it. Let the snowball roll!
