Well I'm a little late with this update and I do apologize. I'm taking a break from my business to do a little more of taking care of myself. I noticed I was on the computer, but not accomplishing the things I needed to do for my business. It seemed a lot of time was being wasted and I was just becoming more frustrated and uninterested. When I get back to business full swing I will set a time to

This month has been a slow one. My motivation is lacking for some reason. I need to get inspired and start putting more effort into my home business. My stats for this month include:PIPS Newsletter sign ups: 25; SFI 20; Golden Ticket Prospects: 21I have been using safelists, Traffic Exchanges, Classified ads, putting up flyers, posting on forums, a little bit of blogging. I have to step up my

Here is a motivational reading I would like to share. A woman on my Shaklee call shared this with us and I wanted to pass it along. Enjoy!To Succeed in Your Home Business, You Must BELIEVE!All kinds of people make the decision to work from home, and it ispossible to be successful no matter where you come from or what stage of life you are in at the time.

The end of summer is approaching and the busy time of internet marketing is near. It's exciting because the work that is put in during the summer months will pay off in the fall.I've been spending time submitting to link directories, article directories, blog posting, safelist advertising, clicking on TE's, posting in forums and submitting classifieds.This months update is about the same as last

Another slow month. It's cool getting notices of sales through Traffic Payouts or Click Bank though. I have been concentrating a little bit more on my Shaklee business. I ordered some Golden Ticket Movies so I can give them out to people or send them to people who request them on the internet. It costs them $7.95 for the shipping & handling.The movie explaines Shaklee and the business opportunity

This month has been slow, to say the least. I haven't been doing the activities that I should be in order to build back links and get more traffic to my site.Don't get me wrong, I'm still doing something almost every day, but I should be doing more. In the PIPS Power Group Forum there is a contest going one for summer. The one with the most improvement will win the prize. The members there are

Today I feel the need to write about an awesome company that has been in business for over 50 years. This company stands behind all their products with a money back guarantee and have had their products featured on shows like Oprah, Good Morning America, Rachael Ray, Today and several others!That company is called Shaklee! Shaklee's products are no joke. I just started using their products at the

Life likes to throw twists and turns at us along the way and that is what has happened to me recently. As in my last post, my dad has been ill and it's a difficult time.I have been spending minimal time on my business due to being in Toronto for 2 weeks and being at my dad's house since he's been home. He got home a week after I left.It ended up that my dad's cancer led him to have to have his

The best thing about a work at home business is that when personal issues come up I don't have to worry about taking time off or explaining to a boss what's going on.The business may have a little down time but I know I can get it going again when I get working and putting more effort into it. That has been the case for a few weeks here. My dad has been ill and having a lot of pain for the last 4

You may be wondering where to turn in order to find the perfect work at home business. Finding the right one requires a little research to make sure it is legitimate and has a reasonable compensation plan. If you choose a company to become an affiliate for you need to make sure that company is stable and has the products that you can trust. I have found a company and products that are not only

It looks like that statement is true for me. In the last week or so things have really started to come together. There are a couple things I have been doing different that I can attribute to this change of direction for my home business. I joined a mentoring group which has given very valuable information and tips on how to get my business on the road to success. I mentioned this group in a

We would all like to think that our homes are the safest place on earth, would we not? The truth of the matter is that it really is not. The air in our home is usually more contaminated with pollutants than the air outside. We may wonder how this could be possible. The very products that are supposed to save us from illness may be the actual culprits that are making us sick.When your child eats

More and more people are talking about their health, the environment, and the toxins that are found inside the home that are having staggering effects on our health.I’m excited to share these life changing products with you!

I received my EyeEarn package in the mail today and took a picture of myself with the shirt on. Some of us at the PIPS forum are daring each other to take a pic and post it! So here I am and later when my hubby gets home I'll post another one with the banner on the van.

A couple days ago I joined a private mentoring group that is designed to help people get their business off the ground and learn some of the top marketing methods. The group is comprised of some of the best marketers online. The great thing is that I have "known" these mentors for a year so I feel very comfortable there. Anyway, I have a new found motivation to get this business rockin'! Every

Wow, another year has passed us by and it's time to think about what we want this year to be. I plan to go full speed ahead with my home business. I admit the last few months were not spent doing what I needed to do to bring my business forward. I only have myself to blame for any lack of success. This year I plan to do double duty with submitting to link directories, article submissions and

It's been way too long since my last update. I do post regularly on my business blog though.Ok, since my last update I have been keeping up with submitting my site to link directories and articles to article directories. I've been slacking on the traffic exchanges. This last few weeks I haven't been doing as much as I should though. I had some surgery so my mind has been elsewhere, but I will be

I'm sure others can relate. This month has been very slow. Everyone is enjoying the last month of summer I'm sure! I am but I'm also looking forward to school in a little over a week lol. As for what's been happening this month: I invested in some Get Response opt in leads. They are coming in slowly but that's ok. My list has grown a little bit. I've had about 39 subscribers (20 from the power

I'm still loving what I'm doing. Here's an update on my progress this month: 19 subscribers to my newsletter, 10 referrals in SFI (1 EA), 4 referrals in Leisure Audio Books (1 upgrade), 1 full PIPS referral, 1 referral in NPN.I know this is just the beginning and things will be picking up month after month.

Well, it's been a while since my last update. Not much has been happening so that's probably why I haven't updated lol. Not much to say. I've been getting a sign up and/or subscriber here and there. My links have gone up to over 1200. I've been busy submitting articles, submitting links to link directories, blogging, posting on forums, and placing classifides.

Search engine optimization is getting more and more difficult by the day. The search engines are evolving at an incredible speed, making it harder for us SEOs to rank our websites highly.With that said, there are a few tried and true principles that we need to do when optimizing our website. The first of which, and the one that I always tell people to concentrate on is getting quality, 1 way

Well, since having my new site I've been getting positive feedback. I'm glad people like it and find it appealing to the eye. I think it really makes a difference whether or not people stay on your website or come back to your website. If it's not easy to navigate or nice to look at, people won't stay or come back right? Anyway, I hope it brings more visitors to my site and people will feel

To add to the previous post, I had another signup in Hits2U and GDI. In SFI one of my affiliates upgraded to Executive Affiliate, so that's exciting. My credits have gone way down in my TE's so I really need to build those up again. I've been working on my site here and there so my surfing is slacking. This week I'm going to concentrate on writing an article, submitting it and surfing. Of course
