My Favorite Free Web Tools

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

There are many free web tools out there. Some are more conveninet than others. Here are a few that I have found myself using quite often lately.

1.www.linkpopularity.com -
to check backlinks as shown in Google, MSN and Yahoo. I like this website because it is easy to remember.

2.www.alexa.com -
to check the traffic rank. I go there every now and then to check my site as well as some other sites of interest, competitor sites included.

3.www.freekeywords.wordtracker.com -
for keyword research. I find this free tool prodcues the easiest to understand results.

4. Rankingcheck.com -
to check how my keywords rank in the three major search engines (Google, MSN and Yahoo). You can put in three keyword phrases along with your url, and the result will tell you your position with each search engine.

5. Websitegrader.com -
to get an evaluation of your website from SEO perspective. You will get a comprehensive report tells you what to improve. This is a very useful tool. I wrote a separate article on the content of this report: "Cool Website Evaluation Tool for Your Simple Work From Home Opportunity ".

6. Statcounter.com -

7. DupeFreePro -
to check uniqueness of my rewritten articles. I downloaded this free tool and have found it vey easy to use. It compares two versions of an article and highlights the duplicate sections in corresponding colors. It also checks a given version against the web to help you determine the uniqueness an unfamiliar article. Further, it also has the LSI features.

I will share more free resources in the future.

Simple Work From Home Opportunity: How To Come Up With Topics To Write About

http://www.HomeBizOnlineThatWorks.com

Coming up with topics to write about your simple work from home opportunity is one obstacle that new Internet marketers often come across. I had this problem myself. Every now and then, I still feel that I need some extra inspiration. Here is a few things that I do to overcome this obstacle.

Brainstorming
I carve out some time to assemble a long list of niche related article titles from various sites. My last list had about 500 titles, most of which from ArticleDashboard. All these titles give me some idea of respective topics to write about. Although I may not be inspired by each one of them, after going through enough titles, I usually would form my own idea of an article.

The extra effort of brainstorming is worth doing as 500 hundred titles can last a long time.

Reporting on a solution to a problem
It always makes great article material to write about a solution to a problem. No problem is too trivial to report on. If you have this problem, someone else can have the same problem, too, and your solution would be great information to share.

Inspiration from the newsletters you receive frequently
Conducting business in the Internet community, you are bound to sign up for some newsletters. Many people just delete them. I myself usually would give a quick skim to the article first. I find that some of them carry really valuable information. Here and there, I get inspired with topics to write about from these newsletters.

If you are mindful of finding materials for your articles, perhaps you can make use of your newsletters, too. if you need a good one, sign up for my Internet mini-course. You will also get 6 ebooks on money making online FREE.

Inspiration from continuously working on your home business
I find that I would come up with things to write about a lot more easily when I keep busy with my home business. This is because we tend to write about what we do. When I stalled for a couple of months before, it was really hard to find anything to talk about.

Therefore, stay connected to your business routine, and you will secure a big advantage to having topis to write about for your simple work from home opportunity.

These are just a few things that have worked for me. Everyone may feel differently about a given approach. Hope you find what works for you.

Should You Use A Search Engine Submission Service?

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

Newbies of Internet tend to have an idealistic belief that services other than content creation would drastically increase web traffic to their sites. Therefore, one of the things they would do is to sign up for search engine submission services, which tend to benefit more the veteran sites than a newbie site.

If you are a newbie and are at the point of deciding whether to enlist the service of search engine submission, it is highly recommended that you read this article "Should You Use A Search Engine Submission Service?" and get informed before your decision.

May you spend your valuable resource where it is needed most.

Sure Way To Succeed With Your Simple Work From Home Opportunity

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

I receive newsletters in email from various sources every day. Today one of those newsletters has a short article on Abraham Lincoln, which I found extremely profound and having solid relevance to pursuing simple work from home opportunities on the Internet. It practically spells out the sure way to succeed.

Abraham Lincoln is probably among the highest regarded president in the United States. Was he talented for presidency? Perhaps, but not what the failures he kept having appeared to indicate. Look at the streams of failures he had prior to being elected president:

- In 1832, Lincoln was defeated in an attempt to become Speaker of the Illinois legislature.
- In 1843 he was defeated in an attempt to win nomination for Congress.
- In 1846, he was elected to Congress, but had to leave two years later because his party had a policy of limiting terms.
- In 1854, he lost a run for the U.S. Senate.
- In 1856, he lost the nomination for vice president, and in 1858, he was again defeated in a race for the Senate.

Most people would have lost faith in face of these back to back failures. But not Abraham Lincoln. His personal strength, vision and persistence paid off when he was finally elected president in 1860.

Abraham Lincoln's failures never dictated his destiny; his own vision did. Each time he failed, he failed upwards instead of downwards. What inspiring lesson that we could all learn from Abraham Lincoln!

In any kind of pursuit, work from home opportunities on the Internet included, failures are just facts of life; but they do not have be the destiny if the the individual does not allow themto be.

To all people who may need some advice facing setbacks, try to learn from Lincoln; shoot for something even higher every time you fail, doubling your effort. The failures will be more than compensated for when you do succeed in the end.

And succeed, you shall.

How To Get Backlinks From High Authority Sites In Your Niche

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

Getting quality backlinks is among the most effective ways to promote your simple work from home opportunity website. For newbies, getting these quality backlinks means asking to be linked to a site with higher authority than your own, which is not easy. Why would a site give you the PR juice when your own site has nothing equal to exchange.

That said, here are some ways that you may approach higher ranked sites for a backlink.

1. Offer to write something exclusively unique for the higher authority site

Whether it is a testimony or just a niche relevant article, offering exclusively unique content is a welcome gesture. It may just work.

2. Commenting on their blog

If the site has a blog, you can always comment on a particular blog entry. Just say something nice and positive. Then include your website link when signing. This is one of the easier method as you don't need prior permission from the site to do it. However, just make sure the blog is a dofollow kind. If it is nofollow, the search engines will not see it to index it. No indexing, no backlink.

3. Posting in their forum

If the site has a forum, participation is what they look for. Commenting on their forum will most definitely give you a backlink as you plant your site link in your signature. Stay away from private forums, though. If the forum is a private one, it would require a password to read and/or post. Your links planted in this kind of forum will not be seen by the search engines as they are blocked by the password protection.

For further guidelines on forum posting, you may want to read article "Effective Forum Posting Guidelines".

3 Culprits That Dampen Your Motivatons For Your Work From Home Opportunity

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

While pursuing work from home opportunity online, every now and then, I simply don't feel like working at all. I would find myself finding excuses to procrasinate. This would happen more likely after I think I had worked hard but did not see expected results. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this way.

Here is what I think are the main culprits that cause me (and other online home business builders, I'm sure) the mood misalignment.

1) High Expections

I have high expectations for my business, just like everyone else in this field. Even though I know it takes time to build my home business, in the back of my mind, that expectation of a flourishing online business never went throgh a reality check. High expectation itself is a good thing. If we can use it to guide our effort instead of results, we would be spared of a lot of unnecessary frustration

2) Instant Gratification as Conditioned by Our Culture

In this culture (America), there is so much emphasis on instant gratification that people want to see results fast and do not appreciate the process of gradual building and cultivating. We want a pill to cure chronic disease and a magic touch to fix any problem. The truth is, good things, like bad things, take time to build. Health, like chronic conditions, take time to build. or evolve. The same is with a simple work from home opportunity. If the breakthrough point has not come, this means more effort is needed to continuously cultivate. It is really too premature to feel any dispair.

3) Lacking a Solid Game Plan

Not having a game plan is perhaps the third and major culprit. It is said that 95% percent of people trying an online opportunity will fail. Without a doubt, they do not have a game plan aimed for success. But even for those who are committed to make something out of it, not having a game plan can really increase the chance of eventual failure as there is no shield for the constant distractions, hypes and unrealistic expectations.

The solution to this problem is to have a game plan for success and refine it as you go along. By anchoring your practice management with a game plan, your energy will be more efficiently guided on building your business instead of fretting over factors you cannot control.

In short, having dampened motivation for your online home business is normal. It is important to forgive yourself for the moments of weakness and move on to more productive routines. Get a good game plan in place and just follow it as if you do not know other ways to live. The motivations and your work from home business will take care of themselves.

Take Advantage of Your IAHBE Membership

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

When I started my pursuit for a simple work from home opportunity online, I joined IAHBE (International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs) because it is the best way to stay an EA (Executive Affiliate) with SFI. It costs $29.95/month while I get about $10 back as my monthly commission for being an EA from SFI; net investment $20/month. I had not really looked into the member area of IAHBE until recently. I must say that I am impressed with the kind of resources the membership offers.

Here is a laundry list of the main benefits from IAHBE:
- A free book of the month
- A free magazine of the month
- The learning center
- Software downloads
- Online resources
- Special offers (of books or tools, etc)
- Marketing tips
- Quality business articles
Etc.

My favorite part of the membership is access to a host of success profiles. These are people with immense success owning their business on the Internet ( Mike Filsaime, Rob Taylor, Ewen Chia, to name a few). There is a gallery of these successful individuals’ photos with their monthly revenue labeled right underneath their names. They range from 14K/month – 1 million +/month.

Each success profile covers the individuals’ basic information such as education level, the year they started the business, hours worked during the start-up and hours currently worked, favorite business magazines/books, and months before achieving a profit, etc.

There is also an extended interview where the successful individual answers specific questions on how to start up, what/when to invest, tools they use, methods of marketing, sources of motivation, secret strategy, biggest obstacles then and now, best business decision, advice for newbies, etc., as well as their vision for the future.

These success profiles have a lot to share. One can see that these individuals come from a variety of backgrounds. Although their answers to specific questions can be different technically, they all share a vision for themselves and are action takers in building their business. Their perspectives are truly inspiring.

IAHBE indeed offers valuable membership benefits. Anyone who is a home business owner hopeful can really benefit from its rich resources. This probably can be a one-stop shopping experience for those who need constant input of knowledge, tips and motivation.

If you are already a member of IAHBE, have you been taking full advantage of the membership? If you are not a member but are interested in checking it out for yourself, check it out here. For those who puts what they learn into action, this membership is worth much much more.

Best Explanation on Duplicate Content - Free Report

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

Are you ever confused with the issues surrounding duplicate content? On one hand, it seems so forbidden by the search engines that a penalty may be dealt on anyone with duplicate content. On the other, one has to wonder that those multiple backlinks from the same article cannnot be all unique; why are the search engines OK with the duplicate content in this instance?

Confused no more. Now Article Marketer has released a report that dwells on the topic thoroughly. There really has not been a better explanation than this report that I have seen.

To summarize the gist of the debate: duplicate content will likely not hurt you if it is used properly. The rule of thumb is to
(i) give credit where it is due,
(ii) provide information with real value and
(iii) keep it fresh.

The bottomline is that it is OK to have duplicate content on your site when it adds real value to your prospective customers. Take caution to give the authors full credit. What needs to be penalized are spamming and plagerism.

This should put a lot minds at ease :-).

View the complete report here or download it for free.

Have An Actionable Game Plan for Your Work From Home Business

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

Having started with my online work from home opportunity for a while, I have realized how important it is have an actionable game plan for your online business pursuit. There are so many tasks that need to be done that without a game plan, the day may be lost easily in endless evaluation of which tasks to do first or doing things that are less essential.

A good game plan must be specific. For instance, "building backlinks" is not a good game plan, but "submitting an article to article directories" is better. An even better plan would have a specific title for the intended article and the names and number of directories already determined, like this:

Title of the article:
"The Benefits of Simple Work From Home Opportunities "

15 Directories to submit to:
http://www.24hourwealth.com/articledirectory
http://www.101articles.com/
http://www.101computeronline.com/
http://www.101healthonline.com/
http://www.1articleworld.com/
http://www.1st4words.com/
http://www.1st-for-internet-marketin...it_article.asp/
http://www.1st-in-articles.com/
http://www.1stoparticles.com/
http://www.1-website-promotion-inter...itarticles.htm/
http://www.25000articles.com/
http://www.2articles.com/articles/user.php
http://www.316designs.co.uk/art
http://www.365articles.com/modules.p...e=Your_Account
http://www.a1-articledirectory.com/

The more concrete the task, the more likely it may get accomplished.

The trick to make a good game plan is to aim for simplicity. An action plan with one task to do has a better chance of being accomplished than a stressful load. For instance, it is admirable to plan to do one article, submit it to 15 directories, one blog post, bookmarking it to 40 social networking sites, submit your site to 50 web directories, and add a new page to your website all in a day's work. However, if you only have 1-2 hours to spare, all these tasks may be too many, and you may be discouraged to start on any. A more realistic plan would be to do a blog post and book marking it to social networking sites.

Don't be concerned that the plan is too simple. You want it to be simple enough to help you establish a routine.You can always add on more tasks later or whenever you have more time. The important thing is to cultivate a routine that becomes second nature to you in practice. Your simple work from home opportunity will have a better chance to grow if you have a work routine in place.

Thought of the day: Think success for your online home business, think game plans.

3 Pillars of A Success Strategy for Your Web Based Work From Home Opportunity

http://www.HomeBizOnlineThatWorks.com/

There are many ingredients to the success recipe of a work from home business on the Internet. None is as essential, effective, and indispensable as the following three components are the most.

1. Article marketing

Time and time again, article marketing comes up as the most recommended method to promote a web site. The reason is simple; it works powerfully. It is powerful as it combines original content with a link. The unique content is feasted upon by the search engines, making the link associated with it as high quality as it can be.

A well-written article may also catch the eye of many e-zine publishers who will publish your article in their respective sites, creating many more quality backlinks to your business site.

This is truly a method that has the top priority in all of your marketing routines.

2. Blogging

Blogging is another powerful method to promote a business website. Think about all the information you would like your customers to know about your product/service; put them down in writing and publish them as your blog posts. Prospects who chance upon your posts will appreciate the personal touch of your business information and are more likely to accept your product/services.

Blogging can also build backlinks to your own website. A blog is like a directory of mini articles, but one which you have complete control over. By all means use this method to build backlinks to your own web site and educate the mass about your business at the same time.

3. Directory Submission

Directory submission provides direct backlinks to your site. Although you do not typically have a lot of content surrounding that link, the fact that directories are intersections of the web traffic makes it important for you to own a spot there anyway. It is the simplest way to get a backlink.

Directory submission can be tedious work, but it is perfect to do when you do not feel inspired to write an article or blog post. You do not need to miss out on building some backlinks for your business during those dull moments.

The above 3 strategies are truly the pillars of a success strategy for work from home business. The best part of these strategies is that they can be done completely free if you can afford the time. If you don’t have the time, regardless, enlist services to get them done anyway. Simply apply them no matter what, and you will be that much closer to success.

Wish you success for your work from home business

Traffic to Your Website - Organic vs. Pay Per Click (PPC)

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

There are basically two types of traffic you can get to your work from home online business website: (1)organic traffic from the search engines (2)traffic through pay-per-click(ppc) advertising. Which's main difference between the two types, their respective pros and cons, and when to use either method? This post will answer these questions.

Organic search engine traffic

This is traffic that comes from the search engines. This is the best type of traffic as it is highly targeted. People who get to your website have already been searching for your business on the web and therefore are more likely than others to buy from you. If you have managed to beat your competitors and come up in the top half page of the page 1 of the search results, you are likely to get a lot of this organic traffic.

The pro of organic search engine traffic is that it is high quality. The con is that it is hard to accomplish. It is attainable but there is ususally no hope of instant gratification.

Pay-per-click traffic

This is traffic that you have bought through advertising with sites such as Google. You bid for your position on a given page of the search result for a specific keyword search term. People who search for that term will see some organic listing from the search engines as well as your link in the top and the right hand sections (as in Google), depending on how much your bid is, the higher the bid, the more prominent position your ad is placed on the page.

The pro of ppc is that it is easy to do and provides instant gratification. The con is that you have to incur cost consistently with your ad. If you are bidding for a highly competitive term, the cost per click can go really high. It is not surprising for some terms to go near $100/click.

Which option is better to promote your simple work from home opportunity?

For long term purpose, doing search engine optimization (SEO) online and offline for your business website is always better than paying to get the listing. Once you've established your web presence through tireless SEO online and offline, no one can take it away and you do not really need the ppc.

Building your web presence through continuous SEO activities is like working to pay off your mortgage; you will end up owning your house. On the other hand, ppc will have a place for you to live in as long as you pay the rent; but once you stop paying, the past rents add up to nothing that you can own.

That said, anything quick and easy has an edge despite its cost; this is the same with ppc. If you have a highly compelling sales page for a specific product, ppc may be a good choice as it provides instant targeted traffic with high likelihood of conversion. For certain niche products, there may not be a lot of people looking for it; but those who do are ready to buy. Ppc is perfect for this type of promotion.

Form most work from home opportunities online, the combination of both of the methods above is probably the way to go. On a daily basis, build your web presence through proven SEO stategies, such as aritlce marketing, blogging, web directory submission, etc. Then for any highly focused promotion items, whether it be a simple work from home opportunity or a single product, ppc make just add its flair to complement your general SEO effort.

Hope this post has been helpful to the newbies.

Promote Your Simple Work From Home Opportunity with Blogs

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

If you are new to Internet marketing and are wondering what you should do next to promote your work from home opportunity on a daily basis, delay no more and start a blog. It is a simple, yet powerful tool to brand your business, get traffic to your urls, and build back links. It is also FREE.

Blogging builds web presence for your business. This strategy is completely under your control. All you need to do is to write something about your business. Write from a different angle everyday. The more you write about your business, the more the web will have a chance to learn about your business.

Blogging is easy. Unlike a formal article that needs to pass the scrutiny of editors when you submit your articles to web directories, a blog post can be anything you want. Just make sure to provide as much value as possible with each post and include as many affiliate links/your web sites as you like.

Blogging is feasted upon by the search engines. My personal experience shows that the newer the blog post, the higher it comes up on the search page, which in turn brings possibly more traffic. Webmasters work hard to do SEO to their websites just for the purpose of coming up on top of the search results. A simple blog post with well considered keywords can well accomplish that. Blog often to stay on top.

Blogging is free. Start with Blogger.com to set up a blog completely free, like this one. This is such a valuable resource that it is almost sinful not to make use of it. It is a platform from which you can advertize your business tirelessly without spending a cent.

Today's thought of the day, blog often and share with your imaginary visitors valuable information about and insight into your simple work from home opportunity. Let the search engines do the rest. If you blog consistently, there is only one thing the search engines will do - catapult your blog/business to the top.

Happy blogging!

5 Business Expenses Essential to Grow Your Simple Work From Home Opportunity

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

It is possible to build a home biz online without out of pocket expenses. However, I believe that most successful internet marketers would not recommend going the free way. The main reasons are (1) the free way often means that it takes more time even to the point of stunting the business growth, which defeats the whole purpose; (2) some free tools may not be as reliable as paid services, and this can be detrimental to building a business.

So what kind of business investments are the most essential to building an online work from home opportunity? Here goes the simple list:

1. WebHosting

There are free web hosting services out there. However, it is the general concensus that you pay for what you get when it comes to web hosting. If you don't want your website to be unexpectedly down, enlisting a reputable web hosting service is the wise way to go. A solid web host like Host4Profit is24.95/month.

2. Auto Responder

Having an auto responder is like having administrative staff taking care of your connection with your prospects and/customers. It is a must if you expect your business to grow. A top notch auto-responder like GetResponse costs 17.95/month with cheaper annual payment option of $145.

3. Article marketing

Article marketing is the most powerful method to promote your web based business. The complete article marketing can be done free of cost. However, submitting articles to many directories can be tedious and time consuming. Also the writing part may be challenging to some people. To the extent that practical handicaps aforementioned are preventing effective article marketing, professional services should be enlisted in order to keep building on your work from home opportunity's web presence. A 500 word original article can be found for as little as $6 dollars. Article submission service can be about $30-50/month.

4. Blogging

Blogging is just as important as article marketing. It is a tool that can catapult your traffic magically if you contribute enough unique content relevant to your niche. This means blogging every day once or more times. There is certainly considerable time commitment required by this strategy. To the extent that you can't find time to do blog posts consistently, you should consider buying shorter articles for your blogs (about $5/piece).

5. Submit to web directories

This is another strong method to build backlinks, which essentially builds your web presence. Just like submitting to aritcle directories, this is free to do by hand but a tedious, time-consuming job. To the extent you have better use of this time, you should consider either outsourcing it or buying a software (such as DirectorySubmitter) to help automate some parts of this job. You may be able to find submission service ranging around $0.08 - 0.15/submission. DirectorySubmitter has a one time cost of $97.

The last three methods mentioned above can really be done manually with no out of pocket cost. However, they will work their magic only if they are done consistently over a period of time, which requires significant time commitment. If you cannot afford the time, it is worth it to invest in professional service to get this aspect of the marketing going.

To conclude, having free service/tools may not necessarily mean the best for your business. However, investments in the above five areas are essential and worthwhile.

My Motivations for Pursuing a Work from Home Business Online

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

There are many reasons that people start pursuing a work from home business on the Internet. Some of the common ones are:
1. Financial reward
2. More free time with family
3. Less work hours (wishful thinking, of course)
4. Flexibility with location
5. Be your own boss
6. Less polution for the environment (saved from cutting the commuting)
etc.

I share all of these motivations to some degree. But I have two reasons that top all of the above.

My number 1 motivation is to build something by myself. This is different from resenting the boss-subordinate relationship at work that you see in some work from home opportunity ads. I actually have really good rapport at work. My 9-5 job has never been a source of undesirable stress. Still, I want to build something by myself. Thanks to the Internet; it has made it easy to start this pursuit.

My number 2 motivation is that I feel compelled by the age of the Internet in many ways. I truly believe the Internet will become our main media for most of everything, if not all, in the future. I am amazed by the potentials of the Internet and enjoy learning new technology to make things work faster and better. I really want to be part of the Internet community.

What are your motivations? Feel free to drop me a note and share some thoughts. Or leave a comment.

Cheers.
