Simple Work From Home Opportunity On A Part-Time Basis: Pros and Cons

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

Most people who start an online, simple work from home opportunity would not do it on a full time basis right away, and I am one of them. If you are tempted also by a part-time pursuit of an online home business opportunity, here are some pros and cons from my personal expereince to help you make your decision.

Pros:
- Have the security of income from your regular job for your daily life
- Because of the above, afford to take the time to learn Internet marketing at your own pace
- Having income from the regular job also means a solid resource for business expenses from your online opportunity
- Maintain connection to the work community ( this is important to some people)

Cons:
- Lots of personal sacrifice as other interests and obligations may likely be infringed upon by the online pursuit
- Loss of sleep. Home business online takes time to learn and cultivate. With a full-time job and possibly other home bound responsibilities, you may find yourself cut into your sleep time consistently to try to get work done.
- It may take much longer to see results
- Higher risk of failure in light of the extended period of business building time without seeing any result

In short, the greatest pro is that you still have the income and the biggest con is that you do not have enough time. Money and time cannnot both be had. With that in mind, here are some recommended solutions:

1) Find a mentor.
The mentor can help shorten your learning curve significantly providing insight and seasoned wisdom of the trade. You can expect to get inspiration, strategy, motivation and encouragement from your mentor.

2) Make necessary investment/business expenses to buy time
There are some routine tasks that do not need to be done by you personally, such as directory submission, article submissions, etc. To the extent you have the budget and if you want a faster pace of growth for your business, it would be wise to enlist services to do the mundane tasks. You can save the time to strategize for your business; this is the part that you cannot outsource even for money.

Hope this post has provided some helpful information.

PipsPowerGroup Summer Business Building Contest Update

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

Back at the beginning of June, Pipspowergroup started a summer contest for its members. The contest should last about 45 days. Each voluntary participant would start with their initial Alexa ranking and url documented in a designated thread and post their daily activities afterwards through the duration of the contest.

Now 30 days have passed, and the mentors have announced a current standing of the top 10.

It came as an extreme surprise, but I am glad to report that I am among the top 10. I really haven't done as much as I would like. I see everyday that other members were posting more activities than me and often felt I hadn't done enough.

I do tell myself that I should mind my own pace. I have a full time job and two young children; finding time to work on my simple work from home opportunity consistently is a challenge, although so far, I've managed to do something almost everyday.


There are actually more activities that I have done that I did not post. They pertain to reading relevant materials, surfing for traffic credits, posting in private forums, working on articles, etc. I didn't include them as I don't think they result in a concrete backlink. I only reported activities where I created some content, such as a blog post, or article, or actual web directory submissions. When it comes down to it, I feel as though only content and backlinks matter.

I think the Pipspowergroup mentors were brilliant in scheming up this contest as it really helps us start developing a daily work routine, which I think is the key to success with online work from home opportunities.

There are still 15 days left of the contest. The mentors say that it is a close contest, and standings can change. With my limited time, I may not move as fast as I wish, but as long as I can establish a solid routine, I feel satisfied. Anything else would be icing on the cake.

Good luck to the fellow contestants.

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

One of the newsletters I frequently receive is from Mercola.com. Dr. Mercola has some of the best advice on healthy living and healing to share.

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".

Cheers,

Ying Hong

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.

Ying Hong

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.

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.

Is Your Simple Work From Home Opportunity In The Favor Of The Rule Of Randomness?

http://www.HomeBizOnlineThatworks.com

Driving home from work today, I heard a radio interview about a book on the rule of randomness. I found the discussion fascinating as well as enlightening.

The author (I didn't catch the name) talked of the immense impact of randomness in our lives. Basically, we really don't have complete control over what happens in our lives and, if we try certain thing enough times, it's going to happen for us.

What does this mean for your pursuit of a simple work from home opportunity online? Simply enlightening! It really means to keep on trying new things until one day the rule of randomness goes in your favor. Before you reach that breakthrough point, in any phase of your journey of building your home business online, there is no need to decide if you are a failure or if someone else is a failure or success, as you are not the one determining the timing of your success; the rule of randomness does. After all, Joanne K. Rowling had nine rejections before her Harry Potter became a huge success. Her work was always good; but success only came about when the rule of randomness spoke on her behalf.

It is clear, though, that if you stop trying, even the rule of randomness cannot help you.

So the epiphany of the day is to keep on trying what you believe in, whether it is a work from home opportunity or some other passion or pursuit. If you try it enough times, success will happen to you as the rule of randomness will act on your behalf when the timing is right.

May you be there when the rule of randomness speaks for you.

One of the mentors at the Pipspowergroup with which I am a member did a post of "Your mini day" recently. In the post, he highlights the importance of planning in the overall strategy for online business success. Basically, the proportion of the time resource spent on planning should be 1/3, while another 1/3 is on promoting the business and still another on taking care of emails and article writing combined.


This is an interesting point. Most people, myself included, do not do enough planning. It never occurred to me that I needed to allow time to plan for my next day's marketing activities. Perhaps due to this lack of plan, I find myself lose focus easily. Sometimes, I will feel inspired to do many things while other times, I would feel all of a sudden lost.

If you find yourself hang out in the forums and/or checking emails most of the time, then you could probably use some planning.

When it comes to planning, the more specific the goal the better. For instance, it is good to decide on a link building campaign, but it is better to commit to submitting to, say, 10 web directories everyday. It is good to set the goal of writing one article a week, but it is better to determine the title of your next article and the time slot you have to get it done.

The reason for specific planning is that there are so many contending priorities in building an online home business that without a clear order of specific steps, one may just lose oneself in the combined jungle of information overload and administrative logistics. Before long, one would feel disillusioned with the work from home opportunity by the lack of progress.

Therefore, to avoid the pitfall of not having a plan, here is the solution: have a plan. Here are a few guidelines for you to make an actionable plan:

1. Use 1/3 of your daily time commitment to your home business to figure out a plan for the next day.
2. Be very exact and specific about the task(s) you plan for your next day
3.Avoid distractions at all cost and focus on following your plan
4. Make the plan simple and tasks achievable

This is the guideline that I am following myself. I hope you will find it helpful.

To your online home biz success.

Keeping Your Best Unique Content to Yourself

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

My first ever articels were submitted to EzineArticles.com. Ever since my articles were accepted and I was labeled an Expert Author, pride welled up in me and made me want to reach that next level - the Platinum Member. To that end, despite my limited article marketing effort, I rushed to submit every new article I wrote to EzineArticles. Now I am beginning to wonder if I should keep my best original content for myself instead of handing it over to other sites.

The notion of keeping the best unique content for yourself first struck me when Mal Keenan, a Pipspowergroup mentor, mentioned it in his ebook created for the Pipspowergroup members. He basically said that we should create a lot of unique content, and we should keep it either on our own blogs or add it to our primary websites. After all, why should we contribute to the unique content of other sites.

I know Mal didn't mean not to do article marketing. I take it that he means that if you already have some articles out there, let them multiply the backlinks while any more new unique content you create should be kept for yourself on your blog. Interesting concept; and I think it makes intuitive sense.

It is important to build up the presence of your website or blog by continuously adding new content to them. In the long run, keeping the best original content for yourself sometimes should prioritize over submitting it to other sites, particularly if you have already have backlinks from these sites through past submissions.

It also makes intuitive sense to spread out your articles to different directories instead of submitting to a few sites repeatedly. Two links from the same site cannot weigh as much as two links from different sites with the same PR in the eye of the search engines.

To conclude, the strategy in article marketing is (1)to submit to different directories vs repeated submissions to the same sites (2)to keep new unique content for yourself after you have disseminated some articles out there. Also, getting that Platinum Member designation is really not that important after all.

RSS - Simple Explanation

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks/

RSS is one of those terms that is both clear and fuzzy in a lot of people's understanding. The term has been thrown around for so many times that no one would admit not knowing it. In reality, how RSS is used remains a puzzle to a lot of people. Today, I aim to provide all you need to know about RSS.

RSS is abbreviation for three formats:

1. Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
2. RDF Site Summary (RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.90)
3. Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)

These formats represent a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content including, but not limited to, blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts. An RSS document (which is called a "feed" or "web feed" or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays. (Source: Wikkipedia)

RSS content can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader" or an "aggregator". The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds. (Source: Wikkipedia)

For the average user, RSS can provide tremendous convenience in aggregating the newest information on the user's favourite sites so that the user doesn't have to go check each one by himself.

Although the average user can have the updates sent ot his email inbox, it is a lot less hassle if he just signs up with Google Reader for an account to read RSS feeds. That way, all the RSS feeds the user has subscribed to will come into this one location where he can go and get the most up-to-date information in the least amount of time.

Still not sure what RSS is? Check out this short video here. It is really one of the best visual explanations of RSS I have found.

Cheers,

How to Be Efficient In Your Internet Marketing Effort

http://ww.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

In the course of building my Simple Work From Home Opportunity, I have come to certain realizations here and there that I wouldn't have had without my simple home biz online. Today, I want to share my revelation on efficiency. I realized that success in Internet marketing has a lot to do with efficiency, or speed, which also translates into quantity in some sense, and this efficiency has to do with developing a system in doing things, a system not necessarily a software package, but rather, practice management.

I got a chance to reflect upon this in the course of my article marketing effort. I like to write my own articles, and I think they are decent articles as well. However, I have not been able to do two articles a week consistently. This, compared with other people who are submitting articles everyday, is quite a pathetic effort. How can I write faster? There must be a way.

My membership with Pipspowergroup recommended a writing system that promises to help you write an article in 30 minutes. I checked into it and found that the system, or rather, practice management, is to help the individual focus on following a fast-writing habit repeatedly until it is second nature. The method is really not extraordinary conceptually; but it is very smart.

The method makes you complete your starting thought with whatever comes to mind that is relevant, even if it is remotely so. It does not allow you to check or critique yourself until the writing is done. By doing so, you get to focus putting down your input on the given topic instead of critiquing yourself or second guessing yourself on if there is a better way to present your point. Such straying of thoughts is what I am habitual to, unfortunately.

It is interesting to realize that my own thoughts were slowing me down. I tend to try to be thoughtful and analyze everything thorougly before taking actions, perhaps to a fault. In the Internet marketing arena, success really comes with duplication of proven steps in many cases. If article marketing is the best method to build backlinks for the gurus, it will work also for the newbies. There is really not much analysis called for in this respect. What is called for is taking actions, and quickly for that matter.

In any event, the main point I'm making here today is that our own thoughts are what slow us down in our effort. If we could be as simple as Forrest Gump, incapable of sophisticated analysis of everything, we may be better blessed in the world of Internet Marketing, as was Forrest Gump in his ventures. We may follow simple directions more readily and focus better in any of our actions.

In terms of writing articles, my thoughts that have often slowed me down, I now realize, are those that try to read from the top after every sentence. I tried to come up with the best sentence in the coherent structure and usually found very little to reword after the article was completed. As such, it would really take time to finish a complete article. This pace will never be enough to build backlinks efficiently.

I resolve here to follow the smart 30 minute article writing system and develop the habit of fast writing. As a starter, I will not check my sentence each time one is written, but will continue with the flow of my thoughts until the topic concludes naturally. I will go back to do edits afterwards. Let's see if this kind of approach will help me produce the kind of articles that I'm pleased with.

Do you share this revelation with me?

Thoughts on Network Marketing

http://www.homebizonlinethatworks.com/

Advertizing, networking or marketing were never my strength. Before I started my simple work from home opportunity, I never needed to deal with them, either. Now that I own an online business, I have begun to relate to some of the concepts underlying network marketing/advertizing. It's all very interesting to learn.

One of the things I have learned is that never worry that there will not be an audience. The truth is that there will always be an audience. Some audiences are aggressive; they actively seek the opportunity to be sold to. Others are laid back; they may not appear to be looking for anything. Regardless of the type of audiences, the network marketer's job is to put himself/his product on the path of the audience so that his product is stumbled upon at minimum. When he puts himself out there to cover as many paths as possible, audiences on those paths are bound to make some sales for him.

It is partly in the spirit of putting myself out there that I started article marketing. I wanted to build some back links but never thought that my articles would catch any personal attention. The other day, one of my newer articles received a vote, which came as a pleasant surprise for me: someone cared enough to comment on my article; and it was a vote of confidence, too. This incidence also reinforces the notion that when the marketer puts himself out there, interaction with his audience is bound to happen.

So, I guess today's thought and lessons learned, for benefit of fellow marketers, are to take action to spread word about your business; and let the rest of the world react to what you have to share with them.
