Hi everyone and welcome,

as many of you know by now I started my online business with Stone Evan’s Plug-in Profit Site and quickly went on to join the PIPS Power Group. This group has to proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt The Importance of Mentors When Starting A Work From Home Business.

When I joined the PIPS Power Group or PPG as the members call it  I was lucky enough to get 6 mentors and not just one. Each and every one of them started their work from home business with PIPS (The Plug-in Profit Site) and now earn a full-time income working  from home  using the Internet. They’ve all “been there, done that” and have made the mistakes and come out the other side. They are there to help us get through the same hurdles they faced and hopefully stop us making the same mistakes.

I just got through with chatting to one of my mentors Jeff Casmer and getting his advice on what I should be doing more of to improve my online business. Jeff was very encouraging and gave me lots of good advice and left me feeling much more positive and focused as a result of our chat.

Jeff is just one of the mentors I’ve chatted to, I’ve already had some great advice from Cynthia Minnaar and I’m looking forward to having a conversation with Jeff Schuman in the near future.

Being part of the PPG really makes you realise the importance of mentors when starting a work from home business.

The other mentors are  Ken Troyer, Mal Keenan and Suzanne Morrison and they are always ready to answer any questions you might have and to point you in the right direction and they all have their own special area of expertise.

You can find out all about these great people in the PIPS Power Book which is a free download, trust me, you’ll learn a lot. If you’ve ever thought about starting your own work from home business, it doesn’t matter whether you have a Plug-in-in Profit Site or not, it will help you immensely.

Joining the PPG was the best thing I did after joining PIPS and made me realise the importance of mentors when starting a work from home business.

All the best,

take care,

Carol

Hi and welcome,

Are you worried about losing your job because of the recession? Have you made up your mind what you are going to do if the unthinkable happens to you? Running your own work from home business could be just the answer you are looking for. Unlike working for a company  working for yourself on the Internet could be a recession proof business if you go about it in the right way.

If you are willing to make the effort to master Internet marketing skills there are huge advantages of setting up a work from home business.

One of the first advantages is the price, if you compare it to setting up any other business it is much, much cheaper. The money you have to spend on a work from home business very small indeed.

Another big advantage is how fast the whole thing can be set up. All you need is a computer and Internet access and you’re all set. Then all you need to do is get yourself a reputable web host and a domain name, most good web hosts will let you register the domain name through them, and set up an autoresponder. The autoresponder I use is even free for the basic account.

If you don’t have anything to sell you can get started very quickly as an Affiliate Marketer and sell other people’s products and get paid a commission every time you sell something. Most affiliate programs are free to join and only take a few minutes to join.

If you choose your niche market carefully you will  see  good profits  during the course of the recession. For example, niche markets related to making money online, business start-ups, job hunting, c.v services, discount voucher services etc. could all be good niches as more and more people seek to save money, earn some extra cash or start work from home business.

Hopefully I’ve helped you to realise that it won’t be the end of the world if you do lose your job because of the recession, in fact it could be the start of something much, much better if you decide to start your own work from home business.

Take care,

Carol

Hi and welcome everyone,

A good way to make money on the Internet is to Start Promoting Clickbank Products.

If you have no idea where to start with this the first thing you are going to need to do is head on over to Clickbank   and open a free affiliate account.

Once you have done that you need to find a good product to promote! One free way of doing that is to go to the Clickbank Marketplace and search there. However, the Clickbank Marketplace is pretty basic so you might want to try an alternative service such as  Cbtrends.com, which is also completely free.

With Cbtrends.com you can browse Clickbank products and order results according to various criteria such as popularity, gravity, earnings per sale, commission rates and so on. You can also check the performance history of individual vendors or products, which is a very useful research tool indeed.

The next thing you are going to need to do before you start promoting Clickbank products is to choose your keywords. You should be able to find several useful keyword phrases by reading the sales page. When researching keywords, look for phrases that have a high level of search activity and a relatively low level of competitiveness. You can use the free Google Adwords research tool to do this.

Now set up a product-related blog. Go over to Blogger.com and set up a free blog specifically about the Clickbank product you want to promote. Ideally, you should include the name of the product in the title of your blog. Now write a short report about the product with a link through to the sales page. The blog is there to generate excitement and curiosity about the product so make the language punchy, powerful and urgent. You can also set up a Squidoo lens about the product to generate more more links and sales. Make sure you place a link on your lens to your blog.

Ok, so now you need to write an article about the product you have chosen.Write the article around one of your keyphrases and submit it to some of the top article directories such as Ezinearticles.com. Your aim is to generate interest in the Clickbank product that you want to sell. You could write a product review or a background news report about the product. However, do NOT try to sell the product and under no circumstances should you put your affiliate link in the main body of the article or even in your signature file at the foot of the article.

So, how do you get the reader from your article to your Clickbank product sales page? You do it by linking your signature file to your blog, the blog you just set up to promote your chosen product.

You have now set up a traffic funnel from your article to your blog and finally to your Clickbank sales page. The blog acts like a bridge between your article and your salespage and if you write a strong blog post it should help to presell the product so that the surfer will arrive on the sales page in a receptive frame of mind, ready to be persuaded that this is the product that he or she needs to solve the problem that you dealt with in your article.

Once you have your blog-sales page link set up you can write more articles, utilizing some of the other keywords that you researched, and submit them to various article directories. Your articles will also be picked up and republished on other websites, which will help to increase traffic flow to your blog. Your blog will also begin to show up on the search engines as you continue to fill it with product related information. Remember to include a link to the sales page with each post.

So there you have it. A quick and easy way for you to Start Promoting Clickbank Products that will help you to start earning money online.

Take care,

Carol

Hi again everyone,

Well I’m home after having a great holiday touring France and yes I managed to stay away from computers the whole time!

And guess what? I returned to find I had a new sign up for SFI and 5 new sign ups for my PIPS home internet income course! Not bad to say I’ve done absolutely no work at all while I’ve been away and I’ve actually managed to earn money on holiday!

I’m going to be spending the rest of today catching up with all my programs, forums, emails..I’ve not read all of them yet!,  who knows, I might even find some more good news telling me I’ve managed to earn money on holiday with more of the opportunities that I promote on my website.. I’m totally convinced, this really is the best business to be in!

How many other home businesses continue to work whilst you are away, totally on autopilot enabling you to earn money on holiday? By using affiliate programs and opportunities I have managed to create residual streams of income that will go on earning me money indefinately.

Once I’ve caught up with everything I’ll be back to let you know how set up your own online business that will let you, like me, earn money on holiday,

until then,

take care,

Carol

Hi again everyone,

Ok, so you’ve decided to start your own business online, picked the program and have been going through the training.  Notice anything? Every so often you are going to be advised to join one program or another or buy certain software to help you succeed, this is where problems can start, especially if you are on a tight budget .  The best way to budget for your online business is to decide what you really must have to get started.

The program you decide on should be free to join or low cost, all the best programs are. After that you are going to need a web host, a domain name and an autoresponder. A good web host will let you register your domain name with them, which makes athings a lot simpler in the long run.

By using an autoresponder you will have the added bonus of creating an email list which will help convert your website visitors into subscribers.  Once you have subscribers to your email list you will then be able to convert your subscribers into paying customers.

That’s it! A web host, domain name and an autoresponder are the only things you are going to need to pay for to start with. How many offline businesses can you set up for less than $50 a month?

Once you have these you can build your website..you can download free templates if you need to and edit them with a free HTML editor , and start to promote your business using blogs (free), writing articles (free), using social networking sites (free) and traffic exchanges (free).

I’m off on holiday for ten days today but will go into more detail about all the above when I get back..I’m going to try to keep away from computers and just rest and relax..hmm, we’ll see…

Until then,

Take care,

Carol

Hi everbody, thanks for visiting and all your comments, keep ‘em coming!

If you’ve decided that, like me, you want to start your own home based business but are still unsure of which way to do it then I suggest you start thinking about what you enjoy doing. What are your interests and hobbies? To be successful on the Internet you are going to have to enjoy what you are doing as you are going to have to work hard at getting your business off the ground and it won’t happen overnight.

Whatever it is you enjoy doing there are plenty of opportunities and programs online that will help you start your own home based business. This is why affiliate marketing is such a great way to get started in the first place. All the best affiliate programs have training included and will help you understand how to set up your business and then promote it successfully so that you can start earning money from it.

First you are going to have to decide which opportunity or program is the best one for you to start your own home based business with and then follow the training program provided with it, take your time, set a budget for yourself (and stick to it!) and decide how many hours a week you can devote to your business. If you already have a full time job then dont say 20 hours a week when you know this is going to be impossible.  Most of the successful people online started off doing what they are doing on a part-time basis.

Be realistic when planning  your business, set yourself goals, make ‘to do’ lists and cross things off when you do them, it gives you a great sense of achievement as you do this. Above all remember that when you start your own home based business,  you are starting a new business, from scratch, and like any new business it is going to take time and lot of hard work to make it succesful.

Next time I will tell you the best ways to budget for your business, you may be surprised to learn how little it will cost you to start your own home based business on the Internet,

Until then,

Take care,

Carol

Hi everyone, ok, here’s the exciting news I mentioned in my last post!

As a member of the PIPS Power Group I have received more help with my online business than I ever dreamed possible, I told you about just a few of the benefits a couple of days ago.

All 6 of the mentors always go that extra mile to help all of us in any way they can, and now they have truly outdone themselves! They’ve written a book called the PIPS Power Group Book about how they got where they are today, yep you read that right, I now know how my mentors make a living online!

It’s all in there,  their history, their success stories, their mistakes (and how to avoid them), their favourite tools and products (and how to use them), their daily routines, tips, advice and loads, loads more! The story of how my mentors make a living online has been a great help to me already and it’s only just been released and I know I’m going to refer to it again and again and whenever I need to.

Also included in the book are testimonials from current members of the PIPS Power Group (mines on page 63) which will give you a great insight into how the mentors have helped us all with our online businesses.

It really is brilliant and a MUST read for anyone who is serious about making a living on the Internet. And the best news of all?.. It’s FREE, it won’t cost you a penny. If you want to know how my mentors make living online (and a very good one!) then I advise you to go and download the PIPS Power Group Book now!

Hi again everyone,

Today, as promised I’m going to tell you about the great group of people that have helped me get this far in realising my dream to Earn a Living on the Internet.

As you probably know, if you have been following my progress, I first started back in November ‘07..was it really that long ago?  I signed up for The Plug-in Profit Site and followed all the 30 days of training supplied with it, faithfully, day by day.

I then found out that a group of 6 people, who were now able to earn a living on the internet, thanks to PIPS, were starting their own forum, dedicated to helping people like themselves, and carrying on where the original training left off.

These 6 people are: Ken Troyer, Mal Keenan, Jeff Schuman, Jeff Casmer, Suzanne Morrison and Cynthia Minnar and I have never looked back since I joined up. I am now closer than ever to being able to earn a living on the internet!

The name of the forum that they started together is The PIPS Power Group and the 6 mentors are absolutely brilliant! They answer all our questions, no matter how trivial we think they may be, we can even have phone conversations with them, they give us monthly bonuses, provide us with never ending tips, they really are committed to helping all of us to earn a living on the internet.

There is a section in the forum where they take us step-by-step and literally lead us by the hand teaching us all the time how to optimise our sites, get backlinks, create blogs and much, much more. Thanks to them I am now well on my way to being able to earn a living on the internet.

And now they have outdone themselves again! They have just given us some more exciting news and I’m going to tell you all about that next time.

Until then,

Take care,

Carol

Hi again everyone,
Today I’m going to tell you about a great ebook I’ve come across by Rosalind Gardner.  It’s called The Super Affiliate Handbook and it really is the ultimate ebook for anyone who wants to start working from home as an Affiliate Marketer.

Rosalind excels as an affiliate marketer and will teach you everything you need to know about affiliate marketing. She quit her day job as an air traffic controller in 2000 and now earns 100% of her income online. In her Handbook she will teach you how to become an affiliate marker using a proven Step-by-Step Plan including:

235  information-packed pages of practical tips and real-life examples of WORKING affiliate sites.

“How To” strategies to save you money, time, and effort while building your affiliate marketing business.

An easy-to-understand 5-step overview of the business-building process.

Rosalind will also  teach you  EXACTLY what Super Affiliates do that other affiliates don’t do and give you the 20 questions that You MUST get answers to BEFORE you join any affiliate program.

And she doesn’t stop there, I was amazed at how much information she was giving me , everything from keyword and niche  market research, installing and setting up a blog, advertising, Google Adsense and loads more and all with screenshots to make learning even easier for you.

In her down-to-earth, sincere and often humorous style, Rosalind Gardner guides you through the entire process of building an affiliate marketing business on the ‘Net.

If you want to read the amazing true story of how one woman, with no previous business experience, earned $436,797 in 2002 and now earns MUCH MORE than that, just by selling other people’s stuff online then take a look at The Super Affiliate Handbook, you won’t regret it, I certainly don’t.
