Are you an article writer?

I'm looking for FEEDBACK here:

You all know that article marketing is probably the single best way to brand yourself and get free traffic to your website. I hope you've submitted to MyKidsInheritance.com's Article Directory, but even if you submit to Article Dashboard, I've probably got your articles in my directory already (syndication is a wonderful thing!).

What I'm looking for is those of you who also, or rather, submit to services like Associated Content and Helium. I want to hear about your experiences, successes, failures, income potential, you name it -- I want to hear about it.

Share with the crowd...tell us what you think!!

Take Your Time and Be Patient When Starting Your Own Business

How do entrepreneurs do it? How do they come up with thoughts and plans that grow into successful, financially sound endeavors?

It all starts with an idea. Remember, even though it will be your own business and you will be, in effect, working for nobody but yourself, it must be treated like a real business and taken very, very seriously in order to succeed. So keep in mind that this is your opportunity to actually do something you truly enjoy all day long. The idea can be a hobby, an interest, or even an area where you have just noticed a real need in your community. They possibilities are virtually endless, so focus only on the ones that you are passionate about and you feel you can dedicate yourself to turning into reality.

You will want to begin to build your own business slowly, ensuring that you have a written plan, complete with anticipated dates of achievement for each action step you lay out. It is important for you to go slow so that you can nurture your idea and avoid the frustration that comes with setting unattainable goals for yourself. Some companies fail because they grow too fast and then they can’t deal with the rapid change. Because you are so excited about the prospect of having your own business, the excitement will come through in your voice when you speak about it to potential customers. That is what will sell it initially, and later the reputation of your company and testimonials from satisfied customers will carry the business forward. But you must be cautious in the initial stages when you enjoy some success, as the inclination will be to spend the profits too quickly rather than reinvesting appropriately back to the business. Further, you may be ready to spend limited resources in the company but in places and ways that may be best, as you have failed to do your due diligence. Keep your feet firmly planted and remember that as quickly as you have managed to have these successes you can just as easily lose them and sour yourself for self-employment altogether.

When it comes to getting started, you don’t want to take on a lot of work at once before you are able to learn how to manage the workload. Sure, the excitement will carry you forward at the onset, but you can quickly burn out by taking on more than you can handle before your small business has properly gotten off the ground.

There is a certain element of supply and demand in every business, so be careful to try to balance this aspect of your company. If your community, for example, has no child care program and many working parents, you can consider providing a baby-sitting service. However, although 20 mothers may call you about potential openings, you cannot closely and safely provide care for 20 or more children every day, at least not if you are the sole owner with no employees. Although you will really want to make as much money as possible, you will want to make sure that you do not lower the quality standards of your work. Once you are able to have a good customer base you can then raise the prices and create your supply and demand curves. You will see that this scenario applies no matter what area of business you choose.

Most importantly, you will want to make sure that you have thought everything through before you open the doors to your small business. Do a lot of research on your perceived customers and even more research on your competition in order to ensure your business will run smoothly. What is it that makes these businesses successful? What provides the most satisfaction for customers that will keep them from shopping around for services or products from another company? You may feel rushed for time, but by building your ideas slowly and therefore more thoroughly, your business is more likely to succeed.

Contrary to what you may have heard, it does take money to make money. You will want to make sure that you pay close attention to all of the details of the business and products or services and speak to experts in the field to ensure you are truly spending each dollar wisely. Do not spend more money than you and your family are completely comfortable with spending. Putting additional pressure on yourself and your business to recoup extremely limited resources too quickly is a recipe for failure. Carefully consider all costs before you start the business. Once again, you should always begin small and then slowly build the business. You will find that you can create a strong foundation when you go slowly, and you will find it is just like building a house -- it is less likely to crumble when the inevitable storms hit.

Built properly, a business of your own can be not only the ticket to financial freedom, but also the most generous form of inheritance for future generations.

Do you use Traffic Swarm to advertise your website?

No? Well here's a great interview from my Warrior Forum friend, Doug Gorman, on his pips-news.blogspot.com site:

Traffic Swarm Interview - The #1 Traffic Exchange Online
This is my interview with Tim Adams, Managing Director of TrafficSwarm. I wanted to know what sets TS apart from everyone else and what we could look forward to from them in the future.

How did you come to work with Stone Evans and the Plug-In Profit Site program?

"We were looking for a legitimate business program that would appeal to both the Internet newbie and someone who had some experience online. Ease of use was a key factor as well as the quality of the service itself. Stone's Plug-In Profit Site program met all of our criteria. We made a great choice too as other programs have come and gone, but Stone's Plug-In Profit Site system has remained steady and strong."

What sets TrafficSwarm apart from the competition?

"Two main factors jump to my mind when I'm asked that question. With nearly 500,000 users, we're far and away the largest traffic exchange on the internet. We're not just a small, niche traffic club.

We're different in that we have ads that users have to click to see that particular website. This makes for a better experience for the surfer, because they don't have to sit and look at sites that don't interest them if they don't want to. Plus, for the advertiser, it simulates a REAL WORLD marketing environment.

Your page doesn't just magically appear to people surfing the web, now does it? Your visitors have to click on an ad or link to get to your site. We create the same environment on TrafficSwarm which helps our users hone their ad writing skills for better results on TrafficSwarm and everywhere else they advertise online."

What is something that TrafficSwarm offers that people tend to overlook that can be very valuable for generating traffic to their website(s)?

"Many new Internet users don't follow proven online marketing concepts because it's counter-intuitive to them. They're CONVINCED they can do it better and then when results are poor they give up and move on. All of our users should be sure and pay attention to the advice from TrafficSwarm newsletters, workshops, etc. The advice only works if you use it and apply it."

What can we expect in the future from TrafficSwarm?

"Well, you won't have to wait too long to find out. 2008 will bring a lot of changes to TrafficSwarm that will solidify our stranglehold as the # 1 traffic exchange on the Internet. A new look and design, as well as new fun features are just a taste of what's in store. Plus, we'll be doing more than ever before to take our users by-the-hand to generate conversions and sales for their website."

How to Successfully Work At Home with Your Own Home Business

To own your home business and to work at home are the two most often uttered phrases when an employee is asked what they would love to do instead of going to work every day. Perhaps it is the sense of accomplishment that goes hand in hand with owning a home business, or maybe it is the joy of being at home in familiar surroundings while still doing work that will earn you a check. Whatever the case may be, successfully working at home with your own home business is not something that happens by chance but instead something that needs to be planned.

Here are some tips on working at home with your own business:

Set up a home office. Working at home has many perks, but if you do not have a dedicated work space, you will not be able to enjoy them very much. After all, your business’ credibility will suffer if prospective customers hear the Disney channel in the background. Set apart some work space that will allow you to close a door or at least to be undisturbed by whatever goes on in another part of your home.

Set some office hours and stick to them. It is tempting to devote every waking hour to your new business, but keep in mind that doing so will not only lead to a quick burnout, but it will also counteract any positive experiences you could have while working at home – such as spending more time with your family, actually cooking them a nutritious breakfast, or being home and available when the school bus drops off the kids. It is not fair to your family to work during off hours!

Learn to say “no.” For reasons that may invite endless speculation, when friends and family hear that you are now working from home, many will take this as an open invitation to drop by and visit, request that you watch their kids, or run some errands. It is important to gently but firmly say “no” when these requests fall during your business hours. Remember, you took this step so you could be home with your family! If you begin toying with your business hours to help out everyone who asks, you will find yourself compromising the time you have scheduled for your family!

Be innovative, think outside the box, and do not be afraid to try something new. This is true especially when it comes to marketing your new business! If, for example, you run a pet grooming business and if you own a dog, go ahead and dress the little canine up in a cute costume and then hand out flyers at the local park.

As you can see, running a successful home business depends on your ability to work at home undisturbed and with all the discipline that working for an employer previously demanded.
