Knowledge is power

An Internet business can be broadly divided into two major segments. The first segment is product based business and the other is information based business. Product based business obviously deals with physical products. Information based business deals with creating e-books, rendering services, writing articles, freelancing etc. Your primary task will be to align yourself to any one of the segments.

Find a business that suits you best

The second task is finding a business where your personal knowledge and skills can be employed.

This way, your learning curve will be shorter and you will be able to absorb the needs of the business in quick time. For instance, if you have a very low keyboard speed, writing for the internet may not be the best business for you.

Rome was not built in a day. If you have a friend or relative in physical business, find out how long it has taken to stabilize and earn revenues. Most physical businesses have gestation periods ranging from a few months to even years. Fortunately, starting a online business can earn you revenues almost from the first week when you do it right.

You may consider selling any of its own products or someone else. If you sell someone else, you will not make customer service or create your own products, but also not going to make money both from selling a particular product either. There is still an advantage in selling digital products, because although the commissions of these products can range from 50 percent to 100 percent.

For starters, you need to ask yourself several questions:

1. Will you sell products you created, or will you sell affiliate products? already explained one of the advantages of these two options already. However, the disadvantage of selling their own products is that you have to create first.

2. What will be the topic of the products you sell? You want to find two or three topics to write about. More than that, and you stretch your experience pretty slim, especially if your areas of expertise include topics such as internet marketing, make money, invest, finance, etc.

3. Once you’ve chosen your topic, then what kind of products you are creating? I mentioned the types of digital formats that are available to you. To create video or audio products, there are plenty of free programs available to help you do just that. If you do not have Microsoft Word, Open Office is an excellent choice for creating e-books, and you can find templates of electronic books and books for the two programs on sites like Lulu.

4. If you are selling your own products, where you sell? There are plenty of options: ClickBank, PayDotCom, Tradebit, and others. You may consider selling their products in one or all of these sites. If you are looking for products to sell, these are all great places to choose?

One last tip: if you decide to offer their own products or sell someone else’s, Mix: Selling memberships (this gives you a steady income), sale low cost and high-cost deals. Offers low cost work well to help build your customer list. Offers high-cost work well on the backend.

If you just started online sales of digital products is an easy way to make money online for free, and is very easy to start. Having a theme in mind, choose a product, create some basic marketing materials and begin marketing. Before you know it, you’re making money.

When it comes to design, texture and the color of business cards, customers have infinite number of options. One has to just select the right color, design and then place the order. The company will then work towards giving their customers what they exactly want. Traditional card printing firms usually require one to approach their office and place the order or select what he/she needs. Unlike such firms, online business card printing companies deliver the cards to your doorstep. As a result, the customers save a substantial amount of time. Placing an online order takes not more than five minutes. One can place the order right from the comfort of his/her house or office. Online companies also offer their customers an opportunity to make some easy bargains. Although, these online companies offer their services at a very reasonable price, they do not compromise with the quality.

Using a search engine can be the best way to find a renowned  Online Business Card Printing company. It is important to choose a company only after doing a sufficient amount of research, as some online firms offer services at a very expensive price. In addition, knowing about the past record of the company is very crucial. One can also check out the online reviews on the company that he/she is planning to opt for.

In selecting an SEO or a consultant to work with, consider learning some information about them that can help you decide.  You can ask for samples of their previous work and the successful campaigns they ran before.  You can also ask about their specific fields of specialization and whether they focus on certain geographical areas or not.  Likewise, find out about the most significant SEO techniques they employ.  There are a lot more questions you can ask especially those pertaining to your line of business.

More importantly, make sure that you will not fall for some unscrupulous and unethical SEO’s.  Avoid those who utilize unreasonably aggressive marketing tactics and those who try to unfairly manipulate search engine results.  There are a lot of these SEO’s that promise many things that they cannot deliver.  For one, no one can guarantee the number 1 ranking in major search engines.  These SEO’s can do more damage than good to your internet and online business.

One of the companies rated with an “A” by BBB was the North American company, Goldline, trading in precious metals. This made Goldline quite an attractive and popular choice when it came to investing in bullion, coins or gold. But things became very suspicious when the Santa Monica City Attorney filed charges against Goldline for various violations. Immediately, the BBB changed their ranking to an “F”, the lowest you can rank, and it came to light that Goldline already had over 100 complaints against them.

Goldline International was accused of various illegal activities such as making promises they cannot keep to receive funds, the abuse of the elderly, baiting and switching shams and fraudulent marketing.

One of their favorite scams was where consumers were advised to invest in gold bullion, but shortly afterwards; they were prodded to switch to overpriced rare coins. This made it possible to rake in large amounts of commission. With the industry average being only 15%, Goldline was accused of charging 2000%

With all these complaints, it’s hard to believe that they received an “A” rating by ethical means. And if BBB was innocent why would a sophisticated investigation process not notice any of these suspicious actions? It’s starting to look more and more like BBB is more in it for the money than for the consumers.

By merely taking note of a few numbers, one is sure that something is not right:

Lear Capital Inc  A+ Rating  55 Complaints
Capital Gold Group, Inc  A- Rating  14 Complaints
Goldline International, Inc  F Rating (after accusations).  73 Complaints
Monex Deposit Company  A+ Rating  69 Complaints
Merit Financial Services  A+ Rating  47 Complaints

This is shocking to those who have relied on the BBB for all these years. The executives of Goldline have also been charged by the Santa Monica City Attorney for their part during the supervision of these dodgy dealings. These members are: Luis Beeli, the previous CEO Mark Albarian, Stephanie Howard, Robert Fazio, Charles Boratgis and the existing CEO Scott Carter.

If the public does not force these companies to end their corruptive reign, they will continue this way, assured that they will never be caught and laughing all the way to the bank. Certain suspect questions must also be asked: why are there BBB executives absent from the Santa Monica City Attorneys’ complaint list?

It’s time to take action by doing the following:

Make sure the BBB knows by literally bombarding them with your complaints. You can do this at The Council of Better Business Bureau, 4200 Wilson Blvd, Suite 800, Arlington, VA 22203-1838. Telephone no: 703 276 0100. Fax no: 703 525 8277

Make sure the State Attorney knows by merely looking up the addresses on the site of the state government, titling your complaint as Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices by the Better Business Bureau.

Make sure the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) knows by logging your grievances on their website: hhttp://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

Do not hesitate and allow them to continue robbing the consumers of savings or the elderly from their pensions. Ensure that they know that you know and that you’re planning to do something about it. Immediately.
 

I wondered what it was like for someone who had just lost their job or was on the verge of becoming homeless because of job loss, and how it looked for them to search online for how they could make money online and work at home. Truly free and easy ways to make money online while they work at home online. At least that was my intent.

I said to myself, let’s go search in the ways people may who had lost their jobs and or were at risk for becoming homeless if they didn’t find work soon.

My searches were with the phrases I just mentioned ” how can I make free money online and work at home and how to make free money online or easy money online.

I then decided to go to the top five search results web sites and check them out.

I was not happy with what I found at all. First of all, the last thing I want to do is subscribe to another list and start getting slammed with one promotional email after another that actually tells me nothing at all. You know the ones, they look like a 3am infomercial but in the online version of one of course. I already tried those early on and I didn’t learn anything without having to pay someone. That’s the hook, get you to sign up for their free no nonsense email class. Either that or they guarantee that they can get you to make money online just like them with little or no effort. I promise, you will in some way now or later, have to pay them

The next group that was ever irritating were the ones that did nothing more than gloat over how much they earned. They said they wanted to teach people how to do the same but honestly, I never saw one tiny detail about it. They manage to make free, easy money online by telling you how much free and easy money they have made working at home and that was that.

Alright so I have a few solutions for you on how exactly you can do what all of them claim they have done. Let me make it clear, I have no guarantees that any of them will make you rich overnight or solve all of your financial problems instantly. I can guarantee you that if you are persistent and don’t give up, you will feel better. Why? Because at least you tried.

Alright, I am not going to tell you you have to subscribe to find out how I make money online and you can too. I appreciate people who subscribe to my blogs but it is not a pre-requisite for giving you knowledge. I truly believe that knowledge that improves anyone’s life in any way including financially, should come for free. So subscribe if you like but don’t feel obligated.

The first thing I want you to do is go to wordpress.com and get yourself a free blog. If you are a little more tech/Internet in tune, buy a domain name cheap at 1and1.com or netfirms.com. Both of these hosting companies offer cheap, low cost or discount domain name registration. You need a domain even if it is a free one, to start with your “make free, easy money online, work at home project”. Both of these hosting services also have Fantastico installed in the domain admin panel so you can literally install WordPress on your new domain with the click of your mouse.

Once you have your domain and WordPress blog installed, I want you to get the right plugins installed. My next blog post will be devoted to the best WordPress plugins for people wanting to know how to make money online and work at home with WordPress blogs. These plugins will help monetize your new blog as well as make it search engine and blog directory friendly. This is very important because we are going to rely on free, search engine and free blog directory traffic in our efforts to start making free and easy  money online from home.

Once you have the best plugins installed, activated them, and managed or optimized each in your WordPress admin panel, change the Hello World pre-installed post on your blog, as well as the About page. Talk about what your blog is about in as specific terms as possible with a great emphasis without going overboard, on keywords and keyword phrases. Keywords are words you want people to find you with when they are searching for the product, service or information related to your specific niche, blog content.

Now make some draft posts and keep your pages to the most important or best articles that you want not to be archived like posts. Pages stick around for the duration. Spell check your posts and pages and don’t publish them yet.

Head over to www.adsense.com and join Adsense. Adsense is a free Google advertisement publishing service where you place a small chunk of code in between or surrounding your post and page, within the code. Adsense and Adsense experts have examples of how to insert your Adsense code all over the Internet. One you have done this, publish your post and or page and over the next days and weeks, search for them in Google, Yahoo!, Aol etc. Some search engines and directories take longer to include your site and it’s content than others. If you want to be included in Google quickly, find a popular forum say in Google groups(for example) related to your blog content and post with a link to your site and or pages and posts. The more popular sites are more frequently visited by the Google search engine robots so your link will be picked up sooner in most cases, than just waiting on the Google robots to come around.

I hope this information was of use to you. In my future posts and articles, I will talk about optimizing your titles, tags, posts and pages for search engines. I will also talk about specific plugins and ways to optimize them so that you and your blog can become more successful.

Perhaps the number one online stationary website, mipage.co.uk, have a section where you can choose your calender template and simply go from there. You can upload  pictures or whatever you want to base your calender around and then it is basically four steps to the finished product.

Many people are amazed by this and have actually found out about this service when looking for business cards online but have actually walked away with a calender! The four steps are basically choosing from one of the 5 free calender templates that are available, then upload each one of the pictures that you would like to place in the calender template, not forgetting to type in a picture title if that is what is required.

Then check the copy to make sure everything is ok and decide how many of the calenders that you require, by the way, they really do make such great gifts and the fact that so much perceived work has gone into putting them together makes the calender even more appreciated.

Then you enter the payment details and that is about it. Sit back and wait for delivery.

So next time that you are looking for leaflet printing or business cards online make sure that you take a good look at the calender templates that are available. It is a good bet that your mind will be filled with ideas regarding which type of calender you could produce with only a few clicks of the mouse.

You must be warned though, making up your own calenders can be quite addictive so don’t forget about that leaflet printing that you visited the website for in the first place.
