“You gotta get your mind right!” – Keeping your perspective in all things
I heard the story told recently about a king in Africa who had a close friend that he grew up with. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) and remarking, “This is good!”
One day the king and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation the friend remarked as usual, “This is good!”. To which the king replied, “No, this is NOT good!” and proceeded to send his friend to jail.
About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took them to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to the stake.
As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone that was less than whole. So untying the king they sent him on his way.
As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. “You were right” he said, “it was good that my thumb was blown off.” And he proceeded to tell the friend all that had just happened. “And so I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this.”
“No,” his friend replied, “this is good!”
“What do you mean, ‘this is good’! How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year.”
“If I had NOT been in jail, I would have been with you.”

What sets one Home based business apart from others?
What sets one business opportunity apart from others. I submit to you, leverage, risk reward, and product. Product being the most important.
Leverage:
If you start a business, what is your upside earning potential, and do you really own a business or does that business own you. If you stop working, how long until those checks stop coming in. I along with Donald Trump, and Robert Kiosaki will tell you that not all network marketing opportunities are the same. However there are plenty that are good, and a few that are GREAT.
Risk Reward:
What is my upfront cost, and what is my monthly cost and what’s my total earning potential AND how long will it take to earn 100k annually.
With many MLM’s you have an upfront cost of a few hundred dollars, then you need to increase your monthly expense as well in order to buy a product you didn’t know you needed or wanted prior to the “opportunity” which can range from as low as $30 dollars a month to a few hundred. Then you need to convince other people to buy into the same opportunity also buying a product before you they never new they needed or wanted as well and teach them how to sell others and then eventually you’ll earn some money. After years of spending that 30-100+ dollars a month. You’ll recieve your biggest check ever. $130 dollars a month. Yea!
Product: What sets your product apart from other companies products.
Health products are great! More people should use them that don’t. With 1/3 Americans obese, 1/3 Americans over weight and only 1/3 considered fit, of that 1/3 how many truly are looking to increase their expenses for their health.
I needed something recession proof, universal, for all from the age of 8 to 80+
Everyone in America uses cell phones. Most bills range from 50 to 100+ for tier one providers. If there was a way to reduce or eliminate that cell phone bill all together. That would truly be amazing. Welcome to WOW mobile.
What sets this apart from other network marketing opportunities.
1. Our product isn’t a product but a service everyone already uses and NEEDS.
2. No training on how to use this product.
3. No selling, everyone already owns one.
4. No change in habits. Pay your bill the same way you always have and use it the same way you always have.
FACT:
My overhead, or monthly cost for being in business for myself is less then your cost of not. I referred 3 people, and now I get FREE cell phone service and don’t have to pay for my business website either.
www.IwantFREEmobile.com – 954.282.1448
That’s my two cents.
Good luck and God Bless!

You’ve even written several blog entries in advance so that you have plenty of fresh content to post. Your intent is to blog to make money and you’ve just posted your first of many blog entries so your site is now ‘live’ on the internet. Where do you go from here?
The early phases of your blog development are critical in determining how quickly you will be able build a list of subscribers and make money.
Now that your blog is live here are 5 things you’ll need to do to accelerate the growth of your business to earn an income.
Schedule Your Work
You will need to determine the tasks that will have to be completed on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. This schedule will be your ‘action plan’ and should involve those activities necessary for the growth of your blog.
Your initial focus will be on marketing your site and insuring that it is being presented to your readers in professional manner. Early duties should include traffic generation, content creation, and networking out within the blogging community of your particular niche.
Content Creation
This phase of your blogging efforts will always be important but never more so than the infancy stages of your blog. This is the time for you to make your first impression and begin attracting your reader base. Your content should be useful and relevant to both the blog reader and the blog theme.
Post frequently in the early stages but as you see your subscriber base grow you will want to spend time both listening and responding to their comments. Encourage their interaction by asking them questions or for their comments on your posts or site design.
Hold Off on Your Marketing
In the beginning your sole focus will be satisfying the blog reader who visits your site. By attempting to sell anything too early will only drive your readers away. Build up their allegiance first by supplying great content for them to read.
Link Development
This will be significant part of your marketing strategy. By building links with other blogs and sites that have higher rankings you will boost your blog higher in search results. Reciprocal links from other sites will also create a flow of traffic to your blog. This can be achieved by leaving insightful and useful comments on other blog sites. Submitting articles is another way to develop links with higher ranking article submission sites that will link back to your blog after your article is published.
Rinse and Repeat
By focusing only on generating traffic and creating relevant quality content in the early stages of your blog you will be able to establish a solid reader base.
Although these actions may seem slow to yield the results you want the longer you stick with it the faster your blog will grow.
A home business blog can earn you a comfortable living provided you’ve first based it upon accurate market research information. Once your site has been launched you are now in the blog development stages of your site. During this time it is imperative you continue to post fresh blog entries with relevant and useful information to attract readers to your site. If you blog to make money it’s important to first build a subscriber base before attempting to market anything to your readers. The 5 steps we reviewed above will provide you direction during the early stages of your site. Your intentions will be to build a healthy reader base. With a little patience and resolve there is no reason you can’t successfully grow your site into a blog that will earn you a significant income.
How to Become the Best Blog Site in Your Niche
Posted by Josh on December 31, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Being the best blog site in your niche carries many advantages especially if you blog to make money. Operating a blog that has a strong following is a reflection of the dedication and commitment invested into the ongoing process of the blog development itself. Any blog owner/operator knows what it takes to attract and retain the average blog reader and this is not something that happens overnight.
Now if you blog to make money you can see how a strong reader base could benefit you financially. In addition your authority within the niche will make it all the easier for you to attract additional readers since other blogs will have the tendency to link to your site.
What we’re going to focus on here today is the importance of paying attention to the comments left by subscribers at your site. Within these comments you can find valuable nuggets of information that can be used to improve not only the blog but even your marketing strategy.
Here are 3 ways to use these blog reader comments that can help you become a more effective blogger and marketer.
Market Research Information
Putting out questions to your subscribers asking their opinions on certain products or trends could yield useful market research information as to current consumer preferences. Another approach could be polling your readers on what are some of their more pressing problems to which they wish they had a solution: what bugs them!
In both these scenarios the response of your subscribers could uncover a previously hidden niche or trend you could capitalize on. Market research information like this can easily cost a significant sum for a large corporation but you can collect this information right from your blog and use it to your advantage.
Blog Performance Feedback
Asking for opinions on the subjects of your post or perhaps the content itself can give you feedback as to whether you may need to make a change. Even simple inquiries about the layout of your blog, the graphics that are used, or the format of your posts could lead to dramatic improvements for the site.
Remember your blog is really for your readers so you should strive to give them what they want.
Encourages Interaction
Involving subscribers in these polling processes or even merely responding to their comments helps complete the ‘cycle’ of interactivity. This creates a sense of community for subscribers and increases their satisfaction. People like to know that their words or opinions are being heard and better yet acted upon.
Being the best blog site within your niche comes with many advantages and benefits but it also translates into a certain amount of commitment. When you blog to make money the stakes go even higher. Learning to tap into any available resource that can enhance your blog development and marketing effectiveness is a valuable skill. Using comments left by blog readers as we discussed above will allow you to put more distance between yourself and your competition. It is simply up to you to recognize and act upon any useful information a blog reader may have already left on the site for you even if it hasn’t been solicited.
