Exciting New Changes!

I wanted to apologize for the lack of posts lately. We are currently in the process of moving the blog to a dedicated, hosted server. The blog will move from a simple blog to a magazine style blog which will include sections for business ideas, marketing ideas, technology, and even more to include fashion, beauty, health, etc. It will be a premiere, online magazine for the home business woman entrepreneur. I will try to add as much content here until we are ready to launch. But if you notice lack of content, this be the reason. I'll also try and get newsletters out, but it may not be weekly as previously promised. Stay tuned!

Keeping Your Options Open

When many people are starting out in the Internet business, they want instant gratification. Meaning they want to make as much money as possible, yesterday. That drive pushes them in a certain direction, which we seem time and time again:
People just starting out tend to focus on "money-makers," not on growing a long-term business.
This is the reason many choose affiliate marketing in the beginning. I'm sure you've seen statements like this on sales pages that recommend affiliate marketing related courses or products:

Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest, easiest ways to make money online. Best of all, you don't even need your own product!

That's absolutely true. But it's only part of the story. The "rest of the story" (as radio personality Paul Harvey might say) is that you're going to end up wanting your own product...and your own brand to put that product under...and your own business that you control pretty much 100%.

Affiliate marketing doesn't give you those things.

It's much smart to grow your own business and brand first and use affiliate marketing as part of your strategy to earn income while doing that. That's exactly what the reprint rights marketing model we're going to show you how to set up will let you do. It has three big advantages:
It's still relatively easy and inexpensive to set up...and you can make money with it quickly
It gets you started on growing your own business and brand
The income potential is still huge
In short, the right Internet business mindset is this:

You should focus on growing your own brand and business online, while you achieve a consistently positive cash flow quickly.

The reprint rights marketing model I'll walk you through fits that to a "T," and will keep you on the right mindset road over the long term.

In addition to the reprint rights marketing model, another way to achieve your own business and brand online is through Network Marketing and using a Virtual Business Network.

Many may criticize and discourage against Network Marketing; however, we found with the right company, this can be one of the most lucrative business models no matter what industry you are in. Another term may be Multiple Level Marketing.

You must consider the compensation plan, the product and the integrity of the company before jumping on board. Network marketing appeals to so many people because of the long term residual income it provides, but you should also be looking for a company that provides immediate cash flow as well. These companies are absolutely available.

The biggest benefit of network marketing is the idea of working as a team. If you are injured or not able to work, your income does not stop. When you stop performing, others on your team remain working, thus your residual income continues to be deposited into your bank account monthly.

Although Affiliate Marketing should not be your main source of income, it certainly is a decent supplemental income, we'll touch on this in later issues.

Blogging also offers decent supplemental income. In fact some earn a full time income from blogging, but this takes a considerable amount of time to build to this type of income. We believe the best way to use a blog to earn income is to use it as advertising your brand and your product. It is possible to earn income from it directly through advertising and affiliate marketing, but we prefer using it indirectly.

5 Easy Steps To Generating Traffic

This is the formula I use to generate traffic, easily, quickly & freely!

1.) Write an article with good content & submit to article directory like ezinearticles.com. Your article should have links back to blog, landing page, website, wherever you're trying to drive traffic.
2.) Once article has been published and you have link to where article is, publish on your blog, with a link back to the article. Something like, originally published at ......
3.) Put same article on other sources, with link back to original source, as in step 2
4.) Advertise the new article on Facebook & Twitter (or whatever social media sites you use).
5.) Social bookmark everything on sites like delicious.com. You should social bookmark everything you have on the internet to drive traffic.

I think this is a great, free way to generate traffic to wherever you need it to go!

To Your Success,
