Finding The Right Home Business Model

Finding the right home business model on the Internet
may or may not be a lot of work. There is no surefire
way to make money, but that doesn’t mean people will
stop trying.

People are finding ways to experiment with new
strategies and are trying to find business models that
actually work for what they need.

The answer is really a no-brainer : If it
doesn’t work, fix it. If your business model is not
working for you, change it. If you are not seeing the
profits you should from your current model, it is time
to change things.

Many businesses have gone through this sort of
change. With more and more people conducting
business over the Internet and more people using
mainstream media, it is only smart to change what no
longer works.

If the tires on your car won’t get you to where you
need to go, then it is obvious that they should
be changed.

Slow sales and slower uptake of online offerings have
forced many companies to focus on their core
competencies.

Companies are now aggressively marketing their services
to companies who need streaming media. Now many businesses
have taken their focus off of hard advertising and are
focusing on media advertising.

They were forced to change their business models or
could have suffered greatly, some even risking
going out of business.

It is very important to have a good business model set
up when going into business for yourself. Learn from
the biggest and most profitable companies.

FOCUS VERSUS AFFILIATE PROGRAM OVERLOAD!

As a “newbie” internet marketer, it is so difficult,
it seems, to focus.

We get caught up so easily in first this wonderful sounding
program, and then the next, and so on, to the point where
e meet ourselves coming and going, kind of like in the old
Duncan Donuts commercial!

I did this in my beginning days, and I am talking BIG TIME!
If it sounded good, I knew I could do well with it because
I had enthusiasm and drive and was almost afraid to let one
pass me by.

At one time, with 6 months net marketing experience, I had
153 affiliate programs going! Eek! So many were so “popular”,
I felt like I would be a failure if I admitted they were just
not working out for me, and the others all made SOME commission
or other gain that assured me that if I could figure out what
I was lacking when I promoted them, I could do them justice.

I got lucky in a way I could not see at the time, when I
accidentally over-wrote my entire Netscape message center
while changing my user name from tallent to jtd. All of a
sudden, if the urls to the programs were not already on one
of my banner heavy eye-sore web pages, I had no access to
any of my member info.

I got the brain storm of going to each web site I could
remember the name of and asking for my username and password,
emailing the webmaster or owner of the program.

The 24 who bothered to reply to me became my Main Programs,
and the ones who had done little or nothing came OFF my web
pages to make room for the ones I was planning on really
going to bat for. Well, most of those programs are somewhere
in cyber-space now, but it was a tiny start toward my getting
SOME focus.

I decided then to only join a new program when another one
could pay my way in.

Funny, at first I felt almost torn about all of the “great offers”
I was passing up, but slowly I started to feel less of the prior
urgency and pressure when I had so many things going I was
onstantly trying to join something I had already gotten into
but had forgotten.

About this same time I started experiencing severe burnout.

I had started looking for a “real job” although my husband
and kids insisted they wanted me at home. I am a very frugal
person (actually I consider myself CHEAP but am told this is
not true!) and my kids and I have lived on a tight budget for
most of their lives, so it is not a real necessity for me to
do more than bring in enough income to supplement that of my
“new” husband (of now 21 months). At the urging of my family,
I decided to give it one more month and then was going to admit
that I did not have what it took to make a difference in our
finances by “working” on the net.

I am so very grateful I got the support I needed then because
one week before the month was up, things really started taking
off for me! Prior to July of 1999 when I became an Internet
Marketing Warrioress, my biggest month had been $200 and I was
ecstatic over that. I found the one, that for ME, was THE
turning point in my marketing career and really got me motivated.
{It was Autolink Pro Submission Service}. I made over $1000 with
this ONE program in six weeks and by then had also gained the
experience and the nerve to push what I truly believe in and
ignore the ones that do not personally fire ME up.

I still have way too many programs that all bring in a steady,
though small income, but I feel they pay for the time they take
up to promote by allowing me to afford to focus on the ones I
really love and have the most success with.

I also still jump on the occasional program that just sounds
like something I cannot live without, but now I make sure my
other ones can “pay my way in” to the ones that require a fee.

With a big old falling down country house, a still “pretty new”
hubby, a married daughter and a son-in-law, an almost 13 year
old son with ADHD and the baby girl who jut turned 8, I have
a reasonably full plate to start out with.

Mix with that a home based desk top publishing agency,
an internet and “live” health services and products business,
an internet employment and bizopp presence, my Newbies911
discussion list and publishing Rim Digest, and you come up
with the perfect recipe for CHAOS, so now it is not at all hard
for me to remember that to take care of everything and everyone,
my best advice for anyone comes in handy for me, too…

Do what you love and you can love what you do.
List your priorities and deal with things as you can.
And when it all seems like too much, take a break,
look at the total picture and …FOCUS

Well, I did it. Not only did I get the very first issue
of TAG, or Tallent Agency Gazzette out to my 25 subscribers
on Tuesday but I bit the bullet, as they say, and sent out
the first issue of MWT, or Marketing Warrioress Tips on
Wednesday. Rim will still be a Thursday issue, TAG is
planned to be a Tuesday one and MWT will be sporadic until
I get past 11 subscribers and then I imagine it will go
out on Saturdays. Eventually MWT will replace Rim Digest
ezine which has no mention of marketing or me in its name.

Feel more than free to sign up for one or the other or both:
mailto:jan@tallentagency.com for TAG and / or MWT.

The first issue of either or both can be sent to you by
sending an email to me at above address with ISSUE in

Search Engine Friendly Pages

There is no point in building a website unless there are
visitors coming in. A major source of traffic for most
sites is search engines like Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Altavista
and so on. By designing a search engine friendly site,
you will be able to rank easily in search engines and
obtain more visitors.

Major search engines use programs called crawlers or robots
to index websites to list on their search result pages.
They follow links to a page, read the content of the page
and record it in their own database, pulling up the listing
as people search for it.

To make your site index easily, avoid using frames on your
website. Frames will only confuse search engine robots and
they might even abandon your site because of that. Also,
frames make it difficult for users to bookmark a specific
page on your site without using long, complicated scripts.

Do not present important information in Flash movies or in
images. Search engine robots can only read text on your
source code so if you present important words in Flash
movies and images rather than textual form, your search
engine ranking will be affected dramatically.

Use meta tags accordingly on each and every page of your
site so that search engine robots know at first glance
what that particular page is about and whether or not to
index it. By using meta tags, you are making the search
engine robot’s job easier so they will crawl and index
your site more frequently.

Stop using wrong HTML tags like <font> to style your page.
Use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) instead because they are
more effective and efficient. By using CSS, you can
eliminate redundant HTML tags and make your pages
much lighter and faster to load.

Positive Quotes

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely
labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and
potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

– Bette Davis (1908-1989) American Actress

and

The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore
they attempt the impossible — and achieve it, generation
after generation.

– Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) American Writer
