To create an AdSense site, all that is required is to have a Google AdSense account (which is free), a website or a blog (which is free), and some articles (which are free if you write them yourself). Once you have your site up and running, the google AdSense ads will be targeted to your content. Therefore, those surfing for your content will come in, read your articles, and have a high chance of being interested in the targeted ads. You will get paid every time someone clicks an ad. Provided you have optimize your site to maximize AdSense clickthroughs! Let's look at seven ways for creating AdSense websites that make money. 1. Keyword Density Prior to placing your ads on your site, be sure your keyword density is good. You certainly want the right kinds of ads to show up on your website. A free way to check what the ads will look like on your site is to go to http://www.resultsgenerator.com/adsense/ and type in your keywords. You will then be able to see exactly what ads would show on your site. If you don't like what you see, then you know that you need to make changes to your keywords! You can get keyword suggestions from Results Generator from Overture or from the free trial version of niche bot. 2. Relevant As informed ads will be based on your keywords, but they will also be based on your content as well. You certainly want your keywords and your content to match as much as possible. 3. Write frequently The more information you have the better your website. Why? Because more content means more visitors will come visit your site. Many people recommend that you write a new article every day because no one wants to come back to your site to find the same old messages! 4. Select The Right Format AdSense allows you to choose many special ad formats. Study has revealed that wider ads are more successful. The top three formats are: " 336x280 large rectangle " 300x250 medium rectangle " 160x600 wide skyscraper Additionally, the 468x15 horizontal ad link under the navigation bar is also a good bet. 5. Color Counts You have the choice to generate a Google AdSense ad in several color of your choice. The greatest thing to do is to create your ad combine well with your site color scheme. You must make the border color and the background color the same color as your web site. You will want your text color to either be black or similar the color of your main content. When selecting your Google AdSense ads it is suggested to use the color scheme and style of your website so that the ads blend in well. Ads without background color and borders perform better than ads within borders with background color. 6. Position Counts, as well It is well acknowledged that visitors to a website look into the site to determine if it is worth reading. You certainly would like them to see and scan your AdSense ads. Hence, the best place to place them is in the top left part of your web page or directly under your headlines. 7. Add to The Number AdSense allows you to use up to three AdSense units on a page, two AdSense search boxes, and one unit of ad links. Using all that you can increases the likelihood of earning money. Keep these seven sure ways in mind when creating your AdSense site and you will find that your click through rates increases, thus increasing your money making prospective. posted by braycool@gmail.com at 12:45 0 comments 23 More Adsense Tips in Blogging by: Ernan Baldomero When I first made a “real website” by buying my own domain (Blogging the Internet), I started to tinker with various content management programs to build my site, and later learned that blogging is the easiest way. Now I’m sticking to it. But at first I was one of the million newbie webmasters who are lured to the “get rich quick” paranoia” that abound in the internet and also tried my best looking for internet programs that will take me to that paranoia. I was utilizing various pre-hosted sites (my favorite is Freehostia in doing the test-and-try website building trying to find my own niche on the cyberspace and the same time hoping that I will earn somehow through it. I joined pay per click programs (PPC) where you click banner and text ads and then pay you cents and worse joined a High-Yield Investment Program (HYIP) and was cheated. I lost a couple of dollars joining the site and I swear to myself that I will not join one again. My frustration is getting worse when I also joined affiliate programs such as Commission Junction, Linkshare and SFI and expected to earn but to avail. These site as good in their own way but my skills in affiliate marketing is very poor and my highest earnings was about $20.40 from CJ when I used my own affiliate link to purchase my own domain. I share some dilemma with people who say that “internet income is just a false dream”. I am not a risk-taker especially on the internet. The last thing that I will want myself is to be a victim of internet fraud and loss my hard-earned money and like most cybercitizens I want money and if possible free from the internet. Then I meet the leader of contextual advertising – AdSense. AdSense program is 100% free and I have applied to it the moment I wonder why most sites I have visit has that ads powered by AdSense. I applied four times, three times rejected and finally allowed to post ads to my sites using their script code. It took me quite awhile to be able to put AdSense ads in my site considering that I am still learning how to make a site and my knowledge about PHP and HTML is limited. Since I decided to focus on having a blog, I tried to invest an ad placement on my blog placement, having that trial and error process on making a good and professional looking blog and took a longer time finding a suitable Adsense Friendly template (I’m using Wordpress). Adsense, like any other contextual advertising program uses your blog content and keywords to place related and suitable ads on your site in a way not to confuse your readers of what is your site all about and irritated for placing blatant advertising banners. The ads put by Adsense have a better chance to be click and earn money from it. Though Adsense doesn’t allow you to select what ads will appear in your site, you can still exclude ads from your direct competitors (sites that have the same topic or products that you have). How Adsense know what Ads are to place in your site? Google uses bots (Google bots), an engine that regularly visits your pages and read your site content, keywords, structure and formatting of pages, language you use and tell Adsense to display ads related to what it sees. The bot also tells AdSense what IP address you use (your location) to display related ads near your region. The longer that your site is up, the more the bot will access your site and later a tighter match f ads related to your blog will show up. Google bot mostly uses keywords as its tip to Google, so there is a need to use proper keywords on your post because for some reason Adsense prefers post with less picture and larger or bold text in zeroing the subject of your blog. However, be careful in suing too many keywords. You may make Google Bot understands more quickly your site content but at the same time distracts your readers. A good post that is informative will surely attract readers and make them come back to your site, but you will, but using irrelevant and annoying keywords will drive them away from your site and instead look for other blog that is more useful to your read. Losing a visitor will also results to loss of your Adsense earnings. Treat your readers by giving them useful information, and not to make them feel that you are just using your blog to make money. There’s nothing wrong in pleasing Googlebot and your readers at the same time. Why not hit the two birds with one big stone? It will be a great help that your keyword is also your title and use them on your post as well. Ex. You write about computers, make sure it is in the title and repeated in the post so that tightly match of ads will also show thus having a high click through rate from your readers. Try not to copy content from free sites. You will not only lose your credibility as a blogger, worse risking to be accuse of plagiarism and also getting Google irritated with splogs (short for spam blogs) post. Splogs is very dangerous because it may results to the termination of your account. Anyway who advertise to your blogs? Google has a program called Adwords, where business or site owners like you pay to advertise their product and services and also to drive real traffic to their websites. These guys are bidding on a certain keywords related to their site content and pays some amount depending on the keywords popularity. They post their ads on Adwords and then it is being shown in Adsense. posted by braycool@gmail.com at 12:43 0 comments 22 3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online by: Steven Yap Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication. There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online. What are these three tactics? 1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more. Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing. You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more. 2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect. Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch. Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services. 3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest. Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day. Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic. The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part. Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do. Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving… Click here. Super Affiliate Review http://www.stevenyap.com posted by braycool@gmail.com at 12:42 0 comments 21 Why Free Internet Advertising Can Work For Your Business by: William Hutchinson When you first start your own business at home you are faced with the obstacle of how to promote it. If you don't have one you're going to need a website and you're going to need traffic coming to it. If money is an obstacle then you are going to need to find ways to promote your business for free. In this article we want to talk about free Internet advertising, and how you can do that to get traffic for your new business website. The first thing to understand about marketing on the Internet is that if you do not have to have money to drive traffic to your website you're going to have to make up for that by investing time. This is one of the great things about the Internet, however. Anybody regardless of their present income status can start their own business at home and make it profitable by doing just a few different types of free advertising methods. When we talk about getting traffic to a website we're talking about a visitor and a potential paying customer. Once they are on your site they can make a purchase therefore earning you a commission on that sale. So it only stands to reason that the more visitors that you have coming to your site the more opportunities you have to make a sale. One effective method that has worked over the years and is continuing to work is known as article marketing. When you do article marketing you target a primary keyword and write your article around it. You then submit those articles to article directories where they are published online for other people to view. The way that this can benefit you is when you write a quality article, at the end of the article you're allowed to create a bio box. This resource box is a short classified ad promoting yourself, your website and your new business. You're allowed to list your website address, and when people click on that they are taken to your website. For article marketing to work you need to write a lot of articles and get those submitted to as many quality article directories as possible. If you don't have money to pay to use a submission service then you're going to have to manually enter those articles 1 at a time. This brings us back to what we talked about earlier, in terms of investing more time you do not have to have money to spend promoting. Your goal with article marketing is to get your website address on as many potential pages as possible. This is known as getting a link back to your website or a back link. A back link is another free Internet marketing method. You need to get as many back links pointing back to your website is possible. You can do this through free classified ads, forum marketing, blogging, social networking, and anything you can think of that allows you to get your website address on somebody else's website. This summarizes free Internet advertising. You are going to have to be creative and you're going to be ambitious, but the more backlinks pointing to your site the more potential traffic you will have. The good news is when you start your own business at home the internet can help you promote it inexpensively. posted by braycool@gmail.com at 12:42 0 comments 20 Home Based Internet Marketing Business by: Dale L. Young Internet marketing has become an effective source of supplemental income and a viable alternative to the typical career paths of the past century. With the recognized potential to create wealth at home, more people are enjoying the lifestyle of being self-employed. Becoming an internet marketer is very easy to do, which compels people from virtually every known job setting to start their own businesses or simply earn supplemental income. The leading online business opportunities provide all the tools, training and a system necessary to earn money immediately- for a nominal start-up fee. It is not necessary to create a business plan. There is no invention nor patents required. There is no research needed to discover a new or better product. The main thing a person needs to do is find a reputable and honest company that one can trust and believe in. Then, learn the products and services and get passionate about them. This process gives people the opportunity to start a home business with very low risk and very low financial commitment. One of the most attractive benefits of internet marketing is that the owners have balance in their lives. They have time for their families and themselves. Success in the field doesn't require any specialized education or sales experience. Anybody can learn to be eager to work for themselves by advertising the right business and being themselves. Most sales skills can be learned through the training provided by the company and goals can be reached by utilizing the business building tools offered by most companies. Owning an internet marketing business provides an opportunity to create substantial wealth. It eliminates many of the inherent problems of small business ownership through low startup costs, low overhead, and limited or no employee hassles. One gets the proven success of a franchise combined with the freedom of an independant contractor. There is little doubt that a home business can thrive in the midst of a change of structure in most corporate retirement plans. The online opportunities available to everyone interested in having a workplace that sets in the office within the home require more than just a glance. It would be prudent to put "start my own business" on the things-to-do list and then, actually do it.

So, if you don’t like to work but have to work anyway, why stick yourself into a job with low pay? The best solution would be to find a high-paying job, work hard and then start your own business if you can. The problem is, even with a high paying job, you can’t earn enough money to start a business. The World Wide Web, being an economy in itself, offers a variety of opportunities for making money. You can try your hand at freelance jobs like data encoding, medical transcription, article composition and programming. There are a number of freelancer websites that you can join so you may work at home and put some extra money in your pocket. Start-up capital = $0 There are supposedly expert moneymakers who, for a small fee of $100 to $200 will teach you how to earn $2,000 to $10,000 a month. You can try out their system for free, but, you will have to place a deposit to be able to get the free trial. Start-up capital = $49 to $100 depending on deposit requirements. Finally, you can be a passive internet salesperson. I call it passive because all you have to do is establish a base of operations in the internet. Once that base has been established, you have the potential to earn from $0 to unlimited income. All you have to do afterwards is maintain or update that base once every three months. And yes, this advice is free. No trial offers, and no deposits required. Read on please. Vendor sites like amazon.com offer internet surfers the opportunity of earning additional income in exchange for the promotion of their website and products. This is how it works. You will need to sign-up for affiliate membership. Most vendor sites that offer affiliate programs do not charge you for this. This is only fair since you will be selling them to people. Be wary of vendor sites that charge fees for membership to their affiliate programs. Once you join-up, they will give you a reference number or an ID number that you will paste into your html scripts. Your vendor site will give you instructions on how to paste them. Normally, an affiliate will have to have a website where they can promote the vendor site. You will promote the vendor site by adding links to the site’s home page and some specific products which you think will sell more. You will need to design your website to accommodate these links as well as alter some of your websites graphics to make way for banners, or picture links. Don’t forget to add the ID or reference number to the link so that the vendor can identify your referral. Once you have the links in place, you will need to write some 250++ words about the product you are selling. I recommend allotting 1 web page per product as this will help you in search engine result rankings. The content you write will have to be relevant and filled with keywords that pertain to the product itself. Once everything is done, you need to find out if your website shows up in search engine queries when browsing for your product. If you think this is too much work, you can try writing newsletters about a product on a vendor site that contains links to the product. You then post the newsletter on the internet and hope that a search engine indexes it. Mind you, this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. Times are hard and we need all the financial assistance we can get. This is just one option where you can possibly earn a lot more than your current income. The problem with most affiliate is that they don’t last long because they fail to maintain and update their product links. Some of the products that you have linked to before may have already been discontinued. You need to check on your links at least once every 3 months or once a month at optimum. Finally, don’t be content with what you have. Look for additional products to sell. posted by braycool@gmail.com at 12:39 0 comments 18 Internet Network Marketing as Key to Earning Extra Income by: Daegan H. Smith It is true that internet network marketing, especially those which are closely linked to multi-level marketing, has not achieved a completely positive reputation in recent years. Some say they have earned while a good number also claim that it has caused them to lose a lot of money. The reason in all these is that, in internet network marketing, the type of people included in the network will mostly dictate the level of income that you will make. With this, a little research is indeed necessary at the very start. While internet network marketing is quite easy to do, it should not be done in an untargeted manner. There has to be clear direction and purpose in your activities and a reasonable plan linked to it. One has to have an idea who are to appreciate the benefits in the network and who are more likely going to work at the same pace as you do to continuously realize these benefits. In other words, the right members are the key to generating a significant extra income. There are certain techniques that must be done in order to be able to attract these people to your network. Here are some proven-to-be-effective methods: 1. Create interesting articles for ezines, short for electronic magazines. In this way, you catch the attention and interest of readers and build your credibility. Eventually, whatever you offer them will be difficult for them to refuse. Likewise, the principle here follows mutual giving. The readers gain something from you by reading your article. In return, they give back by at least exploring the business that you have to offer. 2. Find resources to be able to give freebies. Anything free is most definitely attractive to anyone. After a while, you will see that you have formed a relatively good network awaiting what you can offer them. 3. Develop your own website. Your website will be like your reception area at the World Wide Web. You present what you can offer people there. You build interest in your business and how people can take part in it. Make sure, however, that you have a link to a sign-up form. Of course, you do not want to spoil any budding interest by letting them wait for a long time to actually join your network. You have to take effort to be able to accommodate them as soon as a good sign of interest is there. 4. Provide as much useful information as possible. The only way to address any doubts is by responding to these doubts with reliable information. In this way, your potential network member does not try to obtain the information from someone else and end up getting misled. 5. Obtain commitment. Online network marketing does not prosper with complacent members. You have to make it clear at the very start that extra income does not come without hardwork. It must be clear enough to your network members that they have to exert some effort as well to realize the benefits. The bottomline in all these is that within your online network, there has to be trust. It should be enough reason for each to actually take action and work effectively. Remember, you may consider it as a virtual organization which relies so much on team work, just like in any other organization. posted by braycool@gmail.com at 12:39 0 comments 17 The 7 Lies Of Network Marketing by: Daegan H. Smith When you are looking for ways to make money, you will most certainly look for all possible avenues of an honest living and make sure that you get the most for an investment, if you have to make one. You may also have encountered network marketing, and because of the negative images surrounding it, you might have been discouraged to join. Your hesitance is understandable, but guess what ñ you might have heard the 7 lies of network marketing before, and you need to change a bit of your mindset in order to see how network marketing can help you. Network marketing can actually help you earn cash if you do it right, so take a look at this list before you dismiss it entirely. 1. Network marketing requires you to pay out with a lot of money. Not all network marketing schemes require you to make an investing ñ in fact, some of them will require a small fee in order for you to start purchasing things, which you can then sell. If you encounter a network marketing scheme that tells you to pay up front with an exorbitantly high amount, and you are made to expect a lot of returns that sound unreal, then the deal might be a scam. 2. All network marketing schemes are scams. Sure, there are some bad guys out there who want to get your money and run, but not all marketing schemes are out to ruin your life. There are actually extremely good people who want to help you succeed, so donít be afraid to try out a scheme ñ better yet, donít be afraid to ask the network marketing scheme officers questions, and do your own investigating to check how good a scheme is. 3. Network marketing will not earn you any money. Network marketing can actually pay out generously, and if you do it right. If you are able to get stable and reliable downlines, you can actually earn a lot of money! 4. You can earn millions through network marketing, and within the first few weeks of work. Now donít get your hopes up too high ñ network marketing requires some degree of work from you, so donít believe network marketing offers that tell you that you need only a few tasks done before you can start laughing all the way to the bank. 5. Network marketing is illegal. Itís not. 6. Network marketing requires you to have loads and loads of friends and to network constantly. Well, you do have to network constantly, but if you are able to pick out three or four friends who share your aspirations, and who are as sales-savvy as you, then you will fare better than people who have hundreds of friends but only a handful who are able to meet the sales-savvy levels of network marketing. 7. Network marketing products or services are of low quality. People actually buy such products and services, and money is made off them. You only need to pick the right program that has products and services that you believe in so that you can sell them better. These are only 7 lies of network marketing, and there may be more misunderstanding, thanks to negative images often propagated by mass media. To find out more, do your own investigating, and see how network marketing might be able to help you. Who knows? You might find a good program that has the right fit for you, and you can start networking, selling, and earning posted by braycool@gmail.com at 12:39 0 comments 16 Email Marketing Consulting: Boost your Online Business! by: Daegan H.

What if I could work from home and not have to dredge through the day to day grind of long hours, back-breaking work, and mediocre pay? Is there more to life than just punching a time clock every day? How can I attain the financial security to work at home and have the freedom to spend more of this time at home with my family? If you've ever asked yourself any, or all, of these questions, then there's no doubt that you've thought about starting a work at home online money making business of your own. Right? But be honest. What's stopping you? The fear of not making it? The risks that may be involved? The lack of experience with the Internet and website design? Maybe you just don't think you have the skills required to make it all come together and work? Well, let me tell you a little secret. Not so long ago, I was right where you are now. My head was filled with ambition and thoughts of an endless stream of cash waiting on my doorstep each month. But then my mind would start to fill up with the clouds of doubt. I'd tell myself: --"I can't possibly do it". --"I don't know how to build and design a website". --"I've never worked with computer programming before". --"Besides, even if I did manage to get a website, then no one would want to come to visit it". Any of this starting to sound familiar? I would search and search for that one perfect program that would take away all the fears, risks, and headaches involved in the process and I could just sit back and watch the money roll in. Then I had something amazing happen. No, I didn't strike it rich and become a millionaire overnight as some of the programs said I would. I had a reality check. All of the get rich quick envelope stuffing, claim processing, and survey taking scams were only a get rich quick trick for the companies that offered them. I soon realized that while there actually is good money to be made on the web, there really isn't any such thing as "free" money. There are definitely some amazing money making opportunities out in cyberspace, but most are going to require a little effort to make them really successful. I guess the old adage is right, "you reap what you sow". So, how do you apply this new found insight to picking a program that's right for you? First of all, those 5 minute success stories are just that... stories. In all likelihood, and without some miraculous stroke of luck, the only way you are going to go from everyday Joe (or Jane) to millionaire in five minutes is if you win some lottery. Although, in most cases, your odds of making money with the lottery are probably better than your chances of making money with some of the shadier get rich quick online schemes. Also, all of those sites that promise to set everything up for you and all you have to do is sit back and watch the money fall at your feet? You might want to find a comfortable place to sit, because if you do nothing and expect them to do it all for you, then you will probably be sitting there for quite a while. So, while you're sitting there, why don't you take some time to read all the way through this site. I know it may seem like it goes on forever, but I am going to tell you what you really need to know to succeed in the work at home business. And first things first, nearly every worthwhile work at home program is going to require at least a little time and effort, at least to start with. Some will require more than others, but expect to spend at least some time with the initial start up. The key to how much will be required really depends on several factors, but the main ones are: 1. How much time you have to devote to developing your new online business. 2. What kind of skills you are bringing in with you in regards to things like website design, html coding, and the other technical aspects of the business. 3. How much support you get from the program publisher. 4. How willing you are to learn and follow instructions from those who have been successful in the business. 5. How much money you are willing to invest in the business. Let's focus on these key factors for a moment: Number one: Time The first, and possibly one of the most important, is how much time can you "realistically" spend working on your business? Let me be perfectly honest here for a moment. If you are not willing or able to put the time in to developing and setting up your business correctly, then you are most likely not going to see much of a return from your program. While most of the higher end programs are very well established for you in advance, there are still going to be some actions that you will have to take to see that you are achieving the goals you are trying to reach. Once again, "you reap what you sow". For starters, most of the programs that include "free" websites with your purchase are going to need some work to truly be useful and "search engine friendly". Most of these sites have the required elements to be a useful website, but they lack a lot of the "personal" elements that make them stand out from the crowd. In a sense, they are "cookie" cutter websites in that they all pretty much look alike. This is a problem in and of itself, in that the search engines, and Google in particular, does not like this type of website. In fact, if Google finds that your new bargain website matches a hundred other websites, then they will more than likely not even index it in their searches. This is something that most of the "gurus" on the web won't tell you. Now this isn't to say that you should stay away from programs that provide a free website with your program. Not at all. If nothing else, you at least have a starting point to build from, without all of the expense and time of cr! eating your own website from the ground up. Think of it this way, they built the house. All you have to do is decorate it. Do yourself a favor. If you don't take anything else from this paragraph, read the next sentence VERY CAREFULLY! The single most important part of your website is NOT the ads or the product you are selling. It is the CONTENT that makes up the bulk of your page. I can't stress enough how important this is. It may not sound that important at first, but once you get an idea of how the search engines actually work, then you will see how important this really is. Basically, if you do not have unique, interesting, and informative content on your website, then you can pretty much forget about ever being anywhere near the top of the search engine results. In fact, without good quality content on your page, most search engines will not even index your pages. Remember the reference to Google earlier? They are a prime example of this. Google bases a lot of its search indexing on the quality and quantity of the content on your site. If Google doesn't feel you have enough content, or good, quality content that would benefit their searchers, then they will simply pass you up, or at the least index you so far down in the search results that you might as well not even exist. And most of the other search engines are picking up on this and looking more closely at their own website submissions. So, make sure that you add good quality content that would actually make the web surfer who has just found your site actually want to spend time on your site. Don't just give them a basically empty page with a bunch of links to programs and gadgets for them to buy. Give them the information that they came to your site to find in the first place. And it really isn't that difficult to do once you understand a few basic principles about website design. But that's a topic for our next key factor, so let's just sum this part up by saying this: Just be prepared to put in a little time to fine tune your program, whether it is embellishing your website by adding features, adding text and content, or whatever. This is one of the most important things you can do if you expect to have a productive site that attracts the search engines, and eventually, your customers. Number Two: Skills Now, as for the skills that you bring to the table? Rest assured that you do not have to be a computer programmer to make money on the Internet. This is merely going to slow the process down a little as you move through the learning curve. While not all programs will require you to have a website, in my honest opinion, you are passing up on multiple streams of income without one. Most programs will not expect you to already be an Internet guru with your own arsenal of websites at your disposal, but if you do have one, then you are ahead of the game. Nearly all good programs will be designed with the beginner in mind and some even provide you with your own starter website, as was mentioned in the previous section. If you do not already have a website of your own or the necessary tools to edit and update a site, there are many helpful and useful websites out there that can guide you through every step of the way. I highly recommend downloading one of the free HTML and programming editors. They work right on your computer and you can re-work or change your existing websites, or event create your own from scratch. The best part, other than being free, is that you really do not need any prior programming experience to use most of these programs. They are very easy to understand and user friendly for the beginner as well as the expert. I personally use the NVU HTML-editor myself and it works great. In fact, most of my site listed in the resource box below was designed and modified using that very program. And if you do reach a place where you are stuck and don't know what to do, then the very tool you're using now is a gold mine of information and help for you to use. There is a wealth of knowledge on the web just waiting for you to tap into it. There is everything from free information such as forums, blogs, and articles to complete premium services that will walk you through the process or even do it for you. Not sure if you need a premium service? There are many free website tools available to help you along as well. These can include checking your site for errors, ranking, dead links, and all kinds of other problems. If that doesn't fulfill your curiosity, then there are some more free products and services on my site listed in the resource box below that you might want to try. The point to remember here is this: Don't be afraid of what you don't already know. Look for the answer if you don't know what it is. Everyone has to start somewhere and most people's fears of technical issues are nothing that can't be overcome with a little research and knowledge. Number Three: Support Which brings us to the next factor. What kind of support is your program publisher going to provide? This is very important in speeding up your learning curve and has a big impact on how quickly you can expect to see results. As was stated in the previous paragraph, most publishers have the beginner in mind, at least to some extent, when they design a new money making opportunity. After all, the majority of their customers are going to be people that are new to making money on the Internet. If you already knew how to do it, you wouldn't need their product in the first place, would you? So, expect the program you join to provide you with most of the tools you need to get a reasonably good start on your business. The more materials and support they offer, the better off you'll be no matter what your level of skill is. These are the building blocks that will be the foundation of your business, so don't overlook this when deciding on a program. Take in to consideration your own skills when deciding what type of program you want to try. If you already have your own site and are just looking for something to add to that, then you may not need a program with a free website and all the extra bells and whistles included. On the other hand, if you think HTML is something that you get off the dollar menu at McDonalds, then you may want to find a program that is designed for someone just starting out. It's all about what you think your capabilities are and what you're willing to do on your own. There's no shortage of variety in the styles of programs out there. You will find everything from turn key online stores, to affiliate programs where you advertise other peoples products for them, to direct marketing of your own products. The possibilities are truly endless here. Just as a little side note here. If you are new to working online, then you owe it to yourself to check out the wide variety of affiliate programs that are out there. As a beginner, I would highly recommend this type of program to start you out. What could be simpler? You simply advertise other people's products on your website, or by any other means that you choose, and if you direct someone to their products and they buy something, then you receive a commission from the sale. They take care of all the business details such as shipping, receiving, accounting, returns, overhead, etc. All you have to do is keep promoting their products from the comfort of your own home. Keep in mind here though, that you will have to PROMOTE these products. Just having a website set up and on the web is not going to direct any sales your way without some advertising to bring them in. But we will discuss advertising a little later. If you haven't already picked up on this by searching the work at home websites, you will also find that a lot of programs are basically just an e-book that you download to get you started. However, you don't have to necessarily be intimidated by these programs. While they essentially may only be providing you with information, there are some that can absolutely blow you away with the wealth of knowledge and insight that they provide. Information, in and of itself, is one of your most valuable tools when establishing an online business. Read all the mistakes and pitfalls that are discussed all over the web. Learn from their mistakes and build from their successes. That's the beauty of a work at home business. You can take as much time as you want to spend learning and studying all of the various techniques and ideas that are scattered around the web. Decide which one is right for you, and then commit to it. Best of all, if you take it seriously and take the information that is available to you and apply it, then you may very well make your dreams of unlimited online wealth a reality. It all comes down to how much you are willing to learn about the things you don't already know and then applying that knowledge effectively. Number Four: Learn and Follow Instructions And that leads us right into the next factor which is, how willing you are to learn and follow the instructions provided by the program. If you are seriously wanting to make money with your own home based business, then the easiest and quickest way is by following the direction of someone who has done it. Well over 90% of work at home businesses that fail are due to people not following through with the process that was laid out for them in their program. It really is that simple. It's just as if someone gave you turn by turn directions to a destination that you had never been to before. Sure, if you just took your own path, you might eventually get there on your own. But, wouldn't it be a lot easier and less time consuming to follow the directions from someone who already knew the best way to get there instead? If you do a little research, you'll find that most worthwhile programs are laid out in a step by step approach that will guide you through the process in the correct way. Granted, this may not always seem to be the easiest or fastest thing to you, but that is why you purchase a program in the first place. To get the direction and guidance to do something that you didn't already know how to do. Take my word for it, the road to online wealth is not going to be an overnight trip. To make the truly life changing amounts of income that most of us desire for, isn't going to be all that fast at first. There is usually a considerable amount of "setup" time that you just have to take into account when you decide to take on a business such as this. First of all, you have to realize that if you are starting out with a completely new website that no one has ever seen, then you can't expect it to just magically pop up on the first search engine that looks for your particular type of site. There is a lot of preparation involved in getting a website out there for the world to see and this is usually what separates the "haves" from the "have nots" when it comes to a successful work at home business. Once again, that is why you do your research and find a good quality program that has already streamlined this process for you. There are so many things that can trip you up and slow you down when you're just starting out. And it is very easy to get frustrated and want to give up when you don't see the results you are hoping for in a short amount of time. But don't give up. It is the persistence and constant vigilance that makes these programs work. If they were all that easy, then the paybacks would reflect the effort required and they wouldn't be worth the time in the first place. The reason most of these programs have such tremendous money making potential is because of the fact that there is a certain amount of dedication required to "get it right" and that's what makes all the difference. The only sure way to make that happen is to follow the steps that are laid out before you and you should be on your way to the success you desire. Number Five: Money Now for what is probably the hardest factor for most people. How much money are you willing to invest in your online business venture? Don't panic just yet! While this is one of the most important of all the factors in regards to how fast you can see results from your efforts, having a limited budget is not going to keep you from being able to make money with a work at home business. There have been literally hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have make very good incomes on the Internet with little more than a lot of desire and the time to work at making it happen. Aside from a few initial start up costs, such as the cost of your program, registering your domain name, and in some cases, the cost of hosting your website, most work at home businesses can be started with little upfront expense. It really all comes down to what kind of time frame you are looking for in regards to a return on your investment. While it is true that without a hefty amount of advertising revenue to get the word out about your site, you can expect to see somewhat slower results, but with wise use of free tools, online information, and a little trial and error, you can still make money with a work at home business. On the other hand, if you indeed do have a little start up capital to invest in your new business, then you can definitely speed up this process dramatically. You see, here's the deal on websites. It doesn't matter how perfectly designed your website is. It doesn't matter how many top selling products you put on your site. It doesn't even matter how much unique, interesting, and informative content you put on your website. So what matters then? VISIBILITY of your website is all that matters. If no one ever sees your site, then nothing else will make up for that. That's it. Game over. You have to get your site out there in the spotlight if you ever expect to have anyone visit your site, let alone buy something from it. That's where the amount of money you intend to invest will make the most difference. If you've got the extra funds to pay for some high profile advertising, then you can dramatically shorten the length of time it takes to get your site noticed and getting a steady flow of traffic through it. You can use all kinds of different media to promote your site, but if you have to limit yourself to just a few, then you want focus all of your efforts on just three key players in the Internet world. These are the three main search engines. They are Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Above all though, you want to get your site noticed by Google. They have been the highest ranking search engine for quite some time, and that doesn't really appear to be going to change any time soon. What is one of the fastest ways to get your site on Google you ask? Most agree that the answer to that question would be to use Google's pay per click program called "Google Adwords". Check out Google's website or use the link in my site listed in the resource box for more info on the Google AdWords program. Basically, you bid on the key words that you want to advertise your site with and if you are the highest bidder for those particular key words, then you get the top ads on Google's main search results pages. You can set a daily spending cap so that you stay within the budget you set, but you have to realize that the lower your daily cap and the higher the price-per-click on your key words, the less times you are going to have your ad shown per day before you reach the spending cap and you're done for that day. But don't get me wrong, this program has made countless websites money and it could be just what you're looking for to promote your new site. You just need to realize going into it that while this can be a very quick way to get the word out about your site, it will probably end up costing you a pretty penny as well. And if your particular niche, or area of interest for your site, is one of the more popular ones with a lot of competition from the larger sites that can devote thousands of dollars a day to advertising, then you can almost guarantee to pay top dollar for those most sought after key words for your site. Now once again, don't panic. This is just one of the many, many forms of online advertising that you can employ to get the buzz out about your new up and coming financial whirlwind of a website. You can submit your site for free to nearly all of the major search engines out there. I say some, because there are a few that strictly index their lists from what they find on the web themselves. In that case you will need to make sure you get a lot of quality inbound links to your site from as many well known sites as you can get to link up with you. Once again, this is where the time factor comes in. It takes time to contact each Webmaster of a site you want to link with. And then there's the time waiting for a reply. And so on. And so on. If you do a little research, you will find that there are several sites out there that will link your site to others for you, which can save you a lot of time. But, just a word of warning here. If you use these type of sites, then make sure of two things. --Number one, make sure you are getting a "reciprocal link" to the other sites you are hooking up with. A reciprocal link means that your site links to theirs and their site links to yours. You don't want to have all one way links either into or out of your site. The search engines, and here again, Google is really picky on this one, they have a thing called PR which stands for page rank. This is determined by the number of sites that are willing to link to your site. This shows a sign of trust in your site that the search engines like to see. --Now the second thing about these link exchanges is this: Stay away from what is called "link farms". These are sites that you can basically pay to be linked with every site they can get their hands on based on the theory that the more links you have, good or bad, the better your search ranking will be with the search engines. This is a very big mistake in the eyes of the search engines and in extreme cases, you can actually get your site ranking lowered because of this, if not getting totally banned from the search engine all together. The big three, and most of the smaller search engines as well, see this as tampering with the system, which it really is, and they do not take it lightly. So, do yourself a favor and stay away from the link farms. Just go out there and do your own foot work. Talk to the other webmasters and show them why an exchange of links with your site would be beneficial to you both. This way you can make some honest links with some of the other sites out there and you should have no problems with the search engines. Not to mention that every link you can get from another website is another potential stream of traffic that you just got for nothing more than a little constructive conversation with the other webmasters. You can also check out some of the free traffic generating websites out there such as TrafficSwarm, HitSafari, and Webbizinsider. They may not generate the levels of traffic that they claim to be able to at first, but traffic is traffic, and every person that sees your new website is one more potential customer. What it all boils down to is this: Your initial start up capital for your new work at home business is really only going to affect you in two ways, only one of which is fatal to your business. --First off is that the amount you have to invest in the marketing and advertising of your site will determine how quickly you achieve your goals, not if you achieve them. More advertising money spells faster results, but less spending money just means slower results, not necessarily no results at all. --So that just leaves the one potentially fatal affect that your amount of investment can have on your business. You have to be able to budget your cash flow to match your results. Some call this your "rate of return". For instance, if you have a start up budget of $500 (and this is just an example), and you are spending $250 a week on AdWords ads and various other methods of advertising, but your site is only bringing in $100-$150 a week in income, then it doesn't take a rocket scientist or a math scholar to figure out that you aren't going to be in business very long before your budget runs dry. The trick is to find something that works for you AND fits your budget. The silver lining here would have to be that if all else fails, you've always got time. Most major search engines will usually get around to indexing your site after a little while, so don't think that without expensive advertising your site will never be known. It all comes down to time. The current lag on most search engines is around 6-8 weeks to index a site. Some may even take longer. The key is to not give up. You are in this for the long haul right? Remember that persistence and vigilance that keeps the work at home system alive? Plain and simply put, this type of work can indeed make you more wealth than you ever thought was possible, but it will require a commitment from you to see it through the initial ups and downs. The upside to all of this? Most of the higher end programs that you will find have something very great in common with each other. Nearly every one one them, once they are established, require very little effort to sustain them. In fact, most of them will continue to build upon themselves and keep gaining and earning with little to no effort from you. The key is seeing them through the beginning stages to make sure they are firmly established. If you have the desire, the patience, and the drive to put in a little time and effort to better your current financial situation, the you very possibly could one day turn that dream into a reality. You too, can have your own online work at home business. Conclusion: I hope this gives you a little better understanding of what it takes to really make a successful work at home business that will provide you with years of steady, ever growing, reliable income for you to enjoy. The keys to success are not that difficult, as you can see, so now all you have to do is find a program that's right for you. And now that you have a little deeper insight into what the pros and cons are of your new online business venture, I have searched the web and found a few of the really exceptional programs that I think you may be interested in looking into. These are some of the best money making opportunities for your new work at home career. If you are interested, please feel free to check them out on my website listed in the resource box and see what you think. I want to wish you all the success in whatever business you choose and remember...we all have to start somewhere!!

How To Build An Internet Marketing List Of Over 100,000
by: Willie Crawford





In anticipation of an upcoming launch of Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula 2, I told my list that I was going to offer a solo mailing to one of my lists of over 120,000. This immediately started a flood of emails asking how they could order early... something that I anticipated.

The second flood of emails asked how I had managed to build such a huge database. Rather than answering that second question in individual emails, I decided to answer it with this article.

First of all, I should point out that I've been in business online since late-1996, and have been slowly building my lists almost since the very beginning. So, I didn't accomplish this overnight. Still, I know that you can build a huge list rather quickly if you use the right techniques.

Here are some of my favorite list-building techniques:

1) Put a sign-up form on every page of your websites, except for direct sales pages where it would interrupt the flow too much. Next to that sign-up form, give a powerful reason why they need to join your list, and ask them to take action.

Next to the sign-up form, assure them that you will protect them from spam. Also post a few testimonials as proof of the value your newsletter provides.

2) Write information-packed articles and distribute them everywhere appropriate. I've written over 850 information-packed article on the topic of Internet marketing. Those articles demonstrate my expertise, share useful information, and bring visitors to my websites ready to join my lists.

I believe in sharing a lot of cutting edge information in my articles. Many people only drop hints, but I'm not afraid of sharing too much. The reason is that knowledge grows exponentially, and since I'm constantly learning new things, I can never teach you everything that I know.

Since I don't fear running out of useful information that you will value, my articles are genuinely helpful, and that generates lots of loyal subscribers.

3) Write information-packed, inexpensive ebooks and then allow affiliates to sell them for most of the profit.

I create a steady stream of ebooks - largely expansions of my articles - and then I set up affiliate programs where affiliates earn as much as 100% commission. Money is a great motivator for getting others to send you lots of new "paying" customers and subscribers

My favorite tool for setting up these "ebook traffic magnets" is Sid Hale's Rapid Action Profits script. This script allows you to set up a system where an affiliate earns INSTANT commissions which are paid directly to their Paypal accounts.

High commissions are a great motivator for people to send you new potential subscribers. When those commissions are paid instantly to affiliates who often have cash-flow problems, it's like pouring gasoline on a fire.

You'll find Sid's Rapid Action Profits System at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/RapidActionProfits/

4) Run pay-per-click campaigns... when the math makes sense. This is something that I don't see a lot of my competitors doing. However, when I know that my conversions rates or backend profits are sufficient, I often run pay-per-click ads... sometimes even for free items.

With pay-per-clicks, you need to closely monitor your results. You also need a good idea of the lifetime value of a new customer or subscriber. To me, it makes perfect sense to lose a dollar to gain a new highly qualified subscriber.

If you're paying attention, you'll notice numerous Internet marketers who run promotions where they pay a dollar or more for referrals who simply opt-in to a list. I essentially do the same thing when using pay-per-clicks. With pay-per-clicks you reach new subscribers who may not already be on a dozen other marketers' lists.

5) Use free giveaways where appropriate. I contribute to, and help to promote free giveaways, when they are well managed and the quality is high. I've built large lists doing this and have a friend who got over 5000 subscribers from one of his first giveaways. I've written about how I do that many times before.

The key with free giveaways is that you need to offer a gift of high enough value that your new subscribers instantly bond with you. You still have to develop the relationship, but your gift should start it on a positive note.

Many people who participate in free giveaways offer "absolute garbage." Once their new subscriber downloads their free "gift" and look through it, they HAVE to feel insulted.

My rule is to always offer a gift that's good enough to sell. I was humored when, in one recent giveaway, I contributed resale rights to one of my new ebooks, along with a rough website. Before the giveaway was even over, at least one fast-acting individual had my ebook set up using the Rapid Action Profits script mentioned in number three, above.

6) Give away free viral ebooks. Write ebooks on topics that you know a lot of people are interested in. In those ebooks recommend specific solutions to problems, and include affiliate links to buy those products. Make some of those links rebrandable.

If the ebooks are filled with lots of useful information, AND they have links that can be rebranded, then you have an ebook that should go viral. People are incentivized to spread it!

In these ebooks, offer some type of a free bonus... perhaps an audio recording, or a template, or free piece of software, but require readers to visit your website to get this bonus. On your site, require them to register, or join your mailing list, to get the freebie.

If the original ebook delivered tremendous value, then the new potential subscriber will have no objection to joining your list. If the free ebook offered marginal value, then they have to assume that your other "gift" will be more of the same, and so they won't subscribe.

For creating viral ebooks, I recommend using the "Viral Document Toolkit" a next-generation PDF brander created by David Schwartz. The Viral Document Toolkit allows you to easily create rebrandable documents where you can specify links, and text that can be rebranded. You can even specify rather large BLOCKS of text as rebrandable... and even rebrand hyperlinked images! You create a rebrandable ebook, and then pass along the ebook (with most parts locked, but some parts changeable) along with the rebrander tool, to your subscribers, website visitors, customers, etc. Since they can profit from changing the ebook, they happily spread it, and in the process build you a huge list.

You'll find the Viral Document Toolkit at: http://ViralDocumentToolkit.com

David finished testing the Viral Document Toolkit software March 1st, 2008, so you'll be using a tool that 99.9% of your competitors will have never seen. VDT is actually so revolutionary that NO ONE other than a few of David's closest friends have even been allowed to touch it, until now.

If you make your new viral ebooks good enough, you may be pleasantly surprised to see your competitors promoting them ;-)

6) Take massive action and do it immediately. One of my secrets to building my database so large is that when I'm shown a new tool or technique, and it passes "the common sense test," then I put it to immediate use... provided it doesn't distract me from something more urgent that I'm already working on.

Many of my contemporaries, and subscribers, complained about having no list as long as five years ago. Many of them still use that same excuse for why they've not made any real business growth progress.

I'm not sure why this is since all of the techniques that I, and that many of my mentors use, are so simple... and even obvious!

The key is not to over-analyze things. That traps you into "paralysis by analysis." Instead, get into the habit of doing while others are still "thinking about it."

My friend, Dr. Joe Vitale, taught me that "money loves speed!"

I've just shared with you some of the techniques that I've used to build a massive subscriber database. Of course, I can't cover every technique that I use in this short article. I will close by sharing that part of the key to growing your list is actually retaining the subscribers after you get them. To do that, you merely need to deliver tremendous content telling them how to solve their most pressing problems.

Simple - right?

Tips to Get a Google Adsense Account
by: Henri Suryanto





To whom it may not familiar with Adsense, It is a Google’s marketing program which allows website/blog owners to generate income from displaying relevant Google ads on their websites. AdSense matches the content of the website to ads within their AdWords program and displays the relevant ads on the website. The website owners will get income from their website visitors clicking the ads. And there are some success stories from people who profiting and earning thousand dollars from Google Adsense

So how you can get those kinds of ads displayed in your website? Basically you have to register you website/blog and get Google’s approval. But unfortunately not every request will get approved. I have a tip for you based on my experience obtaining approval from Google in my first try, here are the steps:

1. Set up your blog with www.blogspot.com. Blogspot is a Google own blogging service. Make a certain theme for your blog and make sure that the theme is a marketable theme.

2. Put several relevant contents to your blog. Google loves contents! If you choose “health” as your theme, then you can write anything about health. But let me remind you, you have to write them in English. If you think you can’t write and not really confident with your English, don’t worry about that. You can find relevant contents in free articles directory such GoArticles.com and Ezinearticles.com but don’t delete the author names and their links (usually available at the bottom of the articles). Don’t take credit on their works.

3. If you have put some relevant contents, wait about two or three days. When you edit the layout or format of your blog, it will appear an offer from Google to apply for Google Adsense account. If the offer does not appear, just visit www.google.com/adsense and register there.

Believe me, your Adsense account approval will send to your email address in several days and start make money with Google Adsense.

Internet Marketing Strategy – Online Internet Business
by: Anderson Josiah





Three Things NEVER To Do with your Online Business.

In business there are certain things you must not do if you want to be successful in your online home based business. But if you already run a successful business you would already know this. If you are new to business ownership the following tips can be very helpful. First of all never ever skimp on promotion advertising and marketing. Without adequate marketing your business can end up making a huge loss in product or services sales.

A perfect example is a small business that sells audio CD's for children that is introducing a new item on the market. This business is unknown and relatively new. They have a great website which they advertise in a couple of the local newspapers, Only a small handful of people will be aware of this new company and its audio CD product. A much better way of marketing and advertising would have been to advertise in larger nationwide newspapers or putting there website address on a Billboard that can be seen by allot of people in heavy traffic areas. This might be a little more expensive but you will get more bang for your buck, you will reach a greater audience base.

Secondly never underestimate your competition; use the internet to do some investigating and always keep your guard up. If you are in a very competitive market you should consider this. If for example you own a Music Site you would want to know if any sites have any special offers. Do they have a greater selection? What are there rates like, are there prices cheaper or more expensive? Do the have discounted packages like buy 5 get one free? You need to pay close attention to both the bigger and smaller Music Sites both in your area and nationwide. You want to be competitive with there prices so if you can't go cheaper try to at least match there prices. Customers love to get cheaper prices even if it only saves them a couple of cents.

Lastly you should never go into business without properly researching it. You want to ensure you know as much as you can about the home business you are planning to get involved with. You want financial details and as much information on your potential competition, the internet can help you get this information. When you devote time to do research you improve your chances for success, it is almost guaranteed, you would not want any surprises coming up later down after you have invested your time and money. You want your business to run as easy as possible

If you follow the internet marketing strategy above your online internet business would be on the right track. This will help you create a good business foundation. Remember do not enter into any business venture without proper planning and research. Treat your company like you would treat your children. Nurture it, give it allot of loving care and all the things that it will need to grow and you will be happy with the results If you would like to know more on this topic check out the link below for “Dotcomology” the art of making money with your home business.

Internet Marketing Strategy For Your Home Business - Know Your Competition
by: Anderson Josiah





One of the biggest challenges any new business owner will face is dealing with the threat of new competitors who want to get a piece of your market. This is something that you cannot get away from when in business so forming a powerful strategy even before you start up is very important in order for your business to be successful in the long term.

Additionally it is not only very important to know and understand your direct competition but you also need to now about indirect competitors in your market. Using the internet to spy on your competition is a very powerful marketing strategy.

Nearly all the goods that are available on the market have substitutes and compliments.

An example is if someone wanted to purchase some powered detergent if she or he could not find any in the supermarket they can then probably decide to buy liquid detergent instead.

This is also true for any type of industry because customers will always be able to find substitutes for services and products that they can't find. We also need to consider having a very effective distribution system that will allow you to reach targeted customers where they are located; this will greatly increase your money earning potential.

It is also a very good idea to always check out the features of your competitor's products, the quality and price range that they offer.

Being aware of the weaknesses and strength of you competition and comparing it with your own will give you the opportunity to put in place strategies that will allow you to effectively compete in your marketplace. You would want to concentrate on your good points and try to take advantage of your competitor's weak points. Remember your competition would be doing the same to you, they would try to point out your weak points to your customers to try to improve there market share.

In addition to your present competition, you should also consider future competition because it is very possible that new competitors will try to enter your market in a couple of years. You can visit blogs, forums and chatrooms that are related to your particular market to keep up with new trends, technologies and potential threats to your business. Having a very strong strategy and a loyal customer base will enable your online home business to survive all these potential challenges. Most new businesses put there emphasis on a low price range and this could either be a good or a bad for your business.

An example of this is that it can be great if the product that new competition is offering has a lower price but if it is of a poor quality this will establish your product as a superior good or product.

But, if they are offering better good and services at a much lower price, then you might need to get involved in a price war. Never forget that your strategy should always depend on the particular situation and perception of your market.

Similarly, when the work day is finished and you leave your office you should have the feeling of reaching home. You would want to keep friends and family distractions away from the office just as you should also keep work distractions away from the rest of the home.

Having a professional approach in all business activates when in your online home office would defiantly help your image as an online home business owner. If you can't afford to have a separate phone line for the business, try to answer the telephone in a business like manner during working hours.

Building a well organized and informative website is very important if you want your customers to navigate easily and get all the necessary information on your products, it should serve as a sales pamphlet that includes information about your experiences, your business and your products.

One constantly asked question in Affiliate marketing is “Where to find the absolute best affiliate products to sell?”

When selecting a product there are some things you should look for, the price of the product as well as the percentage on commissions, this is very important because everybody is looking for a great return on there time and investment. Some sites make it harder to earn a good profit because the price they charge for there product is very cheap for e.g. sites like Amazon sell there product so cheap that the percentage pay out on that site would be very low, Compare $16.95 hard-cover books to a 49.99 e-book – if you got 50% commission on both which would you choose to promote?

A good program to start is an Affiliate Clickbank Program by selling products from Click bank.

As an affiliate marketer you might want to try different affiliate systems to see which one works best for you.

Other good sites to consider are Commission Junction, LinkShare, PayDotCome, Success University and PIPS all these are just as good as Click bank.

Online Business System Scam – Learning How To Make Save Investments
by: Anderson Josiah





If you already own an internet home business there is a great possibility that you are so busy in the day to day running of your business that you fail to consider that there are other ways that you can profit from your money. There are some situations where you can make more money from investments than from your actual internet home business. This is possible because allot of normal expenses you incur in your every day business is not applicable when investing, like salaries, overhead expenses, and normal every day to day expenses. You are making your money work for you when investing rather that you working for money.

So how can someone go about becoming an investor? Well investment requires exposure to the market that you want to invest in, this ensures that you know exactly where and how to invest your money. There is a whole list of potential investments to choose from. Even simple ones like your saving bank account and fixed deposits can be a good investment because you can earn a pre-determined rate of interest on your money

Outside of this there are other types of investment that you can consider that would allow you to get a high rate of interest on your investment. Opportunities include mutual funds, the stock exchange and the foreign currency market. Although these are great investments you need to pay very close attention to the movements of these markets so you know when you to buy and sell in order to maximize profits.

You should always remember that in business and investments there will always be a certain amount of risk, different types of investment have different degrees of risk so you need to know how to determine the amount of risk that is involved in any type of investment, for example if you’ve made the decision to purchase stock from a well known company at a high price there is a big possibility that it will not cost the same the following day due to allot of different factors; management or other issues that can arise. Investing in mutual funds also carries risk because the interest rate can be lower than what you predicted it would be.

Overall, investment is a fantastic way to earn profits while still being in control of your money and time. Investment can also provide you with a sense of security because you are happy that your money is in the hands of experienced companies like banks and mutual fund companies. Additionally you should always consider that having a diverse investment portfolio is important in today’s dynamic and consistently changing global market. Diversification means that you invest your money in different types of investment so your risks will be balanced in different industries. Investments give you the flexibility to choose which ones suit you best.

Internet Marketing Advice Guide - Learning How To Follow A Budget
by: Anderson Josiah





At first Learning how to follow a financial budget can be really very difficult. This could be a very big concern if you are use to freely spending money. The first step naturally is the setting up of your financial budget and also guidelines to help you stay within your set budget. You must be sure that every expense is accounted for. Remember to include entertainment money. Once your budget is well put together you are now ready to set up guidelines to help you keep on track with your financial budget.

One of the best strategies to keep you on target is to stop carrying cash. For most of us when shopping you see signs offering all sorts of internet marketing software $9.99, Are you strong enough to resist? It's just one ten dollars, but those dollars really add up quickly and before you realize it you have spent an easy three hundred dollars. By not carrying money you can help stop yourself from impulse buying. If you must carry cash, the best thing you can do is to only take what cash is absolutely necessary to spend. You need to give yourself an average of what your expenses will cost you, so you can only take that amount of cash with you. This will assist you in curbing your desire to buy excess goods and avoid you from getting knocked off track.

You should always go shopping with a list; this should help prevent you from unnecessary spending. Or create a list of supplies and commit to those items only. If you permit yourself to wander around a store you are leaving room for temptation and could end up buying things you don’t need. It can be very difficult to stay on a financial budget when you are surrounded by items you desire.

If you plan on running a home business you should try to become a thrifty shopper. It could not hurt to look for and negotiate discounts. A few saved dollars per purchase here and there can really add up to a huge saving in the end. Searching in clearance sections in the stores is a fantastic way to find items that you may need plus save some money at the same time. You might be really surprised to see just how much items you can take home, and still have cash in your pocket.

Keeping yourself on a financial budget is about having self-control. It's resisting the overwhelming urge to purchase only what is needed. If you have a hard time in curbing your shopping habits, keep a companion, friend or family member with you when you go shopping. Make sure it is someone you trust to keep you away from all these sales and can help you avoid temptation. As long as you decrease the temptation for impulsive buying, make a shopping list and keep to only necessary items, this will defiantly prevent you from loosing track of your budget needs.

Home Based Internet Marketing Business - Staying Organized In Your Home Office
by: Anderson Josiah





When working from home there is nothing more frustrating than not being able to find things when you need them. While most home business entrepreneurs see themselves as never having any time, you have to spend some of your time to organize things. If you can't daily, you should at least try for once a week, you should set aside some time to put things where it should be. Allot of people have a saying that there is a spot for everything and everything must be in its assigned place.

Many individuals have to make the time to do jobs over, but never have the patience and time to do it correctly the first time. For example if they cannot locate a file they will make a new one, which would take a whole lot more time than the six seconds it may take to put it in the correct place to start with. Just being able to locate the staples when your need to refill the stapler can save a few precious minutes you that would have spent going through all the desk drawers or storage bins, or even worse you might end up going to the stationary store to purchase more, this could have been avoided if you simply knew where you stored the staples in the first place.

The amount of stationary supplies you store at home will all depend on the kind of business you're in as well as your financial budget. Try not to let your desk turn into a storage area for all of your stationary supplies. You can probably use an old bookcase or dresser to keep all you stationary supplies, while only keeping a small amount on your desk drawers or desk top. When you store supplies in the designated storage area, try to ensure that they are properly tagged and can be easily identified.

To keep the office running smoothly, try considering your desk as main point in the office. All the equipment that you frequently use should be within arms reach of your work station. If it is that you have to leave your desk to answer the telephone or to collect a fax, you are defiantly wasting precious minutes doing this. Documents that you are presently working on should be within easy reach, either in a filing cabinet close to your work station or in filing holder on your desk.

The best thing you can do is get all the files you plan to deal with on any particular work day and have them ready for work on at any given time during the course of the day. Files that you are not using should be filed away so that they can be found when you need them. While it can seem easier, try not to have your coffee pot near your desk, this is a very bad idea. One of the biggest reasons to avoid too much coffee is the damage caused by spills made by coffee at your work station. Everybody needs to take an occasional break from work, and having your coffee pot in another room can allow you an opportunity to stretch your legs.

Internet Marketing Strategy For Online Internet Business - Budgeting Your Money
by: Anderson Josiah





One of the more difficult things to do when you're starting a new home business is planning and putting together a financial budget. Without any past data on which to base expenses and income it might seem like your guessing, but as part of any companys’ business plan an estimated budget can be done with some thought of future operations.

In almost all companies there are really two categories, expense and income. Under your expenses category there could be several smaller sub-categories most often falling within two areas uncontrollable and controllable expenses. While most small business owners claim that they have control over all expenses involved in their campaign, they are just burying there heads in the sand as some costs such as rent, utility cost, and other fixed costs can change, without any control by the owner.

Some other expenses like insurance, payroll, advertising and promotion can be subjected to a budget and are considered to be a controllable expense. If the company begins to slip off, you can try to control a few of these expenses by sending home staff and cutting spending on promotion and advertising.

Depending on the sustainability of your company if the business is going through a bad spell it often is a good investment to take the bull by the horn and pay employee salaries, continue to provide a good service to the balance of the remaining loyal customers until business is back on its feet. It might be hard to pay staff but by trying to do all the work yourself not only will you quickly burn out , and if no one is handling the customers it wont be long before there are no clients left to take care of.

There are normally a couple of ways you can budget your companies money and that is through percentage of income and set dollar amount. Many companies will try to budget their controllable expense by dollars and non-controllable by percentage of income. It goes without saying that a great part of the owners’ time will be spent towards bring money and new customers to the company and how much they have budgeted on controllable expense will directly related to income.

An example is, a business earning $200,000 per month in income who has budgeted of six percent for wages, providing $12000 for salaries. If the salaries level increases to $500,000 the budgeted salary percent does not change but the money available for wages climbs to $30,000 with the aim to increase sales and business profits, the business owner might probably need the extra assistance to help take care of company.

There are other types’ expenses like Social taxes paid by employers can also end up into the payroll account also workers’ compensation charges and paid leave time or other bonuses that might be given by the company. Although budgets could be very difficult to calculate for new companies, it is necessary for all small business entrepreneurs.

Two Questions to Ask Yourself Before Selling a Product Online
by: Jason Pearson





Everyone at sometime in their life has been sitting on the couch and thought , ‘I have a great Idea, I should sell it , I bet I would make millions.’ Or we have all had that idea, then bushed it off, only to find the exact same idea marketed and profitable. Because someone took the time and risk to act on the idea.

There are two questions you can ask yourself when you have these self proclaimed genius moments, and know right away whether they actually have a chance of success or not. The first question is: Where can I get it? And The second is : How much does it cost?

You may be wondering just how two simple questions like these can make or break shear genius, well let’s review.

Where can I get it? If your spectacular idea is selling hairbrushes online, the ask this question and you will find that it is easily answered. You can get a hairbrush pretty much anywhere, including most gas stations in the travel supplies. So the odds of selling hairbrushes successfully online are already in the slim to none category.

Now ask yourself the second question, How much does it cost? There is another easily answered question, they tend to run anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars. So will selling hair brushes online make a good online business? After answering those two questions I would strongly discourage the selling of any hair brush online. Most people will not buy and wait for the arrival of a brush online, when they good hop in their car, drive to and buy, and return home with a perfectly good brush within minutes.

Now lets look at it from the other side of the coin. What if your idea was custom made doll houses. Where can I get it? I honestly do not know where you could buy a custom made doll house, specifically made to your specifications. How much does it cost? I could google it an give you a rough estimate of how much something like it may cost, but I would not have any idea in what price range it would run. By the answers from the two questions, I would custom made dollhouses would have a good chance of succeeding online. It is a unique, specially made product not found in your local convenient stores.

With these two questions you will be able to weed out the light bulb moment ideas from the built to fail ideas. You will save yourself heartache and money by not wasting time on some ideas, and urging yourself forward on the money makers.

Internet Marketing Firms Use Social Networking And Media Sharing Web Sites To Improve Search Engine
by: Gregory L Burrus





What is search engine optimization in relation to social media marketing? Is social networking the same as social media marketing? Will your search engine rankings improve? Will you see an increase in business, actually targeted users are needed and will social media really work for your business model? First lets explore the types and possible benefits.

Social media websites and networking web sites provide you an easy way to connect with people who share similar interests like you. Some social networking websites group people with common interests, but some websites are "traditional networking sites" and allow you to search for friends based on your interests. So now how do these websites really operate. In websites like MySpace users share music which was what helped rocket MYspace into the well renown place it is today and in Facebook, users create their personal information that they want shared and use pictures, software programs and audio, videos to display or depict their business environment. In websites like Fastpitch, Joe Popular and Adlandpro the users create product and sale pitches and work with each other. When you do this, using the social media websites to promote your product or services (or a website) is called social media marketing.

So how can you take advantage of this obviously new but what seems beneficial activity? Social media marketing lets you expose your business website to a large group of people. When your site becomes popular in a social media site, people talk about your site and the post that becomes popular. Do this is taking advantage of a form of marketing that you may know it as word of mouth. The additional links means that as you grow these natural links from a large number of relevant websites, your rankings improve in the search engine due to increased organic search traffic.

Another advantage is that search engines programs that roam the web are keen on social media and networking websites and typically go after links on these websites. This means if you have your site link on social networking and bookmarking websites, your search engine optimization ranking is better and your website site will be indexed quickly. Getting bookmarked from different users and different social media websites will definitely help your site rank better on search engines.

Like it or not, social media websites have become an integral part of the internet because social marketing is easy to do, search engines love social links and hence your business by default will benefit. So if you are engaged in operating a website, and search engine optimization is important then you must realign your site to exploit the popular social media websites for increased traffic. To take advantage of this new method of building business you need to know what steps to perform? Well explore search engine optimization services. Also explore social media marketing and the difference to social networking websites.

Understanding the Mortgage....
Understanding the Mortgage....
People are losing their homes and many more will lose their jobs before the mortgage meltdown works its way through the system.

To paraphrase Alan Greenspan's remarks on March 17th, 2008, “The current financial crisis in the US is likely to be judged in retrospect as the most wrenching since the end of the Second World War. The crisis will leave many casualties.”

How many casualties? Experts are predicting that in the next few years, between 15 and 20 million homeowners could have homes worth less than what they owe. Walking away from a bad situation may actually make sense for people who mortgages that are 'upside down' considering the fact that refinancing is out of the question and home equity is nonexistent.

It seems quite easy to point fingers at greedy Wall Street titans for causing the sub-prime mortgage crises. They after all, put together the deals that allowed banks to underwrite mortgages and then offload these liabilities to investors. What many fail to realize is that there is no shortage of blame to go around from homeowners buying more home than they could afford to real estate agents looking for more commission dollars. Mortgage brokers and bankers, the banks themselves, ratings agencies such as Moody's and Standard & Poor's, Wall Street, the Fed and last but certainly not least, the Federal Government.

Let's start with the homeowners--the people who are now in the process or soon to enter the process, of losing their homes. Some of these people had never before owned a home and as such, may not have been prepared for the costs associated with homeownership. Basic financial literacy is sorely lacking in this country despite there being no shortage of budgeting and tracking programs readily available such as Quicken and Microsoft Money. The lack of financial literacy does not absolve these buyers of their responsibility. Every borrower receives a truth in lending disclosure statement. Here is a portion of what the act covers:

The purpose of TILA (Truth In Lending Act) is to promote the informed use of consumer credit by requiring disclosures about its terms and cost. TILA also gives consumers the right to cancel certain credit transactions that involve a lien on a consumer's principal dwelling, regulates certain credit card practices, and provides a means for fair and timely resolution of credit billing disputes. With the exception of certain high-cost mortgage loans, TILA does not regulate the charges that may be imposed for consumer credit. Rather, it requires a maximum interest rate to be stated in variable-rate contracts secured by the consumer's dwelling. It also imposes limitations on home equity plans that are subject to the requirements of Sec. 226.5b and mortgages that are subject to the requirements of Sec. 226.32. The regulation prohibits certain acts or practices in connection with credit secured by a consumer's principal dwelling.

Much of the subprime mortgage crisis can be traced directly back to variable-rate mortgages. As is clearly stated above, “TILA does not regulate the charge that may be imposed for consumer credit. Rather, it requires a maximum interest rate to be stated in variable-rate contracts secured by the consumers dwelling.” It also clearly states that TILA also gives consumers the right to cancel certain credit transactions that involve a lien on a consumer's principal dwelling. One has to wonder whether or not these homeowners:

1. Bothered to read the truth in lending act disclosure at all.

2. Understood what the truth in lending act disclosure meant.

3. Chose to ignore the information printed clearly the truth in lending act disclosure.

A number of months ago, just as the subprime mortgage crisis was beginning to unfold, The New York Daily News ran an article about a family in New York City, who had bought a home and were now faced with the prospect of foreclosure. The article was sympathetic to this family, highlighting the fact that they're living the American dream and that this dream was about to come to an end. What I found to be distressing was the fact that clearly visible in the photo that accompanied this sympathetic article was a very expensive flat screen television hanging on the wall. Perhaps I'm naïve, but I can assure you that if I were faced with the prospect of losing my home and having my family put out on the street, there is absolutely no way that I would still have that expensive television hanging on my wall. It would have been one of the first things to be sold and some financial relief would be found by jettisoning what I'm sure was the expensive cable bill.

Clearly the public needs easy access to financial literacy courses. Too bad we don't see the need to make this a mandatory course of study in our educational system.

Mortgage bankers and brokers have in the last four or five years been raking in cash by the bucket load in the form of commissions paid when mortgages they've originated, close. Many of these people have not needed to do much in the way of prospecting. Instead, their phones have run off the hook as people have jumped on the homeownership and refinancing and take out extra cash bandwagon, despite their ability to pay for their home. No-document loans were readily available without the borrower having to produce documentation that backed up their income. Clearly this practice can and indeed has, lead to substandard loan underwriting processes. Were some of these mortgage bankers and brokers dishonest? Sure. Were all of them dishonest? I think not. To have a massive nationwide conspiracy, where thousands and thousands of people involved in the mortgage banking and mortgage brokering profession got together to create this situation is simply not feasible. Yes, some of the blame does belong with those in the mortgage industry, but they were simply a small cog in the huge machine that created this mess.

Let's discuss real estate agents. In 2007, we bought a home, and also sold a home. The agent we used to purchase our home was absolutely fantastic. In our opinion, she went above and beyond to make our deal happen. She answered every phone call, followed up on every concern and was the epitome of professionalism. We consider this individual to be a friend, and we have sent referrals her way that have resulted in her earning additional commissions. We will continue to recommend her to all who ask or mention that they'd like to buy or sell a home in our area.

The real estate agent, we used to sell our home, could not have been more different. We got our old home ready to sell prior to closing on our new home. We decided to list it as “For Sale by Owner.” In the event that we didn't sell this home on our own, it was our intention to list it with an agent as soon as we had closed on the purchase our new home. Literally, from the day we put the sign in front of our home and listed it on a “For Sale by Owner” website we were inundated with phone calls from real estate agents. We were told many lies and were constantly harassed; although we had already made it quite clear to every agent who called, and there were more to 60 who did; that we were willing to pay half the commission-the same as they would have received had they sold another agent's listing. We also told every agent that called that we had already lined up an agent to sell our home in the event that we chose to no longer sell it ourselves. Our deadline was the closing date of our new home purchase. We did have an interested buyer who shortly after our closing date decided to keep looking so we listed our home with a local agent so that we could concentrate on getting our new home ready for our moving date at the end of the school year. This agent showed our home a maximum of two times and got an offer which we accepted. We ended up getting $1,000 less than we had wanted in a declining Real Estate market. The agents who had called many times to harass us called our listing agent on a number of occasions and he lied telling them that the house was under contract when in fact it wasn't at that time-clearly a breach of our agent's fiduciary duty. Quite frankly an ethical agent would have continued to show our home until closing in the event that the deal fell through.

But wait, there's more. Our agent also acted as the buyer's mortgage broker. At the closing table, we learned that he had signed documents from the buyer stating that he (our agent) represented them and we had signed documents stating that he represented us. We also learned that the buyer had effectively put down approximately 2-3% of the purchase price when financed closing costs were factored into the equation. Their first mortgage had what we thought was a high fixed rate and their second mortgage came with a rate in excess of 8.5%. Because the closing happened in August, literally in the midst of the first wave of the meltdown, if they didn't close on the day they did (August 31st, 2007), Citibank wasn't going to extend their rate. When my wife & I have bought houses in the past, it had always been a very happy day. These people looked absolutely shell-shocked at the closing table. I'm not convinced that they knew just how much their monthly payment was going to be until closing day. We knew down to the penny well in advance having budgeted and planned everything on a spreadsheet. Were these people stupid or just inexperienced and mislead by a greedy combination of real estate agent & mortgage broker? I'm extremely confident that they are intelligent people but inexperienced and taken advantage of by an unscrupulous agent.

The banks are also culpable. Prior to bank deregulation, Savings and Loans provided mortgages to home buyers and kept these loans on their books. Non-performing loans had a negative effect on the S&L's profitability which of course caused tighter lending guidelines such as job stability and decent down payments in order for prospective home buyers to be approved for a mortgage. Way back then, a home buyer had to actually save up enough money for a down payment 10 or even 20% before a bank would ever consider underwriting a mortgage. The checks & balances kept banks solvent and borrowers responsible. Although this approach worked, some cried foul stating that the regulated system was racist and discriminatory-and there certainly was some truth to this. Skipping forward to the present, banks made a bundle on mortgages over the past five or six years. For the most part, they allowed their underwriting criteria to be stretched so far out of alignment that almost anyone could and indeed did, qualify for a mortgage despite their ability to pay. Some folks even applied for and received mortgages for more than the property was worth. Sometimes for as much as 25% more than their property was worth!

Under the prior system, 125% mortgages would not have been possible because of course these loans were held on the banks' books and could have led to losses that would have had to have been absorbed directly by the bank.

So what went wrong? Under the current system, these loans were sold to the big Wall Street investment firms who repackaged them as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO's), Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS's) and other similar acronyms. These instruments were then sent to the ratings agencies for their blessing and more importantly a letter rating. Many of these structured finance deals receive AAA ratings-the highest ratings available meaning that in theory, these instruments were least likely to default. How does one create a 'triple A' or AAA rated financial instrument out of sub-prime mortgages? Herein lies the magic. These Asset Backed Securities (ABS) are made up of different tranches or slices, each carrying a different risk and reward level. The first dollar of principle and interest is applied to the securities with the highest rating, and the first dollar of loss is applied to the tranche with the lowest ratings. The lower slices are designed to provide a security blanket that in theory protects the higher-rated securities. The investment banks that package or 'structure' these securities in order to earn fat fees when they sell them to investors are the same entities that pay the ratings agencies to rate these instruments. Clearly the possibility for conflict of interest is present. If investors and not the investment banks that stand to rake in millions in fees were to pay for the rating, the potential for this conflict of interest would be negated. Furthermore, the investment banks have a vested interest in convincing the ratings agencies of the credit worthiness of these securities.

So we've already pointed fingers at homeowners, some greedy, many more I suspect, naïve or uninformed, real estate agents-one out of more than 60 in my experience was a gem, mortgage brokers & bankers, banks, Wall Street and ratings agencies so who's left? The Federal Reserve and the Government of course.

The Fed as its known is responsible of the country's monetary policy and for supervision and regulation of banks. This is the definition of the Fed's roles in their own words:

Monetary Policy

The Fed is best known for its role in making and carrying out the country's monetary policy-that is, for influencing money and credit conditions in the economy in order to promote the goals of high employment, sustainable growth, and stable prices.

The long-term goal of the Fed's monetary policy is to ensure that money and credit grow sufficiently to encourage non-inflationary economic expansion.

The Fed cannot guarantee that our economy will grow at a healthy pace, or that everyone will have a job. The attainment of these goals depends on the decisions of millions of people around the country. Decisions regarding how much to spend and how much to save, how much to invest in acquiring skills and education, how much to spend on new plant and equipment, or how many hours a week to work may be some of them.

What the Fed can do, is create an environment that is conducive to healthy economic growth. It does so by pursuing a goal of price stability-that is, by trying to prevent inflation from becoming a problem.

Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in prices over a period of time.

A stable level of prices is most conducive to maximum sustained output and employment. Also, stable prices encourage saving and, indirectly, capital formation because it prevents the erosion of asset values by unanticipated inflation.

Inflation causes many distortions in the market. Inflation:

· hurts people with fixed income-when prices rise consumers cannot buy as much as they could previously

· discourages savings

· reduces economic growth because the economy needs a certain level of savings to finance investments that boost economic growth

· makes it harder for businesses to plan-it is difficult to decide how much to produce, because businesses can't predict the demand for their product at the higher prices they will have to charge in order to cover their costs

Bank Regulation & Supervision

The Fed is one of the several Government agencies that share responsibility for ensuring the safety and soundness of our banking system. The Fed has primary responsibility for supervising bank holding companies, financial holding companies, state-chartered banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System, and the Edge Act and agreement corporations, through which U.S. banking organizations operate abroad.

The Fed and other agencies share the responsibility of overseeing the operation of foreign banking organizations in the United States. To insure that the banking system remains competitive and operates in the public interest, the Fed considers applications by banks for mergers or to open new branches.

The passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act in November 1999, was the culmination of a multi-decade effort to eliminate many of the restrictions on the activities of banking organizations.

Some of the main provisions of the GLB are:

· Repeals the existing limitations on the ability of banks to affiliate with securities and insurance firms

· Creates a new organizational form that allows banking organizations to carry new powers. This new entity called a "financial holding company," (FHC) and its non-banking subsidiaries are allowed to engage in financial activities such as insurance and securities underwriting

The Fed's enlarged role as an umbrella supervisor of FHCs is similar to its role in supervising bank holding companies. The Federal Reserve Banks will supervise and regulate the FHCs while each affiliate is still overseen by its traditional functional regulator.

The Fed has to delineate the financial relationship between a bank and other FHC affiliates. Its primary goal is to establish barriers protecting depository institutions from the problems of a failing affiliate. To do this efficiently the Fed has to ensure increased communication, cooperation, and coordination with the many supervisors of the more diversified FHCs.

The Fed has access to data on risks across the entire organization, as well as information on the firm's management of those risks. Regulators will be in a position to evaluate and presumably act on risks that threaten the safety and soundness of the insured banks.

It would appear that the Fed has failed to curb housing inflation which played a role in this entire debacle then made matters worse and in their efforts or lack there of, to properly supervise banking institutions.

Finally the government, a.k.a. Uncle Sam, the big Kahuna 10,000 pound elephant etc. Where do we begin? How about with: 'Where were they?'

It now appears that after millions of horses are out of the barn (some horses ran, others were foreclosed upon) the government wants to step in with a bailout to save the rest. While nobody wants to see people lose their homes, the question that must be raised is this: What about all those of us who were responsible? Those of us, who scrimped and saved up a decent down payment, bought less-house than we could afford and who live below our means? Many of us drive older cars and keep them longer. We don't run out and buy the latest and greatest at inflated prices, we watch, wait and budget.

When the World Trade Center was attacked, families who decided not to sue received government payouts and we certainly don't begrudge them as I'm sure that given the choice, they'd prefer to still have their loved-ones over the money. The problem, in typical government fashion is that those who were responsible and had insurance policies in place received less than those who were irresponsible and didn't plan ahead. I'm not talking about dishwashers at Windows on the World and blue collar workers; I'm talking about executives, traders and people who should have known better.

Now our government, the same government that sat by idly watching as this bubble got bigger and bigger despite many warnings, wants to step in and bailout people who are in danger of losing their homes. There has been no talk about educating people, let's not teach people to fish, rather, let's give them a fish and bail them out once again at the expense of those who are responsible.

Clearly, by keeping the majority of the population financially ignorant, there is a lot of money to be made by the poverty industry.
