Copyright © Glen Walls

1. Give people a free subscription to your e-zine.
Almost everyone is publishing a e-zine nowadays
so it's important to give something extra with the
free subscription. You could offer a free gift or
advertising when people subscribe.

2. Provide your visitors with free content. Your
content will be more attractive to your visitors if
it's up-to-date or original. You could also offer
people the option to reprint the content in their
e-zine or web site.

3. Offer a free online directory. The directory
could be full of interesting e-books, e-zines, web
sites etc. If people find your directory to be a
valuable resource they will visit it over and over.

4. Give your visitors a free e-book. You could
also include your own ad in the e-book and allow
other people to give it away. If you don't want to
take the time to write one, you could ask other
writers permission to use their articles.

5. Hold free online classes or seminars. They
could be held in your web site's chat room. The
idea of "live" information will definitely entice
people to visit your web site. You will become
known as an expert on the topic.

6. Give visitors a free entry into your contest or
sweepstakes. The prizes should be something of
interest or value to your visitors. Most people
who enter will continually revisit your web site to
get the results.

7. Let visitors download free software. It could
be freeware, shareware, demos etc. You could
even turn part of your site into a free software
directory. If you created the software, include
your ad inside and let other people give it away.

8. Offer free online services or utilities from your
web site. They could be search engine submitting,
copy writing proofreading etc. The service or
utility should be helpful to your target audience.

9. Give free consulting to people who visit your
web site. You could offer your knowledge via
e-mail or by telephone. People will consider this
a huge value because consulting fees can be very
expensive.

10. Give your visitors a free membership to your
online club. People want to belong to something,
why not your online club. You could also give away
a free e-zine for club members only

Starting A Home Business Can Be Fun

Starting A Home Business Can Be Fun
Copyright © Glen Walls
http://glenwalls.payitforward4profits.com

There are many reasons that you might want to start a home business. If you are good at something or if you have something that you can offer to others, a home business is a great way to make money in order to support yourself while you are doing as much for others as you possibly can. If you want to start a home business, here are some tips to make sure that it goes over smoothly.

First of all, make sure that it is something you are interested in. This is quite important because this business is going to take up a lot of your time and energy, especially at the very beginning. It is very important that you are embarking on an adventure that you are actually going to enjoy. Often, when someone starts up a home business, they need to work for many hours each day to get the business off the ground and up and running. If you can make sure that you are starting up a business in an area that interests you, you are going to find that you are having a much better time making this a reality for yourself.

Also, you should remember that your business should be completely planned out before you start to work on it. You need to know if it is going to be something that you can do on your own or if you are going to need help from employees. You should be able to find out if you can structure your time around your business or if you are going to have to make adjustments to your schedule.

Make sure that you have all of the contracts worked up, and that you have all of the tax information squared away before you even begin to market your business or sell a product or perform a service. You should make sure that you are getting everything set up first because this is the best way to make sure that you are making the most out of your time.

Last, remember to have fun! The best part of owning a home business is to make sure that you are having fun and that you are enjoying yourself. The only way that you can truly be independent and truly love what you are doing is if you make it something that is enjoyable for you, and if you have fun with it. That is the way to truly enjoy work and to enjoy the way that you are making your living. Remember that this is something that will hopefully be with you for a long time to come, so you should make it count and do the best that you can do!

Is A Home Business Right For You

Is A Home Business Right For You
Copyright © Glen Walls
http://glenwalls.payitforward4profits.com

Do you have the right personality to be self employed? If you are determined, driven to achieve your goal, and able to keep your vision in the crosshairs at all times, then you will most likely be on your way. If less than complimentary clients and even those who harshly criticize your ideas do not deter you from trying, but perhaps are actually spurring you on to try even harder, then you are most certainly on your way to success. Yet what about the financial ability to see it through – are you ready? Can you weather an equipment failure, loss of data, and the need for upgraded equipment without having to resort to using your personal credit cards? Are you able to survive if one or more clients do not pay you one time but leave you hanging for a few months?

If you answered yes to the first two questions you may be well on your way to self employment, yet you are not quite there! There are still some problems associated with being self employed that you need to be aware of before bidding farewell to your boss. Perhaps one of the biggest fear factors is the IRS. These initials are sufficient to drive the fear of doing business into even the most hardened entrepreneurs, and you may be no exception. After all, you will need to be meticulously organized and instead of only paying taxes once a year, you will find yourself at the taxman’s office every quarter. Furthermore, you will need to be prepared to pay your Medicare and FICA and up that point in time of being self employed, it was your boss’ responsibility to do so. Before dismissing that guaranteed paycheck, make sure you will be able to traverse the narrow path the IRS has set forth for the self employed.

On a personal note, self employment for those with family is fraught with another set of problems. A steady paycheck keeps a family well supported and many money worries at bay, while self employment may be more akin to times of feast or famine. Are your family members willing to help you achieve your dream of being self employed? Do they understand the implications of no longer being able to count on the bi-weekly direct deposit in the bank account? It is imperative that everyone involved knows what the changes will mean and get on board with you. Failure to paint an honest picture will result in misunderstandings, feelings of betrayal, and such an increase in strife that you will find yourself scouring the help wanted ads simply to keep peace in the family. Sorting this out ahead of time ensures that everyone is on the same page and ready and willing to support your dream and perhaps even make it their own!

Don’t let your dreams pass you by. Start building your financial future today.

Possible Problems Associated With Self Employment

Possible Problems Associated With Self Employment
Copyright © Glen Walls
http://glenwalls.payitforward4profits.com

The dream of being successfully self-employed is quite possibly innate to anyone who is employed. The idea of having the artistic freedom necessary to create winning marketing campaigns is probably one of the most often cited reasons why an employee would much rather prefer to be their own boss.

Another reason is the fact that the relationship between employer and employee has broken down at some level and the employee realizes that certain needs have not been met and most certainly will remain unmet while in the employment of the company. Yet self employment itself is a bit of a double edged sword and not everyone is cut out for this mode of earning a living. If you are contemplating this step to work from home and throw off the shackles of corporate employment think long and hard if you are truly ready.

There are a set of problems associated with being self employed, and perhaps the biggest obstacle a novice faces is his or her own self. Having a dream is easy; yet making this dream a reality demands a certain level of self discipline. Some personality types are not able to transition from reporting to a boss to reporting to no one yet remaining just as driven. Additionally, some personality types that benefited from the buffer the employer presented when it came to relationships with clients or customers, will sorely find their patience tested when a new client harshly criticizes the marketing strategy you present to them. Especially if you are in an artistic field, some of these criticisms could feel like personal attacks or even personal rejection, making this form of employment almost harder than working for someone else.

The second problem you will face is the question as to who will bankroll your endeavor. After all, it is not enough to have a great idea. You probably also have bills, a family to feed, and if nothing else the daily needs that have to be fulfilled. The number one challenge associated with this step is the fact that many a newbie will use credit cards to get set up. Yet the problems do not end there. How much liquidity you have at the onset will also determine your overall success since it dictates whether or not you can live with the fact that one client is taking an extraordinary long period of time to finally pay you. If one or maybe even more slow clients spell financial trouble to such an extent that you have to touch your retirement savings or home equity, you might not yet be ready for self employment. It is important to begin being your own boss from a position of strength, not weakness.

Even with the advice outlined above you CAN succeed in your own business if you put forth the time and effort. Take the next step and begin researching your future business today so you can make an impact on your tomorrow…

See ya at the TOP!!

of text. Write the ad on a piece of paper, scan it and
publish the ad on your web page. Adding a personal
touch will always increase your sales.

2. Show before and after photos for your products
on your web page copy. Show the problem picture
and then beside it, show the picture of the resolution

that you will donate a percentage of their purchase
price to specific charity. This will show them you
really care about the people. They may just buy
your product to donate to the charity.

7. Ask your potential customers plenty of yes and
no questions in your ad copy. The questions should
remind them of their problem and make them think
about what will happen if they don't purchase your
product.

8. Tell your potential customers they will receive a
free prize if they find the five words in your ad copy
that are misspelled or spelled backwards. The longer
you can keep someone reading your copy the greater
