Article #1 - Part 2 - Blogging
What is
Blogging?
Some of the most popular Internet related terms today are
the words “blog” and “blogging” - but what is blogging, and how
can blogging be of benefit to me and my
life?
What is
Blogging?
The simplest
answer to, “What is blogging?” is that it's the act of writing in and
maintaining a blog. So, that creates another question: what is a blog?
The word blog is actually a contraction of two words, “web log”, and is
a term used to describe a particular type of website. These websites
could be called virtual diaries, or online journals that are used for
either
personal expression or a community expression of ideas and
thoughts.
Most people
who are involved in blogging use their blogs for personal reasons – to
talk about their day, or important events in their lives. Blogging can
also be used to keep families up to date with current events, or to
document the happenings in a household. Blogs can also be used in a
personal way to express opinions on different subjects. Many bloggers
use their blog as a place to explore their thoughts on diverse subjects
from shopping to politics, and
see it as a way to get their viewpoint
across.
Other blogs
are written by businesses or other institutions. In these instances, the
blogs are used more as a way to keep their customers or followers in the
know about key issues and events in their companies. Large companies,
such as Microsoft and Sony, may have several different blogs flowing
from within – some are written by employees, others by owners or outside
observers. These blogs can be a good source of information about what is
going
on in the day to day life of a
company.
A final way
that blogging can be used is to allow a community of people, interested
in the same topic, to post “entries” about that topic. Whether it is a
blog about a specific hobby or even a specific type of employment, these
types of blogs and this blogging style allows readers to see the
different viewpoints and conversation from several individuals instead
of just one. These blogs tend to be more focused on news or important
events, but can also be personal
experiences that add to the general feel of the
blog.
So, what is blogging? Blogging is definitely one of
the biggest trends online today – a way to both keep a journal for
yourself and to showcase your thoughts to others. A blog is almost like
a diary that's meant to be read – and the act of blogging can be both
cathartic to the writer and interesting to the reader.

Article #2
Finding The Right Home Business At The Right Time…My
Journey….
Searching
for the perfect home-business opportunity is like searching for a needle
in a haystack, these days……how on earth do you ‘find’ an opportunity
that is not only legitimate, but also best suited to your needs, or
interests? Especially if you’re not at all sure of what you want, and
are more focused on ‘I just need to make some
money’…..
This had
been a dilemma for me for several years, searching endlessly online,
clicking a million ads, finding something that looked promising, maybe
getting totally excited for about 10 minutes, reading about the
opportunity, and then backing away, hedging, hesitating, and saying to
myself…’well, there’s probably something better, I’ll keep looking’,
‘well, it might be a scam’……All the while I was doing this, over &
over, I never seriously considered the possibility that I wasn’t
actually READY to take on a home business yet. Obviously, somewhere in
the back of my mind, I knew it meant commitment, work, and learning
something new, in other words, applying myself, not just sit back &
watch the money roll in, like so many opportunities will pitch you. That
no matter what was promised, the other shoe would ‘drop’ as soon
as I signed up, and I’d find out ALL the stuff they DIDN”T tell me
about…and then I’d have to either quit, or rise to the occasion and
EXERT some effort I’d feel I was misled into believing I wouldn’t HAVE
to exert. PHEW!! Anybody know what I’m talking about? But, what
can I say, this was my mentality, I had been just as conditioned as most
people into wanting “Instant Results”, “Free”, etc. (I didn’t want to be
a believer in ‘No Pain, No Gain’). Thankfully, a smidgeon of reality finally
kicked in to my brain. Now I realize, it’s a matter of how
MUCH pain (a lot less if you find the RIGHT
opportunity).
Well,
eventually, as time went on, and my financial situation became
increasingly tight, and unpredictable, my need for finding a home
business also became more urgent, to the point where I really got
serious, and began to actually meditate, and ask for guidance to connect
me with the perfect business. I started looking at ads differently, with
a more discerning and emotionally detached eye, asking for my intuition to kick in and
lead me to the right place. This may seem funny to some people,
and perfectly sensible to others, but bear with me……it actually
worked.
One day I
was surfing the net, as usual, and I opened an ad, and something about
it struck me in a certain way, it piqued my interest, I felt the person
speaking in the presentation was sincere and I believed him. My
instincts were kind of jumping up & down at this point. Without
hesitation, I proceeded on to the next step, etc, then, I waited a few
days to feel it out, & make sure this was ‘it’. I didn’t want to
‘jump’ too fast, even though I had this feeling. I gave myself a whole
week to ‘sleep on it’, to be certain, and at the end of that period,
I felt it was the right decision. Congratulations, I said to myself, you
have yourself a business…..you’re a tire-kicker no more! I felt
ecstatic.
Now to fast
forward a bit, after getting started, I quickly realized, OH yes, there
is more to do, and to learn, than I was initially ‘sold’ on….I suspect
this is true with most internet/work-at-home opportunities. I realized
there is probably no way to totally convey to someone, who is new to
business and/or internet marketing, the learning curve they will have to
go through. Even if you don’t have to do any selling, even though there
may be an automated-type system in place, even if you can buy leads, and
other forms of advertising, you still must learn how to actually market
your products, through your own efforts, by trial & error. The
question then becomes, if you’ve chosen the right business, with a great
product, do you have an excellent support system within your company,
that will help you every step of the way? Who will totally be there for
you when you feel utterly lost, and overwhelmed? Or discouraged because
it’s not going as fast as you hoped? For me, the answer happily is
‘yes’….and that is what’s making all the difference in the world. I
remind myself each day that I made the right choice, and it’s now up to
me to use this tremendous training & support
that is constantly being extended. Everyone’s there to help...and in the ‘real’ world,
(not some fantasy, get-rich-quick-without-any-effort world), what is more valuable than
that?

Tip of the Day
Install a "Signature" in your e-mail
program.
Most e-mail programs allow you to create a "signature"
that automatically appears at the end of each message you send.
Use this signature to reinforce your “elevator pitch” – provide
your company name, address, phone number, URL, e-mail address, and
a concise description of your business offering. This will be a
great summary of your value proposition for people to whom you
send direct marketing e-mails, it will reinforce your value for
visitors who have opted to receive e-mails from you, and it can
support viral marketing efforts – providing your information to
third parties to whom your target audience might forward the
e-mails. Using tracking and web metrics tools throughout this
process is incredibly important. All too often a new website will
try a myriad of techniques to increase traffic without the web
metrics analysis to truly gauge which campaigns are
successful.
