Simple Reasons For Starting A Home Business

Hello everyone,

The other day I was driving from work thinking about the business and I was trying to figure out what I can say to help motivate people to want to start a home business. Everyone has their own reasons for doing anything in life and always striving to be better in what they are doing now. We all have goals in life. Goals are the driving force that makes us who and what we are today. So what I decided to do was come up with a few reasons why to start up a home business and what benefits come w/ it.

1. You are the boss! You are the on single person that calls the shots. You decide how you want to run your business.

2. No worries about getting fired. Job security for as long as you continue to work your business.

3. No more long hours when you own your own business. You will be able to set your own hours that best fits your schedule.

4. You will be able to work less hours and make more money than you did at your previous job. Which will allow you to spend more time and do the things that you want to do.

5. Stress would not be a factor in your life. You will be doing something you enjoy and love. Not many people can do this.

6. When you work from home, you can have more fun. You don't have to worry about dress codes or any types of rules and regulations. You can work in your your pajamas from home if you like.

7. You will start to save on daily expenses. Things like gas costs to work and back. Maybe even toll expenses if you have any in your area. If you like going to Starbucks or your favorite coffee shop, you don't have to worry about that, because you can make your own at home and also wear and tear on your vehicle. All of these eliminated from your daily life can save you a lot of money as well.

8. You can start your own home business w/ little or no cost at all. Which means, the minute you start making money, it's all profit from there.

9. Owning your own business comes w/ many tax benefits at the end of the year. I suggest talking to your tax expert or even look online in regards to owning your own business. You will be surprised!

10. The last thing I feel is the best benefit from starting your own home business is PRIDE! You did it on your own and all the hard work becomes satisfying once you start making money.

These are just a few reasons for starting your own business. Of course we all have different reasons and agendas for doing something because of course we are all different. But just a food for thought....The decisions we make in the world today, will affect generations to come. For me as a father, I want to leave this world knowing that I did all I can do to make sure my children and their children have a great life. I want my family to look back in their family tree and know that my wife and I made the right decisions in life and they can use us as an example to help guide their families.

"Stay Motivated and Always Strive To Best That You Can Be"

Motivation For A Successful Home Business

Hello everyone,

I hope you found my last post in regards to Open Sky informative. The video should have given you a little insight of what the company is all about. It is very encouraging to know that it is possible to start your own home business and be successful at it. To know that there are people taking control of their lives and overcoming all obstacles. What I think makes their businesses successful is their motivation. So I decided to have you read one of the articles I have written in regards to this subject.

How Motivation Plays a Major Role With Your Business

By Oliver Olano

There are so many successful business owners out in the world today. These people of course did not get to where they are at right now w/ out some type of motivation to get them there. Motivation is a very powerful tool that is used to create, build, overcome, and is a factor for any business or personal endeavor. It is the biggest factor in any individuals life that determines their success. In the military, our motivation was to be the best that we can be whatever the task was. Its the force that drives us to be the best and to accomplish our goals in life. By using this force, it allows the individual to overcome all obstacles that may present themselves during their journey to reach their goal.

When it comes to starting a business, you have to remind yourself everyday what motivates you. It can be anything and everything to that individual. Some peoples motivation is to make as much money as they can. Some feel that building the best website is what motivates them. The most common motivation I see out in the Internet business world is generating that financial freedom so there can be more family time. This is the driving force that keeps you focused on what your goal is. Determination and motivation combined can be powerful when used together. That's why the most successful people out there stick out above all the rest.

Just knowing what motivates you is sometimes not enough. You have to dig deep inside when dealing with adversity. Staying on that line towards your goal will always have challenges that may come about. Things like,money, time, and personal problems may occur. Staying motivated on your journey is not an easy task. For some it can either make you or break you. Especially when you are starting a business. I guarantee you that you will be presented with challenges during your journey and you may come to a point where you may want to give up. The key to this all is to, "REMIND YOURSELF WHATS YOUR MOTIVATION", and that will and should keep you focused on the goal.

For my journey to start my own Internet business, my family is my most motivating factor. It's what keeps me motivated to stay up at night to work on my  business. I am currently working in the corporate world today and find that it has been taking a lot of family time away from me. I want to be able to spend more time with my family and not having to worry about money. This is what motivates me and this is what will get me to my goal. I'm on my way and nothing will get in the way of me achieving this goal. Good Luck!

I hope you have found the article helpful. My goal in writing is to hopefully light a fire inside anyone who reads my articles to be the best that he or she can be. Give the individual ideas and a vision to believe they can do anything they want to do or become. Always remember to stay focus on your vision and goals. Remember what your motivation is inside! Walk on that line and stay on that line towards your goals no matter what obstacles come in front of you. Good Luck! Article Source: http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Oliver_Olano

Believe In Yourself

Hello everyone,

Well, another weekend has come and gone and my Oakland Raiders have won 59 to 14 against the Denver Broncos. Of course this was one of my high lights of the weekend. Any win by the Raiders is always satisfying for me, but winning by that margin and in Denver is so so Sweet!

There are so many things in life that can deter you from what you want to accomplish. You may have financial issues that can be putting a heavy weight on your shoulders. There can be some family issues that you're dealing with. Having some personal problems at work, that could be placing a toll on your health. Whatever the issue is, it's preventing you to stay motivated and believing in yourself to accomplish your dreams.

Dreams can be anything in your life. You may have dreams of getting promoted. Dreams of being financially free. Dreams of starting your own business. Or just dreams of being a good father, mother, husband, or wife. These dreams of ours are what drives us to be who and what we want to be in life. Without these dreams, we would be living life day by day. Taking what life has to give us.

Now, it can be hard to stay motivated and positive, especially right now during these hard times. Yes work may be stressing you out. Yes you may be out of shape and your health is not doing to well. Yes your finances may be stressing you out. You feel like you're in a box suffocating with no way out!

But there is a way out! There is always a way out. You have to remember that you have control of everything and anything that goes on in your life. There are more positive things in your life that you may think. One of the most important things in your life right now is life itself. These negative things going on your life right now are just temporary. You cannot let these things get to you. You must always see the positive things in your life and not be bogged down by the negative things. You have the ability, by just the snap of your fingers, to change how you feel, how you think, and how you see your life. You were put on this earth for a reason and I guarantee you it was not to fail. You have to believe that you were destined to be great. Of course there are obstacles that you have to over come in life, but by you trying, believing, and staying positive, the conquest of those obstacles are what makes us and defines us.

The key is to stay positive. You need to wake up believing that you will have great day, believing your finances will start to change for the better, believing that your health will start to improve, and believing you are destined to be great! The more you start believing in your self and the more you stay positive, the odds of you failing decreases dramatically. Even if you have to think back to when you were a kid. From kindergarten all the way to the day you graduated high school. That is an accomplishment in itself.

You see...you have been accomplishing obstacles your whole life. Don't let the negatives get you down. If you want to get that promotion, be the best that you can be at work. If you want to improve your health, start working out and eating right. If you want your finances to improve, create a daily budget and be proactive with what you spend. If you want your home business to be successful, do your research, study the economy, and  NEVER GIVE UP! You are destined for greatness. Believe in yourself, have faith, and stay positive! Dwelling on the negatives in your life will not do anything but get you down. It not only affects you but it affect the people around you. Don't let the negativity win! You have the power to change it and you have the power to stay positive! Keep your head up and believe! Good Luck!

Passion For Success Online

Hello everyone,

Well another weekend has ended and it's time for a new week of work. I hope everyone had a good weekend with family and friends.

I've learned a lot since I've started my affiliate marketing business. If you noticed my blog has gone through many changes. I've added a few pages to help market the top affiliate businesses out on the Internet today. My Plug Profit Site is starting to generate traffic because of my blog and articles I have written on Ezinearticles.com. Global Domains International, My World Plus, and SFI sites are starting to generate consistent traffic as well. 

What I've learned the most is studying and doing research on the products that I'm promoting. That is one of the keys to being successful with this business. You have to believe in the product and service that you're promoting. You have to have passion and belief for the company products of any Internet business from which you expect to make money. Passion in this sense simply means that you've researched and like the company and its products. It is then, that you translate that like, into education, excitement, and work that usually accompany passion.

Now passion is not the only thing necessary to become successful because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and much more. Those things are often learned from the company you join, but sidestep passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically. It therefore follows that, if you have no passion for the company and the products and services provided by the company, again, you won't attempt to do the work you are being taught.

Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time-consuming but it does take motivation caused by passion to get you off and running with a sustained effort, so that you won't stumble. You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet marketing industry for business opportunities. USE IT!

By doing your research, you will be able to find that one product that you like and be passionate about. For me I've found a few already that I'm very passionate about and know that it can and will be my next greatest success story. Second only to my family. This passion is what drives me. I know inside my soul that I can and will be successful.

For example. Think about the doctors, teachers, and song writers. A doctor cannot just be a doctor and not be passionate about it. It is their passion to be able to help people stay healthy and strong. A teacher cannot teach with out passion. They became a teacher because it's their passion to be able to educate people. And also a song writer cannot just write song with out passion. They write songs because they know in their heart that writing songs is what they love to do.

You can define passion with every success story in your life. For me, my passion is to provide my family with the best opportunity that life has to offer. Motivate them to be positive and know that they can do and become anything they want to be in life.

You see passion can be anything in your life. A good writer, doctor, teacher, parent, and business owner, as long as you have passion in what you are doing, you are halfway there. Don't let the nay sayers get in your way. If your passionate about about being an actor or passionate about owning a business, or even passionate about writing, you can use that passion as an advantage in your life. I say that because it's something that no one can ever take a way from you. That is where your heart is. It's what helps drive you to reach that goal in your life. 

So in regards to Internet marketing, there are steps you must make before you step into Internet marketing but if you don't first find the right company products and services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success. But when you do find that one, and you know it's a product you like and you feel other people will like, you can use that product to help w/ your passion to become a successful Internet business owner.

I hope you all found this helpful and informative. I want to give you all viable information about the business and keep it informative so you can use some of my tips in your affiliate marketing journey. I want to motivate people in being the best that they can be in all aspects of their life. Whether it's starting an Internet home business or just trying to better themselves in life.

Thanks and Good Luck!

Robert Kiyosaki

Hello everyone,

A few years ago I read a book called, " Rich Dad Poor Dad ", written by Robert Kiyosaki. Robert Kiyosaki is know all across the Globe and is an expert in educating people w/ their finances.  The book is not only about his life but it is also and educates you on money and how it works. The book has given me a wealth of knowledge and a different look on life and has motivated me to strive and become and entrepreneur myself. I highly recommend reading his book and I even suggest letting your children read the book as well. I've come a across a few videos that I'v seen on You Tube. I really think you will be surprised and it will make you think!

Create A Funny Video Website

Creating a funny video website is not only easy but can be fun as well. These are the four easy steps to create a funny video website and make a good profit at the same time.

Choosing a Unique Name.

The first thing to making a funny video website is choosing a good name. Have some fun trying to think of catchy names for your website. A catchy, unique, and memorable name is key to not only getting traffic but maintaining traffic.

Finding Videos

You can easily lift videos from other popular video sites. But there are also sites that allow you access to many of the popular funny videos, which you can use. You Tube is an easy place to find a funny video. Most of the time they provide you w/ the HTML code, which allows you to embed the video on your site. There are many sites that share with one another as well, so getting the videos to supply for your funny video website is pretty easy.

Making money.

Making money off your site is going to consist of different forms of income streams. They can consist of click on ad's, banner advertising, and actual products which you can sell on your site and receive heavy commissions from.

Start up accounts at Google and Yahoo for click on ad's, and find Internet products which will coincide with the type of videos you'll be showing. Many Internet products will have programs that you can sign up for and immediately start promoting on your site. Remember the key for success is getting traffic to your site. Once your site develops traffic, you can start to hit up larger business's for banner ad's which can pay very well. The combination of different income streams will bring a steady income flow as long as your traffic is ramped up.

Putting your site together.

There are specific programs you can get for building sites. They will take the headache of "coding" away, and have you setting up your site quickly and fairly easily. A good "make video website" book or manual will show you exactly what needs to be done and provide inside access to sources which can make things thousands of times easier. You tube has wealth of information as well. There are many marketers who make how to videos that help people create websites, embed videos, and even show you how to do create a blog on your website.

As you can see, it's not that difficult to create a funny video website. You may need to do some extra research and studying, but for the most part the idea and direction has been laid out. All you need to do is get started. Sit down w/ a pen and paper and brain storm a catchy name. Remember, a catchy, unique, and memorable name is key to not only getting traffic but maintaining traffic. Get your videos. A best place to start is searching on You Tube. Find some companies that are free to join and you can make money when people buy their product on you site. Then do your research or find an affordable host that will help assist you in putting it all together. 

Creating Income For Free

Hello everyone,

Looks like another weekend has ended and it's time for another week of work, at least for most of us. I hope you all have enjoyed your time w/ family and friends.

I wanted to talk to you all about the costs of starting a business on the Internet. Some people may think that you need a lot of money to make money online. But in reality, you can start an Internet business w/ very little capital. In fact, you can create your own website for free and still have the potential to make a lot of money.

For instance, I will use my blog as an example. If you look around my site it may seem to the average person that it must have cost me a lot of money to create the website. Or I may have paid someone or a company to create it for me. My blog was totally free and I did not have to spend a dime. I joined Blogger.com and it allowed me to create my blog the way I wanted to look and feel. Blogger.com is just one of many companies that you can go through and create your own website, but I think it is the best out there for anyone starting.

Some knowledge of HTML may be needed to learn how to install video's and links, but there are many places on the Internet  like You Tube that can help you understand just enough. ( If you need information on how to install video's you can leave you're email address w/ your question and I will be happy to assist  ) Again, even the videos that you see on my blog were totally free and found on the Internet or You Tube.

Now you're probably asking how can I make money? Or why start a Blog? For me I feel a blog is a good way to try and catch the readers eye. I want readers to come back and read my blog. I want to try and give them an idea on the Affiliate Marketing business. Motivate my readers to be the best that they can be by being honest and provide them with useful information that they can use in their own business or in their lives.

Now there are hundreds of companies that are willing to pay you to put their adds on your site. To do this all you need to do is find these companies, become an affiliate, and put their add on your site. If the readers purchases their product from your site, you get paid. There are some affiliates that give you the opportunity to gain residual income by selling their product on your site.

There are companies like Host Gator, which is a hosting company. Now take a look at the right side of my blog. Do you see the Host Gator advertisement? Now I'm going to use them as an example. I have joined Host Gator and have become an affiliate member, (for free!). What this means is that, I can promote their product on my site and get paid when someone decides to use them to host or create their website. Currently, I get paid $50.00 to $125.00 every time someone joins Host Gator. There are affiliate marketers making thousands of dollars a month just by promoting Host Gator. Host Gator is a well known Hosting company with a good reputation that thousands of people are using.

Now think about this for a moment. This is just one product on my site that I became a member for free and now getting paid anytime someone joins from my site. Mostly everything on my site that anyone purchases or becomes a member, I get paid. Some of the products has the potential to give me residual income ( money paid to me as long as a member makes monthly payments ). I want to share this because its a market that not many people know about. Some feel that they are not qualified or just think it's hard to learn. But it is not! You may need to do some research on certain things like HTML or installing photos and videos, research on marketing your website/blog, learn things like SEO, search engine optimization, and know what type of keywords to use. But think about it, wouldn't  a little research be worth the amount of money that you can potentially earn? In my opinion, I would think it would be worth it 100%, if it means I can be financially free.

That's why I feel a blog is a great tool to use to market your products. I enjoy writing and sharing my thoughts and life experiences w/ my readers, which makes it enjoyable as well. Remember the key is TRAFFIC! You may have a good product or service out there but if you don't have traffic going to your site, you will have no sales. So look around my blog and see what I have to offer. If you are really serious in finding  a powerful way to make good residual income on the Internet, you can go visit www.OlysHomeBiz.com.  Good luck to you and see you next time!

STAY POSITIVE

Hello everyone,

There can be many challenges in life. Not knowing what the future holds. Waiting for when the time comes when life gets easier and you stop living life check to check. Or hoping that the business venture you're doing is going to turn and all your  hard work will be rewarded. For some, they live life day to day and start to wonder what their purpose in life is. Living day to day, taking care of the kids, or working a full time job and trying to survive, are what a lot of people are going thru today. They lose sight of what they wanted to be. They lose sight of what their passion is and that's when they start to get  depressed and start to feel unsure if they're a good parent, husband, wife, or provider. It can be overwhelming and can make you feel lonely.

Sometimes you have to stop and think about your life for a moment. Close your eyes, take a few breaths and think. I mean really think about what is positive in your life? Yes you may be living life check to check. Yes, it's hard not knowing what the future holds. Yes you don't have time to be what you wanted to be in life. And yes, it can make you feel unsure of being a good parent, husband, or wife. But what are the positives?

Don't ever forget to stop and think about the positive things in your life. The most important thing in you life is pretty much life itself. You are breathing and you are healthy. Think about your kids next. Next to your health, your kids should be your priority in life. You should feel good because your kids have clothes to wear, food to eat, and a place to live. That's a positive. If you have a full time job, that's a positive as well because there are so many people out in the world today that are unemployed. And if you are unemployed, the best thing to do is STAY POSITIVE, HAVE FAITH, and THINGS WILL TURN! You just have to believe. Things will always turn around for the better. You've come this far in your life!

You may have had dreams to do or be something when you were younger and you may still have dreams. But that's what dreams are for. Dreams are made to come true. You can still achieve those dreams no matter how old or how young you are. It's like the saying goes, you can be what ever you want to be. Keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, until your dreams come true! Don't ever let anyone or anything stand in your way. It may be a journey to get there but stay on that line, balance your life, stay positive, and your path to your dreams will come true.

That goes the same for any business as well. It may be difficult at times and you think that your business is not going anywhere. But you need to remain positive. I know the word POSITIVE is mentioned a lot but if you think about it, it is a very powerful word. I've learned that the way to achieve anything in life is having the right attitude. Having the right attitude means thinking positive about everything. Right when you start your day, you need to wake up believing that you will have GREAT day, your business will start to progress, your kids will have a safe and productive day, and your journey to your dreams will soon come true.

Once you try to think and live positive, I guarantee you, you're life and the people around you will change in a POSITIVE way.
