Tips & Tidbits
=================================================
Take Control of Your Life and Get Organized
STOP!! This is a very important step so do
not take
it lightly. You must stop and step back. Take some
time and figure out exactly what you want and need
to do to organize your life.
Go to "your place" and bring a notebook
and pen.
We all have a place where we like to go to ponder,
think, figure things out. Take a little time to clear your mind
and free yourself from all the "stuff" of life. Then you can
think clearly and objectively. When your mind is cleared, start
thinking about what you want your life and your business
to be. Write these thoughts down. These are your
goals. In order to organize your life, you must know
what your goals are.
After you have determined your goals, you need to
write down the steps to achieving these goals. Each
major goal should be broken down into several smaller
goals.
Achieving one step at a time will build your confidence,
which in turn will help you become more successful.
After you get your plans written down, type them, print
them and refer to them often. Do not let setbacks deter
you. We all have them. Use them as a learning tool
and a strength builder.
Make organization and planning a daily habit. I don't
think any of us are or can be completely organized all
the time. But if we learn to take each step and day at
a time, the times we are not organized or in control
will be fewer are much farther between!!

Post Your Way to Success
Copyright© Trent Brownrigg
www.work-at-home-jobs-iowa.com
Did you know that posting in Discussion Forums is
a wonderful
way to make a name for yourself and increase the chances of
your success? Well, if you didn't know, you do now!
It's true! If you productively spend some time in
online business
forums each week you may find it quite profitable. When I
say "productively" I mean NOT aimlessly posting to any topic you can
find just for the sake of typing. You should actually offer useful
advice and information for people as well as answering questions
that others have. You will also learn a lot of useful tips to help
your business from other people's posts.
Here is a small list of some of the great reasons to post in forums:
1) Exposure to your website or product-In
most forums you can put a
small information box such as an advertisement below each of your
posts. This is a great way to tell people about yourself and your
business. You will also gain a link back to your website to help
with your ranking in search engines.
2) Making a name for yourself-If you consistently offer useful
advice and answers to questions people will begin to notice it. Soon
enough you be seen as an "expert" in your field. Needless to say,
this is very good for your business.
3) Learning-A lot of people frequently post
in discussion forums.
Many of them have been in online business for a long time and know
quite a bit about it. You can gain vast amounts of knowledge by
reading other peoples posts. Or you can simply ask a question and
you are sure to get it answered many times over.
4) Meeting other people-Having a home based
internet business can
get lonely at times. The people in discussion forums can be a bit
like your "co-workers" at a traditional job. You might even make
some great life-long friends.
5) Entertainment-Often there are quite interesting
topics and
replies for you to read. Every now and then someone stirs things up
in a forum and it can be pretty exciting to read the responses.
Well, that is just a taste of why it is great to
post in forums. Of
course, there are more reasons and you may even have some personal
reasons of your own.
Now lets look at some ways to get more out of them
so you aren't
wasting your precious time:
1) It is best to post to forums that get a
lot of traffic. There are
many forums out there but quite a few of them hardly get any
visitors. You can get a general idea of how much traffic they get
just by looking at how many posts they get each day. If it seems to
be getting a lot of posts everyday then it probably gets quite a bit
of traffic all the time.
2) Stay away from forums that aren't moderated
or that let you post
just about anything you want. These types of forums are generally
full of blatant advertising and spam. Don't waste your time with
them! You won't really get anything useful from these forums. Also,
DO NOT blatantly advertise or spam posts. It will ruin your
reputation and could get you banned from forums.
3) Restrict your time in forums by setting
up some sort of schedule
or time limit for visiting them. You can sometime lose track of time
reading and responding to topics. Obviously you need some time for
other business tasks so you don't want to use it all up in forums.
Trust me they can get very addicting so this is an important step.
4) Do not post just for your own benefit.
It is important to offer
useful advice and information to others. By offering valuable
comments you will get people to notice you more thus increasing the
chances that they will do business with you.
5) Take full advantage of the signature paragraph
that most forums
let you set-up. This is where you do get to do a little advertising.
Tell about yourself and/or your business. Provide a link to your
website or product so people can get to it easily. Your link will
also help with your search engine popularity and ranking.
6) Be respectful and polite to others on the
discussion forums. Even
if you don't totally agree with someone it is best not to attack
them. People will notice if you are rude and obnoxious. It is better
for you to just keep your unnecessary comments to yourself.
I regularly visit quite a few discussion forums.
I have found that
they are fun to read and post in and can be very rewarding. Some are
better than others but all can be beneficial when used properly. You
just need to find the forums that fit what you are looking for.
Become a "regular" there and you will be rewarded.
Here are some of the best business forums that I
visit frequently,
in no particular order:
Open Forums (don't require registration):
http://www.ablake.net/forum/
http://www.howtocorp.com/forum/
http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/184615
http://www.homebusiness-websites.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi
http://www.ozemedia.com/cgi-bin/webbbs/webbbs_config.pl
http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/11488
http://www.williecrawford.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi
http://www.friendsinbusiness.com/board1/index.cgi
These websites have forums that require you to register
before you
post but it only takes a couple minutes and doesn't cost anything:
http://www.wilsonweb.com/
http://www.infoprofitstalk.com/
http://www.siteownersforums.com/
http://www.associateprograms.com/
http://www.webproworld.com/
http://www.workathomenetwork.com/discussionboards.htm
http://www.mom101.com
I am sure that is good enough to get you started!
The above list
consists of many of the most well-known business forums as well some
lesser known ones. Pretty much all of them get good traffic and none
of them allow spam or blatant advertising.
