You probably have heard all these terms an awful lot lately. You wonder about what these technologies do? What value to they provide? If you aren't up to speed on these new applications and how they are impacting retail online interaction then read this brief further.

Will these technologies impact you? To be honest, it's too early to tell - but awareness drives innovation and maybe your team will develop an idea/application that truly changes a portion of your eCommerce business.

Here's the rundown:

Blogs

What it is:

Probably the most well known of the three, blogs allow everyday people to quickly develop a website and distribute any type of content that they desire. Many web entrepreneurs use this functionality to develop online stores within niche markets, while using search popularity to beat out larger retailers on the specific terms within the market.

Where Blogs make make sense is within targeted online communities. Certain blog authors develop a large base of specific visitors, hence the site becomes a target market for viral marketing. By integrating your brand image within the site experience at that SPECIFIC blog, you as an online marketer are able to truly segment your marketing PRIOR to converting someone as a customer.

Should you care:

If you have a very unique value proposition, or sell to a very specific or high-value customer segment, blogs can be a great way to increase overall brand awareness. You can better connect with your customers and provide detail into the current sales/promotions that you are providing.

Podcasting

What it is:

Pocasting should be just called mobile video broadcasting - Apple's marketing/development team did a great job with branding their device to a type of emerging media! Similar to traditional radio and television, mobile video broadcasting delivers branded content in either a paid/free environment, on someone's mobile MP3 player (Apple only does video currently, but that will change shortly). Retailers can use this communication channel to further connect to their customers with promotional events, while transmitting specialty programming to meet an interest need.

Should you care:

Not really. Until video podcasting penetration increases, it's still a limited channel for advertising. The best application available right now would be an online content segment that is digitally delivered to an opt-in list. As technology advances, you can potentially do this from your current opt-in page from your website and not from Apple's iTunes platform.

RSS

RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication and is a method for electronic content distribution. RSS is transmitted via the internet, but what makes it unique is that no downloading efforts are needed by the end receiver of the content. It streams instateneously. Consumers can have news readers on their computers, either integrated into an emal client, or an aggregated web application such as News Gator, and are able to get information relating to their interests.

Already gaining steam in the travel industry and within comparison shopping engines, RSS seems to be a valuable way to push news, offers, and infomrmation to customers. Travel companies are able to provide a streaming supply of last minute airfare offers to their customer segments, without that customer having to open an email or visit a webpage.

Should you care:

Depends on the nature of your business. Do you consistently offer new prices? Do you get new pieces to your assortment consistently? Do you have a customer base that is extremely loyal that you want to reach out to with messaging? If so, RSS may another channel to help build your brand.

Don't Quit Your Day Job!

Don't Quit Your Day Job!

Word Count:

Summary:
This article outlines the process you should follow when you are starting your home business.  Thoughts on how prepared you need to be when you are ready to jump and quit your job.

Keywords:
home business, online, home business ideas, home business help

Article Body:
Ever heard someone try to sing who isn't a very good singer? Or someone try to tell jokes who isn't really very good at being a comedian? That's when you'll often hear the saying, "don't quit your day job!"

This article is about something different. We are assuming that you ARE qualified to do whatever it is that you are currently doing, though you may not be as happy in your current occupation as you would like to be.

Among the top 5 questions that I am asked, or issues that are raised by people I talk to, is whether or not someone should quit their job to work a home based business. Or, if they are currently out of work, whether they should try to make a go of working their business fulltime as opposed to looking for employment and/or going back to work.

In most cases the answer is, categorically, no! But, not always… Let's take a look.

Though many people get themselves into trouble by placing too much confidence in their ability to earn income from their newfound home business too soon, fortunately there are some very simple guidelines that you can use when considering such decisions.

1. Are you earning at least as much, if not more, in your home based business as you are in your current occupation?

If not, then you should really think twice before trying to venture out and quitting your job.

2. How long have you been working your business, and how long has the company been around?

Both are important factors. According to readily available statistics, such as from the SBA (Small Business Administration), most businesses fail within the first 5 years. Further, especially in network marketing, most new companies are out of business within a year or two. If you are pinning your future on a brand new company, that's probably not a very wise approach, especially if you don't have money saved up, as we'll discuss below. Similar factors apply to you. The more business experience you have and the longer you've been at it, the greater the likelihood that you too will be able to pass the test of time. If you are brand new to working your own business then you should probably allow some time before deciding to quit your current job.

3. How much do you have in liquid or readily accessible savings that you can use for living expenses?

Most financial planners and experts agree that you should have enough liquid savings to cover, at minimum, 3 months of living expenses and overhead. And 6 months to a year, or more, is even better.

In addition to the above, by all means always remember NOT to plan your future without a job on what you "hope" your home business will do, as opposed to already having a proven track record that demonstrates how much money you can reliably expect your business to put into your bank account.

Especially if you are new to being involved in a home business then it can be difficult really visualize what lay ahead. But, if you consider things from a standpoint with which you are already familiar, such as a job, it will be easier to understand. For instance, let's say that you currently work as a Senior Administrative Assistant and you decide that you would like a career change and you want to become a surgical nurse. Would you realistically expect to be earning money from that new occupation any time in the near future? Probably not. You would need to go to school, or back to school, perhaps for years, to be trained and prepared for entry into your new chosen profession.

This analogy seems obvious when applied to a job, but for some reason many people feel that they can simply jump into a new home business, with no prior experience, no training, etc., and make an immediate go of it. However, doesn't it only make sense that if you are going to become involved in starting a new business that, likewise, you will need to undergo the proper training, and that there will be a learning curve, etc.?

True, a certain small percentage of people do manage to create instant success, and a fulltime income, even starting a new business with no prior experience. But, those are the exceptions rather than the rule.

Most people working toward success in a home business will at the very least undergo a learning curve, will very likely experience some struggles along the way, and may very well end up spending or losing sizeable amounts of time and money before becoming profitable and creating a sustainable income. The more information and training you gather along the way the more likely you are to be successful, fasters, and with fewer headaches. But, even if you do well, it is still unrealistic to expect to create a fulltime income immediately starting from scratch.

Near the beginning of this article I cited a commonly known statistic about business failure rates. Another equally well known fact that you can likewise easily confirm via many sources, including the SBA (Small Business Administration), is that near the top of the list as reasons for business failure are a lack of capital and cash flow. In other words, not enough money. Knowing this, you would be especially wise to include your current employment, or some kind of regular employment that produces a steady paycheck, into your business planning.

Once you actually start making a profit in your home business, and you have a track record, then you can start planning your budget and your future according to what you realistically expect to earn each month in your business. However, until you get to that point you "business" operating budget realistically has to come either from the money that you earn in your current occupation, or from savings, or both. Quitting your job prematurely, or choosing not to seek employment when you have no other source of regular income, in the hopes that you will earn enough from your home business is, in most cases, a recipe for disaster unless you've followed guidelines similar to those discussed here.

You can find more articles on what to do when you are first starting your home business at  We have an RSS feed that adds new articles on starting your own home business as well as tips when you are already knee deep in entrepreneur enterprise.

Balance your home based business

Balance your home based business

Summary:
I will show you how you can keep fit and care for yourself without neglecting your home based business

Keywords:
home based business, work-life balance, internet marketing, fitness, business start-up, work home entrepreneur,

Article Body:
Millions of people long to work from home, and the lucky few manage to achieve their ambition.  Once you have realized the dream, it's important to maintain the work-life balance or you could find your effectiveness declines.  Working at home still has its own pitfalls: you've left the day job and you're no longer shackled to the desk by your evil boss.  But your new boss can be even more tyrannical – it's you!!

The urge to make your business succeed is powerful.  All entrepreneurs feel that sense of urgency, and the need for perfection.   By making that change to the next e-mail or tweaking the website, it's going to make all the difference to the success of the business.  We all have to remember that the most important business asset we hold is ourselves, and we should prize it accordingly.  It is a truism that we only get one body, so we should take care.  Treat yourself like a thoroughbred, with the right diet, rest and exercise. 

Chances are that your workspace wasn't designed for the job.  If you don't use an office chair you are likely to be hunched over your screen, risking upper back tension and repetitive strain injury.  Now don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting a complete ergonomic assessment: I left my job to get away from the box-tickers!  It is possible to work in less-than-ideal conditions and survive, as long as we take some sensible steps and regular breaks.   

The other risk of internet working is a decline in your fitness, if you're not very careful.  It's easy to feel that time spent working out is time stolen from your business – try to change your mindset and see that this is a key part of your requirements.  You need to maintain your fitness routine for the sake of mind and body.  The work at home entrepreneur often spends hours each day without talking to another human being face to face. 

To deal with your posture and fitness needs, try to ensure you get out of the chair at least once an hour, and do a few stretches and shrugs to release tension in your neck and shoulders.  Stand with feet slightly apart and let you body relax downwards to touch your toes with the fingertips (or as far down as you can reach).  If you repeat this one regularly it's encouraging to see how much your flexibility can improve in a short time. 

It is a really good idea to leave your office once every three hours.  You can set an alarm to remind you, then go outside and walk for at least ten minutes.  If you have been hitting some blocks during the working day this is an ideal time for problem-solving: the fresh air will do wonders and help you think clearly.

Once a day, do some type of fitness work.  If you can get to a gym for a full workout, that's great and you will feel great afterwards.  If not, make sure you do something.  Here are a few exercises you can do anywhere:

- Stand up and place your hands on your knees and breathe out, pulling the abdominal muscles in strongly.  Hold for at least ten seconds, and breathe in.  Repeat ten times, build up gradually to at least 20 repetitions by the end of a fortnight. 

- Stand up and raise elbows level with your shoulders, and twist slowly as far as possible to your right.  Repeat the exercise to the left, do at least ten repetitions in each direction. 

- Stand up facing away from a solid table or chair, place palms on the surface with fingers pointing forwards.  Lower your body, keeping back straight and a slight tension in your abdominals. Come back up using the strength in your arms.  Repeat at least ten times. 

These are just a few ideas designed to take less than five minutes, and you will feel better for doing them.  It's also important to manage your time and allocate leisure breaks as well as time for socialising with friends and family.  If you are in the first year of setting up your business try to spend at least 30 minutes a day on something different – it is too easy to become blinkered, thinking and talking exclusively about the business.  Try to make this a habit, or you run the risk of bore everyone around you rigid!

One last idea, which may not be available to everyone, is to get a dog.  This is a great way to get away from the desk and keep active, and immensely rewarding.  If you can't have a dog of your own, see if anyone nearby needs a dog walker.  Now there's a home business idea .......

Summary:
Use this Golden Rule to maximise your Online Success.

Article Body:
Welcome one and all. Whether you're a seasoned campaigner or a new internet marketer, I trust you'll benefit from what I'm about to share with you.

Imagine being given the key to Aladdin's cave - yours to keep and do with as you please. Now imagine the possibilities. They're endless! Riches beyond your wildest dreams to live the ultimate lifestyle, being able to help loved ones, the community you live in - you decide. How good would this feel to be able to help others? Imagine waking up each morning knowing you'll never have a financial problem ever again ...

It's good to dream isn't it? Now, what if you could turn this dream into reality? Surely anything is possible if you truly desire changes to your current circumstances. I firmly believe this. Your mind is truly amazing and incredibly powerful. Isn't this one of the main reasons for starting (or wanting to start) your own business? To provide the fortune and lifestyle of choice. I say thank goodness for the internet and for the business known as "Internet Marketing". What other business allows you to work from virtually anywhere, anytime, with little start up costs and potentially huge returns? I'm not saying it's easy or that everyone can expect the same incredible results. What I mean is the internet offers the opportunity for success in ways a traditional business does not.

Like many of you reading this article, I too have tried many different business and investment ventures. To date my success has been mixed, yet I'm determined to succeed. And in the not too distant future I'm confident of being able to supercharge my online profits by creating a 24x7, 365 day per year cash machine. How you ask? Well quite simply, with step by step help from an "internet guru", a business mentor who has been there done that! More importantly this "guru" is still doing it today and willing to share his knowledge and experience with those eager to learn. So why would you (or me for that matter) spend most of your life working a dead end job or perhaps running a traditional business? Who needs long hours, high stress levels, and poor financial gains?

So imagine my excitement at finding this "business success mentor" who is there to help me (and others) every step of the way ... to achieving financial and lifestyle success. For me it's like having the key to Aladdin's cave. You too can benefit financially from knowing and applying the tips, tricks and techniques found at this fantastic website. Do you know the number one golden rule for online success? It's the foundation for business success. So whether you're an internet newbie, seasoned online professional or just looking for strategies to improve your online success, take action now to include this must have technique in your bag of online tricks ...

Simple isn't it? Yet I'm surprised how many websites I visit that don't even bother to apply this golden rule. Often, as research shows, it can take at least seven (7) communications with your prospects (or existing customers) before they buy from you. Sure, people buy on impulse but there are no guarantees with this method. It really is a hit and miss strategy. Think about it. Really, you've done all the necessary hard work - found the ideal product or service; created your website; you've managed to attract prospects to your website yet profits still seem to be down or non existant.

So how can you increase your strike rate and increase your profits? You want to sell your product(s) and/or service to more visitors - but how you ask?  Firstly, by applying Golden Rule #1. Then follow up prospects with structured communications at regular intervals (whilst not being too pushy), winning over their trust by providing valuable information, either by offering FREE ebooks, videos or ecourses. Failure to capture a visitor's email address is surely a recipe for disaster. A prospect / customer email address is your Aladdins Cave. It needs to be managed and nurtured so that it will grow and continue day after day to bring you treasures. Seriously, by not doing this you are giving away potential profits to your competition!

Take action now to ensure you apply Golden Rule #1 on your website. I know I will be. The mechanics of doing this is quite simple. Get the knowledge and the step by step how to do it, then you're in business. Then you're ready for Golden Rule #2.

Thankyou, good luck and here's to your success!

Michael however, has continued with further ideas to help the samll business or individual to promote their web sites on the net for FREE, and unlike many other similar services, Michael's programs really do work, and have turned many poorer businesses into profitable ones with no outlay what-so-ever.

Also, the methods are very simple. You post a text ad which is included onto a network of websites, they rotate at random, and gain a very high percentage of click-thrus, and there is no cost involved.

Because Michael owns a large and very popular network of web sites, they get thousands of visitors daily, and with the introduction of the h2u toolbar, which displays web sites on thousands of peoples desktops whilst they are surfing the internet, the click-thru ratio has increased a further 38.9%.

Blogging can be an Internet Marketer's best friend by allowing business to communicate directly with their clients.  But, did you know that blogging can also directly impact your Search Engine Optimization efforts?

Blogging and SEO - A perfect Small Business Internet Marketer Match

It has become pretty obvious that blogs have been become an important part of marketing for almost any type of online business.  They are unmatched resources when it comes to connecting with customers and potential customers.

But, there is an additional benefit that shouldn't be over-looked:  there impact on your Search Engine Optimization efforts.  Blogging can greatly enhance any websites natural search results through regular postings, and natural keyword placement. There in fact is no stronger way to market ones website for free than by blogging with natural keywords.

Similar to article marketing, posting daily blogs with the keywords of your business included can have remarkable effects on the ranking of your site in any given search engine, and thus net you more traffic. One key to gaining more traffic from keywords is to use 'niche' keywords. These are keywords or keyword phrases that may be searched for less often, but that have less competition. This means you may be able to rank much higher for these keyword. An example: The keyword term "baseball" is certainly searched for often, but there are millions of websites optimized around this keyword. However a keyword phrase like "Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz news" would have fewer competitors. The longer keyword also increases the likelihood that your blog contains exactly what the visitor is looking for.

Getting picked up in search engines can lead to increase volumes of traffic heading to your site every day. There are top keyword placers that use blogs to retain huge amounts of daily traffic to their sites just by integrating a variety of niche keywords into their posts. The amazing thing about blogs is they are often picked up by the search engines almost as quickly as one posts to it, which makes it an even more powerful tool for SEO purposes.  Our experience has been that blogs that take advantage of Google's Blogger or Wordpress are quickly indexed. 

Another way blogging can help your site's search engine ranking is by the quality score. Most search engines, including Google rank sites with a quality score, the more unique, user provided content, the higher it appears the quality score becomes. If a website is just a sales page, and a few pictures, the quality score will most likely be low. But if a site has a blog on it, with fresh, daily posts, the quality score becomes much better, and thus the site gets ranked much higher when people are searching for your niche, or keyword terms.

If you haven't considered a blog for the pure marketing aspect of it, it's probably time you considered it from the SEO perspective.  You've got nothing to loss but website visitors.

Article Body:
Article marketing has become a huge trend in Internet marketing today. Many marketers are using articles as their primary, and even sole, form of traffic generation and search engine optimization. However some marketers lament that article marketing doesn't seem to work for them, especially as their article submissions are often rejected.
I own and maintain three article directories. One is a general directory and two are niche directories. Every day I receive hundreds of article submissions and every day I reject dozens. When I first started I would carefully include a specific reason for each rejection but now submissions are so high it is all I can do to keep my head above water. Frankly, I feel it is more important to try to turn articles around in as timely a fashion as possible so I am all about speed now (and am still weeks behind with my general directory).
However I can share these tips in an open letter to article marketers who do not understand why their articles are rejected by my directories -- and likely other article directories as well.
The primary reasons articles are rejected by me include:
Reason 1: Active links in the body of the article. The only place I want to see an active link is the author resource box. This is fairly standard with most article directories.
Reason 2: The article does not belong in this directory. Usually this is true of a large percentage of my niche directory rejections. If the directory is about Internet promotion don't submit your articles about breast augmentation!
Reason 3: The article was not submitted to the right category. If I'm in a nice mood or I'm really interested in the article then I might recategorize it. If I recognize an author who regularly delivers quality content I might recategorize it. If it is in the right broad category I might move it to a more specific subcategory. However if it was submitted with no apparent thought or effort then I will most likely reject it. If the author can't be bothered to select the right category then why should I take the time?
Reason 4: Substandard English. If there are typos or poor grammar in the headline or summary then I am not impressed and will most likely reject the submission.
Reason 5: Subject spamming. If I receive a number of articles on the same subject and by the same author with similar titles and summaries then I will suspect article spamming. Rather than sort out which articles might offer quality unique content I simply reject them all.
Reason 6: Obscure topics. If I don't think that your article about New Jersey Divorce Lawyers will really add anything to my directory then I might just choose to reject it. Similarly if I can't tell what your article is about from the title, summary, or first paragraphs then I'm not going to read any further.
Reason 7: Blatant advertising. These are article directories so I don't want press releases or straight advertisements. Articles should include information about something other than whatever business you are trying to promote.
The simple fact is that these are my directories so I use my own editorial judgment about the appropriate content. I use the feeds and articles from my directories on my web sites and in my blogs, and my bottom line is that the article should offer interesting and/or appealing information to the target audience. If it isn't an article I want to see on my site then I choose to reject it.

Promoting your small business on the internet is crucial in today's world. The entrepreneur who ignores this gold mine of potential opportunity does so at his or her own peril. There is too much to be gained through marketing on the internet, and little to be lost. If you company is internet based to begin with, this is a no-brainer, of course. But things are rapidly changing on the Web, and those marketing strategies that worked a few years ago may not work as well today. Here are a few things you can do to expose your business to potential new customers that work today, but may not in a few years.

SEO. Search engine optimization. For the internet entrepreneur who wants their website to be a success, this is the first step toward ensuring that success. Unless you have unlimited funds with which to advertise your product, this is a step you cannot afford to skip. Optimizing your website is the equivalent of building your brick-and-mortar store in a major shopping district as opposed to halfway down a dirt road with an old rusty sign pointing in the other direction. Its importance cannot be overstated. There are many facets to SEO, and not enough room in this article to get into them. Fortunately, few topics have been as exhaustively written about. Do a Google search of your own, and you will find plenty to read.

Pay Per Click. This is another fine way to get your internet business off and running. This service is offered by Google, Yahoo!, and MSN, to name a few. With Google AdWords, you're going to have the most potential traffic, but you may also have the most competition for the best keywords. What does this mean? Well, AdWords (and the others) work by letting you create an advertisement (usually a headline and a couple of sentences). You then must choose the keywords that will activate your ad. Then you place a bid on how much you're willing to pay per click of your ad, depending on each keyword. It all sounds a lot more confusing than it is. The benefit of this type of advertising (as opposed to, say, banner advertising), is you only pay when you have been ensured of a visitor. Of course, what you do with that visitor is up to you and your own marketing skills.

Articles and inbound links. Next to SEO, this is the most powerful section of strategy for the up and coming internet business owner. In order to move up in the search engine rankings, you must have incoming links (backlinks, as they're called in the SEO world). When the search engines see a website with a lot of natural inbound links, they begin to see the website as an authority on whatever subject the site is about. Thus, the site's ranking begins to improve. There are many ways to go about getting backlinks, but one of the best ways is through writing articles. There are article "farms" on the internet, which host your articles for free and then sell them or give them away to other website owners, who are hungry for content. This benefits you because at the end of the article you will have included your name and a link to your website. Every time someone grabs your article to put on their website, you get another important link.

There are a million successful strategies for marketing on the internet, but these are the three building blocks. Go and research them, and your business will be the better for it.

Thus, you do not have to worry about gas, traffic, parking, accommodations and if your children are 5 year old and over you may not even need a baby sitter. You do not even need to get dressed and made up to attend an online event.

2. Time - Another benefit of having an online event is the TIME FACTOR. It is great that people do not have to worry about being at a certain location at a certain time since the event is online. As long as they have a computer and Internet connection, and that they are able to connect during the times that the event is on, then, they are all set.

3. Technology - With today's technology, attending online events can be as inter-active as attending physical conferences or expos. People are able to network via chat rooms. They can network using text chat or even voice chat. People can make a connection with others and possibly even joint venture on projects. They can exchange personal and business information in a flash.

4. Cost - Online events do not cost as much as physical events. This is great for the online event host and for the participants as well. Hosting an online event can yield similar results to hosting a physical event with out the extra cost and work.

5. Fun - Online events can be lot of fun. Some of the things that can make an online event successful and memorable are contests, giveaways, networking opportunities, audios and presentations.

Like any other event, whether online or offline, one thing to remember is that promotion is the key to getting lots of traffic and participants for your online event.
