I'd like to share with you my good friend Jeff Schum's valuable Article
--------
Generally people who are reading home business Internet articles like this fall into three categories. In this article let's talk about who you are amd what will happen to you after you are done reading this article.
1. You are new to the Internet and are thinking about starting a home business. This is not surprising with the financial troubles many people are in.
As a matter of fact it is predicted that the millions of people in the United States who lost their job will never get that job back. The answer is to go into a completely new career, or find some way to make money by starting your own business.
The Internet is an attractive option if you can figure out how to do it. It is possible to sit at home and make money online and pay your bills or even change your life.
2. You are already in a home business and are not making any money. This applies to millions of people all over the world.
Because it's so easy to start a business online many people do that every day. The hard part is turning your business into a profitable venture.
It's getting more competitive on the Internet every day. To compete you must learn Internet marketing skills and most people have problems doing that.
3. You have a successful home business and are looking for content for a blog. You might even be looking for ideas to branch out and start another home business.
Article directories and blogs are a great source of information and home business opportunities are no different. As a matter of fact some of the most visited websites in the world are article directories.
If you are brand new I recommend you take some time and research various opportunities. You may want to go specifically to a forum such as The Warrior Forum where and see waht other people are doing to make money.
You also might want to make searching online easier by downloading Search Automator Force. This is a great way to research things in multiple search engines, multiple article directories, online videos and so on.
If you are struggling to get your business going you should be hooking up with some training. You may even want to consider joining a membership site where you can get personal attention.
You have to weigh the cost of this versus the amount of money you are losing by not moving your business forward.
Only you can decide what you are going to do next after you finish reading this article. The best advice I can offer you is take small steps. The most successful home business owners are people who did things one step at a time and always worked at moving their business forward.

Basic Website Optimisation
Enjoy this article from my good Friend Brye.
-------------------
.. It’s far better to have people finding you than for you to go looking! What do I mean by this? People are already searching by specific terms, (keywords). Your job is simply to position yourself (offer/website/squeeze page…) between the keyword typed in and the (SERPs) search engine results pages on the big 3! Google, Bing, Yahoo! … so when your keyword/phrase is entered the searcher arrives at the search page containing the link, You.com
To achieve this make your site as search engine friendly as possible...
Before optimising, spend some time researching to find the best keywords that describe your site or webpage (be specific for your offer don’t say shrub if you mean rose!)... You want your traffic to be as targeted as possible.
However, trying to get a good search position (Page 1-3) for a highly competitive keyword (such as make money online!) will be a complete waste of your time.... go for keywords in longer phrases, (so called long tailed).
Use of the Google keyword tool or other keyword research tools such as Market Samurai or Keyword Elite to look for great keywords/search terms that have a good global monthly search volume (I generally like around 10.000) but not too much competition ( in search results) this is a bit of an art, but well worth the time invested.
Ok, you have the keyword/s/phrases that best describe your offer and they meet the basic criteria as described. Next you will want to make it as easy as possible for the search engine spiders (programs that crawl the web collecting information to add to a search engine's index) to find you, and so index you (add you to the relevant SERPs) so you can be found by keyword search.
To do this simply look at the task from a spider point of view… give them as much information as possible, in a format they can read and understand… in its most simple form, this is the basis of SEO (search engine optimisation).
Website Optimisation
Put Your Main Keyword/s In The Title Tag.
A tag is simply a snippet of HTML code in the head section of a web page. The title tag describes your website - The text will be displayed in the blue bar at the very top of the browser window, also typically Google display the title tag as your title in the search results, making it perhaps the most important of the tags, do this for every page. Your Keyword title| Home Your Keyword title| About etc…
Put Your Main Keyword/s In The H1 Tag.
Have your keywords occur early in the tags. H tags are heading tags, used as main headings on pages for human readers as well as spiders and often used by search engines when determining ranking. (Basic Website Optimisation… as above, for example is an H1tag). The highest level and therefore most important heading is the H1tag, then H2, down to H6 being sub headings. You can use one or two H1 tags on a page; Website Optimisation (above) for example is another H1tag.
Put Your Main Keyword In The URL.
If possible have your keyword/phrase here...http//keywordindomain.com.
Have Your Keyword/s In The Page Content.
Your keywords and keyword phrases must appear in the page text to demonstrate your content is relevant and related to the tags. Search engines love relevancy, and will reward you - also keep your content fresh, updated and unique! Use keywords in the beginning of the document and aim for a keyword density of 3- 7% for main keywords and perhaps 1- 2% for the lesser ones. Check your site or pages online, Search, free keyword density tool.
Have Your Main Keyword/s As Anchor Text.
An anchor text is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink that takes you from one page to another page or website. The URL is contained and actionable, but not seen. Most valued are anchor text from inbound links, i.e. links from other websites to your website using your main keyword/s. For example if I have a link to this page from a blog comment say, and that link is Website Optimisation, that is an anchor text and will be a viewed by spiders as a significant vote for the relevance of my page in relation to its main keyword/s… Search engines reward relevance!
Use Alt Tags For Images.
Spiders can’t read images and so don't attribute any benefits to you for using them, however, they do read their textual descriptions in the Alt tags, so if you have images on your pages, use the tag to add keywords as a description.
Meta Description Tag.
Use the meta tag to write the account of your site you want displayed under your title tag heading in the SERPs (search engine results pages). The keywords used in this description are less important in terms of page ranking, but are still useful in your overall website optimisation campaign as they form part of the site description and therefore form a visual trigger for the searcher. Think of this tag as an advert or call to action, much as with PPC (the paid for listing above and to the right in SERPs).
Meta Keyword Tag.
As with the Meta description tag, meta tags are counting less with Google, but are still important enough to include in your website optimisation as the keyword tag tells the search engines which keywords or phrases you’ve targeted - for that specific site or page. List only the keywords from the specific page. Get them from your title, meta description, headings and your first paragraph of content, in that order.
Have A Site Map.
A Sitemap as the name implies, is simply a map of the internal links/ pages that make up your website. Site maps are an important form of communication with search engines spiders and should not be ignored. If you are using a blogging platform there are site map plugins that are easily installed or you can download a free site map generator form Google.
This then is the basics of Website Optimisation. It's a broad subject, but I hope this article make it just a little more clear...
Have great success. Brye.

Here is a low Cost Lead Generation Strategy
I like to share with You my good fellow 'theresa jordan's article Enjoy
---------------------------------------------
Internet Marketing can easily have you frustrated. Many people do not know what Internet marketing Strategies to start off with. It makes you feel like you are bouncing all over the place because you don’t know what to do and how to start. I was so frustrated and it was my first time that I had ever tried internet marketing. One of the problems is that many people try to juggle too many things at one time. I know because that was me in the beginning. I was so eager to jump in, that I was not mastering anything before I added on more. I did not get very far. I was saying that Network Marketing does not work but the real problem was me. The method that has been successful for me was to conquer one thing at at time, put it on autopilot and move on to the next thing. That is the best Marketing Strategy you can implement.
What you will need is a web site, blog, funded proposal, or lead capture page. Your company replicated site will not do. With your own site you will be able to build a list and be able to generate your own leads. It is a good idea to use a lead capture page with your website. To be an effectice internet marketer, it will be very smart to use an attraction marketing system. I use one and I have enough money to fund my Internet Marketing and I am Branding myself at the same time. These are some basic Internet Marketing Strategies.
If you are on a low budget when you start, here is a marketing strategy that will help you generate 100 leads in a month. List Builders is very low cost effective and the easiest way to generate leads. Here are the 3 that give the best results:
1. Virual URL
2. List Joe
3. List Bandit
All three are free to join and you can get more out List Builder if you take the upgrade. You pay $197 for one year and you can email 3,000 members every three days. You have to opportunity to get 30,000 to look at your lead capturne page, your funded proposal, your websites or even your blog. That is a conversation rate of just a couple cents per lead. This is good for any one that is new to Internet Marketing. From testing, it has been determined that Virual URL will give you the best conversation rates. If you only want to try to upgrade one, I suggest you upgrade Virual URL and do the free versions for List Joe and List Bandit. With the free version, you get credits for receiving and reading emails that you can use for your emails. You will receive a lot of emails from other members and you can just set up a seperate email for this account. The secret is to read through the emails that are sent to you and if you find one that you would open yourself; then you need to copyright it and make into your own. They also also affiliate commission but that is just a bonus; your real value comes from being able to email 30,000 people per month. You can make $95 commission on everyone who upgrades. Its a bonus because if 2 people sign up under you, the system would be free for you to use.
