Getting the Most From Advertising

Aloha and Happy New Year!

It has been a month since I have blogged. I am so sorry! My computer got sick and had to go home to get fixed under warranty and now it is back and I am back online.
--> Making money from home is so much better than punching a time clock! I miss my online time, because I truly love to write and my blog enables me to earn money from home doing something I love.

Make sure if you are starting out online that you educate yourself on advertising and how it works. There are so many ways that you can advertise online. If you are anything like me, I like to just jump in and start. I am not good at reading tutorials, blogs, start here. This puts me at a great disadvantage for advertising because I would be making much more income online if I took the time to actually read how each different type of advertising works!

One of the most common methods of advertising is PPC. PPC is paid per to click. Usually you pay from one cent to nine cents to encourage somebody to click on your ad and go to your website. That is very low end cost for advertising. You can of course, pay more out for pay per click. It really depends on your advertising budget.

If you are working a full time job and are working online part time, it is especially important that you maximize your online time with a plan. What is the first thing you do when you boot up your computer? Email right? Social networking? That does eat up a lot of time and before you know it you still need to place your advertising! How about using a service that submits to all your social sites for you, so you only have to place your link one time? This is a real time saver and actually populates the Internet with your links to your site and your products!
Check it out and let me know what you think. There are a lot of social networking sites now, but some people are offended if all you do is post your links, you want your online brand to be good, honest and trustworthy. You do not want to become known as a spammer! However, this is a great way to post your ad to many sites with a click of your mouse!

There are many free online advertising sites. Some you need to register an account with, really I have found with most. If you place 3-5 ads a day, every day at different sites your site will start to get seen. This is just repeating the same work on a daily basis, which is just a commitment on your part to be successful with your online product or your affiliate program.

Don't give up! Earning from home is possible and more and more people are turning to the Internet as a way to earn extra money or to obtain the lifestyle they dream of. Never lose site of your dreams! You CAN do it!

Be Recession Proof by Working From Home!

Aloha and Happy Holidays,

I come from the Mainland, where it would actually be cold enough to have snow on the mountain, and even on the beach back in 1976! No, I will not tell you my age! We would go to the mountains and cut our own tree. It was so much fun! Here, Island Style, it is Mele Kelikimaka and Santa is on a surfboard! Over the years I have lived here I have gotten used to it and it actually does feel Christmasy with 75 degree weather. The trees have to be shipped in and one year a week before Christmas, they ran out of trees, and those who had them left were charging up to $150 per tree! That was about 5 years ago, so that may be normal now, as far as pricing goes!

The economy and having money to spend at this season leaves a lot to be desired. You can no longer count on showing up to work everyday on time and do a good job for job security. As you know, many Companies that were always American icons, have closed down. People don't have jobs. The Unemployment rate is up and that is a known fact as many of the unemployed ran out of unemployment and are now on Welfare. There is no middle class. I don't understand what middle class is! You either have or you are struggling financially. -->

More and more Americans are turning to the Internet to make an Income, either part time or full time from home. For that extra $500 per month to supplement your income to full time workers who have more than one income stream. If one stream dries up, you still have income streams that are making money for you.

What are you good at? Can you write? Can you type? Can you copy and paste? What do you enjoy doing? Maybe you have an existing business offline that you would like to bring online to create more exposure and more income! The possibilities of making money from home are limitless! 


What are the advantages of earning extra income from home? You are your own boss. You set your hours. Many Moms that stay at home are turning to the Internet to make extra cash and be home with the children. When you are researching what you what to do online, check for online scams. Simply enter into Google Search Box "online scams." Also check with the Better Business Bureau. Do you know anybody that is making a decent living working from home online? Ask for some body's advice that is already doing it and succeeding. Don't get into anything you can not afford. Just as an offline business, an online business, needs a budget. You need to advertise. You can do this for free, but it will definitely take you longer. If you can buy in at a higher level to an affiliate program that you know is not  a get rich quick scheme, that would be much faster than free! 

It is do able to earn from home and to actually reach the lifestyle that you want for yourself and for your family. Have the mindset of a millionaire and get to work! The most important thing is, don't give up after six months and you are not making six figures yet! As in all things in life worth while, it takes time, and learning from your mistakes!

Feel free to contact me if you would like some help in getting started! 

Get Paid to Blog!

Aloha!

It is that time of the year again, the Holiday Season! I love the lights, the feeling of goodwill, the spirit of giving rather than receiving!

I love to blog and write articles online. I have always loved writing and never thought that I could actually get paid for writing, and actually earn some extra Christmas Cash!

There are many sites that you can use to write a blog. Start with Google. Here it is very easy to set up a blogging account. Go to your Google account, sign in, and look at the toolbar directly above your screen.

If you do not have a Google Account, it is very easy to get one. Just put "Google" into your search box and hit the search button. (Usually looks like a little magnifying glass!) Or just hit the enter key on your computer. Fill out the requested information follow the instructions on your screen that  guide you. You can have as many email accounts as you like at Gmail.

You can use one just for your blogging and article writing. Make sure you white list the email you will receive from Google Blogger, and any article writing sites you submit to.

What do you consider yourself to be an "expert" at? You want your blogs to be from 200 to 600 words in length and be full of keywords that will drive traffic to your blog. You can use the Google Keyword Tool for this. Because everything is tied together at Google, you can also sign up for a Google Ad Words account to advertise and Google Ad Sense, which will monetize your blog.

The Graveyard

Wow! Time flys when you are having fun.....I am working a 12 hour graveyard shift here at the E.R. and we had one blast of business and so far, and it is now 2:20 am, so good. Nothing too bad for any of our patients! It is just so weird because I am used to getting up at 4:30 am in the morning and now I will be going home to sleep at 6:00 am. I am grateful for the hours, the money is better at night and leaves me the days to work my home biz, Alohaladycards.

Last time I wrote alot about my animals and their care. This time I would like to talk about marketing. You would think after 8 years I would be rich already, right? Don't I get my downline built for free, get to join for free and do no work, no phone calls, no advertising? Aren't you going to do it for me?

Come on! Were we born with SUCKER tattooed on our fore heads? If it sounds too good to be true it is! Don't waste your time or your hard earned cash. YOU can succeed, no I am not rich yet, but I believe and envision myself at the end of this year, sitting in my hot tub on the back deck of our home. I have a plan to succeed and a vision of what that success will bring me! If you are new to marketing, please don't "program hop!" That's when if you don't make $5000 per week in your first month you move on to the next program. You also have to keep in mind, you need a product, something that people need and use. That product could be education. Many online opportunities offer education for newcomers. I personally like Empowerism where I have been a member since 2004. I still learn new things there. You can make some good money, but to be honest, it is hard to recruit for this program. That is because nobody wants to work, they want the quick fix, the instant money! But it is a good solid program that is celebrating 10 years last month! Congratulations to Janet Wilson and the Empowerism team, and us, the members!

It also doesn't take a rocket scientist to make money from cards. The greeting card industry is a billion dollar a year industry! Why go to the store look through tons of cards to find the right one, and you are probably, like me, looking for a belated card, having just remembered a special event or occassion for somebody you love! Now, quick, write that message, address it, hope you have stamps, put one on, and get it to the Post Office to mail. Usually this is done after work.

Or, you can receive an email notification 10 days prior to any special occassion or event, go to your site, choose from over 8000 online, high quality, real greeting cards, not e-cards, type out your message in your own handwriting, make your own card with your own pictures or pick one of the company's, you can just put a snapshot your loved one will enjoy on the inside of the card and click the SEND button. Done, pau, all over! Our company will cut the card, put it in an envelope, address it for you and put on the postage, then mail it! How cool is that? You can go to my site and just click on Send A Card button in the middle of my banner at the top of the page. Yes, I know, I have a wonderful tan from living here in paradise! There is an audio tape that will show you exactly how to use the system! I am going to receive a notification that you just opened a gift account, because I a going to pay for your first two cards, and I can then call you and answer your questions or do a gift account walk through, if you don't want to use the audio guide.

Three a.m. now and I need to get up and move around before my head hits the desk! One more thing about marketing, is, whatever opps you belong too, or traffic exchange or any site where you have built a downline, these people are your contacts, prospects and business partners! It is always a good idea to keep a word pad document with names and addresses all your contacts. Keep in touch and build a relationship with these people. You may leave the opportunity or business but you don't have to leave behind your contacts! Keep in touch, keep in touch, keep in touch!

Okay that's it, enough already.
