http://www.WorkAtHomeForDummies.com

Because there are so many “claims” on the internet that this certain online business opportunity or that internet home business will make you your long awaited fortune, I often seek to provide my readers with proof that there really are legitimate business opportunities online in which real money can be made. Read the post on this blog from February 4th of this year and watch the video posted of a guy who started from scratch and in 7 months has made a legitimate online business opportunity an income producer for him and his family.

Right here I want to show you more as well. The check pictured below is a scanned copy of a real check earn by a guy who used to be a struggling restaurant worker. Click on it to view a larger clear version of it. As you can see, he has built a nice online income for himself that has come from persistence, patience, and yes, WORK. Real opportunities that offer a real chance to make real money do require some work to varying degrees. Turn and run from the ones that promise a huge payday with little or NO WORK.

If you are not using TrafficSwarm as one of the ways you generate more traffic to your website you are missing out on a lot of good traffic. There are people out there that promote their online business exclusively with TrafficSwarm and are making a full-time income working from home doing so.

I’ve mentioned this before and I will say it again, if you ever have a question about a particular business opportunity you are looking into as to it’s legitimacy or ability to make you a lifetime income, please write me and ask. I will happy to help you.

How To Protect Your Identity And Your Online Home Business
http://www.ChooseHomeWork.com
http://www.WorkAtHomeForDummies.com

Starting a home-based internet business is the dream of many would-be entrpreneurs across the globe. Every single day countless numbers of these people are turning their dream into a reality. The more you put yourself out there on the internet in many aspect, the issue of identity theft is a growing concern.

Operating an online business requires many hours on your computer doing the things necessary to build your business. As a result you can sometimes open yourself up to privacy issues. Here are 11 of the best ways you can lower your risk of becoming a victim of identity theft. At the end of this article, step number 11 is fast becoming THE preferred way for people to secure the themselves.

An identity thief takes your personal information and uses it without your knowledge. The thief may run up debts or even commit crimes in your name. Take these steps to help insure yourself against this crime of our times.

Number One: Protect your Social Security Number

If you do, stop carrying your Social Security Card in your wallet. If a company you do business with wants to use your SS# as your account number or id number, ask them to use another number. Protecting your Social Security number is the key to controlling identity theft.

Number 2: Don’t let your identity get trashed

Own a paper/document shredder as part of your business. Shred or tear up papers with your personal information on them before you throw them away. Shred credit card offers and other mail you receive that might have your personal private information on them.

Number 3: Use caution when clicking around the Internet

Before entering credit card or other personal information on any web site(especially if you are new to it), read their privacy policy. See what your options are to opt out of sharing your information. IF there is no privacy policy posted, BEWARE!. Do business somewhere else. When you do enter personal information, enter it on secure web pages with “https” in the address bar and a padlock symbol at the bottom of your browser. These signs indicate protection from hackers.

Number 4: Beware of “Phishing”!

Scam artists disguise themselves as legitimate businesses that you do business with everyday like your bank, stores, eBay, Paypal, government agencies and such. Tactics include phone calls, emails, regular mail, and others asking you to verify personal information like account numbers and passwords. Don’t respond unless you initiated the contact with that company by calling them. If they called you, ask them if you can call them back. Additionally, legitimate companies do not ask for this sort of information in these ways.

Number 5: Keep control of your personal financial information

Limit wheenver you can, the sharing of your information between companies and/or their affiliates.

Number 6: Opt-out of pre-approved credit card offers

Many pre-approved credit card offers are simply ploys to make your information an easy target to gather.

Number 7: Check your bills and statements

Open your bills and statements. Reconcile right away and look carefully for any unauthorized charges or withdrawals. If you miss receiving these in the mail one month, call to find out why in case anyone stole them from your mailbox or have changed your contact information.

Number 8: Protect your computer

Computer viruses and spyware can compromise your privacy. Use the appropriate security software. Make your passwords difficult for others to guess. DO NOT click on links in spam email.

Number 9: Make a regular check of your credit report

This is one of the best ways to protect yourself. Monitor your credit history. You can get a FREE credit report every year from each of the three national credit bureaus.

Number 10: Ask Questions

Whenever information is requested from you that seems inappropriate for the transaction you are making, ask why. Ask how the information is going to be used and if it will be shared. Move on if you feel the answers are unsatisfactory.

Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. It’s makes sense to take steps to protect yourself when you are an online business owner spending so much time on the internet.

Number 11: Use Lifelock

A great way to protect your good name and your identity from being stolen is with a company called Lifelock. As part of their service to protect your identity from being stolen, they offer a One Million Dollar Service Guarantee. Quite simply, using Lifelock is absolutely the best way to protect yourself from identity theft BEFORE it happens.

Get all the details at http://www.lifelock.com .

If you decide to take this important step toward protecting your identity and good name, here’s how you can save a little money on Lifelock’s already low service pricing. At the appropriate point when prompted for a “PROMO CODE”, enter the promo code LOCKSAFE. By entering “locksafe”, you’ll receive a 10% service discount from Lifelock that I have negotiated for all my readers.

Identity theft can happen to anyone, anytime and anywhere. It can happen online or offline. Simple logical steps like those listed above can protect your good name. It’s simply important to properly protect your reputation and the reputation of your business online and off.

To Your Success,

Todd

10 “Secrets” To Maximize Results For Your Home Business Ad Copy
http://www.ChooseHomeWork.com
http://www.WorkAtHomeForDummies.com

1. Use a hand written letter on your ad copy instead
of typed text. Write your home businesssales letter on a
piece of paper, scan it and publish it on your web page.
Adding this personal touch will always increase your sales.

2. Publish a list of famous and respected customers
who have done business with you. People will think that
if these people do business with you, they can also trust
your online business and purchase your products. It’s prudent
to get their permission of those customer ahead of time.

3. Show before and after pictures of the results from using
your products when appropriate. Show the problem(or before)
picture and then beside it, show the picture of the resolution
to the problem when they use your product.

4. Post an article or business review that has been written
about you or your business in your ad copy. This will show
potential customers that your online business is respected and
will increase your credibility.

5. Offer free bonuses in your ad copy, and make sure that you
list the dollar value associated with each bonus. This will help
new customers know they’re getting a good deal and it will increase
the value of your product.

6. When affordable and prudent, hire a famous person to endorse
your home business product or service. This person should be well
known to your business’ target audience. Include their picture and
quotes about your business on your ad copy.

7. It’s always a good idea to include your own picture in your ad
copy. This shows potential customers that you don’t “hide” behind
your ad copy thereby increasing their trust in your and your
business. Also, include your contact information with your picture
and a brief statement or quote. People trust online businesses
more that have a real physical address and a phone number.

8. Tell people in your ad copy that you will donate a percentage
of their purchase price to specific charity. This shows them a
real side of you and how you care about your community and world.
They can do their part too by simply buying your product as a
way to donate to the charity.

9. Ask potential customers lots of yes and no questions in your
ad copy. The questions should remind them of the “problem” they
may be trying to solve with your product or service and
consequently make them think about what will happen if they
don’t purchase from you.

10. Tell the readers of your ad that they will receive a free
prize if they can find the five words in your ad that are
misspelled or spelled backwards. This is a fun and effective
way to keep them reading your ad longer increasing the chance
of them purchasing from you.

Quote of the Day:

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good
therefore that I can do, or any kindness or ablities that I
can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me
not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way
again.” — William Penn

Work At Home For Dummies – Here To Help You In Your Online Business
http://www.ChooseHomeWork.com
http://www.WorkAtHomeForDummies.com

It is the goal and purpose of the Work At Home For Dummies business blog to help any and all comers to higher success in their online business ventures. I am always looking to share my experiences and what has succeeded for me as well as for others in order to help those who read here to reach their goals for their home based business.

Actually making money in your home based online business, I know, is everyone’s ultimate goal. That is one of the reasons why I have started to share some different examples of proof from those making money online from their home business. Keep watching for more evidence of those making money online to come.

So in the continuing effort of the Work At Home For Dummies business blog to find ways to help you make more money in your home business, I am featuring an article today from David Pineda. He wrote a review of a business book that many online network marketers or multi-level marketing business owners have used successfully to grow their online MLM business.

Today’s feature article:

In his book, “Magnetic Sponsoring,” Mike Dillard teaches you, the network marketer, how to apply the proper marketing strategies that will turn you into a magnetic sponsor.

Though the “Magnetic Sponsoring” book only prints out 49 pages of content, it does not teach network marketers how to promote their business step by step. It is a guide, not an exact step by step road map. I can compare the Magnetic Sponsoring book to a conversation Neo and Morpheus had concerning a woman known as “The Oracle” in “The Matrix” the movie 1999.

The dialog went like this:

“Neo: So is this the same Oracle that made the prophecy?

Morpheus: Yes. She’s very old. She’s been with us since the beginning.

Neo: The beginning?

Morpheus: Of the resistance.

Neo: And she knows what, everything?

Morpheus: She would say she knows enough.

Neo: And she’s never wrong.

Morpheus: Try not to think of it in terms of right and wrong. She is a guide, Neo. She can help you to find the path.

Neo: She helped you?

Morpheus: Yes.

Neo: What did she tell you?

Morpheus: That I would find the One. I told you I can only show you the door. You have to walk through it.”

In a book like this, the information has to be generic and serve as a guide designed to help the network marketer to become a magnetic sponsor, but he/she has to “walk through the door” and apply the information contained therein.

Mike Dillard, once a surgeon recruiter for many hospitals quit his job and became a table waiter in order to pursue his career in network marketing. After discovering the proper use of positioning, and “sellucation” his term for the art of self-selling through education, sponsored 35 personal reps. and grew his organization to over 500 within just months and averaged over $500,000 dollars per year in volume sales.

Today he spends his time and efforts teaching network marketers the proper strategies of marketing and magnetic sponsoring, as well as serving as a marketing consultant to industry leaders.

In “Magnetic Sponsoring,” I found out that the strategy of the ABC business model is the most valuable a networker can learn. Mike doesn’t just tell you what Part A, Part B, or Part C is. He teaches you how to apply that principle in your MLM business,network marketing business, internet marketing business, or what ever you want to call it in order to keep your business running, and to make sure there is constant cash flow, and growth.

This book truly brings a fresh, high energy, revolutionary, and an effective approach to network marketing. “Sellucation” is intertwined through out the entire course. Educating prospects and applying the franchise business model is essential for network marketers to become magnetic sponsors.

Though it took me some time to fully understand how to apply magnetic sponsoring marketing techniques into my business, I feel that even people with little or no experience in MLM business, network marketing business, or internet marketing business,should have no problems applying the proper marketing strategies found within the book after reading it a few times.

In his newsletter, Mike guarantees that in just ten days, he can turn you into a MLM lead & cash generating wiz! I have to confess that at first, I did not really believe that; I thought he was just another guy creating a lot of hype to make a quick buck. After reading his “Magnetic Sponsoring” book however, I really see that he can actually back up his claim.

One thing I felt Mike could have done to make his book even better, was maybe expanding on the section about franchising a network marketing business with more specific, detailed explanations and/or illustrations as to how exactly this strategy should be applied so that the reader learns to apply this technique a lot faster, and effectively to his/her MLM business, network marketing business, or internet marketing business. But then again, the information is very generic and it applies to any business. As long as is read carefully a few times, there souldn’t be any problem applying those strategies.

Based on the claims that Mike makes in his free 10-day boot camp training, and in his “Magnetic Sponsoring” book, I could not think of any questions left unanswered, or any unfulfilled promises.

If you are in MLM business, network marketing business, or internet marketing business, you know that the life blood of any business are leads to generate prospects. In order to accomplish that you have to advertise and/or buy leads. If you are running your business on a shoe string budget, and want to generate prospects, generate cash to fund your advertising, and do NOT want to spend yourself out of business buying expensive leads, then my highest recommendation is this:

On a five star rating, one being the worst and five being the best, I give the “Magnetic Sponsoring” book a four star rating.

Though Mike Dillard has already produced a follow up ebook with 13 special reports on magnetic sponsoring that he gives as a bonus for acquiring the book, I hope he produces yet another more thorough breakdown of proper network marketing techniques book that teaches how to become extremely magnetic in network marketing.

A Home Based Online Business – The Cost Of Doing Business
http://www.ChooseHomeWork.com
http://www.WorkAtHomeForDummies.com

It amazes me sometimes when I consider the number of people who desire to start a home based online business and are yet so resistant to the fact that there may be some upfront costs to doing business.

Consider this…Anytime a person buys a franchise for instance. Let’s say it’s a McDonald’s. One has to know that in this case there is a lot of upfront costs. There are the franchise fees, equipment costs, employee expenses and a lot more of an ongoing nature. Of course, there is the cost of marketing and advertising that must be done to draw in business and to grow the business. It’s the same for companies that are expanding by opening new locations and such. It’s no different for a small mom & pop type business and certainly a home based online business as well. These upfront expenses are inherent to every new business whether it is offline or online.

Like any other type of business, a home based online business shouldn’t jump on any and every advertising or marketing idea that comes along. No matter how great a marketing company might say there advertising solution may be. They may say it’s the best option out there and if you’ll just do this you can sit back and watch the money roll in. Don’t fall prey to such claims. Surely, there are solutions out there, but a home based online business owner must use the same discretion as his offline colleagues. Seek out and go for the most exposure at the most economical cost. Knowing also, that marketing or advertising can often take some time to reap a return.

Free advertising is the desire of every business whether the business is offline or online. And Businesses should seek out and take advantage of as many good free advertising opportunities as they can get their hands on. A good number of which I will direct you to in this article.

As a home based online business owner, you must know and understand that in order to grow your business, it will take some cash outlay in some form. Expect it. Know it. Believe it will. Then use your business acumen or draw on that of others to market effectively. Especially from those who have a vested interest in seeing you succeed like your upline in a Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing business. Business success groups, colleagues, partners, and other business people in general can be a source for you as well.

As for the free marketing and advertising avenue, click here to go to a special report written by a friend of mine Doug Gorman. Doug’s report on 150 free tools for your online business is a great resource to research and implement a number of free marketing ideas for your home based online home business. In fact, they are most specifically geared toward you the internet home business owner. Research and choose a method or two or three.

Just stop with the “I’m not going to spend a penny and this thing better work” attitude. If you do, you are immediately setting yourself up for frustration and failure when you decide it’s taking to long to get profitable. It’s going to cost something. Just be smart with your marketing dollars and let your business grow to the point where you reach break even and into that wonderful area of PROFIT!

To Your Success,
