Internet Business Find: Overnight Prints 2008-02-27 12:08:00 Overnight Prints Originally uploaded by life_changes Overnight Prints is an online printing service that I recommend to any business owner interested in professional business cards in a hurry.I know that a lot of people use Vista Print for their printing services because they offer free business cards. I have ordered many of the free items from Vista Print including note cards, refrigerator magnets and business cards. Over the years I have evolved my use of business cards to where I have them printed with a small biz blurb on the back so that my business cards double as a mobile advertisement. Double sided business cards can become quite costly, and you know my mission is to find free tools and resources for working from home. What I did find was an online printing service called Overnight Prints that offers printing services at a reasonable cost. The kicker – you really do get your order overnight! I have to say that I love this site because I can get 1,000 glossy double s ...

Internet Business Find: Spring Widgets 2008-02-06 22:53:00 spring widgets screenshot Originally uploaded by life_changes The significance of widgets is HUGE for anyone with an internet business or anyone that owns a blog. A widget is a webpage element that a visitor can interact with and they are growing in popularity as the internet evolves into the generation of Web 3.0. A widget allows a webpage author to create a window or text box to display with a variety of information to offer their visitors. Many websites provide free widgets because a widget can link back to its source when clicked. Blog authors can use widgets to display their latest posts, allowing a person to see the latest post on a page and click directly to that post from the widget. Other widgets you can find might feed and display the latest sports scores, weather, and other information of the day or minute, but you will find that they most always link back to their source. There are many sites that offer widgets such as Widget Box, Yahoo! Widgets and Widget Gallery. ...

Internet Business Find: Amazon Kindle 2008-01-30 21:37:00 amazon kindle Originally uploaded by life_changes Hello and thank you for reading!This week’s business find is something that I wish I had found years ago! I really needed this product when I first began my work from home adventure, and I recommend this product for anyone who has to do mass amounts of reading for research purposes. The product I am talking about is something that was released in 2007 called the Amazon Kindle. You may or may not have heard about this product, and if you haven’t I am going to tell you about it today. The Amazon Kindle is a wireless reading device with a basic web browser installed as well. Tied into the Sprint wireless network, you can use this device to browse and instantly download books to read on this device from the Amazon Kindle store. You can also access blogs, magazines, and newspapers from the Kindle, as well as highlight text and take notes as you read. You can also access Wikipedia from Kindle at no charge. Now, I don’t suggest ...

If you have had a chance to take a look at The Work from Home Online ‘book’ that is posted here on this blog, you will notice that I was able to provide you with detailed examples and instructions on how to work from home by using pictures of my computer screen. These pictures are called screenshots and I have become quite fond of them. I have used them for this blog post and others, to keep records of my earnings and traffic online, and for taking pictures of important screens online. I’ll give you a really good example of how I use this screen shot daily. Upon posting the complete Work from Home Online program last week, this blog moved up on the search engines and I took a ‘picture’ to mark the memory of making it to the top three on Google. Here is the screenshot I took of that:So as ...

Internet Business Find: Reputation Wiki 2007-12-20 01:53:00 Reputation Wiki Originally uploaded by life_changes You may or may not be familiar with a website named Wikipedia.For those who don’t know, Wikipedia is an online Encyclopedia that is contributed to and edited by internet users. I personally use Wikipedia on a daily basis to research my blogs. Wikipedia is administered by WikiMedia and has a few spin-off websites that have made it to the top of my favorites list such as Wiktionary, Creative Commons, WikiBooks, WikiVersity, WikiNews, WikiSpecies, WikiSource, and Meta-Wiki. Now, WikiMedia has taken it up yet another notch by recently partnering with Habeas, Inc. to bring us “Reputation Wiki”. Society is leading towards a take over of the ad industry by word of mouth referrals from average, everyday people - and I think that Reputation Wiki is right on time!Repuation Wiki was created with marketing professionals in mind. Here is a blurb from the sites main page:ReputationWiki is a collaboration and education resource for bu ...

Internet Business Find: Audio Acrobat 2007-12-13 00:29:00 Can you hear me now? Originally uploaded by A. Crider I’ve seen websites with audio players on them before... I just didn’t know it was something I would be able to do myself!I’ve seen audio players of all kinds, used for many different purposes, but recently delved into the world of audio players myself when I created my blog, Story Time Online. I decided to create imaginative stories for children, since I consider myself to be a good story teller when it comes to childrens stories. My kids have always loved the stories I came up with, but when I typed some of them up they just didn’t seem the same. I came to realize what was missing was my own personal touches and flair, like when I give the characters different voices, pause for effect, whisper or shout. Enhancing the writing with colored text, larger fonts, italics, bold or underlined words helped give life to my stories… but just a little. The only ingredient missing was me, but there was no way for me to go to ...

Internet Business Find: Prospecting Mastery 2007-12-05 21:15:00 Sarah Downtown Originally uploaded by rossination Finding loyal customers is KEY to growing your business.Whether your business is on the internet or not, you’ll need to gain loyal customers for your product or service. Max Steingart is someone who I’ve been keeping tabs on for the past few years since I subscribe to his newsletter. Now that I have opened this blog I can spill the beans and tell you what he has been doing for entrepreneurs everywhere! Over the past few years I have developed the “Work from Home Online” series from my own experiences with internet business and working from home. What I’ve found is that the best way to reach the most customers in the least amount of time is with instant messenger. At the time I only represented one particular company from home, and that company’s policy is to NOT advertise publicly… with them you can only acquire customers through word-of-mouth referral. As you can imagine, this is a pretty restricting way to get th ...

How 2 Work From Home Online Introduction 2007-12-01 20:38:00 Hello and welcome to the introduction to the "How 2 Work from Home Online" program - I truly applaud you for taking the time to read this post!Working from home can be a blessing in your life, and it has been in mine. There have also been moments when it seemed like working from home would turn out to be a curse, since it is one of the most challenging things that you can do. I myself have two children, and I started working from home when my oldest was 2 years old and my youngest was in the womb. Juggling two sets of diapers and a home business was a very challenging phase of life for me, and I am proud to have come out on top despite the obstacles. Besides, working from home is something that I pursued so that I could be there to change the diapers. (*wink)I’ve come a long way since those days, and I’ve developed a unique perspective on working from home and running your own home business. Even though I became a housewife and mother with responsibilities and chores, I still have ...

Work From Home Online Step 3 2007-12-01 20:37:00 Welcome to Step Three of the Work from Home Online Program!With any luck, Step Two was a fun experience, and you are taking time everyday to keep your MySpace membership alive and active. You should be more familiar with the features that MySpace offers, friend requests should be making their way to your inbox, and you should be interacting more and more with the people that are on your friends list. These activities should continue, so stick to your schedule as far as MySpace goes while you move forward with the rest of the Work from Home Online Program. We are going to come back to the MySpace page and do one final edit before the end of the program, but for now you should be comfortable with your page and how it conveys your identity before you begin working on Step Three. Step Three of the Work from Home Online Program is to “Find Good Sponsors”. This is going to be a simple step, but it will take a good chunk of time to complete. I am going to provide you with a list of links ...

Work From Home Online Step 4 2007-12-01 20:37:00 ~*~ FRIENDS ~ BOOKMARK THIS PAGE ~ IT'S A LONG ONE ~*~ Hello there... how are you feeling? You’ve come a very long way from where we started!Are you excited about how far you’ve come? I hope that you are... you have a lot of power as a consumer, and now as an endorsement provider for your sponsors! For Step 4 of The Work from Home Online Program, you are going to funnel all the work that you have done so far into a tangible income earning asset for you – your own blogs. If you don’t know what a blog is, take a look at Wikipedia for a crash course. You’ll find that the name ‘blog’, is short for ‘weblog’, and a weblog is basically an online log that you post entries to. Many people began using weblogs as an ‘online journal’, and since then individual creativity has lent to a wide variety of uses for blogs on a wide variety of topics. All weblogs online are collectively referred to as “The Blogosphere”, and this can be an overwhelming ‘place’! Upon entering ...

You’ve created blogs that you are passionate about, and joined social networking sites that you are interested in. In the last step you’ve maximized it all by streamlining and optimizing everything.
