Check out Drop Shipping
Usually I write every week about making money using the internet, but my blog is also a work-at-home blog, which does include other types of business that do not necessarily include the internet. So I thought I would give you guys a peek into the world of drop shipping. It can be very lucrative, and like the internet, you do not have to handle any actual products. You simply need to promote them, which can be done an any of the usual ways, commercials, newspaper ads, magazine ads, and of course the internet. Its your choice. A customer places an order with you and your drop shipping company automatically ships out your product for you.
Wholesale companies and drop shipping companies have become the big hit with the work at home deal. Wholesale companies and drop shipping have also become a big hit on auctions like Ebay and Yahoo. If you sell the right items you can make pretty good money by drop shipping and buying wholesale. Their are a lot of wholesale companies and drop shipping companies out there on the web. Many people charge you for a list of wholesale companies or drop shipping companies. Most of the list are not worth the money because most of the companies no longer exist. I’m not saying all list are like that. But majority of them are. But why pay for those list when you can get all of that free? There are three websites that you can look at wholesale companies and drop shipping companies for free. Here they are, check them out and see which one might be right for you.

Home Business Insurance, is it needed?
Home-based businesses are taking unnecessary risks by not taking out adequate commercial insurance cover, according to research from Direct Line for Business. The study found that 28 per cent of home-based companies have no form of business insurance at all, with just 12 per cent having sufficient protection if their business was temporarily unable to trade. Furthermore, only 32 per cent of at-home businesses people have taken out public liability insurance, and just 11 per cent have product liability insurance, putting themselves at risk from claims made against them.
The majority of businesses based at home have not taken out business insurance and leave themselves vulnerable to being unable to cover the cost of a crisis, Direct Line for Business warns. Kate Syred, head of Direct Line for Business, said: “With so few businesses being protected from a liability claim, or an unexpected pause in trading, this research highlights the need for business owners to think about specific business insurance. Without it, dreams of being a business owner could quickly become a nightmare.” When you decide to “work from home,” please take the time and discuss it with your home owners insurance policy company. Tell them your now operating a business out of your house and find out what coverage’s you need. A lot of times you can find discounts since you already have a policy with your company. Don’t blow this off and think its not important, the last thing you want is to lose your home over some product you sold on the internet!

Email Marketing 101 for 2010
With 2010 here, most marketers are frantically putting the finishing touches on marketing plans. Before focusing too hard on video or social ad formats, however, marketers should plan a bit more in email. Email is old, you say? Email is proven, say the experts. Blaine Mathieu, chief marketing officer with email hub Lyris, insists that email will continue to be a strong force in marketing through the New Year. Here are Mathieu’s top trends for 2010. “Email will continue to be an anchor for multimedia and online marketing,” said Mathieu. “All indications are that email will continue to grow into 2010. Email is recognized as the highest ROI form of online marketing and it’s measurable. Even though email is the ‘grandfather’, it really is the cornerstone and will remain.
Mathieu also expects to see more integration between email and social ad platforms. “As part of the social mix, online marketers will continue to integrate social media with email marketing to ensure that brands, projects and products are cross-marketed and connecting with consumers. More than just social integration, though, Mathieu expects to see integration of most other online ad formats and email through 2010. “It’s always the promise on the horizon,” said Mathieu. “But in 2010 you’re going to see more progress toward truly achieving integrated marketing. Any marketer not using integrated tool sets is doing a disservice to the brand. Entire organizations will be working with social applications to connect with the consumer base.” Also don’t forget, set up with http://www.aweber.com or some other well known email / auto responder service to manage your email lists, it is an absolute must, if you want to be profitable with online marketing.

The Power of Keywords and Market Research
This is going to be a pretty short post over my personal strategy for getting free traffic to my websites:
It’s simple:
Go to google’s keyword tool then take down a list of searches per month then open up a new tab or window in firefox, internet explorer, safari, or chrome and type in the keywords to a search. Now look right under the place you type in your search then look at page results.
If you’re looking at phrases make sure you “put quotations around the keywords”..this helps you understand the power and the real competition within the keyword phrases…quotations alone will drop page results by millions.
Now like I said in the last post, I think it’s best to find keywords with under 100,000 page results balanced with 2,000+ searches/month.
BUT this rule is flexible…what I personally like to see is the best search/result ratios I can find.
So that’s pretty much the key to finding high quality keywords…we have more dynamic strategies and we show you the ins and outs of keyword in our course if you’re interested:
In this course we give you one on one access to us for 3 months as well as an education that took us 3 years and $50,000+ to develop.
