DON'T BE AFRAID TO FAIL!

One of the best ways to succeed is to fail.

Ironic? NO

When you made the decision to work from home on the internet and you put up your blog or website, you might have found out that you were not getting the traffic, clicks and/or the sales you wanted.
Whether it was due to its template, font, color, content, marketing, traffic, seo, hosting, etc,.
You wished that you had the knowledge that you've gained now back then.
But, don't give up. Use your new found knowledge to succeed.

JUST DON'T SET IT AND FORGET IT!
Long gone are the days where you put up a website or blog, add content and a little SEO and your site was up in the rankings.

UPDATE CONSTANTLY TO STAY RELEVANT
USE TAGS
ADD CONTENT
BACK LINK
USE VIDEO
and don't forget to PING

It may take you 2, 3, even 4 sites to find your rhythm and that special niche

COMMISSION JUNCTION

You should choose products that are compatible to your niche or website content.

Once chosen, a link will be created with your personal affiliate id number and you simple copy and paste into your website.

*Limit the amount of products. You don't want your site overwhelmed with ads, it turns visitors off. Instead make it blend into your website.

You can also just promote your links as text ads. Use the tools and methods that I showed you in my earlier post.
Can you find the affiliate programs on this site?
Was it so obvious to find them all?

Working at Home Article

here is one of my published article
I do not know of anyone who would not prefer to work at home in exchange from the 9-5. The market for work at home businesses and jobs has exploded and continues to grow day by day. One main reason for this phenomenon is the internet. The internet has made it possible for so many at home successes. But I must warn you they did not become successful by just getting a domain name and hosting a website or blog. As I grow and continue to learn there are steps that must be learned and followed to become financially independent.

At the beginning of my journey in the work at home arena, there were terms that I didn't understand and knowledge of the web that I had to gain. Most importantly I had a site that was sitting there looking pretty with no one there to see it. Oh, there are and were plenty of people on the net but not a one was looking at my "pretty" site. How do I get my site seen by others? I had to learn about getting my site in internet ready status which meant RSS, ping, feeds, directories, forums, back links, keywords, content, search engine optimization, ads, opt in email and of course article writing. These are critical for anyone looking to have a successful site. And with more and more sites added to search engines everyday please keep in mind the rules may and do change so make sure to follow any and all updates.

I found that blogs can be your main source of income. It is search engine friendly and are free. Post whatever interesting content you want with advertisements and affiliate links . A blog can be about business, pleasure, politics etc.,and update it frequently.

Working at home should not be stressful at all (that's the reason why we leave the 9-5). So if this is your beginning be patient, gain knowledge, apply it, and be free.
