Online Home Legitimate Business - Housekeeping
My family and I were doing some house keeping work on our house during the weekends in preparation for the coming Chinese Lunar New Year. We picked out old clothing to be cleaned and given away to homes and orphanages. Vacuumed and wiped clean the house we even painted it. Well, it was about time, the last time we painted it was about 4 years ago.
And what a transformation it has been. Our house is and has always been in a “properly maintained” condition, even then, with the new paint work the it has that glow again. A sense of good “Feng Shui” lingers all over. A feeling of a new beginning. A feeling of gearing up to face 2009 anew. You now what I mean? The same is true for your online home legitimate business.
Then it struck me to blog about house keeping of your online home legitimate business. Ask yourself, when was the last time you backed up your computer, or the folders you use to keep important information about your online home business. Stuff like your back up files for your website or your blog. Information on products you are affiliated to and their support contact information. Graphics you use for your website or blogs and so on.
Here’s one. What is the condition of your computer’s desktop page? Chances are you have files or folders pasted all over it your wallpaper is hardly visible. It’s time to delete off unwanted or unused items from your computer as well. For one you get to free up your hard disc space and most importantly, it’s just so much more soothing to the eyes. You can find even find that important folder for tomorrow’s meeting so much easier.
Well, what are you waiting for? Lets get started with the house keeping already.

My Legitimate Home Business Blog Alexa Ranking Increased Again!
This is a follow up on my previous post on; “How I Increased My Legitimate Home Based Business Wordpress Blog Alexa Ranking“. Today started off with a beautiful surprise for me. My Legitimate Home Business blog shot up the Alexa ranking from about 1.7mil to 1.4mil. That’ s almost 300, 000 up the Alexa staircase.
My last recorded Alexa ranking was 1,697,511 on the 20th Dec 2008 and my Legitimate Home Business blog ranking today, 10th Jan 2009 is 1,405,129. That’s 292, 382 positions up the rank to be exact in about 20 days.
That’s taking into consideration that I have been busy with the recent X’mas and the New Year holidays and blogging was put on hold for a couple of days, naturally. But then I started blogging again the whole of this week but nothing happened until…
I created a few Squidoo lenses with the relevant keywords pointing back to my website and blog yesterday and whoa la! I wake up with an improved ranking today. Could this be a coincidence? Its possible. The only way to find out is to create more squidoo lenses and wait for the result.
I know you can get good search engine ranking using good keywords to create Squidoo lenses and directing backlinks to them, but boosting up Alexa ranking. That’s new to me, but a good surprise nevertheless. I will continue with squidoo and see if that surprises me again. I should highlight it here that I have also launched a article marketing campaign for my Legitimate Home Business blog about 2 weeks ago. That helped too I’m sure.
Until my next update then.
Tips Guaranteed To Improve Your Article Marketing Efforts
The one thing that remains unchanged since the beginning of internet marketing is the power of article marketing. Quality keyword rich articles pull in traffic like magnate. You can see the effects almost immediately when you submit articles to directories like Ezinearticles or posting them in a Wordpress blog.
In this posting I will reveal to you some of the most important tips to a traffic generating article writing.
Writing an article is very similar to creating a good content for your website. The basic SEO tactics applies here too. Firstly you would need to do keyword research. Now, if you have been following my postings you know I have always stressed on the importance of keyword research over and over again. This is one of the reasons why. You can also write articles on them.
There are many good and free keyword research tools like Seobook and Google to help you identify good keywords for your article marketing campaign.
After you have found your keywords, sprinkle them into your article. Keep in mind to maintain keyword density of less than 3%. The keyword or keyword phrase must appear in the title, first paragraph, middle and conclusion of the article. This is my rule of thumb and it has worked well for my article writing. Also, keep the word count to more than 400 but less than 450 words.
The next thing you need to master is writing good titles for your articles. In mastering I really mean good enough to be dangerous. Here is a good way to learn. Pay Ezinearticles a visit and take note on the titles of articles that catch your attention. Look at how they are written and the words they use. You’ll get a good idea from there. You can even create a swipe file of tiles that you like for use in the future. What ever works for you.
Once your article is ready, submit it to good article directories. Ezinearticles, Articlebase, Goarticles, Buzzle, Articlesfactory and Isnare are some of the quality article directories that will do justice to your article writing efforts. Post it to your wordpress blog if you have one. If you don’t, make one. It’s free and you will not regret it. It’s powerful. I have gotten my some of my postings indexed and listed in the first page of Google in 2 minutes. Not kidding.
If you have the budget SubmitYourArticle is a good service to use. Their state of the art technology takes your article marketing efforts to the next level.
Lastly, write from your heart. Try writing something from your experience if you can. Feel free to share your mistakes and your victory. I have read literatures that advices you from sharing too much. There are truth in that I must say. But I always believe this, ”give and you shall receive”. Whether it’s good or bad. So, give with a sincere heart and you shall receive the same. Always.

Legitimate Work From Home Business Opportunities Online
With the current economic crisis, many have gone online in search of legitimate work from home business opportunities. Is this a wise move? I would say so, since the investment required to start a legitimate work from home business is relatively low. Not to mention, the whole world is your potential market.
There are a few things you must consider when deciding on the legitimate work from home opportunities that are right for you. My advice is always to start off with the industry you are interested in. This can your hobbies. Things you are passionate about. It should be something that would lighten up your smile when you think about it. Something that would get you excited even when you are dead tired after a long day of work from the office.
Why? Because it is tough working on something on your spare time. Especially when you have a day job that squeezes the living daylight out of you. I know I have been there. However, if you are working on something that would keep you energized and interested, chances are you would continue doing it. That’s why it is important to always work on something you love. It keeps you going when the going gets tough. The other thing you must know when deciding on a legitimate work from home business opportunity is, to learn the trade.
Learn about internet marketing and online promotions. Unless you don’t plan to go far with your work from home business, you must learn how to promote your it online. This ranges from email marketing, article marketing, search engine optimization, pay per click marketing and so on. Learn them and pick two or three marketing tactics you are comfortable with and master them. Do not attempt to master all the marketing strategies out there. You’ll be spending so much time learning about them, you would not have time to implement them.
As I said, pick the one’s you know you would be good at and master them. Don’t be the Jack of all trades and the master of non. You would be wasting precious time and money. There’s one other thing that I would like to touch on before I conclude this article and this is important.
What I would like to bring to your attention is, always treat your legitimate work from home business like you would a real business. And like any other business you need to persevere to make it work. You are bound to face with obstacles that’s the nature of how things work. The secret is to learn and improve on them and move on.

Are You Spending Wisely On Your Online Home Business?
One of the most important factors to consider when starting an online home business is, how much money are you ready to spend on it. Should the cost go beyond your budget, it is very likely you will give it up. Therefore, it is important to always keep track of your internet business accounting and know exactly how much you are spending on it.
It has just come to my attention recently, that most online business owners do not know how much their online home business is costing them. Surprising as this may seem, statistics don’t lie. Let’s tackle this from the standpoint of money and time.
Money and time are the two constant factors that are available to everybody. Some people have more money than time and vice-versa. Those who have the money may opt to build their internet business by outsourcing. A concept that frees you from the doing the work manually as you pay others to perform the internet marketing tasks for you. They can also buy traffic to visit their websites. This is evident in the form of pay per click services and buying advertising spaces to name a few.
It’s good and well if you are striking a profit with the above promotional methods. What if you are not? Are you aware of how much you are spending exactly to make sale? If you are spending $15 to make a sale that is worth only $8, you are running a lost here. This is the obvious example.
Let’s look into another scenario. Have you given a thought of how much you are spending to run your online home business? By this I mean the costs for your hosting, domain name, auto responders, advertising, marketing and so on. You must take all this into consideration when computing for the sum of your total online business cost.
The above simply means that, if you spend $200 a month to run your business and you make $300 in sales, you would be making a profit of $(300-200) $100 every month. Anything less than $200, you will be running at a lost. So, be aware.
If you don’t have money to invest in advertising you will have to try free or nearly free methods. The most popular of these that is been proven to be successful over the years is article marketing. Writing and submitting articles is a great way to build up back links to your website and in turn generate traffic over a period of time. This is not necessarily a fast way, but can be a consistent form of Internet traffic for you in the future.
Whether you choose to spend more time or money you should calculate what your online home business is costing you. Determine what your time is worth on an hourly rate and keep track of that every week. By keeping track of your hourly rate and monthly business expenses, you will have a good picture of how much you need to run your internet business.
