Happy New Year!!!
This is my very first post for the year 2009 and this is quite exciting. 2008 felt like it just flown by. Strange thing is every passing year seem to fly by faster and faster. Do you feel that too?
I didin’t leave home this year. I celebrated the new year at home and spent quality time with my 4 month old baby boy. It was just great…
It has been predicted that 2009 is going to be a very challenging year, economically. We’ll get through it don’t worry. We just need to face it head on and learn lessons along the way and be better. 
As Rocky Balboa says it, “it’s not how much you can take, it’s how much you can take and keep moving forward”…
I love those words. Obstacles are lessons of life. Learn from them and make things better. I always believe that with chaos, comes unity and improvement.
It is with that believe that I am confident we will all get through this with a new lesson in life and how we can improve from it.
Anyway, Have Fun and be Merry!!

How I Increased My Legitimate Home Based Business Wordpress Blog Alexa Ranking
There is a continuing debate if Alexa ranking would be used as an influential gauge to measure traffic to a website. Many legitimate home based business owners even seasoned Internet marketers testify against the use of Alexa ranking in determining the popularity of a website.
But in practice, most would refer to Alexa as a traffic monitor to decide if a website is worth doing business dealings with. So, how do you increase your ranking with Alexa?
There are many theories to this and one of them is through blogging regularly. On the Dec 11th 2008 I have decided to test this theory out on this blog; www.PluginPassiveIncome.com/blog2. I created this blog in August but had not worked on it seriously as I was learning how to use Wordpress and could not decide on which template to use etc.
Anyway, I had finally came to a conclusion to proceed with my legitimate home based business blog with this template as I really wanted to test this theory out. When I started out in December, my Alexa ranking was a little over 2.2 million. I decided to post one blog a day, social-bookmark and stumble every post to see how things would improve. I am using just Onlywire for my social-bookmarking.
In just 3 days, 13th Dec my ranking went up to 1,941,918. That’s just by 1 post a day, amazing! I continued to do the same and to date, 22nd Dec my Legitimate Home Based Business blog’s ranking have increased to 1,697,511. You can see my current ranking if you have an Alexa gauge installed on your browser.
You can come back occasionally to see if my ranking improves if you don’t believe me. Does it work? Based on my experiment it sure does. Try it out for yourself. You would be amazed with the result.

Why Now Is A Good Time To Start An Internet Business
It’s that time of the year of buying new clothing and gifts for loved one’s and friends for Christmas is just around the corner. I am always excited during this time of the year. Taking my family out and spending quality time with them. It just fills my heart with joy and contentment.
But something was different this time around. I can’t help but to notice the obvious, the place that used to be flooded with shoppers during this time of the year was relatively quite. Well, this has definitely to do with the current recession that have strucked us like a Tsunami.
In fact, most parts of the world are effected by this and the US in particular, has got one of the biggest blow. Sad to say, many have been laid off and left without a job. Then this thought came to my mind, if only they have started internet businesses to generate income.
Look I’m not trying to blow my horns, but my sales increased 20% last month and it’s reaching 30% this month. Please don’t get me wrong, the reason I’m telling you this is because this is the best time to venture into businesses online.

How To Create Information Products And Make Money Selling Them Online
Selling information products on the Internet is one of the most lucrative industry since the beginning of Internet marketing. For one, they are easy to create. The cost of making an information product is relatively low and since it is in digital form, you do not require a storage space for them.
Today I am going to explore how to make money selling information products online and how you can create them. The most common form of information product is e-books. They have been around for years and are here to stay. Why? Well, they are good alternatives for physical books, you save on paper and you save on printing cost. Thus, saving you in production costs.
They are easy to make. If you have a solution to offer to the public, you have a product in hand. It could be an e-book on how to train your dog to catch mouse or how to use Adobe Photoshop. If you are an author and have already written books, you can convert them to digital format to sell. You can use Open Office’s free word processor software to create one.
Audio books are also popular items online. Many prefer to listen rather than read a book nowadays. Don’t worry, they are easy to make. If you have an e-book or have written a book, all you need to do is read the whole book while recording it. That’s all, you would now have an audio book for sale. I would reckon that you package this along with your e-book, up the price and sell them as a complete package.
Another popular information product is “how to” videos. You can get a free software at Camtasia to produce them. What this software does is, it allows you to record what you do on your computer screen and record your voice at the same time. This gives you the ultimate how to tutorial combining visual and vocal instructions. You can also combine a few how to videos or e-books and sell them as a package as well.
After you have created the information products, register with Clickbank as a merchant and use their services to sell them online. Their services include collecting credit card payment and delivering the product download link for you. They also provide an affiliate program where you can recruit affiliates to sell for you. This is a good third party merchant you can consider.
There you have it. You can now start creating your own information products and make money selling them online. The only thing stopping you from making money online now is you yourself. Just do it and make it a reality.

So, what are the secrets to making a living on the Internet? Simple really and there are no secrets at all. The fundamental business strategies apply here too and that is always look for a market to sell to. The truth of the matter is, you have got to identify a market first before deciding what to sell. Many get it wrong. They create a product which they are convinced is the best in the world only to find that they can’t sell.
Look, you can have the best product that money can buy but if there’s no market for it, nobody will buy. It’s that simple but then how do you decide on what market to sell to? Do a market research. You can use keyword research tools like Wordtracker or SeoTool to identify a popular market.
Pay attention to offline advertisements as well. Your local newspapers will give you a good indication of the what are the current popular products. Find out what are the most advertised products, that would be a good place to start. It’s not cheap to put an advertisement on the newspapers, for a company to place it there they would have done the home work that it’s worth the money. Here’s another, do you know what are the top sellers in your local book store? Get your online money making ideas here.
After you have identified the market it is then now the right time you to create the product to feed the market. You can either create you own or get services from websites like Elance to do it for you for a fee. I would advice on looking towards digitally downloadable products. For one they are easy to deliver, secondly you do not need a warehouse, saving you storage costs.
The next thing you need to learn is how to market online and drive traffic to your online business website to sell and promote your product. Lastly, you need to formulate a consistent income system by means of backend selling. You can either create your own or look for affiliate products to sell. Products or services with membership subscription would be a good choice here as they provide residual income.
Making money online is the same as making money on any business. You have got to learn the trade and put them into practice. The same is true with an online business. You will face obstacles along the way but you must face them head on and move forward no matter what. That’s how you will succeed.
