Structuring your DMO

Posted by Monika in Freelance Writing Ar... | 07.31.2007 - 9:57 pm

DMO is an expression I learned in my network marketing days. It stands for “daily method of operation” and is in effect a written plan of your intentions. Many people don’t use a DMO and wonder why they missed out on achieving the most important things they set out to do in any given day. Do you use a DMO? If yes, how is it structured? Are you using hourly time limits, or do you prioritize by task? There are many ways to structure a DMO right. It has to work for YOU and I found that this is actually the biggest secret in not only writing a DMO, but also accomplishing the tasks I set out to do.

Newcomers on the Internet consistently ask me the same questions. How can I make money online? And what would I have to do to achieve this? Let me make one point clear right away. There is no such thing as quick money. Whatever avenue you choose to travel on, you will need to structure your work and plan ahead. One of the best places to learn this, is to visit online forums. Forums are a great place to find the information you are looking for. But be warned; not always is the so called expert what he claims to be! To make money online requires discipline and knowledge. Look out for the regulars and those who commit to posting and participating within the forums. You can be assured that those will be able to help you with concise and honest information about the topic given. If you are serious about making money online, you can look into various ways to achieve this.


Are You Testing and Tweaking your Marketing Promotions?

Posted by Monika in Freelance Writing Ar... | 07.26.2007 - 11:29 pm

We all know that the purpose of having a website or blog or a combination of both is sending traffic to those pages.But the traffic doesn’t happen to just stop by. Your website isn’t a shop front where people walk by to peek in at their leisure. No, you will need to promote your site to the world so that others know that you are open for business. A common and often overlooked fact is the need to test your website traffic.To do this effectively however, you need to know the goals of your site first to be able to attract the right kind of people. What do you hope to achieve with your site? What is the exact purpose? A simple answer should be easy to give. If you have problems doing this, you might need to rethink your strategies and the aim of your site first.Further to this you need to track, analyze and tweak your marketing efforts to be able to double, triple or simply multiply your traffic without double the work.


Are You making Money with Your Blog?

Posted by Monika in Freelance Writing Ar... | 07.25.2007 - 12:42 pm

I know this is a rather personal question, but one that is essential in it’s own right. If you are blogging with the intention of making money, then you will need to take a long and hard look at your blog. Does it make you money? If yes, what resources do you use to your benefit? Maybe you are successful with Google Adwords and make some nice bonuses every month? I can tell you that this certainly didn’t work for me. I also know that I might have not concentrated enough on this. But it wasn’t a priority and that is where the money making secret really lies. You need to look at your priorities and why you are blogging in the first place.


Blogging Blueprint

Posted by Monika in Freelance Writing Ar... | 07.23.2007 - 11:27 pm

I was thinking how I can help others to start earning money with their blogs. I know that many people wonder how it is actually possible to do this and in this article I want to shed some light on the issue. There are two possibilities for two different groups of people. First we have the group that already have an existing blog and have been blogging for a while. Whether they blog about working from home opportunities, their hobbies, animals, shopping, travel…it doesn’t matter. And then there is the second group of already established bloggers with blogs that have been crafted for months. Blogging is a craft, so why not monetize it?!


Thief Sal is Lurking Somewhere Close by!

Attention all internet marketers and home business owners. There is a thief amongst us. In fact this thief is using mafia tactics to steal our information on our websites and makes a fortune doing so. His name is Sal and has been reported to be the craftiest of site stealer’s amongst our community. I was shocked to see what he gets up to when no one is suspecting a thing and am now properly guarded against his crafty activities.

To be armed against loosing your valuable website content, visit Sal’s site and find out NOW before it is too late!


Stick - Ability

Posted by Monika in Freelance Writing Ar... | 07.18.2007 - 10:49 pm

I chose to write about stick-ability today to help others who might struggle see that there is a reason why we do things. Lets face it, we often dream about a certain thing, whether it is an object we like to acquire, a holiday we so desperately want or even objects of want we simply salivate about. I’m talking cars, houses, money. Whatever it is we dream about and want, we need to get into action to acquire those things. They don’t just come flying through our front door do they? Gee, wouldn’t that be nifty, but then we wouldn’t appreciate those things either, I can almost guarantee you this.


FAN in Beta

Posted by Monika in Freelance Writing Ar... | 07.17.2007 - 5:10 pm

Fair Ads Network or FAN for short have launched their official Beta version. A great alternative to Google Adwords it allows publishers and advertisers alike to make money by displaying various ads on websites. The problem with Google is that they have very strict TOS and many marketers get shut down by them by unknowingly upsetting those terms.
On the others side marketers hardly make money with Google these days as it is hard to get people to click on those ads. With FAN it is different as not only do they allow users to run them besides Google Adwords, but they also pay for a referral program by referring others. They also feature a great marketing forum to network with other Internet business owners.


Keeping the Focus!

After a particular challenging week I thought long and hard what makes me tick to keep going in my online business ventures. See, I’m not fortunate enough to be financially independent yet. But I do know that by keeping on track with my business I will be. Things are moving along nicely and if I keep doing what I have done over the last two months, I will be able to jack in my JOB for good in about 6-12 months. The reason I think it will take longer is because I also want my husband to be able to quit his job. The ultimate dream is for both of us to stay home and work online in our own business. Traveling the world part time is a nice addition. :-)
