Opportunities for Home Business

Posts Tagged ‘Common Sense’

A Home Business plan doesn’t have to be elaborate.  In fact there is a strong argument to suggest that the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle is the best principle to have when running an online business.

Jon Olson’s Pizza Plan has been around for a while and to be fair, I haven’t paid it the attention that it deserves.

It is simple and very smart.

Jon, for those who don’t know him is now the successful owner of I Love Hits, Swat Traffic and the highly acclaimed Sweeva.  He is in many ways the face of the legitimate Traffic Exchange Industry.  If you tune in to his live webcast TE Live, you will find him to be passionate, gregarious, funny and tremendously loyal to those who choose to do business with him  in a professional manner.

Jon is a living example of what can be achieved with hard work, dedication, drive, discipline and determination.

By his own admission, Jon was like many others who start off in this industry, switching constantly from program to program, hoping against hope that something would pay off.  With predictable results.

Then he had an ah ha moment and set about building a business.

And it is a very successful one founded upon the simple principles of the Pizza plan.

There is nothing earth shattering here, no hidden secrets, no tricks, just a simple plan founded on common sense.  If you’re struggling on line, you need to get hold of this report now and start taking action.

It will work – if you want it to work.

O.K.  I confess I'm no Twitter guru but it is an intriguing medium and presents a raft of possibilities for Home Business opportunities.
First and foremost, this post was firstly prompted by Tim Linden's post on his blog "Yes I unfollowed you on Twitter". As his wont – Tim made perfect sense and made me think about something I frankly have not paid enough attention to.  That is whose posts I was viewing in Twitter and whose post's I wanted to see.
I was still thinking about his when I watched a great video from Kim Roach about adswapping and how she networked an adswap through Twitter.
Whoa hang on a minute – she negotiated an Adswap through Twitter!
She created a conversation, she followed up in a polite manner and she did a mutually beneficial business deal.
There it is – how to use Twitter responsibly, ethically and profitably in one video talking about something else entirely.  It blew me away.  It is just common sense, but sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees.
Inspired by Kim's video I went back to Twitter with the intention of creating some real conversations and I was instantly hit by the drivel coming from some of the people I was following.  One person would make a post every five minutes stating exactly the same thing (obvious bot), another "professional marketer" made12 posts in the space of about 3 minutes – all of which contained an affiliate link, another bot informed me of bargains to be had shopping at discount stores in America.
Who are these people and how on earth did I end up following them?
I think I know how – it is considered wise to follow people who follow you – the more you appear on peoples lists the more likely you are to be "followed" by their followers.  This may be OK if you are working in a specific niche- like Guitar lessons or fishing, but when you are working in a field as large and varied as Internet Marketing, you attract all the Tweet bots aimed at getting you to follow their owners.
It boils down to this, as it always does, Internet Marketing is a people business.  No amount of automation and technology can replace the connection between two like minded people or between a person with a genuine need and somebody else with a genuine solution.
Used in the right fashion ala the Kim Roach method, Twitter can be a powerful networking tool, but misused and it is just another way of marking you as unprofessional.  Spam is spam no matter what the medium.
I've already started un-following people I can see no obvious connection with, I suggest that you do the same.
Start using Twitter to create Home Business opportunities, not blast the message out to people who don't care.
