Start Internet Business as a Hobby and Turn It into Financial Freedom

By James Evans

For some reason, a lot of people fear the thought of starting up their own business. They need a reliable income in order to keep their head above water with their finances. If you start internet business, you will not have to quit your day job, but you may find that over time, you can make enough money to look forward to retirement instead of worrying about where the money is going to come from during your golden years.

The thought that a business is something that you have to worry about or maintain is a little bit of a misnomer when it comes to the internet. In fact, an internet business is something that can take very little time and effort on your part and can create some very nice profits.

If you have something that interests you that people have to spend money to enjoy, you can have your own business. You can start your own blog and then load it up with affiliate links to send people to existing businesses. When they use your link to make a purchase or use the service, you get a commission in the form of affiliate income.

Once your site is up and running, you will then need to get readers to the site in the hopes that they will use your links to make a purchase. You won't get all of them to make a purchase through your links, but the more traffic you create, the better chance you have of being successful.

The best way to market your site will be through article marketing. This not only creates backlinks to your site, but also establishes you as an expert in your niche. The more times you show up in search engines, the better chance you have of generating mass traffic to your site.

Starting up your own internet business does not have to be a major production or investment. This is not a store front based business that you need to get a loan or worry about any of the other financial requirements. The low upfront costs and unlimited earnings potential make them a very attractive opportunity to create financial freedom.

How to do Short Sales, A Tough Investment

This article is for those of you who have tried your hand at Short Sales and realized that they're harder than they look.

A comparison of the two...

How to do Short Sales...What is Required?

Short Sales are transactions that involve a willing borrower you've spent time convincing that they would be a likely candidate for a short sale.

And a loss mitigation officer overwhelmed with short sale proposals who often takes forever to get back to you documentation.

Compared to buying bank notes, short sales require bank statements, tax information, proof of income, letters explaining hardship, closing statements, and cash.

You might have to finance the purchase if you aren't able to close simultaneously on the short sale.

Buying Bank Notes vs How to do Short Sales

Real estate note buying won't require you to gather documentation. You will be working with a secondary asset manager or loss mitigation officer who already has the documentation for you, all you will need to do is review the information. The documents that you will need to worry about are the purchase and sale agreement and the loss mitigation officer. Most lenders will follow the same process.

In defaulted mortgages, you will need money to purchase the bank notes - however, there are strategies to pursue certain types of notes that actually require very little capital. More on that later.

Short Sales and Buying Notes in California

First of all, Civil Code 1695 won't apply to you (when taking title in a deed in lieu negotiation, you are exempt from the constraints that equity purchasers have). As opposed to having to find a buyer and selling the property, there are multiple exits for you. They include loan mods, deed in lieu, refinances, and selling the note.

You have no licensing requirements if you're buying a bank note with a singular (as opposed to fractional) interest.

You're not subject to potential litigation as you are in lease option deals (e.g. your lease option is interpreted as a loan and you're accused of equity stripping) - in a real estate note purchases, you can simply modify your loan. You are, however, subject to changing foreclosure laws, since you're now the lender.

My Last Thought on Short Sales and Buying Bank Notes

I'll leave you with this - whereas you may have thought short sales were a pain-in-the-butt because of the uncooperative lender you were negotiating with. You may find yourself on the other side of the table if you buy a bank note, and have an investor come to you with an offer asking you if you'll take a discount on your defaulted mortgage in order to sell the property.

Hows that for a change of pace?

Google Advertising Tips Exposed!

By MLMAbsolute

Another way of getting traffic is through Pay Per Click Campaigns (PPC). Which is the best site to do the PPC campaign with? I personally use Google, for obvious reasons, it is the biggest search engine

Pay Per Click allows your advertisement to appear when users search keywords related to your website. Your advertisement will appear on the right side of natural search results.

Advertising on Google through PPC is not free, you pay whenever someone clicks on your advertisement. However, the cost of advertising is controlled by you. you can set the daily limit and the per click cost.

Say the amount you pay for per click is $0.10, and the daily limit is $30 the maximum clicks you can get in a day is 300clicks. Assuming your conversion rate is 3%, everyday you will make 9 sale. And if the commission you get per sale is $30, every day you will earn $270 from one website.

Well, this is of course a very optimistic projection.

To score better results with your PPC advertisement, you need to take note of 5 points

Research your Keywords

You must select your keywords (search terms) for your Google advertisement. If your website is already ranked on the first page of natural search results, you probably do not have to waste anymore money on PPC. You might only want to consider using PPC on search terms that your website which you do not appear on the first page.

There are various tools you can use to determine which Keyword to use. You can go to www.google.com/keywords to search for other popular keywords to use, as well as the average search volume for each keyword. After you chose a few keywords you wish to use, compare it at www.google.com/trends to view which is a better keyword to be used.

Plan your PPC ads

- Headline

The headline is very important to capture readers' attention and make them want to click on your advertisement. Make your advertisement stand out from your competitors.

- Offer

You should try to keep your advertisement short and sweet. Give readers the benefits they will receive if they click on your advertisement. Use action words that will make readers want to click.

Devising Your PPC Campaign

For every marketing campaign you need to come out with a strategy before implementation so that you can use it as a reference to find out if the campaign met your desired outcome.

Think of the main purpose of your PPC campaign, stay focus to your goal. Think of how is the PPC going to enhance the results of your total marketing efforts.

Take note of your advertising costs and your returns from the Google advertising to determine if the Google advertisement have been effective for you. Analyze the results to improve on your advertising campaign.

Set Your Budget

PPC is a paid advertising method, you need to set your limits for the advertising, and manage your costs. Keep your costs to a minimum while increasing the effectiveness of your advertisements to achieve your goal.

Step 1: Fight For The Best Spot

Your ad should appear in the first few pages of natural search results. You will probably get more serious people looking for solution when your ad appear in the2-4 position in the page if they are willing to click your ad, chances are that the traffic into your website will be more targeted.

Step 2: Analyze Your Stats

Make use of your website statistics to understand your crowd. Learn how they behave so you can target your marketing efforts to suit your target audiences.

Step 3: Be Decisive

For keywords that are not converting traffic or sales to you, do not hesitate to drop them. Use www.google.com/keywords to check the average searches. Or you can use www.google.com/trends to compare keywords. Since the number of words you can put into your PPC advertisement is very limited, you need to find the most effective keywords to use.

Step 4: Calculate

As mentioned in the previous points, it it very important to manage your costs and results, try not to spend more than 10% of your profits in advertising, you can initially spend more to reach out to the masses, but try to return the advertising expenditure to less than 10%.

Monitor Results

You must review and monitor your PPC campaign to alter and manage your website and advertisement to achieve better results. Look at the statistics and reports on your ad.

Review your campaigns regularly to increase your effectiveness of your campaigns while keeping costs to the minimum

Posting To Your Blog With Relevance And Voice

By Don Bethune

The information you choose to offer in your blog, and how you go about presenting it is ultimately what determines the tone of your website. Doing so properly can be a financially rewarding home based business. What is your personal area of expertise? Is it political in nature, or social? Visitors to your blog demand that you offer concise reports of information as it occurs. Often, they wish to offer their own opinions on the happenings. During this Novembers elections, it was the blogs who were often first to break news. Often, they did so before most major news outlets. Thus, visitors of your blog rely on your updates and opinions to offer them what the aforementioned news outlets are not.

Your blog should consist primarily of up to date reports of information and occurrences. The voice in which you offer this information is what you sets your blog apart. Hopefully, you can be found through affiliate marketing programs, through RSS feeds, or through mobile device updates. Keeping these updates regular and timely is what readers look for in a blog they are confident about visiting regularly.

During Hurricane season, weather blogs compile information from various sources into a format the average reader can understand. Weather blogs stay ahead of typical news cycles and issue informed updates as data comes in. Raw data from National Agencies needs to be interpreted fit readeras expectations. Weather based websites often provide raw data from various reporting agencies for bloggers to compile.

Weather websites generally link to blogs that offer specialized information. Such as a blog about hurricane happenings, or a tropical storm occurrence in a specific area. These blogs update as frequently as new information is available. Especially in areas of information which change constantly in regards to a specific location. Although your readers may not be in this area, they still may have a vested interests in the occurrences taking place there.

At times when important weather events are occurring, meteorological blogs refresh information on the hour to keep up with reader's feedback. A recent hurricane, Hurricane Gustav saw several thousand responses from readers that were not even within areas hit by the storm, or even within the United States. However, their desire to know caused a tremendous rise in feedback. Blogs dealing with topics like a currently occurring hurricane may even draw the attention of people outside of the United Sates.

Technical blogs post new information as soon as any source makes it available. Blogs following occurrences in places like the stock market will update daily. Personal blogs on social networking sites like myspace will update as relevant information occurs to the individual, or when they wish to hear feedback from their readers on a particular subject.

The voice and relevance of your posts is what will keep your readers returning to your blog. Links to affiliates who market through your blog may offer you extra income, but can also distract readers from your information. Readers are ultimately coming to you for this information. However, offering links that relate to mutual interests that you and your reader share can be mutually beneficial.

If you do choose to offer affiliate marketing information, such as personal business opportunities, keep these links in one place where you readers may choose to access it. If your voice consists of staying on topic, continue to stay on topic. If you readers seem to enjoy that you stray off topic, again, attempt to be consistent. It is your personal voice and the relevance of the information you offer that will keep the readers engaged, and ultimately cause them to become regular visitors.
