Did you play Monopoly as a child?  Do you still like to play this game?  Marketing a business on the internet is a lot like a giant Monopoly board . If you know how to play the game you will do very well, which should be your goal.   Everybody knows that in the game of Monopoly you can’t start to really build on your property until you have all of the same color. If you own Boardwalk and Park Place, you will do very well and make a lot of money, but if you only own Park Place you won’t make as much. The same goes for your online business. It is important to own as much matching real estate as possible.

When you are deciding on the name of your website and you are branding yourself online, you want to make sure that you are using something that you can monopolize. That doesn’t mean that you have to be 100% original and unique, it just means that you need to find a name or a niche that you can make your own.

Let’s say that you won the domain name MyHomeBusiness.com (this is of course just as an example, I am not sure this is even a site). You would then want to find every place possible for you to use MyHomeBusiness on the internet. You want to name your Youtube channel youtube.com/ MyHomeBusiness, your Twitter name to be MyHomeBusiness, your blog to be MyHomeBusinessblog.com, and any other sites. Do you see what I mean?

Whatever you call your site, you want to brand yourself with it as much as possible. You want to make sure that whenever people type in My Home Business into the search bar, they come to your site and not another. By picking a name and niche that can be almost totally yours, you will be able to dominate and brand yourself in a much more effective way.

Whenever you buy a new domain name or you think of the name of a new product that you are going to be promoting, you need to be thinking about all the different ways that you can use that name online.  Just the  dot com isn’t enough by itself anymore.  With so many social networking sites and keywords playing such a big part in your success online, you cannot afford to just have a great domain name.   You need to brand yourself completely on the internet.

Building a business online is just like a game of Monopoly.   When you have all the right pieces in place, you can’t lose!

We can all agree that Social Networking is HOT but…

Most social networks have one ENORMOUS shortcoming. They display advertisements on your site and earn advertising revenue for that but they keep 100% of it.

Look…right now…on your Facebook or MySpace page and see if you see ANY advertisements. I’ll bet that you do.

This Social Network pays you to place these ads on your site. You don’t even have to look at them.

Still Curious….or maybe Skeptical?

I understand things that sound to good to be true usually are not, BUT this is completely different. You know…Google and Yahoo have programmed everyone to log in to search the web from their surf engines.

When we spend time on Google, Yahoo, Facebook, MySpace, etc, we see advertisements on their sites and they get paid and 100% of this revenue goes straight to them.

This Social Network is a very generous and smart company. They are smart enough to know that 30% of everything is better than 100% of nothing.

Don’t get left behind and miss out on your revenue share. Every month you wait…you leave money on the table.

Having taken most of the summer off to spend time with my family, it it time I get back to work! Not that I have been idle. But I have not been writing blogs or doing articles. I have been on the web and social networks, and keeping in touch with friends.

I discovered this really neat website that I am really excited about. It has an entire new slant on how social networking can work. People String is just 6 months old, but is already ranked in Alexa. Did you ever hear of Facebook or Twitter a few years ago? I know that I didn’t. I wish that I had been a founding member of those organizations.

There are many unique features to the website.

The founders are paying members to be on the site. They are sharing a percentage of the profits from the advertisers to each member. Just for doing what you do everyday! When you go to Yahoo or Google, they have ads, but they keep the profits.

It has the world’s coolest email! Beside the normal email program, you have the ability to have your emails self destruct, sent video emails, check your sent mail to see if they have been read and several other features.

You can join the Mailbox_Cashbox program and elect to get snail mail sent to you that you will get paid to read. You already get junk mail every day, why not get paid to receive it!

There will be a social network up within the next few days. They plan to grow fast and catch up with Facebook and Twitter.

There is also a feature to get cash back for shopping on the net. The only other time I heard about this was a program that charges $19.95 a month to belong. This is free.

I have been adding members to my string so that when this explodes, I will be a position to start making some very serious money.  This is definitely a way of working smarter.

Why not join me and get paid for doing the things you are already doing? Get in on the basement floor to a new innovative company.

The key to success working from home or online is not just to work harder, it is to work smarter. It is important to work hard, but the person who is working smarter AND harder is the one who will reach their goals the fastest.  Here are three highly effective tips that will help you to stay on task and that can help you to work smarter and accomplish more.

1.    Take Breaks

One thing that can really help people become more effective is to take short breaks throughout your work day. This is recommended for a regular job, but it is especially helpful when working from home. Every two hours, give yourself a 10-15 minute mini break to relax, breathe and maybe get something done around the house before you start working again.

This will help you work a whole better once you get back into things. People who work and work and work and work and never stop are not going to be nearly as effective as the person who works hard for a while, takes a break and then starts back up again. It doesn’t seem to make sense, but it really does make a huge difference. I know for me, when I fail to stop for a while, I fine myself floundering around and not accomplishing much.

2.     Make a To Do List

To be more efficient, make a list of everything that you want to accomplish that day. After doing this, prioritize the list, so that you do the most important things first. The thing about owning your own business from home is that you have nobody telling you what is expected of you. Some people find it hard to make that transition from employee to business owner. Now you are the boss, so make it work for you.

When you write down everything that you want to get done that day, it will help you feel more accomplished because you can be checking things off the list all day long. You will be able to look at the finished checklist that evening and feel like you’ve really done something. You do not have to accomplish everything on your list, but you will have done the most important things and what is left can either go on tomorrow’s list, or cross it off as unimportant. This will just make you an all around more effective person!

3.     Set A Work Schedule

This does not have to be rigid, but you must have time to work.  Let everyone in the house that you are going to be working during certain hours. This can vary from day to day, or even hour to hour. Working for yourself allows you to not have to work 9 to 5.

Obviously you cannot leave your small children unattended, but older kids can learn to respect your work hours and your spouse can also help by watching the kids while you are working.

This saves so much time and helps you get much more done when you are not being interrupted by a husband, wife, roommate or children while you are trying to get things finished.  Many people post their “work hours” on their home office door and that lets others in the house know that they are working.  A white board is great for this, as it can be erased and changed.

Just doing these few things can help you become much more effective working from home. Remember working hard is important, but always work smarter first!
