Managing your home office and business(es). Discuss organization and planning (time management) etc.

One-Way links are links you create back to your own site, from different places you may submit your URL.  Forums are one good way to network with affiliates and a good way to get some one-way links. For the newbies, forums are like message boards. They are websites, or sections of websites, where people go to chat and discuss a specific subject. There are forums and message boards about just about everything these days, including several about internet marketing. Some are specifically for members of affiliate programs. (more…)

Are there drawbacks to working at home? NOT LIKELY!  Can you handle working alone? YES! I get along much better with my co-workers.

Okay, no problem, guess I will have to come up with something, as I am unaccustomed to so much bliss in the workplace!  I love it so much that I can’t stop until I am literally blurry-eyed EVERY NIGHT! I log in first thing 8-9:am and go home to the living room about 11:00pm and even later sometimes. (more…)

Did you know there is a difference? Well, there is. “Work-at-Home” denotes something that you can just sit down and do, maybe for a small fee or other charge. Examples of this would be when you do paid surveys, mystery shopping, etc. With some of those you buy a database that has companies that will pay with either cash or prizes, for your opinion. These are fun to do – even without the money, I would like someone to care about my opinion – and who knows maybe some companies make improvements based on the answers! (more…)

It’s never too early to start putting your home business tax receipts and records together. Why wait and then be in a state of chaos! Why wait until April 14th? I don’t know about you, but when I am expecting a refund, I do my taxes the minute I get my last W2, 1099 or receipt in hand – usually by February 1! (more…)
