It's been a long while since I last posted anything on my HomeBiz blog. Having shifted it from another hosting company and then giving up the domain for this current version. Well in business there are ups and downs, and finding the right niche in the business blogosphere was just the same, not to mention very extremely competitive!
Well at first you don't succeed, try and try again. Meanwhile you would need to restructure and re-organize (sounding just like those big corp after having taken a major hit in their profits). And looking at my old website, I decided to redesigned the new template using an existing blogger template. Kept it simple but still looking nice. Nothing fancy, just try to make it soothing to the eyes at the very least to avoid garish design that would not go well with visitors that happened to drop by.
Anyway, the past 2 years was huge letdown by Google with their Panda and Penguin algorithm, and very likely made many affiliates and webmaster cry bloody murder. My own sites was not spared either despite not doing anything spammy and trying to be as authoritative as possible and yet still got hammered by the software that has no soul and empathy. It was just doing what it was programmed to do. After all it was a robot, and robots has no heart. You have been terminated! So to speak! That's why in the Terminator movies, the heroes had a hard time fighting those robots!
Anyway, I'm trying to re-look for a new angle for my SoHo Home Biz site. The old stuff were a bit too negative, and scaremongering probably won't get you anywhere much. I would still keep it around and just archive it in my website somewhere as it progress.
In the meantime, a friend of mine introduced some interesting online scheme. The returns look great, but if it is too much of a good thing, it may not be so good as it could be a scam. Anyway, just give it a try and at least recover my capital first. Not the first time I lost money.
As they said, "Fortune comes to those who dare." and I have dared many times.
Anyway good opportunity are not so easy to come by, but if one does come along, even though it is high risk, well, if you got spare cash to risk it for high returns, why not give it a go?
Of course not everybody has the stomach for this. And thus still kept on chugging at their old job, or hard to sell MLM program, and various other agency stuff. It takes a hard nut to clear the 80% failure rate. As Napolean Hill observed, you just might be at the tipping end on the verge of success and then you gave up. Not knowing you were so close to clinching the big deal of your life!
So reach for the stars, and keep your feet firmly on the ground.
To HomeBiz success!

Web business idea
I know there are many internet marketers out there trying to make a killing but not making any headway. There is this post that came up on my comment here saying click, click, click you can generate so much sum of money.
So let me show you what they mean and how it works.
USD0.01 X 100,000,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD0.10X 10,000,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD1.00 X 1,000,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD10 X 100,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD100 X 10,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD1,000 X 1,000 clicks = USD1mil
Everybody happy become millionaires. Yippee!
Were if it that easy I've become a millionaire already. It is a simpleton idea. But the fact is where are you going to get those clicks?
The thing is they are all selling homogenous products. Which means if I'm selling sugar, you are selling sugar, everybody same-same and no USP (unique selling point), then you will have a hard time. If I do something interesting and sell organic sugar, then can jack up the price because there is something special about organic sugar, it is derived from plants grown organically and thus should not be contaminated by pesticides or other chemicals. Even then it is almost similar product. Slightly better USP.
On the other hand, if you can find some special niche, something that not many people wants to do, but something that you know very well, that's your USP. And how to achieve some success with it? Use SBI of course. It provides the tools on how to leverage what you know to create an online web business.
So far SBI has worked well for me. And so are my friends and many people. It is not a lazy-get-rich-quick system. It requires work on your part. If hardwork turns you off then don't read on. In fact don't read all those people selling ebooks about making it online. They are all the same with not much value in it. Get a real proven system like SBI.
By leveraging on what you know, you can create a niche area where you could either earn back from:
The monetizing model requires thought, and what works for one, may not work for another. But before it does so, you need to put up the website first and draw the traffic in with your well writing content geared for both humans and robots (for SEO purposes) but ultimately it should be written for people because that's where your main target should be.
Good luck!

- Google Adsense - the simplest earning model but requires a lot of hardwork to get website traffic
- Get advertising sponsors - requires selling skill, but first your website must have traffic to show. Has a better income return from monthly renewals.
- Sell tangible products - eg organic sugar
- Sell intangible products - eg services
- or a combination of tangible and intangible products
The monetizing model requires thought, and what works for one, may not work for another.

Create business website that is lasting
A recent newsletter by Ken Evoy talks about how to create business website that is lasting. It strikes the fact that many people who use the dubious method of gaming their website trying to fool search engines to get top ranking in the search engine would surely be in their demise. Having created a website using Site Build It, I could vouch the fact that my traffic continue to grow, grow and grow. Sure it may not be fast, but remember, the tortoise beats the hare because of dogged determination and not by using shortcuts.
Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are very much aware what those SEOers are trying to do. Just a note, it was reported that Google made 400 adjustments to their search engine algorithm in one year alone should you tell you something about what Google is trying to do. They are trying to weed out those websites that are trying to fool the search engine in order to get good high page ranking in the searches. By getting one's website list high, the notion that you will get high website traffic and that would eventually translate to profit. The thing was, those website do not provide much in terms of value to visitors.
So going by the doctrine:
This is every bit as true today as it was in early years of World Wide Web. Create business website that provide good quality content to attract visitors. And good quality content can be very lasting for many years to come, giving each visitors or repeat visitors the value of using your reference. You gain credibility, and become sort of like a guru, and if the visitors like you and your product, they will make a purchase that you recommend or even buy your products on offer.
In the words of Ken Evoy:
Search engines like Google is definitely scrutinizing each website, and well, knocking out those scammy review sites and not to forget eBay is slamming those who use hubpages, Squidoo, and Blogger, which have long been "splogger/Web spammer heaven.
And, of course, Google tracks all that, refining their search algorithms even further. Sooner or later, they're going to devalue links from hubpages, today.com, Blogger, Squidoo, and most of the article-marketing sites (all those that don't work hard to ensure quality submissions).
Even nowadays, the web surfers are getting savvier than ever. They learn fast. Spotting that fishy, get rich quick, low-value website that just isn't providing them with the value that they want. And the next thing you know, they are off to another website.
Respect your audience. Respect yourself. Respect the engines. Provide them with the kind of answers, information, and resources they won't be able to find anywhere else.
Provide them with YOUR original content. It's not only good karma, it's good business. And good for YOUR business.
1. Avoid the SEO and GRQ schemes that are rooted in exploiting a weakness on the Web. Those holes get plugged.
2. Contribute YOUR OWN unique well-crafted content to the Web. Keep doing it! Value is cumulative.
3. Respect your audience AND Google. They pay your bills.

In the words of Ken Evoy:
"Keep it real. Add value." Old-fashioned? Yup, dating right back to the beginning of capitalism. If you don't add enough REAL value to your customer to make her feel that she's made a profit off of you in exchange for her dollars, you are, in the long run, doomed.
As an affiliate, if you want real success promoting products and services online, you simply must add value for your audience. Let's summarize that as...
VIVO! A Spanish word, it means... "Live!" It also stands for... Value in. Value out. That reciprocity is the road to business success, which ultimately impacts how you LIVE!
Create value for your visitors (and the Web as a whole). They are delighted to return value to you. There is no mystery why there are so many delighted SBI! owners. Nor is it a surprise that the sites of everyday people receive thousands of visitor per day, who LOVE their sites.
It's no mystery if you understand... VIVO!

HomeBiz Entrepreneur
Ever consider becoming a homebiz entrepreneur? It could well be a refreshing change from a corporate employee. Is a fast pace corporate life and a high consumption lifestyle your thing, or would a laid back shift to low gear and self-reliant lifestyle giving you back the freedom to be with your family the answer to your prayers?
Carl Honore, author of In Praise of Slow, says "Work devours the bulk of our waking hours. Everything else in life is forced to bend around the almighty work schedule."
Many people feel the need to regain some aspect of their working life. Answering to bosses whims and demanding orders is a sure way of losing control. Worse are those that has a distinct look down upon their subordinates thinking they are the king of the hill and grinding their employees like some soldiers in the battlefield.
One way to escape the control freaks would be to start your own business, perhaps an online homebiz using Site Build It system. After all, you may receive a pay package but felt that it is not equivalent to your talents and skills, or perhaps you have a greater skill but remain untapped or even unappreciated by your current employer. You do indeed have skills, far greater than you realize, skills that can take you far and further than being an employed would take you.
Neil Croft, author of Authentic: How to Make a Living by Being Yourself, says "Enough of us recognise our need to understand and realise our own potential, and it becomes clear that helping big corporations to become bigger and exploit better fails to deliver that for us." ...
The frustration of working under corporate workforce is just that. You are but a small little cog in their wheel of fortune. Losing you isn't a big matter to them. There are many others who could easily replace you even if you are in some senior position, where politicking is at their worse. So you may make millions for your company, and of course they may give you some bonus, a raise and some lip service. However if you can make millions for company, you know how to work the ways of income generation, so why not create start up and do it on your own?
The Advantages
Homebiz entrepreneurship liberates you from the reins of working life. You create your own job functions, you decide on your own working hours and you make your own work-life balance. Homebiz entrepreneurship is informal and ideal if you thrive on informal work at home business settings.
Doing your own work at home biz allows you to determine your own measure of success. There is a tremendous satisfaction in setting up your own homebiz and running it successfully. You will feel happier from what you have set out to do on your own.
The Disadvantages
As a homebiz entrepreneur, you face challenges of being focused in your home based business and the need to be self sufficient. You must always remain on track and stay on the path to success and not let distractions lead you on a time wasting detours. Distractions reduce your productivity and hinder your ability to achieve your daily objectives. Pull yourself together whenever you find yourself distracted and doing trivial things especially when there are important and urgent task at head that you need to tackle and settle it.
You also need to know the difference between distractions and diversions. Diversions staves off boredom and keeps you motivated. They are breaks that keep your mind fresh and to provide you interest to perform at your peak.
Here are some suggestions to minimise distractions:
Sometimes the task at hand seems like a big wall and you find yourself procrastinating. Try to break your task into smaller segments, and as you complete each segment, move on to the next. You will feel the satisfaction grows as each segment is completed. There may also be instances where you admire your each of your completed task, yes admire them, congratulate yourself with a reward too, but don't waste too much time as there are more things to do!
Networking
Running your own homebiz entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey, especially when starting it off. You may feel isolated away from your friends and colleagues and might miss the hustle and bustle of activities of an office. So do widen your network with people which could be vital to your homebiz success. They could provide you with information or leads that would lead to sales generation or open doors for opportunities. It also helps you to keep track of what is happening your area of work. Schedule a time of when to meet up with people and build up your contact list. Contacts is vital as it was once said and still remains true to this day even with the wide online information network, "It is not what you know, but who you know that would bring about your success."

Here are some suggestions to minimise distractions:
- Clear your desk of anything unconnected with the task at hand
- Divert your phone to a voicemail
- Unless you need to answer each and every email urgently, you may look at your email at specific times of the day. Eg check once in the morning, once in the evenings.
- Resist taking extended lunches or tea breaks
