Tila Tequila, Chris Crocker, iJustine, the Obama girl, ForbiddeN, Boxxy, if you don’t know who any of these people are that’s ok but let me tell you. They’re all the names of people (ok most of them aren’t their real names) who have become celebrities from the internet.
That’s right. All these people and so many more are getting a ton of attention just from marketing themselves on the internet. On places like Myspace and Youtube for free. So what does that have to do with you and your business you ask?
If these people… most of whom I don’t mind telling you aren’t that bright. Can get famous and sometimes even pretty rich from using free website to promote themselves what do you think it can do for your and your home based business?
So how do you become an honest to goodness internet marketing superstar? Here are a few tips for you.
#1 Don’t care what people think of you
Most of the people I listed have people who LOVE them and then there are the haters. Ignore the haters. If people are talking about you it’s a good thing.. PERIOD.
Say something bold, wear something out there, get loud, get crazy just get people’s attention!
#2 Use free stuff
If you have a home based business and you don’t have a Myspace, Youtube, Twitter, or Facebook account you’re a fool. I mean why wouldn’t you use it if it’s free? It just makes no sense. Sure there are a lot of kids and teens on all of these sites but there are also adults who are looking for exactly what you have to offer. You just have to find them.
#3 Be everywhere!
You don’t just need one video on Youtube and a Myspace account. You need a ton of videos and lots and lots of Myspace friends. It’s not enough to do a little and expect people to take notice. You have to be all over the internet. Don’t allow people to ignore you.
#4 Find a niche and go with it
Brand yourself with something memorable and make that your trademark. When you have a signature phrase, hat, or outfit people will remember it more easily thus helping you to go viral.
#5 Don’t take yourself too seriously
Your business is a serious matter but that doesn’t mean you have to be boring and spouting off a bunch of fact that nobody really cares about. Have some fun with your business, yourself and your image.
Follow these steps and you can become an internet marketing superstar!

Working Moms Know When To Take A Break
When you’re trying to build a business your first instinct might be to work night and day every single day until you reach your goal. However, while hard work is important it is also important to give yourself a break now and then if you really want to build your business in the best and fastest way possible.
Before I really get into this I want to say that there is nothing wrong with hard work. In fact if you are looking to build a business that will provide you with the income and the lifestyle most home based business owners crave you’re going to need a lot of hard work.
This article is in now way designed to discourage you from putting in the time and effort any business needs, it’s also not claiming results without effort because that would just be foolish.
However, giving yourself a break from time to time is essential in being at your highest level of productivity.
When you rest and relax your body and mind are able to recharge and your levels of energy and creativity go way up. Try giving yourself small 15 to 20 minute breaks throughout the day and I know you will notice the difference.
If you’re the type of person who finds it difficult to stop during the day and take some time for yourself try creating a schedule for your work and sticking with it.
Be careful however not to take too long of a break, 15 minutes every two hours or so should do it.
When you take care of your body and mind it will take care of you and your body is just not designed to go, go, go, go without stopping for long periods of time.
Think of it this way. You can work 14 hours a day with very low productivity or 5 hours a day with high productivity… which sounds more appealing to you?
If there happens to be a day when you really can’t slow down for whatever reason try to give yourself that time the next day. Obviously there are situations when you just can’t leave your work just try not to make it a habit.
In conclusion I hope you understand that hard work and diligent effort is something that all home based businesses need to be successful. However, don’t be afraid to take some time to stop and smell the roses. It will help your business in ways you can’t even imagine.
Remember, success is not a destination it’s a journey so don’t forget to enjoy the ride!

Stay At Home Moms Succeed In Home Based Business
Is it really true at almost all network marketers fail in their home based businesses?
In a word…. Yes! I’m sorry to burst your bubble and I’m pretty sure that’s not something they told you when you signed up or went to your first meeting, but it’s true.
Why am I telling you this? Not because I want you to fail because believe me I love seeing people make as much money from home as possible! I’m telling you this because you deserve the truth.
I believe that one of the worst thing network marketers do is they give people false hope. Now I’m not saying that they shouldn’t tell you their business works, because it probably does. I’m also not saying they shouldn’t tell you about all the big money success stories, because they deserve to be heard.
What I’m saying is they should tell you the cold hard facts:
Network marketing is awesome and it allows ordinary, hard working people to make 6 or even 7 figures from home!
And
You’re gonna have to work for it!
We live in a society that wants everything and wants everything right now! We aren’t so big on waiting for results. However, if you really want to build a true and lasting income from home it’s going to take time and it’s going to take hard work.
So what can you do if you need success sooner rather than later? The answer is simple… you can work harder. And what if hard work just isn’t your thing… can you still have success? Absolutely, but it’s going to take a lot longer.
You see, regardless of what you’ve heard or what your uncle Bob has told you the truth is, network marketing as a business plan works! And if you work hard enough or stick it out for enough time you can have success in any business!
The trouble is most people aren’t willing to put in the time or the effort to see the real success. A lot of them quit before they should and THAT is why almost all network marketers fail.
Not because of the comp plan or the product, not because of a bad upline or because it’s a scam. The simple truth, and the part that kind of stings is. In almost all cases where people fail in network marketing, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Don’t be one of the people who fail in this industry, work hard, put in the time and there is no doubt whatsoever that you will see success and lots of it!

Stay At Home Moms Make Money On The Phone
One of the hardest things for home based business owners to do can be simply picking up the phone and calling a prospect. In fact it’s a fear that is hard for even the most confident marketers.
Unfortunately, it’s something that every single network marketer will have to get good at eventually if they ever want to be successful in their business. It really is a silly thing to be nervous about when you think about it… people have a need and you have the solution! We should be excited to talk to people not nervous! We have what people need!
If you’re nervous or just downright scared of calling people on the phone one of the things you can do is practice in front of the mirror. Sure you might feel a little silly but it really can help you become more confident in what you’re saying.
This method is particularly helpful if you plan on using a script on the phone. A lot of times it’s the fear of the unknown that makes calling prospects so scary. So when you know your script backwards and forwards you’ll be much more confident.
Another thing you can do is practice with a friend or your spouse. Have them play different types of prospects and try to make the best out of every situation.
You see, the fact of the matter is… and this part really stinks…. Some people probably are going to be rude to you over the phone. When this use to happen to me I would get extremely upset because I thought it was my fault, something I had done wrong. It of course wasn’t, those people were just having a bad day or had some other type of problem that had absolutely nothing to do with me.
Listen to that carefully because most people don’t get it, when people are rude to you over the phone it has nothing to do with you! Once you understand that fact it becomes a lot easier to deal with the rude, nasty people because you know that it’s their problem not yours.
Of course 90% of the time there is nothing to be afraid of at all. Out of the thousands and thousands of people I’ve ever spoken to on the phone almost all of them have been incredibly nice and kind. Sure not all of them were interested in my business, but that’s just life.
Some will, some won’t, so what, someone’s waiting.
Somewhere out there, there are tens, hundreds maybe even thousands of people who want what you have to offer. So get on the phone, ignore the rude people, and start dialing like crazy. Because the more people you call… the closer you are to your victory!
