$60,000 in debt, and nothing to show for it
Mary Uhazi has more than $60,000 in credit card debt and, by her own account, “nothing to show for it.”

Uhazi is drowning in a sea of debt. And, like [...]

It’s not often that Internet companies last 10 years, but Moonfruit in the UK has proved pretty resilient. It survived the dotcom boom the first time round, launching with VC-backing, growing to 65 staff and cutting back to two staff in the space of a couple of years. It’s a wonder why they didn’t exit in the most recent boom, but here they are still, plugging away. And their resilience is proving to be an asset as their 10-years old web site building business comes back into fashion, even as more recent competitors like Weebly, Yola, MyDragnDrop and Webnode, and many others, try to capture the market for people who want to build simple web sites.

There is no ‘perfect’ business model as such, but in my view, nothing comes close to the digital information products model. People are hungry for information, especially insider information that you can’t get from bookstores. With information products, you don’t have to ship anything, rent office space or hire any employees, and you don’t even have to deal with fulfillment or support if you’re in affiliate marketing.
However, there are ways to make this business model even more efficient. Here’s how: Continue Reading

It has been several years since I started my own home business. Looking back, it’s interesting to see the transformation my business has gone through.

The mistakes and the lessons learned from them were vital. You can now gain a ’shortcut’ by learning from my mistakes so they don’t kill off your business. Continue Reading
For years I have been researching many different home based businesses, I have even joined a couple home based businesses. I will admit that I have been scammed, but I will also admit that I have made thousands upon thousands on the internet too with these home based businesses. In my journey, I have found many great programs, one of those programs being ReGenesis 2×2. With “ReGenesis 2×2,” I have been a great success, overall, I am happy that I joined “ReGenesis 2×2.” The matching bonuses that come with the program are great; I enjoy making money whenever my team makes money. However, to get those matching bonuses, I had to build a vast down line of people. In addition, I had to talk to many people also because many people believed that a program such as “ReGenesis 2×2,” was scam. Talking to these people, I had a great time, but not having to talk to anyone at all; can you do that in a home based business? Continue Reading
Over the years, I have been looking at numerous home based business programs. Many of these programs were scams, and many of these programs were not scams. I can honestly say to you that I have not even lost hundreds of dollars to these programs because I have been so careful in picking; I simply refuse not to do what I do not want to. In my journey, I have also found that many programs are legitimate, but many people in these programs are scam artists themselves, too. In short, if you find a legitimate program, you better be careful of the person you join under. However, recently I joined two programs: We Net Profits and Free Cash Project. Let me be honest with you, “We Net Profits” is a 1×2 matrix in which you only have to sign up two people to get paid. Your pay depends upon the level you join in “We Net Profits.” You can choose to join at the $50 level, $100 level, or $200 level. If you want, you can join all three levels, that would cost $350, and that would be the best way to make in the “We Net Profits” program. All in all, the cost to join is not bad at all, and the fact that you only have to sign up two people to get paid is not bad. However, on the other hand is “Free Cash Project.” Continue Reading

Cash gifting is a wonderful thing. The concept of sowing a seed in someone’s life through money was, and still is quite brilliant. For years people have been doing “cash gifting,” I, myself, have been doing it for years, and I must say that I love it. Being the internet marketer that I am, it is very rare that I pass up an amazing opportunity when I see one. For instance, when I first learned about “cash gifting,” I instantly knew what I wanted to do. Even though I have involved myself in many other home based businesses, “cash gifting” will always be my first love. Since I am a network marketer, I, of course, found “cash gifting,” and thought it had to be one of the most clever home based businesses ever. Recently though, I just found out that I was wrong.

Few tools of modern technology have become as prevalent as the cell phone, which allows you to be in touch almost all the time, almost anywhere. Today’s phones let you do more than just talk. You can send and receive instant messages and even listen to songs or watch videos after downloading them. You need to take into account what you’d like to do with your phone before you can decide on the right handset for you. Most low-end phones support sending and receiving text messages, handling basic e-mail chores, and doing limited Web surfing. More low-end phones are adding features like built-in cameras and music playback, but if you want faster or more-advanced Web access, video playback and recording, or GPS functionality, you’ll probably have to spring for at least an average or higher-end cell phone. And if you’re looking for a phone that will let you view and/or edit Office documents, consider a more-advanced PDA phone. Continue Reading

ReGenesis 2×2 is a great matrix program that includes great matching bonuses. For instance, when you bring in someone who cycles under you (it takes six people to cycle), and they make money, you make money, too. For example, every time you cycle, you make $400. In “ReGenesis 2×2” you bring in X, and he cycles, he gets $400, and you get a $400 dollar matching bonus. So if you cycle, and one of your down line cycles, you have now made $800, imagine if more than one person on your team cycles? To join “ReGenesis 2×2”, you have to pay $325. To get these matching bonuses, you have to build a down line which means you have to build a team, sign people up, and teach, talk, and coach people. However, in the end, it pays off, right? How about if you did not have to sign up people, and build a team that you had to constantly support, and still make good money? Continue Reading

An advertisement refers to a specific message that has been placed to persuade an audience. An advertising campaign is a series of co-ordinated advertisements that communicate a reasonably cohesive and integrated theme. The theme may itself be made up of several claims or points but should advance an essesntially singular theme. Successful advertising campaigns can be developed around a single advertisement placed in multiple media, or they can be made up of several different advertisements with a similar look, feel and message. Advertising campaigns can run for a few weeks or for many years. The advertising campaign is in many ways, the most challenging aspect of advertising execution. It requires a keen sense of the complex environments within which a marketer must communicate to different audiences and of how these messages interact with one another and audience.
