The Home Biz Blog

1 year anniversary of The Home Biz Blog

Wow, it's been a year since my first post on The Home Biz Blog, amazing. This year went by fast!

No major changes in my home business life - well, my downline keeps growing and my income increases steadily so I'm satisfied.

• I'm still using the Plug-In Profit Site system a lot.
• I still think TrafficSwarm is the best traffic exchange available - the only one that actually brings you quality traffic.. and results.
• I'm still using Google AdWords to get targeted prospects.
• I'm still working on my eBook, Residual Website Traffic which I hope I can publish in a couple of months.

I joined a few new opportunities in 2004...

• Madison Dynamics Inc. - still doing pretty good thanks to Stone Evans and the Plug-In Profit Site system - I got a nice downline and I'm using the MDI products.
• Empowerism is the newest addition to the Plug-In Profit Site system and even though I just joined a few weeks ago I already got a pretty good downline - This is looking very promising, very good "feeling" around this program.
• NoBSzone was one of the "buzzes" in 2004... and will also be in 2005 when they introduce the first income opportunity. Mike G and co. have created an interesting system that will work for anybody no matter their skill, experience or when they join the program - they will benefit.

Running a home business is a learning process and I am studying all the time, reading eBooks, tuturials, courses, articles, etc. and developing new skills. But I have way too little time to read all the articles and eBooks (both free and for sale) available even though I would like to. That's why it's so refreshing to find eBooks/reports that are concise and to the point - something that is worth my time.

This is actually what I found in a few recent reports by Charlie Page, owner of the Directory of Ezines. They were all top-notch information with no fluff. It's also really nice how he takes you step by step so you can create something while you learn. Hands-on experience is often the best way to learn something new.

One of these reports was called How To Write Killer Ads In Under 10 Minutes and it teaches you how to write effective Google AdWords ads (for example) that get higher click-through-rates (which means you save money). You can actually get it right here.

The most popular entry on The Home Biz Blog is definitely the one with the Gmail invites. Although I'm not giving everybody invites anymore I still have a few extra invites - so if you have something to offer let me know.

In my opinion, the best free service I discovered in 2004 is StatCounter because it makes it so easy to keep track of your visitors through a free counter on all your webpages.

I'm determined to make 2005 my best year yet - publishing an eBook, building my network, discovering new niches and opportunities and creating new income streams.
