You must stand firm. You must make certain your friends and family understands that when you are working, then you ARE working! If they wish to socialize with you, then they need to do it during hours that are not dedicated to your home business.

You are only one who can stand up for you. Your friends and family will seldom be able to appreciate your dedication to your home business, unless you make effort to make sure that they have same respect for your business that you do.

TIP #5: You should allot a certain portion of your day to email and to regular mail. For example, allot one hour in morning and one hour in afternoon to handling your written communications.

Unless you dedicate certain times to handling of these communications, you will soon find yourself on downward slope of decreased productivity.

TIP #6: When you find yourself spending too much time doing non-productive activities, then you should seriously consider finding a third-party service provider who will assist you in those non-profitable business activities.

As an example, you might be in mail-order business. You might believe that your time is best spent writing ad copy and setting up your advertising, but you find yourself spending far too much time taking care of your books to take care of your advertising in manner that you should. In this event, it might make more sense to hire a bookkeeper to handle your financial records for you.

CONCLUSION: In end, success of your home business is entirely and completely reliant upon you and decisions that you make.

You had your reasons for deciding to start your own home based business. You must always keep your reasons in forefront of your mind. You must always be able to rely upon your own self and your dedication to success of your business.

Your friends and family might be annoyed that they cannot come visit upon their own whim, but when success comes to you and your business, they will better appreciate you for putting your foot down when necessary.

Success is within your reach, if only you can stay focused on your goals. You must decide to reach for your goals, and then, you must have discipline necessary to reach them.

3) NO CONTENT.

Don’t expect to have top placement with a bunch of affiliate links in your website. The algorithms are very well designed and ban these kinds of web pages. You must have content. Articles, e-books, software, information or whatever you think is appropriate and relative with your site.

4) DO NOT OVERDO IT WITH OPTIMIZATION.

You may have heard importance of optimization for your web site but don’t overdo it. You should keep balance. The search engines are smarter than you think and will lower your site’s position for that.

5) NAME YOUR WEB PAGES WITH YOUR KEYWORDS-KEYWORD PHRASES. Name your web pages after your important keyword phrase. For example if your keyword phrase is “car accessories” then name your page

Car-accessories.html e.t.c.

6) REMOVE META TAGS

Remove unnecessary meta tags like date, author e.t.c. You should use only META REFRESH tag and META DESCRIPTION tag.

7) NOT TOO MANY LINKS.

Limit number of links on every web page to 50. If you have more try to divide them to more pages or keep most important links.

8) USE A SITE MAP

A site map is a page which contains structure of your site. It’s important to have one in your home page because engines can spider your site’s sub pages and index your entire site.
